action came too late, however.
Airline pilots said the tower
should have broadcast to the DC-4
pilots the entire conversation, SO
that they would have been in
formed of their situation and
would have been in a position to
exercise their own judgment. AS
it was. the conversation to the
approaching P-38 was on a mill
tary wave length not being re-
ceived by the airliner.
Pilots View Blocked.
1t would have been impossible
for either pilot in the airliner to
see the fighter coming down on
them from behind and their only
knowledge of the danger came a
few seconds before the collision.
The P-38 provides poor visibil-
ity forward and down. Capt. Rios
did not see anything in his path
until an instant before the crash
his friends said, and did not know
that the collision had cost many
lives until informed by a friend
more than "a hours after the acci-
dent. ...---
Meanwhile, Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer expressed his con-
fidence in the safety of air trans
portation as he left for Miami
Fla, aboard an Eastern Air Line
Constellation.
The scheduled airlines are do
ing a magnificent job" the Sec
retary said, "and I am glad OF
the opportunity to express my
confidence in them.
Tower Men Praised.
'The public doesn't always ap-
preciate the thought and atten-
ton which is given to passenger
traffic, including the fine job
which is done by pilots.
Il want to say word also In
favor Of the boys in the airport
control towers who are rarely
mentioned, never seen and who
are protecting not only the pilots
in the planes but thousands OF
passengers. These men sit up in
the towers and talk the planes
down. Every pilot and every pas
senger owes them a great debt.
The Secretary is en- route to
Florida on his final tour. of in
spection Of economic conditions
in the country on the basis OF
which he will make a report te

Mr.. Rented has appointeda six

It was believed, however, that
no serious consideration was given

too far from Washington and any
passenger who bought ticket to

Polish Minister
Asks Faith In
Home Science

WARSAW, Poland = (AP) =
Hilary Mine, president of the
economic committee of the council
of ministers, says Polish SCENT
lists need more faith in what a
Socialist country can do and less
in the western world.
He told a national conference of
industrial chiefs called to get new
ideas for economies in production
that Polish scientists should stop
worshipping the scientific achieve
ments of the western world.
Mine hailed what he said were
the achievements of Soviet science.
He also credited Poles with find
ing the process for liquid air; for
discovery of radium, vitamins, and
televisiOn.
Mine said it was regretable that
these Poles gave the world their
discoveries through work in fore
ign countries.

of Milford fans as an outstanding
member of Milford Giants teams,
is the A. C.s first string receiver,
which should insure good catching.
Assisting Cunning, as the occasion
demands, are Max Fineman and
Chick Wyatt, two other receivers.
Despite fact that Bill Adkins and
Sonny Kemp, two regular hurlers
last season, may not be available
until after close of the current
school term, the present Milford
team shapes up pretty we'll on the
mound, with Horace Wiley, veter-
an highlander and four new
comers," John Mumford, Elmer
Wilson, Jiggs Greenley and Bill
Deshield, available. Mumford is a
19-year-old righthanded Dover
schoolboy recently awarded an
athletic scholarship at the Univer-
sity of Alabama. Wilson, a south
paw, has been the pitching main
stay of Houston teams the past
three years. Greenley, well-knowu
to local baseball fans, is versa
tile performer who can play al
most any position as well as take
his regular turn on the mound; he
has been standout with Glendale
Sussex League teams of the past
two seasons. Deshield, another
Highlander, is a newcomer, having
moved here from Salisbury, where
/ he has PLAYED considerable base
ball in previous seasons.
At this writing, first base re-
mains somewhat of question
mark with Greenley as the likely
choice to start at first in Sunday:
opener. Jack Swain and Les
Wheelock have been used some al
that position, while Dick Lynch
is also another possibility for tria
at the initial sack.
