Search In Rugged

PARIS Ri-A us. Air Force CAT
carrying Il airmen has vanished
on flight through stormy weather
from Rome to Lyon, France, and -
even as the search for it was under
way--an unidentified plane was re-
ported to have fallen into the Med

A workman in Morsiglia, on the
west coast of the. French island,
said he saw the two-engine plane
fly at low altitude and crash the

half Utfshore shortly after noon.
Assfew minutes later, the French

Three ships of the us. 9Th Fleet
were dispatched to the area.

at Mansion, England.
In the Alps. the search center

Nice. The throbbing of plane en-
ginest and a big explosion were
heard in two villages at the foot Of
the mountain last night.
The plane which crashed today
was first reported to be en- route
from Dion to Rome. Reports from
Morsiglia said, however, the plane
came from the southeast and was
heading westward.

The last report from the C47
Sunday was a message received by

he had fuel for only six hours,

Crosby yKids
Found After
All-Niglnt Hunt
Neighbor Boy On
Horseback Spots
Young s'Campers'

HOLLYWOOD B - A 1eighb0r
boy on horseback today found
bandleader Bob Crosby's three
young sons, whose disappearance
before supper yesterday touched
off an all-night search by 80 po-
licemen in rugged hills near their
home.
Thirteen-year old Tim Wellman,
son Of movie director William
Wellman, spotted Christopher, IL,
George Robert Jr., 10, and
Stephen, 8, in precipitous Barring
ton Canyon where he frequently
had trapped bobcats and coyotes.
The Crosby youngsters, who
vanished from home without a
word about pm, we're laden with
camping gear. They were un-
harmed.
Didn't Like Nurse
Christopher said he and his
brothers, all nephews of crooner
Bing Crosby, left home because
tive don't like our nurse"
The children's nurse is Miss
Teresa Flynn.
The boys admitted they saw po-
lice searching for them during the
night. They were found three miles
from their home.
Film director Wellman, who
spent much of the night with
Crosby looking for the boys insthe
wooded and brush-covered hills,
routed out Tim about 3 am. The
elder Wellman said his son knew
the terrain well and would prove a
valuable aid in the search.
Dogs Went Along
Tim was accompanied by his
three dogs.
Officers searched through the
night as Mrs. Crosby and her
daughter, Cathleen, Is, waited
anxiously by the telephone at
home. The youngest child, june
Malta, 5. went to bed at her usual
time.
When the boys didn't show up
for q roast beef dinner last&night.
the rest Of the family telephoned
neighbors and searched the house
and grounds. No boys. The young
sters' bicycles were in the garage.
But bedr0ll was missing. This
eased Mrs. Crosby's mind, she
said. She also recalled that the
last time she saw the boys they all
had on heavy hiking boots and
jackets.
First Trip Away
However, the youngsters never
had left home before and the par
ents cou.d give no explanation for
their action. AT $3.50 pm. Crosby
telephoned police.
As the hours wore on, many of
the searchers became more con-
cerned.
Then early today Crosby recalled
that three or four months ago he
had received a note threatening the
children. 1t was dropped in his
pocket as he left broadcasting
studio and read: Better watch
out for your children"
Crosby caught the car license
number of the man who gave him
the message. Police traced the
number to religious crank and
told Crosby to forget the incident.
He did until early today.

Press Conference Slated
BY Admiral This Afternoon
BY DENIS sNErcn

Rear Adm e. c. Towner, commander of the Naval
Base called press conference for D. M TODAY to dscus
the airport situation but only after The Citizen had aste
for an interview with him.
Towner it learned has been attemntino IN br;nc
pressure on the county commissioners to alter uans for
the improvement of Meacham Airport
The Key West citizen., 1954-10-25

Inns navy pressure has
taken two forms:
1. Towner has recon-
mended that the $130,000
Civil Aeronautics Authority
grant for Meacham i'm
provements be killed.
2. The Navy has threat
ened at least one county
commissioner with with
drawal sof units from the
Naval Air Station if the
planned improvements GO
through.
The dispute revolyes around the
county's plan to extend and pave
the east : west runway.
lnferferenes Claimed
The Navy says traffic from the
runway would interfere with Boca
Chica jet planes.
In the past, the Navy has made
no objections to the use Of the east
west runway, or to Meacham Field.
Towner's letter to the Chief Of
Naval Operations complains of the
east-west runway.
However, the Navy here seems
to feel that Meacham Airport
should be closed or moved.
Capt. c. L. Murphy, Chief Of
Staff to Towner, told this writer
the Field (Meacham) should be
moved
covniy's View
The county has told Towner that
the county can not change its air
port plans every time a new COM
mander takes over at Boca Chica
In the past, commanders at Bo-
ca Chica have not objected to
Meacham Airport.
For example:
In March. 1851, Capt. R. S. Ola
ckenbush, then Boca Chica com
mander, said:
I'VE have never had any occa-
sion to criticize or object to the
operation of the Key West airport
at Meacham. Meacham airport Is
like an old neighbor. II is not a
perfect situation from the Navy
point of view, but we should never
object to our old neighbor."
Some Confusion
Apparently that is not the Navy's
point Of view today.
That there is some confusion in
the Nays mind as to plans for
Macham can be seen in Navy COM
munications.
On Sept. IL, Capt. c. S. willard,
commander of Boca Chica, wrote
Towner that plans called for the
improvement Of the east west run.
way.
But in a letter Of Sept. "A, Town
er seemed surprised that the east
west runway was to be paved. He
wrote that he understood It was
the intention to lengthen the north
west southeast runway.
The. Navy-Monroe County dispute
over Meacham improvements now
is in the hands of the CAA airport
use panel in Washington.
Added cempliession
But further complicating the air
port situation is the fact that Ma
tional Airlines would like to switch
from Meacham to Boca Chica.

ed his disapproval Of civilian air.
