One plane he came to was a

getting everything clear in his

SEEMINGLY DIFFICULT - All

We have found out, in an aston

that seemingly difficult question.
''Does anyone remember the name
of the first movie shown at Fox
Towards old Bijou theatre?"
We now call it a seemingly diff
ficult question because of the great
ease and facility with which a GER
tain Wilmington lady came up
with the answer.
And We'll stake our reputation,
such as it is, that the answer is
correct, because the lady who sent
it to us is lone other than Mrs.

TIMELESS CLASSIC-As a mat
ter of fact, Mrs Howard sent us two
answers to the question.
1t turns out that the first movie
shown in the Bijou was actually
two movies.

Is DIE IN STORM
AS PLANE CRASHES
Cat Army Transport
Dives Into Wheatfield
In Flames

GOODLAND, Kan, July I9.-U.D
Thirteen persons-10 passengers
and three crew members o. a CAT
Army transport-died in a flash
of flames when their plane crashed
into a wheat stubble field 10 miles
southwest of here during a thunder
storm Thursday night.
Charles Biller, Goodland news
paperman who drove through a
mile of deep mud to reach the
scene, said the plane was splint-
cred almost beyond recognition as
a plane. The bodies all had BEN
blown clear of the wreckage,
which was spread over a large
area.
Clothing Blown Off
The clothing had been blown
off the bodies of II of the men,
Bigler said. "All were mangled
terribly"
The plane was believed to have
struck the top of a knoll, bounced
twice, and exploded on its third
contact with the ground.
The wreckage was not found un-
til Friday when the Topeka Army
Air base announced the plane was
missing on the Denver
leg of a routine coast-to-coast
flight.
Farmers living in the vicinity
said they saw a flash Of light
about $50 p. m. but believed it
came from a bolt of lightning. 1t
was raining heavily.
Sees Scattered Fire
Only one man who saw the flash
and the subsequent scattered fire
in the wheat stubble believed it
was a plane crash. He was Victor
Follett, a local flier. He was visit
ing at a farm house two miles dis
lance.
He drove several miles to the
Goodland airport and asked if any
planes we're missing. He was told
there had been no report. When
he heard the Topeka Air base re-
port Friday he drove directly to
the scene.
Bigler said parts of the plane
were 500 yards apart in the muck.
The wings and motors were about
200 yards apart. Remains of the
cabin had been thrown forward be-
tween them.
