Press Spokesman
Insist That Relief
Rolls Be Open Here

Representative OF TOUR WASH.
ington daily newspapers today
strongly asserted their position
that public assistance rolls here
should be open to the public.
The executives stated their
view before the Citizens Advi-
sorry Council which recently rec
commended in principle passage
of legislation that would leave
with the District Commissioners
the discretion of opening or
closing the rolls.
In the course of the discussion.
Council Chairman Robert v.
Fleming pointed out that the
Welfare Department within the
last few days submitted for the
Commissioners consideration an
other bill. almost identical to
the one that the department
backed last year. that would
make mandatory the closing of
relief rolls.
Cites Lack Of Abuses.
It was the latter proposal that
gave the newSpapermen great
est concern.
B. M. McKelway, editor of The
Star, declared that the public
has a right to know how public
funds are being spent. On the
question of possible abuses that
might result from publicising the
rolls-a principal fear of well
fare authoritieS-Mr. McKelway
declared that no newspaper, has
abused that privilege in States
where rolls are public.
Nor, he said, has he heard of
an instance where a relief recipi-
ent has been subjected to en-
barrassment as a result of pub
licity. Mr.. McKelway said that
he favorS the measure veSting
discretion with the Commission
erS.
John T. O'Rourke, editor of
the Daily News. joined in the
view that "at the very least" dis
cretion in the matter of dis
closure of the rolls should lie
with the city heads.
Legislative Move Urged.
James Russell Virgins, man
aging editor of the Washington
Post, fatty came out for a leg
islative provision to open the
rolls, which have been kept con-
fidential as a matter of welfare
department policy for years.
Mr.. Virgins said, however.
that as an alternative he would
favor giving the Commissioners
discretion in the matter.
Frank Waldrop, executive edi-
tor of the Times-Herald, said he
was opposed to the latter provi-
sion. He said he favored instead
writing into law a non-confiden-
TALLY provision.
This, Mr.. Waldrop said, would
be sound and in the interests of
good public policy"
Seek Qualification Of Action.
The newspaper officials were
seeking Qualification of the adj
visory groups action on the pub
lie assistance question last month.
It developed that the council
had approved in principle the
measure passed by the Senate
last year leaving the relief-roll
publicity question to the discre-
ton of the commissioners.
Welfare officials, however, were
under the impression that the
council was voting in favor of
their proposed legislation that
would require the rolls to be kept
confidential. ...
The council emphasized today
that it was the Senate-passed
measure that they had approved.

Those Transport Crashes
BY w. H. Shipper

It was a nasty night of snow,
sleet and rain as the CHA
Globemaster angled in on the
coast of Alaska. But the pilots
could neither see nor hear the
most ominous weather factor of
ala cross wind of gale force.
All IL men in the crew knew
their huge transport was pick
ing up ice as it bucked the strong
turbulence of the air. The pilots
and radio operators were aware
also that static had dimmed the
on-course signals thrown up
from radio range stations spotted
at infrequent intervals in this
region.
The navigator, however, was
doing all right. He had brought
them in on the mainland at the
proper point, Middleton Island.
after crossing a stretch of the
Gulf of Alaska notorious for its
sudden StormS-an area trimmed
on the north by glacial peaks.
At 9:47 pm. that November
%, 1852 a radio operator was
able to report they were over
Middleton at 5000 feet. about
so miles off the coast, and some
155 miles southeast of their des-
tination, Elmendorf Air Force
Base at Anchorage.
FOrty-One Passengers.
They then were six hours. II
minutes and more than 1000
miles out of McChord ALB at
Takoma, Washington. their point
of departure. Passengers on the
Military Air Transport Service
plane were Al soldiers and air
men assigned to duty in the
territory.
What happened after the ill
fated aircraft passed over Mid
dleton was reconstructed by eX-
perts summoned before the
House Armed Services Commit
tee to explain the recent start
ling series of military transport
crashes in Alaska and the North
west.
When last heard from, the
aircraft was on normal instru-
ment approach, but communica-
tions were deteriorating. There
seems no doubt that the snow
was plotting out radio signals as
we'll as visual contact with the
ground.
On the range leg about 100
miles ahead of the CHA was a
fan marker at Whittier. This
flashes a code signal on the in

strument panels Of aircraft pass
ing directly over the station, tell
ing pilots they are 46 miles out
of Elmendorf. But if plane is
off course, as this one presum-
ably was, it would receive no
help from a fan marker.
Static Is Problem.
Range legs are marked in
Alaska by low-frequency trans
mitters subject to precipitation
static. These markers are being
replaced on transcontinental
runs in the United States with
-high-frequency units which
cut through the static.
Pilots say that heavy snow has
a continuous dampening effect
on on-course signals, more seri-
Gus even than the intermittent
crackle and pop of thunder
storms.
The airmen on this Inflated
Globemaster apparently lost their
range signals and were unable
to find a check point where two
range legs intersected. The pilot
was only fairly we'll acquainted
with the region, although he had
1853 hours of flight time, 418
of them in C-124S.
He had made two previous trips
over the route. One of them, on
October 4. was a check flight.
The eo-pilot had flown the route
four times. and had been checked
out on it a fortnight previously.
Military at Disadvantage.
Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey, chief
of AT operations, told the House
members that military pilots.
unlike airmen on regular COM
mercial runs, rarely have the OPP
portunity to become thoroughly
familiar with the terrain. navi-
gational aids and weather va
carries of any particular route.
Pilots on duty with outfits like
the Military Air Transport Serv-
ice may be flying over deserts and
oceans one day, and over Arctic
regions the next Gen HOVt
S. Vandenberg, chief of staff,
pointed out they must become
proficient under all conditions
with or without navigational
aids.
= The two men responsible for
the safety of this CHA, how
ever, were contending with an
unknown factor under the most
adverse circumstances. They
had received a forecast of a

Those Transport Crashes
Cross Wind Blew Twice as Hard as Predicted
And NovigotionoI Aids Gave No Warning

30-knot wind at $50 degrees over
Middleton Island.
The wind was out of the South,
as predicted. But it was blowing
at gale force of more than 80
knots. directly onto coastal peaks
hidden like fangS in the overcast
and towering up to $500 feet
above the alrplane.
All So Killed.
The airmen apparently were
attempting to plot a dead-reck-
oning course on the basis of a 30
knot cross wind when their dou-
ble-deck transport plunged into
Surprise Glacier on the rugged
coastal range. All So on board
were lost.
They mad drifted to the right
Of their course" 1t. Col. N. w.
Sanders told the House members.
He had been sent to Alaska to in
vestigate the accident and the
navigational facilities
"They were unable to main
tain course from Middleton to
Elmendorf, partly because of the
wind and partly from turbulence
and the difficulty of controlling
the aircraft.
1T was a navigational error
coupled with bad weather and a
minimum of en- route naviga-
tional facilities"
The witness added under
questioning that there is a Sec
ton Of the mountainous coast
where precipitatione static can
make 1t. difficult or virtually i'm
possible for pilots to follow the
range signals.
Range Station Needed.
The Air Force, it was said, is
asking the Civil AeronSutics Ad-
ministration to install another
range station and homing unit
in the area. These are among
Is changes or additions sought
in the Alaskan system as a re-
suit of the accidents late last
year.
The cost of installing and
maintaining airway markers is
extremely high in Alaska, how
ever. Congress itself. while in
quiring into accidents, has con-
sistently cut budget requests for
additional airway equipment
since the end of the war.
This is the third of five ar
ticles analyzing the causes of
a recent startling series of mil
itary air transport crashes:

Weeks Ends Silence
In FOTecastingSwi
OF Ak on DeadWood

Commerce Department en-
ployes today were trying to esti-
mate the security Of their jobs
in the light of Secretary Sin
clair Weeks first public speech,
and some were getting uneasy
in the process.
MIR. Weeks, making a hard
hitting address last night in Bos-
ton. said the mess" in Wash
ington "is worse than the pub
lie thought"
He forecast "Shrill cries &.
as the ak is swung on deadwood
and poison oak"
It was the first statement Mr..
Weeks has made that Commerce
employees might take as giving
some clue to the future. Some
new Cabinet officials. on enter
ing their jobs, issued statements
to employees. They ranged from
greetings to the staff to warnings
that a full days work was ex-
pected for q days pay. Mr..
Weeks kept silent until last
night.
Balanced Budget q Must.
Mr.. Weeks address was made
at the annual Lincoln Day din
ner Of the Republican Middle
sex Club. He asserted a balanced
budget is a must" When tax
reductions can be made, he said,
ordinary people will have more
money left to spend on them
selves or to save.
THE time will come" he
forecast, when it will be safe
for children to kiss their father
goodnight on income tax day
and not have their little heads
snapped of by their harassed
parent"
Mr.. Weeks said the November
election gave us a clear man
date to slam on the brakes and
move forward in a different di-
rection
He said the campaign promise
to "clean up the mess" shall be
carried out.
The new Administration has
the backbone to do the job" he
said. But we do not yet have
enough new brooms."
Mr.. Weeks said some Govern
ment functions will be Cancelled
and some folk will feel hurt"
as the ak is swung.
But millions of taxpayers al
ready are hurt by the rising cost
of Government" he continued.
Their relief is paramount.
Team Drawing Best.
''Wise economy and increased
efficiency in Government require
all the brains and CUTS the Gov
eminent can attract to public
service at every level. These
attributes are being made avail
able. Many of the best in poll
tics. agriculture, labor, education,
military and other fields are
joining the Eisenhower team OF
supporting it.
But already some pundits and
tub-thumpers are Sneering be-
cause the President has recalled
to public service the 20-year
forgotten man'-the business
man.
They complain because the
new Government no longer gives
high priority to the theories of
foreign socialists or to the no.
tons of local egg-heads.
This is understandable. A
whole generation has been taught
that knowledge of how to meet
a payroll is the sign of a low
10; that honest profit is a
wicked motive, and that nothing
in business is needed by Govern
ment except its excess profits
and corporate income taxes"
