Air Line Pilots Ask
Board
10 Promote Safety
n tha A..oeiuied pr...

NEW YORK, June 14.-Establish-
nlent of an independent air safety
board was proposed today by the
Air Line Pilots Association at q
Civil Aernautics Board inyestiga-
tion OF the United Air Lines DC-4
crash May 20 at La Guardia Field.
The accident cost 43 lives.
The crash toll rose to 43 today
with the death of Mack Gordon, ST.
year-old Cleveland business execu-
tive, in q New York Hospital.
Mr.. Gordon, whose wife also was
injured, suffered serious burns be-
fore escaping from the blazing ship.
Hospital attaches said Mrs. Cor
don's condition was good.
Gives No Details.
John F. Rice of Chicago, Air Line
Pilots counsel, did not go into detail
on his proposal but said the board
should be set up as soon as possi-
BILE"
Closing the runway on which the
UAL DC-4 was starting to take OH, :,
to four -engined craft 'is no parti-
cular contribution to the overall
safety picture" Mr.. Rice said.
He also urged development OF a
non volatile f1ue, saying that COM
paratively minor crackups win con-
tinue to urn into flaming funeral
pyres as long as integral fuel tanks
are used which will spill raw gas on
hot exhaust stacks anytime the wing
surface is even slightly ruptured." !"
Emergency Exits Favored.
Mr.. Rice said the pilots associa-
ton also favored emergency exits
which could be opened from the
outside of the plane, and that fire
extinguishing systems which auto
matically discharge on impact
should be installed.
Earlier testimony centered on the
gust lock control, designed to pre-
vent sudden gusts of wind from
changing exterior controls, after
Capt. Benton Baldwin, the pilot,
testified that "heaviness of con-
trols" was one of the factors in his
decision to try and halt the plane
while still on the runway.

dollars. and many would collect
considerably more
This situation could Immediately
be corrected with the enactment by
Congress of either the Jones bill or
the LANCER Chavez measure. The
Jones bill would permit retirement
fund Withdrawals by dismissed Fed
eral workers with less than 10 years
of service. The LANCER measure
which provides for the liberalization
OF the entire civil service retirement
system, contains provision which
would permit laid-off Government
employees to withdraw their money
regardless of the time spent in Fed
eral service.
The Langer-Chavez bill has been
approved by the Senate Civil Service
Committee and is now awaiting
Senate action. 1t is also expected
to receive favorable report Tues
day from House Civil Service sub
committee. The Jones bill has been
favorably reported by the House
Civil Service Committee
These bills also would greatly aid
many young women in Government
here who are losing their jobs and
vino have been in the Federal service
here for six or seven years. The
present 5-year provision prevents
these employees from withdrawing
their retirement money to alleviate
their financial plight.

were going up to take charge. They
were just in time because the few
responsible men at the scene were
having difficulty holding back the
curious, several of them women, who
had made the difficult climb to see
the gruesome sight. The dismem-
bered bodies will have to be car
ried down in baskets. They made
the sight as horrible as pictures from
Belsen and Dachau and it was no
relief that no one had intended that
they should die.
Climb Is Difficult.
The climb up the mountainside
to get to the wreckage was even
more difficult than anticipated. 1t
seemed possible thing to do when
the wreckage was sighted. There
were times on the craggy slope, when
every grapevine tripped and every
black raspberry bush ripped the
skin, that it seemed impossible. On
the way up I fell in with a curious
sort of person who was making the
climb, he said, to help. 1t did not
take much conversation to conclude
he was some sort of psycopath.
Man Picks Up BillfoId.
At the wreckage he was caught
picking up a bilfold. A State
trooper made him put it down. 81
am not to pick up anything, sir?'
he asked innocently.

runs attracted their attention. The
culvert is at the edge of Haywood
Gardens near Arundel road and
Russell avenue.
Water running along the ditch
was only an inch or two deep, Lin
wood said, and covered only the
very center of the bottom which Is
lined with cement. The boys pulled
their wagon into the ditch and
walked along it into the culvert
where a group of older boys were
setting off firecrackers.
While they were there a thun-
derstom brought a driving rain.
The older boys left. Linwood and
Marlyn said they decided to stay
in the culvert out of the rain ito
keep from getting wet"
Water Carries Boys Off.
The storm sewers of the area
drain into the ditch. The water
began to rise and the boys stood
in the wagon to keep their feet dry.
Then" Linwood said, "I heard
roar and looked around to see
a big ball of water rolling at me-"
The water tumbled the boys from
the wagon. Linwood said he remem-
bered calling mama, mama" many
times as he rolled along with the
torrent out of the culvert and into
the open ditch again. Marlyn
thought he might have called for
help, but he wasn't sure.
Almost 1000 feet downstream, Mr..
Cleveland and Mrs. Johnston were
standing on the small wooden bridge
that crosses the stream at Twenty
ninth street watching the storm wa
tiers rise. They saw the boys bobbing
along in the water, now above the
surface then disappearing.
Mrs. Johnston rushed down the
bank on the upstream side of the
bridge. She extended a hand to
Marlyn who caught it, but the COM
bined force of his weight and the
water pulled her into the stream
with him.
Wagon Is Recovered.
Mr.. Cleveland had braced himself
on the other side of the bridge,
meanwhile, by grabbing a beam with
one hand. Mrs. Johnston and Mar
lyn were swept against him and he
grabbed them to him with his free
arm.
Meanwhile Linwood was already
sitting on the bank some 20 yards
upstream. He had been swept in to-
ward the side and managed to grab
the bank and pull himself from the
water.
The red wagon was recovered later
about one-half mile beyond the
point where the boys were rescued
near the Mount Rainier High School.
Mr. Cleveland estimated the water
was eight feet deep at the bridge
when the boys were in the stream.
He and Mrs. Johnston led the boys
home.
Told Not to Get Wet.
Mrs. Linwood Butler said her son,
as he stood dripping in the front
room of their apartment, first said:
1--WE still got my bubble gum Nom, !"
then began to answer her frantic
questions.
"The last thing I told him when
he left home was not to get wet"
Mrs. Butler said later. 'They brought
him home dripping, but was never
more glad to see him"
Several residents of the neighbor-
hood who heard of the incident
expressed indignation that authori-
ties had not put protecting bars

Refoule's only statement after be-
Ing booked and fingerprinted was
that police wanted to arrest him for
his wifes murder and couldn't, so
they arrested me on something
else"
The case will be presented to a
Fulton County grand jury Tuesday.
Conviction on the charge in Geor-
gia carries a maximum penalty OF
life Imprisonment.
In commenting earlier on the
charge, Refoule said, There is moth
ing to that" His formal arrest came
after he submitted to two lie detec-
tor tests. Twice previously Refoule
has been questioned by County
Police Chief Neal Ellis for hours
on end-once for nearly 36 hours.
Ellis, however, said the slight and
stopped artist had signed a state
ment admitting to sex perversion.
Refoule was taken by police at the
Atlanta airport last night in a sur
prise move shortly after he had
welcomed his parents, Judge and
Mrs. Robert Refoule, from their
home in Orleans, France.
