Plane Landed By Parachute

Somewhere in the Marians ls- lands, Jan. ls- (UP) Doing the almost impossible, an ingenious Marine Corps pilot from Hyannis. Mass, landed his crippled hospital plane ''by parachute" and thereby ayerted an all but inevitable crash' it's was announced today.
 Capt. Donald Vail of the Fourtn Marine Air Wing was about 10 Iano when a leak in the hydraulic sys- tenn developed, making bakes ana landing flaps useless. with 10 hospital cases abroad, crash landing appeared certain until Vau suddenly thought of the parachutes on the ship.
 He ordered crewmen to lash tha parachutes to supporting struts m the planes cabin, then toss the chutes out of emergency hatches and pull the releases when signed. Then, the captain cut his speed to a bare minimum, gliding the large transport to the very tip or the runway, utilizing every foot or the airstip. Halfway along the run way, he gave the signal.
 The parachutes billowed out, catching the rushing .airstream. Slowly, the huge plane settled and rolled to stop at the extreme end of the runway. The landing was made without jarring the patients or scratching the plane.
