Pilot Steers His Rudderless Plane With Doors

SEATTLE, - R -"If I'm Co., ing to crash, I want to be close to home"
 That was the explanation given last night by Grover C. Greimes of Seattle why he and a compan- ion flew a rudderless small plane across the Cascade Mountains af- ter striking high-tension wires near Yakima.
 The plane lost it's rudder and damaged its propeller when it struck the wires on a flight from Kennewick to Seattle. Greimes said he was "blinded by the sun" at the time
 A few moments later when Greimes flew low over the Yaki- ma field to drop a note telling his destination, Civil Aeronautics Administration officials said the planes course was so "erratic" that all crash equipment at the field was mobilized.
 Similar precautions were taken at Seattle's Boeing airport.
 But Greimes brought his crip- pied craft to a safe and unevent- full landing at Lake Air Park, a small private air strip east of Lake" Washington's Mercer Island.
 Greimes said he steered the plane by opening and closing the doors" during his cross-mountain trip.

Pres. Truman Is Cinch Nominee At Convention
Continued from Page One)

l Continued from Page One) veloped at convention headquar- ters that perhaps Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas might get the assignment.
 Rep. John w. Mccormack of Massachusetts arrived in Phila- delphia and told a reporter he would take the vice presidential nomination if it came his way. But he said he wasn't asking for it. James Roosevelt also came to town. And some of his warning California delegates promptly took steps to rebuke him for leading a drive against MT. Truman.
 The son of the late president said that probably the caucus he had called for Saturday night to try to promote Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for president, now was called off.
 Another anti-Truman man, Sen ator Olin D. Johnson of South Carolina, abandoned a plan to bring before the Democratic Ma tional Committee a resolution cal ling on the President to withdraw as a candidate in favor of Eisen- hover.
 Since Eisenhower has eliminated himself completely and finally as a presidential possibility, John ston said it would be "useless" to press the resolution.
 But, he said, "the South will not vote for Truman"
 And it looked as if there would be no chance to vote for Douglas, at least for president. At his Oregon home, the justice said again-that he isn't a presidential candidate and would make state ment later.
 John P. McEnery, vice chair man of the Democratic Central Committee of California, started the backfire against Roosevelt. He said he would ask California dele gate to demand at caucus Roos- evelt's withdrawal as National C Committeeman-Designate.
