FOUR MEN ON FISHING TRIP
DROWN in HATTERAS INLET
,ASPLANE FALLS WEDNESDAY
Motor Failure Causes Loss Of Piper Tri-Pacer II
Take-OH Over Water At End Of Days Fishing,
$50 PM. Believed Overloaded With Blue Fish
Caught on North Side Of Inlet; Coast Guard
Receivers All Bodies Thursday.

A grim ending for four men was
toll during the famous run of blue
fish IN Dare County waters this
week, when four men lost their
lives in the crash of small plane
which took off from the north point
of beach on Hatteras Island at $50
pm. Wednesday, and shortly fell in
the inlet. At five am. Thursday
morning, after an all-night search,
the body of the first victim was
recovered by Coast Guardsmen
from nearby Hatteras Inlet Sta
ton, who found it floating in the
inlet.
The men We're James N. Collier,
owner and pilot of the plane, tri-
PAGER Piper, who flew to Hatteras
Inlet Wednesday morning, Russell
Linwood Wommack, Henry Mozin-
go and. Arthur B. Hartman. The
plane left Norfolk Municipal Air
port, and no flight plan was filed
at about s. o'clock Wednesday, for
a fishing trip to Hatteras.
Following the discovery of the
first body, another was found on
the beach one mile east of the in
let station, at 5:45 Thursday, and
a third body one mile east of the
station in the surf at about one
quarter mile north of the station,
at 7:10 am. The fourth was recov-
cred in the afternoon.
The tragedy is the greatest re-
corded in an airplane wreck in
Dare County.
According to accounts reaching
this newspaper, the men had fish
ed on the beach, and in addition to
a full load for the plane rating of
this type was believed to have an
additional weight of blue-fish. It
has been one of the most success
full runs of blue fish for anglers
in many years. When the plane
took OFF, the motor had probably
not warmed sufficiently for the
hard pull out of the sand, and mo-
mentum slowed up while making a
turn in the. light wind.
Mr.. Hartman, lived on R. F. D.
Norfolk, and was an auditor for
Westover Homes development; he
leaves a wife and one child; Mr..
Wommack was an auditor, and
brother-in-law of Mr.. Hartman.

Republican Unit
Meets TO Map
So Campaign
By the Associated Press

The executive committee of the
Republican National Committee
gathered today to search for a
key to victory in next years con-
gressional and gubernatorial
elections.
One of the main questions be-
fore the group was why the
party lost votes in the Midwest
and far West in 1856 and failed
to regain control of Congress, de-
spite a sweeping second-term
victory for President Eisenhower
The executive committee was
expected to start plotting STRAIT
Iegy for recapturing Congress by
concentrating on 81 of the ABS
House districts that were won
last fall by margins of 5 per cent
or less of the two-party vote
81 by Democrats and 80 by Re-
publicans.
Urges Early Start
National Chairman Meade Al
corn called the private session of
the group to begin right now to
work for the election of a Repub-
lican Congress as well as Repub-
lican Governors. More than 90

copied invitations to the meeting
7 Two Governors are being
elected this year. in New Jersey
and Virginia. Thirty-two Sena-
tors, 435 House members and 33
Governors will be up for re-
election in 1858.
The Senate now is composed
lof 40 Democrats and Al Repub-
ilicans. The House has 233 DEM
ocrats and 200 Republicans. with
a vacancy in each party, there
are 30 Democratic and 10 Re-
publican Governors.
Lauds Eisenhower Policies
Mr.. Alcorn said the party al
ready has a good program-the
Eisenhower program. With this,
plus a strong organization and
attractive" candidates. the party
can win in 1858, he said, adding:
Il believe the voters realize
they should give President Essen
hover Republican Congress in
SO to work in harmony with him
and carry out his policies.

President Eisenhower arranged
to meet with his cabinet at the
White House this afternoon as
he cleared his schedule for the
latter part of the week when he
hopes to be in Florida for re-
Taxation and exercise in warm

The cabinet meeting, usually
held on Friday mornings, was
set for 2::3O pm. today.
The President also scheduled a

Prime Minister Macmillan.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty told neWsmen
this morning, however, that he
could not yet announce any def
