Four Killed as
 Bomber Crashes Between Houses

DENVER, R-Four men were killed and four persons, including woman, were injured today when twin-engine bomber crashed and exploded between two houses south of Lowry Air Force Base.
 The BPS, enroute from Me Chord Air Force Base, Tacoma, Wash, to Panama City, Fla, ap- parently lost power on take off. The pilot radioed for an emer- gency landing shortly after leav- ing the field, where the plane had stopped to refuel.
 The faltering plane narrowly missed a mother and her two small children. Parts of the shat tered craft smashed info a parked car near the houses.
 The mother, Mrs. William Mor- gan, was in the frontl yard of her residence sprinking the lawn. q heard something banging and banging and I knew it was going to hit close" she told a reporter
 Two of her children, ages 2 and II, were playing nearby. I told Gwenn to grab Billie and run, ," she said. q ran for the house to get the other two. Just as I got to the door the plane hit right back of the house and came bouncing up next to it. I saw woman come staggering out. She col iapsed under d tree.
 Lowry base hospital said one of the four injured was in critical condition. The three others were fair. They included a member of the Women's Air Force.

Negro Voters Could Assure Republican Win

WASHINGTON, .R-A meeting of the National Citizens for Eisen- hover Committee was told today that if only 5 or 10 percent of Ne gro voters could be persuaded to switch their voting allegiance from Democratic to Republican, President Eisenhower and a Re publican Congress would almost certainly be elected under present circumstances. 7"

Water Skier Swept To His Death Over PIP . Foot Waterfall

 Still missing today was the body of 32-year-old Melvin w. Hubert of Boise, Idaho.
 Witnesses said Hubert lost his balance and fell into the water of a lagoon about 1000 yards up- stream from the falls, one of the highest cataracts in the west. The boat which had been towing him and another craft made desperate, dangerous last-minute passes in an attempt to rescue him almost at the brink

Alaska Given 5O-5O Chance to Get In
 Federal Highway Aid Program

aska'S immense size works against its success. Recognizing this, Neu- berger originally proposed that only 50 percent of Alaska be con sidered for allocation purposes.
 When it was noted that even this would weight the allocation in Alaska's favor at the expense of other states, Neuberger pared his figure to 40 percent and later to one-third before the amend ment was accepted.
 Alaska's present road program is financed by direct congressional appropriation.
 Sen. Kerr D-Okla) has referred to the possibility of a formula based on 100000 square miles, which would be slightly more than half that involved in the one-third proposal.
 Bartlett said acceptance of any thing less than one-third would be devastating" to Alaska's road program and would be less desir- able than present direct appro- priations.
 Neuberger said today he con siders it "extremely important to the national defense" that the amendment be held in conference.
 He cited figures showing that Alaska now has only 3,700 miles of highway compared with 25,500 miles in Nevada, which is both and has less population than the territory. Even Delaware, he said, has 3,842 miles of high way.
 Pointing to Alaska's proximity to Russian territory, Neuberger said it is well known that Russia is carrying on an extensive high way and railroad construction program in Siberia.
 He said he felt 1t was "ridlcu- lous" not to include Alaska within the program while both Hawaii and Puerto Rico are covered.
 Under the present method of financing Alaska's roads by direct appropriation, the territory has received from $4 million in 1948 to S2715 million in 1851. The ad- request for this year is $7,800,000.

Northwest Rivers On Rampage in Thaw Weather

PORTLAND, 'R-The mighty Columbia River, fed by melting snows, surged higher OR its banks today and threatened dikes in a populous southwestern Washing ton area.
 The danger was eased some what by forecasts of cooler wealth CT inland. This would slow the snow melt that sent the river to 9.7 feet above flood stage in the Vancouver, Wash, and yesterday.
 The upper Snake River in southeastern Idaho has spread over 1000 acres of farmland. And more probably will be covered when the stream crests Saturday.
 North of Vancouver, Wash, the water was pouring over a crum- bled dike into a farm area. There were no fatalities as scattered families had been evacuated.
 A little further north, at Ka- lama, the city council declared a state of flood emergency and called for volunteers to help sand bag dikes.
 At Kelso, the seeping water had caused five breaks in the towns sewage lines.

WASHINGTON, tR-Inclusion of Alaska in the Federal Highway Aid Program was considered to- day to have a 50-50 chance to sur vive House-Senate conferences on the big highway bill.
 This was the assessment given by Delegate Bartlett O-Alaska) after conferring with members who will participate in the confer ence.
 The territory's inclusion within the program was approved for the first time late Tuesday when the Senate accepted an amendment by Sen. Neuberger D-Ore). No pro vision for Alaska is made in the House version of the bill.
 As adopted by the Senate, Neu- berger's amendment would give Alaska $11,456,000 in federal mon ey in the year beginning July 1, 1857. To this, it would have to add $1, 146,000 to meet a 10 percent matching requirement. The terri tory's federal allocation would grow as it's population increased.

Eskimo Woman From Pt. Hope DrOWns in States

SEATTLE, R-A young Alaska woman drowned in Puget Sound last night despite efforts of Se- attle housewife to save her.
 Mrs. Caroline Long, 23, of Point Hope, Alaska, an Eskimo patient at the Laurel Beach Sanitorium, died in the chilly water.
 Mrs. Alison Beck, 35. of Seattle, said she was sitting in her beach home about 9 pm. when she heard Women's voices on the beach.
 q went outside and saw two Women," she said. When they saw me, one of them stumbled over a drift log and fell into the water. The other walked on up the beach.
 Mrs. Beck said she walked fully clothed into the water and tried to pull the woman to safety, but was unable to. Mrs. Longs body was recovered later.
 A physician said the second woman, Miss Rosa Sebwenna, g, of King Island, also patient, was too hysterical to talk about the incident.
 The women, both Eskimos, were away from the Sanatorium with out permission, police said.
 Mrs. Long is survived by her husband John.

time when many apartment
jewellers turn their thoughts TO
preparing window gardens to
brighten up the interior of their
living quarters during the win
ter months.
If you are considering this
problem. here are a few hints
which might help:
House plants are sensitive to
light, heat, humidity. water and
gas Best results usually are OBJ
tanned. so far as light is con-
cerned, if you can place your
plants in an east window. There
they will get good light without
the excessive temperature they
might receive in a south win
dow. West windows are gener-
ally less favorable to plant
growth than east or south.
Too much heat is harmful to
house plants. They grow best
when the temperature is kept
under 70 degrees, and when hui
midity is adequate. Although
usually not necessary in this
area, it is helpful to spray
smooth-leaved plants now and
then when humidity is low.
