Operations officers at Boiling

of the crash there last night during
the rainstorm of BIS bomber
from which six crew members es-
capped with relatively slight injuries
despite the almost complete demol-
fishing of their plane.
Based at Andrews Field, Md. the
twin-engine bomber arrived there
from Tampa, Fla, to find the field
closed in and was sent over to
Boiling Field. After debating
whether to order the crew to para
chute, the pilot, Maj. r. P. San
ford, elected to try a landing on
the rain-soaked runway at $40 pm.
He overshot the field in poor Wis
ibility, skidded on applying his
brakes. crashed through a wire
fence at the north end of the run
way and came to a halt on the
brink of the Potomac River. Though
severely shaken up, the six made
their way from the wreckage.
Treated at Boiling Field Hospital

Thomas, Master Sergt. T. S. Ames.
Staff Sergts. Arthur C. Williams jr.,
and Robert Johnson, and Sergt.
Benjamin Semmler. With the ex-
ception of Sergt. Williams, who re-
ceived a possible fractured right

ment for superficial cuts and

War Veteran Firemen
Unite 10 Build Homes

Twenty-four members of the Dis
trict Fire Department, all veterans
of World War II, have organized a
cooperative building association to
help themselves and other ex-serv-
icemen to acquire land for mod
erately priced homes in the District
area
The group, which has applied for
a charter under the title of Vet
erans' Mutual Building Association
Inc. is headed by Capt. L. B. Wilson
of No. 7 Engine Company, former
Coast Guard lieutenant.
Capt. Wilson said the association
hopes, by amassing sufficient buying
power. to acquire land and building
materials at rates considerably be-
low the prices currently demanded
which he described as "exorbitant.
He asserted the group hoped tc
interest some public spirited cit
izen" in placing at their disposal
enough land to build about 40 homes
in the $6,000- -to-$8 900 bracket. In
addition to the "a original members
any other ex-servicemen would be
eligible to join the association.
Fire Department regulations limit
the location of flremen's homes tc
within II miles of the Capitol, he
pointed out. With this condition
excepted, he said the association
had no particular site in mind.
Shares in the association have
been sold at $500 each, according te
Capt. Wilson. The housing group
is legally represented by r. L. SUIT
phin, who is also counsel for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
