Seven Die In
B36 Crash At
Spokane Field

SPOKANE, Wash. R-Seven of
the 10 men aboard were killed yes
terday in the flaming crash OF a
B36 bomber that fell seconds after
takeoff and burst into flames.
The plane hit the ground hard
just off the runway at Fairchild
Air Force Base, skidded through
small construction shed and
quickly burned amid towers of
dense smoke visible for miles.
The three survivors crawled,
stumbled or were thrown to safe
ty. A witness said it was "unbe-
lievable'" that anyone could have
escaped.
The extent of their injuries
couldn't be determined immediate
ly nor could they say exactly how
they got out alive. The cause of
the crash was mystery.
The names of the seven victims
were WlCIlHelu.
The survivors were Capt. Walter
M. Roller, the aircraft command
er; Maj. Virgil L. Westling, the
pilot; and LIST 1t. Leroy B. Ross,
the engineer. ALI have their homes

The five-million-dollar bomber
with six piston and four jet en-
gines was taking off just at sunset
on a routine training mission.
Seconds after it left the ground,
it veered to the right and crashed.
1t skidded several hundred feet,
went through the shed and came
to rest in flames next to a fence
near the flight line.

Dewey Leaves Hartman S Fate
Up To Decision OF N. Y. Courts

Republican court challenge Of Har-
riman's eligibility.
Dewey contended the Washington
Primary, in June 1852, was "a real
election of delegates to national
presidential convention"
'The rules are clear" he said.
mo man can be resident of
both the District of Columbia and
his home state. He can vote in one
or the other. He can be a resident
in one or the other-but not both. !"
Hartman, in his first comment
on the Dewey charge, asked:
'How silly can we get?"
He later told a news conference
that Dewey was trying to "steal"
the Nov. 2 election for Ives "by
default" and declared:
well, he won't get away with
it."
Hartman said he had voted in
the Washington primary and would
not have done so if there had been
any question that it would interrupt
his legal residence in New York
state.
He said sample ballots for the
primary specifically stated that
participation "does not prevent
YOUR voting in your home state in
November.
"The people of Washington have
no right to vote and there are no
election laws in the District Of Co
lumbia," he said.
Hartman, who was IN Washing
ton at the time as US. director of
mutual security, was q candidate
in the presidential preference PR
mary.
He won, defeating Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D.Tenn) and three other
candidates, but lost out at the presi-
dental nominating convention to
Adlai E. Stevenson.
One reason he voted, he said,
was to show his confidence to the
people in Washington that they
were not jeopardizing their No
vember election votes IN their
home states.
