Seventeen Die In B-29 Crash

RAPID CITY, s. D., P)-Sev-
 enteen men died late Friday when
 B-29 crashed and burned a few seconds after taking off from a 18th air force base near here.
 A board of officers opened an investigation Saturday in an at tempt to determine the cause of the crack-up, the first fatal crash since the strategic bomber base was reactivated in April, 1947.
 Captain Thomas Siegler, base public relations officer, said the huge, four-engine bomber had just cleared the field when one of the left engines caught fire. The engine was stopped and the plane, short of crucial take-off power, banked to the left and nosed into a wheat field a short distance from the end of the runway.
 Officers and men of the base. occupied by the 28th bomb wing, worked into the night attempting to identify the burned bodies, many charred nearly beyond rec ognition.
 A number of metal identifica- ton tags were found in the wreckage, but a check of dental records was being made before next of kin were notified.

"Santaville," small scale model
village which First Sergt. Howard
s. McGarr built on his sun porch
at Fort Myer, has proved so popular
that the sergeant laid plans today
for immediate expansion.
The little village was started by
the sergeant on November Z and
completed on Christmas eve. The
only drawback to the expansion
plans is that Santaville already fills
every nook and Granny of the 12-by-
16-foot porch.
The village includes snoW-covered
mountains and star-filled, midnight
blue skies on the walls of the porch.
Twenty-one hand-modeled build
ings, complete with lighting, make
up the village display including a
freight station, passenger station,
water towers, post office, church,
schoolhouse and all the necessary
buildings required In model town
community. They were constructed
from ordinary cheese boxes.
High lighting the many features
of the display is the 155 feet of toy
railroad tracks running around and
throughout "Santaville," on which
two passenger and three freight
trains are electrically operated by
seven control switches. The trains
in operation, run in opposite direc-
tions through hand-modeled tun-
nels, over bridge, streaking through
and around the village.

Parking Ban Imposed
On Defense Highway

| Strict enforcement of parking
bans along both sides of the De-
fense highway in Bladensburg, Md,
during rush hours and over week
ends and holidays was promised to-
day by the comnblnity's police
chief, Henry j.. Nebel.
The mo parking" regulation, gov
erning one of the principal Wash
ington- Annapolis highways, covers
a stretch of more than mile from
the Peace Cross to the north end
of the Sunnybrook subdivision,
Chief Nebel reported.
Although an ordinance to pro-
hibit parking along the highway
was adopted by the Bladensburg
Mayor and Town Council last No.
vember, the regulations did not take
effect until the mo parking" signs
were put up. This was completed
yesterday, Chief Nebel said.
Violators will face fines ranging
from 81 to $25, the police chief
warned. The rush-hour ban will
be enforced from 7 to $50 I'm. and
from 4 to 7 pm, Monday through
Friday. Parking also will be pro-
hibited all day on Saturdays, Sun
days and holidays.
Chief Nebel, who has not yet Of
ficially returned to duty after suf-
fering a gun shot wound on De-
cember 10, said two other town po-
licemen will be available to enforce
the new regulations. The police
chief suffered a broken leg when
his gun was discharged accidentally.
He expects to return to full-time
duty about February /, he said.
