Navy Plane BIowsUr
Before Hundreds;
Pilot Is Killed
Star Writer Watches
Crosh Of SEQ Dart,
Fastest SeupIone
BY Horny Lever
S,or Sfoff CORRESPONDENT

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Nov. s.
I was an eyewitness late yes
terday to the fiery crash in the
'harbor here of Convair's twin
jet YF-2-Y-1 Sea-Dart, the
fastest seaplane ever built and
the only one which has ever
broken the sound barrier.
The pilot of the sleek aircraft,
who died two minutes after the
airplane blew UP and disinte-
grated before several hundred
observers. including his wife,
was Charles E. Richbourg, 81.
In July, 1852, he was selected as
the outstanding student in his
class when he was graduated
from the test pilot training
school at the Naval Air Test
Center. Patuxent, Md. He
cracked the sonic barrier in the
ill-fated plane on August 8, this
year.
Things happened so swiftly
that the Navy and Convair in
vestigators still are in doubt as
to what exactly occurred. Pre-
lliminary findings. however, in
dicate that structural failure of
the YF-2-Y-1, prototype Of the
Supersonic water-borne fighter,
may have caused the spectacular
accident in broad daylight.
Sheets of Fire Appear.
Pieces of the revolutionary
5hydro-ski fighter fell into the
harbor. accompanied by great
sheets Of fire. and it was only by
sheer luck that the wreckage did
not fall on the decks of numer-
Gus anchored naval vessels, or on
the crowd of observers on Com
vair's launching ramp.
Mrs. Richbourg, mother of two
small children, only last Satur-
day helped her husband cele-
brate his 31st birthday. The
sight of the burning, crumbling
plane disintegrating before her
left her dazed, and a friend led
her quickly to an automobile.
The accident marred the cur
rent demonstrations of the
Navy's newest aircraft, now TAX
ing place in various sections Of
California.
We were all standing on the
big ramp about 8 pm. (PST)
when Mr., Richbourg. test pilot
in the Convair-San Diego engi-
neering department. climbed into
the cockpit Of the airplane. fas-
tened his safety and shoulder
straps, and started to taxi, leav-

Dick Haynes Loses
Deportation Appeal
By the Assoeioted Press

Singer Dick Haynes today lost
his appeal to the Board Of Immi-
grafton Appeals from a deporta-
tion order.
An attorney for Mr.. Haynes
who now lives at Crystal Bay,
New, announced that.~a further
fight against the deportation
order will be made in the Fed
eral District Court here.
The 36-year-old singer was
ordered deported last March
after a hearing before an Inlmi-
grafton Service inquiry officer.
The officer held that the Ar
gentine- born Haynes had re-
turned to the United States il
legally after going to Hawaii in
1858 to visit Actress Rita Hay
worth, now his wife, who was
then making pictures in Hawaii.
Mr.. Haynes contended that
when he arranged to go to Ha-
waii the immigration officials
with whom he consulted should
have warned him that he would
be ineligible to return to this
continent.
Mr.. Haynes argued there had
been entrapment.
The Board of immigration
Appeals ruled, however. that
there had been no entrapment.

Grateful Passenger Decides
He'll Be in Church Sunday
Abdomen Suffers
Only Bump in Planes
Thrilling Lending

Next Sunday will sure find
me in church"
That was the first thought OF
one Of the survivors of today's
crash landing at National Air
port.
He is James E. Holt, AZ, OF
Huntsville, Ala. He was on his
way from New York to see his
wife and three children in
Huntsville. He is an ordnance
engineer with the Army.
Mr.. Holt said the first he
knew that there was trouble
came after the takeoff from
Washington when he heard q
peculiar noise"
After awhile, he said, the pilot
calmly told the 13 passengers
well, I might as we'll give you
the bad news" Mr.. Holt said
the pilot told them the nose
wheel is gone" and that they
could be in serious trouble, but
ne thought everything would be
all right.
Mr.. Holt said the passengers
were calm.
THE only thing I was able to
think Of" he said, was, I just
wish I was on the ground.
Mr.. Holt suffered a bump on
the head in being jolted against
the side of the plane at the land
ing. He was placed in an ambu-
lance where the plane stopped
but insisted he was "more scared
