Their job is to reconstruct the crime" from the
fragments of charred wreckage and prevent the

themselves lucky If they solve half their major
crimes, the CABS force of Air Safety Investigators

have pinpointed the prime causes so precisely and
recommended cures so effectively that the same
villain has never had chance to take another life
Airplane accidents don't choose a time or a place

Yesterdays Christmas tree is
a depressing sight. Stripped of
tinsel and ornaments, it usually
is hauled into the backyard to
disappear in a shower of flame
and sparks or left for the trash
man.
Well, as you enjoy the tree
today. you may be interested
to know that it can be used to
bestow a final gift on the furred
and feathered creatures to
whom a white Christmas means
only that they have to hunt
harder for food and cover.
If you live in the country, OF
even II you don't, it would be
a worthwhile community project
to collect the trees and pile
them at the edges of fields OF
over eroded gullies to harboI

Whether you enjoy hunting
or just rambling through the
woods to watch wildlife, it is
to your interest to provide ade-
quate food and cover.

his comments.
Most normally active adults

ficient on skis and may con-
tinue to improve their skiing
ability for many years. 1t is
true that good physical condi-
ton is desirable, but youth and
athletic prowess are not neces-
Sary.
At a Canadian ski area the
writer shared a T-bar with an
octogenarian, who had enjoyed
several runs from the top OF
the intermediate slope. The
old-timer skied at moderate
speed and took a long break at
lunchtime; but he skied well,
and appeared TO have as much
fun as any teenager on the hill.

If you enjoy having the
squirrels around your suburban
home, remember that they are
partial to hardwood forests,
where they live on fruits, nuts,
buds, seeds and grain. Trees
may include oak, hickory, beech,
maple, walnut, pine, blackgum,
dogwood. mulberry, sweetgum
and spruce. They also eat
mushrooms and other fungi
and some insects.
Establishing fruit and nut
bearing trees takes a long time,
but you can leave food trees
standing in your woodland after
cutting operations and protect
the woods from fire and graz
ing.
During winter emergencies,
ears Of corn can be placed upon
spikes along fences or attached
to tree trunks. Building a den
box for the squirrels or nesting
boxes for song birds are good
basement projects.
Leave Strips of Grain
One Of the birds Virginians
most want to encourage is the
wild turkey, found in numbers
as close to Washington as Fair
fax County. They nest in for

Turkeys like seeds, fruits and
grape, beeck blackgum, poison

leave unharvested strips of
grain and legumes close to

was home by 1890. He, too, had
not touched q drink all day.
At the Chicago airport, an
airline stenographer who had
coffee and cake with the pilot
and copilot Just before take-off
reported both men seemed quite
normal.
She had suffered no Ill ef-
fects from the food. So Fluet
scratched off food poisoning.
Fluet had gotten around to
wondering If the pilot and CO.
pilot could have been victims of
foul play when New York called
with what looked like an i'm
portant break. Out of that con-
fused, static-ridden tumble of
sound, the electronic experts
had been able to make a few
words come clear in the final
broadcast from Flight 624. The
words sounded like, I'VE re-
leased the fire extinguisher in
the forward cargo pit"
Fluet put himself In the
pilots place. A red light from
a fire detector unit would flash
on his dashboard. He might
look out the window for smoke.
The position of the light would
tell him which compartment
was burning. He would turn a
knob to flood the compartment
with the fire extinguisher, car
bon dioxide under pressure. The
forward cargo pit was directly
under the cockpit.
Everything Chorred
"The pilot was up there"
Fluet reminded Clark. "If he
says there was fire in the for
ward cargo pit, we've got to find
evidence of it."
Everything above ground was
charred: no way of telling
whether 1t had burned in flight
or after the crash. Fluet ordered
q crew to dig. Six feet down,
they uncovered a lock attached
to a piece of cord, obviously
torn from a mail bag.
The investigator felt a tug of
excitement as he consulted the
lists of mail sacks in the plane.
The particular lock had been
attached to a bag slowed in the
cargo pit where the pilot re-
ported he had released the fire
extinguisher. The lock and the
rope showed no trace of fire.
Fluet reached his first firm
conclusion: the fire detector on
the dashboard had given a false
alarm.
A call to Washington head
quarters supported his con-
clusion. In the six months since
January, 1948, pilots had re-
ported % false warnings from
fire detectors and 285 false
warnings from smoke detectors.
One more possible cause of
the disaster had been written
off and investigative am
were rapidly eliminating others,
They had found nothing to in
dicate either structural or pow
er failure.
Fluet went back to that first
tentative theory he had voiced
to Clark: physical incapacita-
ton of the crew. Again, he
called Washington.
Give me everything you've
got on the effects OF carbon
dioxide," he requested.
RecolIs Monuol
He was thinking back to the
moment when he had picked UP
the pilots operating manual
near an outstretched hand. An
indentation in the back Of the
book fitted exactly into his
own hand. When he held II
there, the book broke open at
the page carrying instructions
for actions in case Of fire. The
pilot could have t'een holcing
