Incident Shows Need of Field Repair

Last week Nomites sat back and read about the big practice aerts being staged throughout the United States and in population centers of Alaska.
 This area is outside the perimeter of defense and has no roads for evacuation As far the military goes the population has been told it will be evacuated in case of trouble since they hold it cannot be defended Just who is foolng whom we do not know We do know that the arfeld here has been neglected to the point where large aircraft cannot land safely. Washington officials of the Civil Aeronautcs Association have stated there funds to repair the field not even for temporary repairs Notes are not worried about invasion or evacuation at this time.
 However, they feel keenly and see clearly the need for the field in any kind of emergency when time is crucial The shooting down of the Navy plane at Gambell last Wednesday is token example of any thing might happen in this area and those responsible for the neglect of the field might have accusing finger pointed their way should international emergency arise
 There many kinds of economy, wise and un- wise we know that fund, military or otherwise should be utilized to keep this field in operation for all kinds of aircraft and meet the emergencies when they arise.

THE STATES DIG DEEPER

This is a legislative year for 46 of the 48 states Kentucky and Virginia being the only exceptions In 2 of those states the Tax Foundation reports the gov boosts n existing taxes In all parts of the country the state leves going up property corporations ind vidual incomes gasoline, and so down the list
 In the fiscal year which will end this coming June, the states will collect over SIP 000 900 000-ore than double the 1946 figure The total for the next fiscal year will be substantially greater.
 These are matters of fact And they add up to one thng-that must demand economy on the local as we'll as in Washington, DC. The moderate tax reduc- tons made by the federal government last year are being largely offset by mushrooning local taxes

Truman Supports Eisenhower for
 Big Four Meeting

SAN FRANCISCO, R-After five days of speeches, the 60 dele gations at the U.N.'s 10th ami versary session Saturday took a day off for private business and sightseeing. All that remained was the closing ceremony yester- day afternoon at which it was hoped, by some at least, that a Declaration of San Francisco" would emerge as the final act.
 The round of formal speeches wound up Friday night with an address by former President liar ry s. Truman, who indicated he warmly supported President Els enhower's decision to take part in talks with Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin, British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden and French Premier Edgar Faure.
 1T welcome the signs in the world today that greater under standing and agreement may be reached among the great powers, Truman said. II welcome the pro- posals for further conferences and negotiations. It may not be posSi- ble to make sudden or vast strides in these conferences, but agree ment even in some things will be gain"
 Truman spoke to capacity crowd in San FranciSco's Opera House. Both Dulles and Molotov were among those present, even though the Russians had origin ally protested mildly to JUN. Sec retary Dag Hammarskjold against having Truman speak.
 A reported Soviet plan to boy colt the meeting or lure other del egates away by a diplomatic din ner failed to materialize. Molotov had his dinner, but arranged ii early so his guests could get to the meeting in time to hear the for mer president.
 India's V. K. Krishna Menon, special envoy of Prime Minister Nehru, was the last of the 50 del egates to speak. He called upon the East and West to "join hands together in working for lasting peace for the sake of humanity"

KODIAK, R-The Russian bull lets which wounded three US. Navy fliers Wednesday noon and forced their patrol bomber to land in flames on a Bering Island came without warning.
 Four of the II men aboard, all of whom escaped with varying but minor burns and wounds, re- turned to Kodiak Friday and It. Richard H. Fischer of Pittsburgh reported there was no opportunity to avoid or return the gunfire.
 He said the bullets ripped thru the left wing and fuselage, fin turing three men" just as the gunner, Aviation Ordnance man Donald E. Sonnek of Minnesota Lake, Minn., reported sighting an airplane.
 The bullets ripped a hole in the wing and set it afire; others tore chunks out of the fuselage and struck three men or whizzed past the heads of the others.
 No one panicked," Fischer said in an interview, and the plane veered sharply east into cloud, beginning an immediate descent from it's 8,O0O-foot level.
 The Russian Mig, so identified by Sonnek, made only one pass and disappeared.
 The left engine stopped and Fischer feathered the prop, start ing the long pull toward St. Law renee Island, 40 miles to the northeast. Flames ate steadily at the wing, Fischer said. The avia- ton ordance man Martin E. Berg who had been struck by bullets on the left side of his back, kept reporting on it's condition despite his wound.
 First aid was given to Berg and the other two men who had been hit. They were Ensign David G. Assard of Terryville, Conn, hit on the left hand, and Aviation Technician Edward Benko, Chi cago, hit on the left arm.
 Meanwhile, the planes position and condition were radioed to the home base at Kodiak and the plane was brought in for land- ing on tundra at St. Lawrence Island.
 "Our bomb bay tank exploded halfway thru our landing" said It. Fischer.
 ''The flames were high and the men were burned on their faces and hands as they escaped thru

emergency exits. One man broke an ankle diving out of the plane He thought it was going to ex- plode."
 Natives from the village of Gambell who had seen the burn ing plane coming down, met the men on the beach, taking the en- tire crew to Gambell.
 An Air Rescue Service plane from Ladd AFB was waiting at Gambell and after treatment was given the burned and wounded it flew the II men to Fairbanks.
 Fischer and the other three who were not injured returned to Ko- diak.
 Fischer said he had only the highest praise for his crew mem bers.
 "There was no panic. No one worried. It was a perfectly func- tioning crew under the worst pos sible conditions"
 He lost no blood in the fracas but he left a bit of his heart back on St. Lawrence Island. That's where he watched the plane he loved burn to a tumble of wreck age.
 "Only the bow, tail and two wing tips were left" he said. il sure hate to see a plane burn. It hurts"
 Three other men escaped with out wounds or burns. They were Ut. JG) David M Lockhard, Ala meda, Calif.; It. JG George T. Sloan, Oakland, Calif.; and Avia-, ton Technician John Francis Rump, Maiden, Mass.
 In addition to the wounded, treatment for other injuries are being given at Fairbanks to these crewmen:
 Aviation Machinist Mate Thad deus Maziarz, Oakland, Calif.; Chief Aviation Electronics Tech nician Elmer R. Janke, Alameda, Calif.; Airman Technician Charles w. Shields, Clawson, Mich; and Sonnek.
 US. officials in Washington said the attack occurred over interaa- tional waters between Alaska and Siberia. The plane was a Navy P-2V5 Neptune.
 Although the shooting occurred Wednesday, announcement of the Russian attack was delayed two days while President Eisenhower conferred by telephone with State and Defense Dept. officials.
