time pilots, came in for share OF
blame Wednesday in trial in
volving an Alaska airliner plane

November 30, 1947
Capt. James Evan Farris, pilot
of the Inflated craft, testified dur
ing a damage action in federal
court that a post-accident investi-
cation revealed a worm was in

Asked what kind of worm it
was, machine or mammal, Captain
Farris relied that it had legs
adding:
1T was a 'gremlin.'
Captain Farris also testified that
the hydraulic braking system in the
same plane had been imperative
over .Yakutat on previous flight,
the fluid having leaked out.
He said he returned to An

ERE GOAL REACHED,
FREE OF $50 YEARS
RULE BY ENGLAND
Bv CARTER L. DAVIDSON


DUBLIN, Ireland April 21.--tR-
The Irish, fully free of British rule
at last, face the future with a light
heart, a world full of friends and
money in the bank.
Many problems confront them,
but they face these unafraid. They
closed the books Monday on T8o
years of rule by a foreign power.
and they feel the future will be
what they make it. They intend to
make it good one. Individually
the people are poor, but they have
every hope they won't stay thai
way.
They still look darkly at six
counties of Ulster which have
chosen to stay in the British Com
monwealth. The Irish call this
their No. l proelem-to draw those
counties into the free Republic OF
Ireland President Sean T. O'Kelly
says he hopes to see that goal
within a generation.
But in Ulster, the press and poll
.icians called suggestions OF fedora
ization within the Republic "un-
thinkable.'
Economically, Free Ireland Is
sound. Her main business is agri-
culture, and with Britain shopping
for far more beef and other pro-
duce than the Irish can produce,
the farmer has an assured market.
Marshall Plan dollars are avail
able to this new republic along the
way.
Ireland also has an army, rich
in military tradition, such as few
nations of her size.
Prices are lower than in New
York. A two-pound loaf OF bread
costs sixpence 90 cents. A five
pound beef roast can be had fol
less than 50.

PILOT OF CRASHED
PLANE WA5FAC!NG
DISCHARGE, CLAIM
President Of Alaska Air.
lines Gives Testimony
in Damage Case

SEATTLE, April 214R-James
Wooten, president of Alaska Air
lines. testified yesterday the pilot
of the plane which killed nine per-
sons in a Seattle Tacoma airport
crash Nov. 80, 1947, had been
ordered discharged "a hours before
the takeoff.
He said he ordered the lines
chief pilot to give pilot James Evan
Farris. two weeks notice before he
left Anchorage on the Inflated
flight, but that because OF the
crash, the discharge order was not
carried out until six months later
to avoid possibility "of people
thinking it was the result OF the
accident"
THE reason l gave was that he
was a 'guardhouse' lawyer" Wooten
testified. He was not compatible
with the other pilots and l con-
sidered him a troublemaker.'
Earlier U. S. District Judge John
c. Bowen denied a motion for mis-
trial in the $4,000 damage action.
Tim Healy, defense counsel, made
the motion on the basis OF volun-
tarv statement from the witness
stand yesterday by Capt. James
Evan Farris, pilot OF the plane
which crashed and killed nine per-
sons at the Seattle-Tacoma air.
port Nov. 80, 1947.
Farris had testified before the
Jury that defense counsel w. K.
McKelvy had told him to get out
of town and stay out OF town..
McKelvy denied the charge.
Pilot Farris charged in federal
court today that his signature was
1orged on a manifest for the AL
aska Airlines flight which ended
in fatal injuries to nine persons
November 30, 1947.
The document that F1.ris chal-
lenged was photostatic copy OF
a manifest showing the plane to
have an allowable gross weight OF
63,00c; pounds, balanced slightly
nose heavy.
That is definitely forged docu-
ment," Farris, who was the pilot OF
the Inflated flight. declared when
he was shown the signature.
He said there was no nose
heaviness when the plane landed.
But he testified that his investiga-
lion of the planes tire tracks made
him believe the plane had been
heavier than the manifest showed
at the takeoff. He said the wide
tracks indicated a heavy load
He testified tracks showed tbs
nose wheel had been off the grounc
for all except the first 160 feet OF
the landing roll.
Farris made no allegation as tc
Who might have signed his name.
He wrote his signature six times
for comparison by the jurors with
the manifest handwriting.
Coincident with the damage trial
Farris was served with a summons
today in case in which the
government seeks $1,000 from him
in connection with his operation of
the plane A complaint in the suit
was filed by the U. S. Attorney
three weeks ago on behalf of the
Civil Aeronautics Administration.

A CHEERING NOTE

Timorous Americans meditating the hazards of life under the shadow of Russia armed with atomic bombs may derive wry comfort from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.'S announcement that it reason at this time, for recommending any increase in charges for life insurance For that matter we can reason why any life insur- ance company at any time should adjust its rates to allow for the possibility that someday American cities might be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people killed by atom blasts. That is catastrophe that we can only try to prevent, knowing that the loss in life and property would be irremediable if it were to Furthermore, it would probably bankrupt companies that had insured the lives of victims
 In these troubled days, life insurance companies as well as other businesses have to act on the assump tion that our worst fears will never be realized. Otherwise their present usefulness would be impaired by foolish futile attempts to protect their own inter- ests against the unforeseeabe dangers of the future
