for the fine showing they made
at the Fair. The individual girls
won so many ribbons that it is
impossible to list them all but we
would like to note that their
booth with its theme, "4-H Teach

awarded first prize and that they
have been asked to save the booth

Also of interest we think is the
fact that in the demonstration

win first and second respectively
and in the team demonstrations
Joan and Mary Ellen Blankenship
won first. Congratulations.

One of the slides showed a

off the ring finger of Mrs. Shep-

Craft Suddenly Pitches.
Starting to roll from about
two miles away, he seemed to
have a normal takeoff. although
his climb was slow, seemingly
indicating that he had had trou-
BILE rising from the water. When
about 300 feet from the water
and only flying about 200 yards
in front of the observers, and
at subsonie speed, the aircraft
seemed to pitch twice very yio-
lently, and then, accompanied
by equally violent flutter, the
winged airplane's nose rose
sharply.
Then it burst into flames and
Immediately broke into pieces,
which few in every direction.
The right wing, probably the
greatest piece, struck the water
in one place, the canopy in an
other. Seconds later there was
nothing to show but a great
black pail of smoke.
Crash boats, which had been
stationed at various points in
the harbor as a normal pre-
caution, sped to the scene of the
tragedy and quickly found Mr..
Richbourg, but he was dead min
utes afterwards. Capt. F. K.
Slason, of the Bureau of Aero
nauticS here, said the plane had
buffeted violently before it broke
up. It was indicated that after
the apparent structural failure,
a fuel line may have ruptured,
epouring fuel all over the sea-
splane, and making it an inescap-
able inferno. The pilot was
found still strapped in his seat.
81 One Plane Remains.
There is one other Convair
Seapiane-fighter of this class,
the "X" model. Capt. Slason
said that it will be carefully
checked over during an investi-
cation which may last as long
as the one involving the Inflated
British Comet jetliners which
have crashed. Convair also is
building two other seaplanes of
the Sea Dart type.
Meanwhile, divers are going
down on the crash site, in an
effort to retrieve the parts of
the broken plane for analysis.

Backed by Bedell Smith. .

The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee learned about it
in February, 1852. At the time
the State Department issued a
statement saying it was conf
dent that Mr.. Davies proposal
carried no implications of dis
loyalty"
Walter Bedell Smith, who re-
Gently stepped down as Under-
secretary of State, testified in
Mr.. Davies, behalf. Gen. Smith
said he thought Mr.. Davies pro-
posal could have been carried
out without endangering Amer
ica's security.
In his own testimony, Mr..
Davies denied recommending
that the CIA actually employ
Communists. What he said, he
testified, was that the CIA
might utilize" Communists,
making a distinction between the
two words.
Mr.. Davies was born in China
of Baptist missionary parents.
He entered the foreign service In
1882. Much of his diplomatic
work has been in the China area,
although he has worked else
where, including a 1945-47 tour
at the Embassy in Moscow.

Davies Returns Here
Tolearn Dulles Edict
On His Status as Risk

John Patton Davies, q contro-
versial career diplomat for a
decade. has been called home for
Secretary Of State Dulles de-
cisio1 on whether he is a security
risk,
The 46-year-oid Davies was re-
called from his post as counselor
at the United States Embassy in
Lima. Peru. Technically. State
Department officials called it
routine orders for reassign-
ment."
However. there would be no re-
assignment if Mr.. Dulles should
decide against him. On the
other hand, should the decision
be in his favor-as have eight
previous loyalty-security investi-
gations--he probably would be in
line for a more important job
than the one he had held at Lima
for a year and a half.
Mr.. Davies arrived in Wash
ington Tuesday and checked in
yesterday at the State Depart
ment. Attempts to reach him
for comment failed.
AHnx, Tck~ Dn~A NY~~~
There was some indication that
he would get a post within the
State Department here pending
a decision on his fate. Such an
assignment would not be on a
par with his tour on the policy
planning staff before assignment
in 1851 as a political officer in
Germany.
Mr.. Davies has lived amid con-
troversy for the last 10 of his
% years in the Foreign Service.
From 1949 through 1852 during
the Truman administration, Mr..
Davies was cleared seven times
by State Department loyalty-se-
curity boards and once by the
Governments top Loyalty Re-
view Board.
Soon after becoming secretary,
Mr.. Dulles ordered a re-exam-
ination of Mr.. Davies case.
That was in May, 1858, when
President Eisenhower's new loy-
alty-security program went into
effect, and when Mr.. Davies was
shifted from Germany to Lima.
Mr.. Dulles has publicly volun-
teered nothing on the re-exam-
ination since then. At news
conferences, however, he told
questioners a special hearing
board was interrogating Mr..
Davies.
Some Senators suggested that
Mr.. Davies be prosecuted for
perjury in connection with testi-
mony he gave before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
several years ago. However, the
Justice Department indicated
last February it had decided
there was insufficient evidence
to warrant grand jury consider
alton.
Patrick J. Hurley, ambassador
to China in 1944-45, has said Mr..
Davies and others were respon-
sible for "sabotaging" United
States policy toward Chang Kai-
shek. And Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin, has
said the Eisenhower administra-
ton "struck out" in not firing
Mr.. Davies. 8
Two facts in Mr.. Davies rec
ORD appeared to be the major
sources of his trouble:
!. He was deeply involved in
the dispute over what happened
after World War II which led
to the loss of China to the Com
munists, and whether United
States policy was at fault.
2. He proposed five years ago
to the Central Intelligence
Agency that it contact several
persons, later identified as Com
munists or extreme left-wingers,
and use them for its own pur-
poses.
