FotoI Planes Pilot Tells Own Story:
Two Engines Out, One Foltering

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 10
(AP).-The pilot Of the ILL.,
fated Imperial Airlines Con-
stellation said today two Of the
crafts four engines were out,
q third was losing power and
the nose wheel was sluggish in
going down when he pulled
away from an attempted emer-
gency landing at Richmond's
Byrd Field.
Moments later the plane
crashed in q woodland less than
two miles from the runway
Wednesday night. Seventy -four
Army recruits and inductees
and three crew members died
in the burning airplane.
Ronald H. Conway, 20, of
West Hollywood, Fla, said the
impact of the crash into the
wooded area didn't seem hard
" anything to me. But then
] realized the whole airplane
was on fire"
Mr.. Conway and his flight
engineer, william Poythress.
81, Of Miami, were the only
survivors.
After the two got out Of the
flaming crash "all we could do
was stand there and watch it
burn" Mr.. Conway told news
men in his first public state
ment since the tragedy.
Baltimore Takeoff Normal
At his side was his brunette
wife, Beverly. Mr.. Conway,
with a blackened left eye, held
his wife's hand as he told of
the flight from Baltimore's
Friendship Airport until it
plunged to earth. He sat dressed
in blue-striped pajamas in a
wheel chair.
He said the takeoff from
Baltimore was normal in good
weather. He cruised at an alti-
tude of 4,500 feet. North of
Richmond, he said, Mr.. Poy--
thress reported he had fuel
warning lights on Nos. 8 and
4 engines, indicating mechani-
naI rliFF;n,,Ikioc
Mr.. Poythress Immediately
tried to correct the situation,
aided by co-Pilot James Green
lee Of Miami.
They tried everything they
knew to get the engines going"
Mr.. Conway said. II told them
to try to get one going at a
time"
E. j. Averman, jr., owner of
the plane, listened as Mr.. Con-
way described the flight.
Told to Shut Down Engine
Mr.. Conway said Mr.. Green
lee started flying the plane
after the flight engineer re-
ported he had fuel problems
he could not correct. Mr.. Con-
way said he told them to shut
down engine No. 4.
At that time, he said, he
could see the lights in Rich
mond to his left. He called
Richmond's Byrd Field, which
alerted its emergency equip
ment.
THE airplane was under
complete control" Mr.. Conway
said-a statement he repeated
several times during the press
conference.
The control tower suggested
they use runway No. 80, which
was the longest, he said.
Mr.. Conway said because the
engines were off they had diff
ficulty in getting the nose
wheel down on the first ap-
proach.

Frank Funk, the Cleveland rookie pitcher
who was the sensation of the last six weeks of
last season and who the Sporting News picks
as this seasons top rookie hurler in the Amer
lean League, expressed few thoughts on
pitching strategy here few weeks back
For one thing he doesn't intend to
pitch to Mickey Mantle. 'I'lI try to get all
the rest of them out" he said two weeks
ago in his mothers home in Bethesda.
IF he hits it, it won't be anything good
and he'll have to reach for it."
For relief pitcher Nellie Fox of Chicago
represents big problem Funk says Fox is
one of the toughest men in the league with
men on base. - "And you might as well forget
about trying to strike him out. He strikes out
fewer times than any man in baseball"
Denny Floyd the Rockville lefthander who
had a tryout with the old Mats last season
hoped to sign with the new Washington Club
this season but probably won't
New Mats farm director Hal Keller thinks
Denny needs more experience and the 20-year-
old Rockville boy will try to get some pitching

Blazers Lose
LIST in Loop;
Errors Kill WI

Eight walks issued by four
different pitchers gave Suit
land a 81 win over Blair
Monday as the Blazers suf-
fered their first loss in BIZ
County league play this sea-
son.
On the heels of this defeat
by a Prince Georges school,
Bladensburg dealt Wheaton its
third loss in a row, 81, and
High Point capitalized on Wal
ter Johnson errors to down the
Green, 4-3.
Blair got off to 10 lead
against the Rams, league CO.
champions from last season.
Teddy Aranow, Blair's starting
pitcher got in trouble in the bot
tom of the second, however, and
gave away to lefthander Gary
Goubeau.
Goubeau lasted until the
fourth. He pitched to four bat
tiers, getting one on a force out
and loading the bases. Ev Luz
cas- came on in relief and walk
ed two to push in a pair of runs.
Vern Chadwick came in and
walked in two more runs. Fin
ally catcher Bill Banglesdorf
assembled to the mound and
managed to issue only one pass
between two strikeouts to re-
tire the side. Banglesdorf gave
up one hit, no walks and no
runs the rest of the way.
Blair scored two in the first
and five in the second and ap.
peared to be on the way to an
easy victory before the roof
fell in. Sonny Jackson had two
hits and two RIBS, while Ricky
Robinson had a two-run homer.
Four unearned runs made the
difference for WI. The Spar
tans had the bases loaded with
one run in the final inning when
Bob Hall struck out to end the
rally.
