Jet Plane Crash Into Store Probed:
Pilot Dies, 35 Shoppers Injured

"AANO" NAA0ONGs a. aus
% (AP).-A team of investi-
gators today probed the wreck
age Of a Navy jet plane in ef-
forts to determine what caused
it to crash into a department
store, killing the pilot and in
juring between 80 and 35 per-
sons.
The jet plane, coming in for
a landing at the Willow Grove
Naval Air Station yesterday,
plunged through the roof of the
discount store a half mile from
the runway, killing 1t. Comdr.
Robert Haven, SO, of Columbus,
Ohio. Comdr. Haven was de-
scribed by his commander as a
veteran with 1000 flying
hours and the best pilot in his
squadron"
None Of the injured was hurt
seriously.
Officials said there were rs
to 100 shoppers and some 80 to
40 employees in the discount
store operated by a chain
known as Bargain City, USA.
Less than one-fourth of the
departments were open, due to
Pennsylvania's blue laws which
permit only sales of certain
essential merchandise such as
foodStuffs on Sundays.
Panic Appeared
An eyewitness said that after
the plane crashed there ap-
peared to be panic as persons
inside the store tried to get out.
ut was very quiet" said Mrs.
Peggy Gotwolz, %, of Hatboro,
Pa. "Then all of a sudden this
crash. There was glass falling.
1 didn't even see the plane.
When I saw everyone running
I picked up my child and start
ed to run, too. Men, women and
children were running. The
men didn't seem to stop to
help the children. 1t seemed
like everyone was for himself"
All of the injured, who in
cluded four firemen, were treat
ed at nearby Abingdon Memo
rial Hospital and released,
with the exception of Mrs.
Meta Kennedy, So, Of Hor-
sham, Pa. She was ad-
mitted in fair condition. Prac-
tically all the injured shoppers
were treated for decorations, the |
firemen for smoke inhalation. |
Fire Chief Samuel Salerno, of !
nearby Horsham, who directed
some 400 civilian firemen, said
the Navy FJ-3 Fury fighter
landed in section of the store
in which the departments were
closed.
None in Area
He said he didn't think any,
one was in the immediate area /
where the plane fell, leaving a
huge hole and scattering glass
and debris in the single-story,
block-long building.
He said the plane exploded
twice after it hit and burst
into flames. The aircraft, the
Navy's version of the Air Force
F-86 Sabre, was ripped apart,
its wreckage Strewn over an
80-foot section of the store.
Ed Fernandez, an area resi-
dent, said he was sitting on
his porch about $50 feet away
when he saw the plane loop
over once"
1T appeared to be too low"
he said. 1T took off again, to
circle the field and again
looped over, but it still seemed
too low. A moment later the
plane suddenly flipped over
and down. Then boom!"
Comdr. John Hannigan, base
information services officer,
said the pilot had taken a vol
untary wave Off" meaning he
chose not to land on the first
approach but rather to go
around.
He said the pilot reported no
trouble. The flyer was on a
routine flight over the Phila-
delphia area as part Of bis
regular weekend drill. Willow |
Grove is about 10 miles north
of Philadelphia. /,

1t was Gods blessing because

FAMOUS FABLES

HABIT: Newspaper Editor
Arthur Brisbane composed
his editorials by reciting
them into a dictaphone.
Each was a complete COM
position, down to punctua-
ton. He did not trust his
secretary to use even a semi
colon at her own discretion.
He clearly indicated every
punctuation mark by saying
period" at the end of a SEN

quotes, etc.
At one time, Brisbane was
invited to deliver an address
at the University Of Chicago.
After speaking for some min
utes. he noticed that his lis
tenerS were regarding him
with puzzled expressions.
When he had finished, he
asked one of the professors
if something had been wrong
with his speech.
"Oh no, it was an excel

fessor. But I do think, Mr..

casion which always will re-
main vivid in my mind-waS
that moment on May 10,
1924, when Harlan Fiske
Stone, then Attorney General
and later Chief Justice of the
United States, summoned me
to his office.
At the time, I was assistant
director of the Bureau of In
vestigation, the name by
which the FBI then was
known. Harlan Stone had
been appointed Attorney
General the preceding month,
with orders from President
Coolidge to reorganize the
Justice Department and re-
store public confidence in
this vital facet of our Gov
ernment.
Stone Starts Cleanup
1t did not take the new At
torney General long to begin
cleaning house. On May 9
the day preceding my sum-
mons to his office-he had
requested the resignation of
the bureaus previous direc-
tor. Throughout my seven
years service in the Justice
Department, I had consist
emily done my best. My con-
science was clear. I had
nothing to hide. Nonetheless,
was I to be next?
Harlan Stone was a big
man over 6 feet tall and
more than 200 pounds. Upon
entering his office, I found
him seated behind his desk,
a pensive, half-scowling ex-
preston on his face as he
pondered the mountain of
papers before him.
AS I walked toward him.
the Attorney General rose
from his chair and extended
a firm hand for me to shake.
"Sit down over here" he said,
There's something I want to
discuss with you"
Silence Unnerving
For the next several mo-
ments, Attorney General
Stone peered at me over
heavy-rimmed glasses. The
silence was unnerving. Then
he said, You're 90 years old.
Some people think that's too
young. I disagree, Young
man. I want you to take
charge of the Bureau of In
vestigation."
These words broke the
false tension which, need
lessly, 1 had found mounting

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Would you please print
something in your column
concerning children drinking
alcoholic beverages? My hus-
band has been permitting our
12-year-old son to drink a
bottle of beer with his din
ner. I think this is entirely
too much alcohol for a child
who weighs only 80 pounds.
Il can't reason with my
husband. He claims that if
a child drinks at home with
his meals he will never think
of drinking as a novelty
when he grows older. What
do you think ABOUT it?-
Mrs. X"
1T GIVES ME the creeps
when I see a crowd of high
school kids at a party, stand

1T must be wonderful to

WONDERFUL is the word
for it, Mrs. T. Although !

ally try to talk to one-as if
one reader were sitting
across my desk.
Let Emerson explain it for
me: Happy is he who looks
only into his work to know
if it will succeed, never into
the times or public opinion:
and who writes from the
love of itnparting certain
thoughts and not from the
necessity of sale-who writes
always to the unknown
friend"
I RECEIVE many letters
from expectant mothers who
fear childbirth. I am sure the
following letter from Mrs. c..
Of Washington, D. c., will
give them courage:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
the mother of three wonder
full children, and as far as
I am concerned, I think that
childbirth is the most mirac-
ulous thing in the world.
However, I am approached
very often by newly expectant
mothers who are deathly
afraid Of labor and child
birth. I try to tell them that
with the medical achieve
ments for mothers today, that
there is absolutely nothing to
fear except fear itself. That
at the first sight of their
newborn infant all else is for
gotten. What more can I say?
