 The scene around the holo- caust was tragic one as air force men who lived in the buildings searched frantically for some trace of wives and children. Some cried out. The faces of others mirrored their fears in stony silence.
 Ut. R. E. Marshall, an army officer, told of being knocked downs. airs.
 Our baby was on the bed next to the wall and it was thrown to the floor" he re- lated. E"nhe baby wasn't hurt. My wife was knocked over, too"
 The Mlarshalls ran out fo find the buildings all around them in flames.
 Fred A. Sorri, a plumber working at the base, said the impact of the crash actually knocked four apartments righ out of the building" There are ibathtubs and plumbing fix lures resting half a block away"
 He told of finding a sewing machine 300 feet from where woman had been sewing on it.
 Eielson is one of Alaska's major air force bases. It has 12,O0O foot long runways. They were built to handle the nations biggest bombers. Planes as big as B36s have op- erated from it.

 The tragedy struck shortly after 12:30 p. m. while many children were home from school for ,he lunch hour. A thank God" was sounded by many parents that it didn't come five minutes later when even more children would have been in the buildings.
 The apartment house that took the full impact was de- molished. The dead triplets were in a front room of that building. The bursting gaso- line tanks of the plane spewed gasoline over five others and set infernos raging.
 Parts of the Wreckage were scat cred over a two block area
 The flames and confusion were increased, some witness es said, by bursting oil tanks scattered from the buildings.
 Miss Pamela Harris, 21, who lived at the base, said the oil tanks burst like bombs and she saw the flames engcf one group of school children. She said she never learned their fate.
 A total of 500 or 500 volun- teers were fighting the wildly spreading flames as soon as they could reach the scene. Fire units rushed over the more than 20 miles of ice-cov- cred highway from Ladd Air Force base, on the outskirts of

 The recree of provisional pre- sident Pedro Arambau spelled finish to the totalitarian poll itical machine which Juan de Peron organized six years ago to smother opposition and tight en his reign.
