In River From Jan. 81
Crash of BIS Bomber

PITTSBURGH, R-Police re-
covered from the Monongahela
River yesterday the body of a
crew member of an Air Force
BIS bomber that was ditched in
the river last Jan. 81.
The body was that of Capt. Jean
H. Ingham of South Charleston,
West Virginia.
The plane was enroute from
Nellis ALB, Las Vegas, New, to
Olmstead ALB, Harrisburg, Pa,
when the pilot had to ditch it
with a crew of six aboard.
The craft floated for few min
utes and then sank. Four of the
crew made it safely TO shore.
Capt. Ingham and S/Sgt. Walter
f. Soocey, 81, of Palmer, Alaska,
were missing. Soocey has never
been found. The plane has not
been recovered either.
The pilot later said that he had
to ditch the craft because it ran
out of fuel.

Publisher Charged
With Violation
OF Anti-NOise Law

BEAUMONT, Tex, R-NeWs-
paper Publisher William Prescott
Allen today pleaded innocent to a
charge that he violated city anti
noise ordinance and posted an ap-
peals bond after being fined $500.
I'm just saying let's get rid of
some of this corruption Allen
told the judge.
Allen was brought to city court
this morning on the miSdemeanor
complaint after he was arrested
Saturday because he insisted on
using his loud speaker-equipped
car on the downtown Beaumont
streets to tell about his anti-crime
crusade.
Allen, publisher of the Laredo,
Tex, Times and newspapers in
Juneau, Alaska, and Montrose,
Colo, also was arrested in nearby
Port Arthur on similar COM
plant. He posted $25 bond.
Allen commented in court that
after he finished his anti-crime
tour in Texas he planned to go to
Washington land clean up the in
come tax department" He said
hidden taxes are eating up most
of our income"
Allen was jailed Feb. 81 in Fort
Worth after he refused to tell a
grand jury where he got informa-
ton for series of editorials in
his Laredo Times blasting alleged
crime conditions in Fort Worth.
He was released the next day
after admitting in open court that
an anonymous letter was the
source for his editorials.

Pan Americans Proposed Trans-Polar
Flights From West Coast to London
Would Cut up to Is Hours Flying Time

NEW YORK, R-Pan American
World Anyways said today that it
and Trans World Anyways could
now operate profitable and time
saving passenger, mail and cargo
flights direct from the West Coast
over the polar route to Europe.
The two US. flag transatlantic
airlines have applied to the Civil
Aeronautics Board for permission
to fly the polar route.
Time savings of the direct SER
vice would amount to from to Is
hours, or from two-night trip to
a one-night trip, Pan American
said.
The savings in time would re-
suit, Pan American said, because
of the shorter distance of the polar
route and the elimination of the
lengthy stopovers in New York.
Pan American said polar ser
vice from the West Coast to Lon
don would represent a saving of
1,074 miles from Seattle; 1913
miles from Portland; $50 miles
from San Francisco and 432 miles
from Los Angeles.
Pan Americans analysis said
that in 1855 about $4,000 people
flew to Europe from the West
Coast, which has 10 percent of the
total us. population and is rapid
ly growing.
The statement said Scandina-
Wan, British, German and Canadi-
an airlines have rights to fly the
polar route between the West
Coast and Europe, and Scandina-
Wan Airlines has been operating
the service since 1854.
The company's exhibits said
that Pan American will invest
$8,50O,O00 in equipment and pro
motion of daily one-stop flights by
5000 mile range Douglas DC-7C
planes to Europe from Los Ange-
les, San Francisco, Portland, and
Seattle.
The refueling stop would prob
ably be Sandresrom, Greenland,
but some of the eastbound servic-
es would be nonstop, Pan Ameri-
can said.
The, flights, offering about one
third first class and about two
thirds tourist accommodations,
would terminate in London at
first but would be extended to
other European cities as business
grew, Pan American said.

emanation put out in space which
cannot be jammed." However, he
says everything possible is being
done to prevent jamming.
Coping With Ballistic Missiles
There were those who wondered
if DEW Line, equipped now to
detect manned planes, such as jet
bombers, could cope with ballistic
missiles fired over the polar area.
Briggs reply was that when
ballistic missiles become an i'm
mediate threat, We'll have to de-
sign to meet them" But he indi-
Gated that the geographical loca-
ton of DEW Line is also in the
right place for detecting a missile
attack.
The C-124 Globemasters are
probably the most impressive car
go carriers of the whole fantastic
transportation system for DEW

pears to be no reason why they
should fly.
Globemasters Proven
However, the Globemasters of
the 18th Air Force, assigned the
job of hauling heavy equipment,
have accumulated thousands of
flying hours shutting between
the United States and DEW Line.
The arctic cold is both a hin
drance and help. 1t imposes al
most intolerable preSSures on
crews who. must maintain and
operate aircraft. But the arctic
winter also congeals lake surfaces
to ice more than five feet thick
and blankets barrens with snow
which can be compacted into air.

areas closed to both sea and air
transport during the summer and
fall months.
