Air Collision
Report Filed

A board of inquiry looking into
the July 10 fatal mid-air collision
of two Boiling Air Force Base
planes announced today that mo
evidence of negligence or mate
rial malfunction" has been
! found.
A spokesman for the board
said the Air Force considers
negligence to mean deliberate
neglect"
Two officers were killed when
their Cas- transport collided
with a BIS bomber over High
Point, near Chesapeake Bay in
Anne Arundel County, Md. Both
planes were on instrument
instruction missions.
In a preliminary statement
on the probe of the crash, the
board said air traffic congestion
in the area was not a factor.
The spokesman declared:
THE primary cause of the ac-
Icident appears to be that, al
though visibility at the time
was good, neither instructor
pilot observed the other plane
in time"
The findings and recommen-
Idations by the board will be re-
viewed by the commander and
his staff.
The victims of the crash were
Maj. Lud j. Milistefr, of Alex
andria, and 1st 1t. Francis D.

In his dissent, Judge Edgerton,
citing the extension of the firing

He referred to congressional

"The authorization to bring

reasonably be deemed necessary
in the best interests of national

In addition, the judge cited

But the President, in his ex.

that an employe should be

Even the most blase WASH

treasure of history. impressions
and atmosphere in an infor-
NAL biography of the "Capi-
tai Of the World" which is
enchantingly written.
Legends sometimes are more
interesting and often more
enduring than truth. Did you
know, for instance, that the
Octagon Building, in which
the treaty ending the War of
1912 was signed-the restored
building now occupied by the
American Institute of Archi-
tects--was considered haunted
during the Civil War? 1t was
then a hospital. and wounded
soldiers used to say they sew
the ghost of the lovesick girl
who flung herself down the
stairs and broke her neck in
the early years of the house.
Did you know, on the fac
