 Plunged Straight Down
 The ,000-pound astrojet, nearly half as long as football field, plunged straight down sud- denly and with such sickening fury that the pilot never had a chance to radio that he was in trouble.
 There was no flame, no smoke, no trailing exhaust, no outward indication of damage.
 It all happened so quickly that friends and relatives of the pas sengers had not yet had a chance to leave the airport before the plane carrying their loved ones made it's disastrous dive only three mlleS away.
 A Mohawk Airlines plane bound for upstate New York followed the doomed jet from the runway. and its passengers got ghastly, bird's-eye view of the tragedy.
 Here is how one of them, Joseph Farano of New York, de- scribed it:
 .'The jet made a beautiful take off, and then it happened It was as if something reached up from the earth, grabbed it's nose and pulled it down. The plane crashed perfectly perpendicularly, making a terrific splash as it plowed into 1 the muddy swamp

 Aboriginal Rights Protests Of Three Native Villages

FAIRBANKS lRY U The Land Office of the Bureau of Land Management here Wednesday dis missed the aboriginal rights pro- tests of three native villages Tanacross, Northway and Minto.
 The three villages had claimed large areas around their boun- daries through possessory and aboriginal rights and had protest ed state selection of land in the areas.
 Fairbanks Land Office Manager Daniel Jones dismissed the pro- tests filed in October and Novem- Der by James Hawkins, at that time Area Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, on behalf of the natives.
 The lands in dispute involved more than four million acres. Minto claims an area of about 2o7 900 acres. Northway claims 2,z74,000 acres and Tanacross claims 1,684,00 acres.
 In support of their protests. these native groups asserted DOS sessory rights on the lands in question based upon use and oc- cupancy since time immemorial They claim the land is used by them for fishing, trapping and hunting in making livelihood.
 The protests were dismissed upon jurisdictional grounds.
 Our attorneys have not been able to find any authority for our determining aboriginal rights" Jones said.
 That is the same thing as de- ferrnining the navigability of a steamer. Only the courts can do that"

Light Plane Crashes In Heavy Snowstorm

VANCOUVER, BIG. R A former United States Air Force jet pilot crash-landed a light air craft near here last night in a heavy snowstorm.
 Ebert T. Pettijohn, 37, was not injured, but his nephew, Calvin Johnston, IA, suffered back in- juries. His condition was report ed good by the hospital. The plane was wrecked.
 The Maple Valley, Wn., pair were enroute from Anchorage to Renton, Wn., near Maple Valley when they were blown off course.
 Pettijohn put the aircraft down on the Lougheed Highway near the Vancouver area municipality of Mission. 1t struck the power lines before hitting the road.
 Tn an interview later, Pettijohn said: ssTt was difficult to see be- cause of the storm. I was just thinking about the boy-hoping he wouldn't be injured.
 The pair will continue the journey home by bus when the Department of Transport com pletes it's investigation of the crash.
 Pettijohn will be remembered in Nome as he was a bush pilot for Alaska Airlines here several years ago It is understood that he is still with Alaska, flying out of Seattle.
 While he was based in Fair banks, Pettijohn was also an Air National Guard pilot, when that organization operated jet fighters. It was during this period that lie gave the people of Nome one of their first experiences with a. sonic boom, while he was weekend warrior"

Priority Bills Being Drafted to Finish Work in 60 Days

JUNEAU R = Leaders If the House of Representatives and the Senate disclosed yesterday pri- ority list of legislation is being drafted in an effort to complete the work of the 1862 session with in so days.
 President Frank Peratrovich of the Senate and Speaker Warren Taylor of the House said com mittees from both chambers are working up coordinated list of priority legislation.
 s'We are going to analyze all bills pending before the legisla- ture and assign the most i'm portant to first, second, third and possibly fourth priority" Taylor said.
 Taylor and Peratrovich said the first priority bills would be mat ters of qualification = the crimin- al procedures act, the commercial code, the civil procedures act and the probate act.
 'sIt is necessary that those bills be approved so they can be in corporated into the revised statutes which will be printed this summer and delivered to us by Nov. 15,n Taylor said.
 Asked if he anticipated that Gov. Wn. Egan's employment security bills would be assigned a high priority, Taylor replied:
 T think it would be fine thing if we could place state en- ployes under employment security and we should get to this bill if we possibly can.
 sAs for the bills increasing weekly benefits and the benefit period, I feel that our employ ment security act is quite gen. erous and I don't see where we could give those bills a great deal of priority.
 t'Of course, if we did find time i it would be nice tocarry out thos,
 bills, but just don't know wheth
 CT we will be able to do it. Peratrovich said that while tn, Joint Finance Committee is la boring very hard over the budge bill, there has been no indica tion as yet when they might bs ready to bring it out"

Puget Sound Ferry System
 Costing H,944,499 Runs S37,92O,Ooo Nm the Red In Eleven Years Service

In that year a $30.5 million bond issue was sold to improve the sys- tenn and construct the Hood Canal bridge
 That brought the total bonded debt to it's present S37 ,920,000.
 To pay off the debts and operate the ferry system. the state has revenue from 2l ferry boats that ply nine basic ferry runs, plus in- come from the Hood Canal toll bridge
 The ferry system has 654 full | time employees on the payroll. An additional IS employees work at the bridge.
 The financial problems, which have loomed larger in the past five years, have given rise to a great deal of controversy.
 Some groups have urged that bridges be built to replace the ferryboats. But these groups split into pro-toll bridge and antl-toll bridge factions.
 Some have called for elimination of the more uneeonomieal. ferry runs. But this immediately raises hoWls of protest from those who would lose ferry service.
 And away in the background is muted talk of hiking ferry rates.
 The ferry system has from the beginning been in the thick of po- litieal fights, and those who would have to carry the burden of pro- posing a fare increase hesitate for fear it would be political suicide.
 The ferry system issue has been blamed in large part for the de- feat in 1948 of Democratic Gov. Mon Wallgren.
 Running for his second term, Gov. Wallgren announced seven months before the 1948 election that he intended to put the state into the ferry business.
 His Republican opponent, Arthur Langlie, hit hard at the sWallgren plan" and won the election.
 Four months later Gov. Langlie signed an order authorizing the state toll bridge authority to ac- quire the ferry system. The plan was similar to the one advocated by Wallgren, but the price was less
 On June l, 1851, the state bought the Old Black Ball Ferry Line from it's owner, the Puget Sound Naviga- tion Co.,
 To obtain the $4,944 ,499 purchase price, the state floated a $6.8 mil lion bond issue.
 Bond issue' has since become a very familiar term in the ferry system.
 Another S500,0O0 in bonds was sold in 1852 to buy the Seattle Ferry Terminal.
 In 1853, $38 million bond issue was sold to buy two used ferryboats from the State of Mary land and to build a new 1O0-car vessel, the Evergreen State"
 The 19544 and 1857 multi-million dollar bond issue followed easily.

By John Komen
 OLYMP1A. (. In 1851 the State of Washington bought itself Puget Sound ferry system for S4,944 ,499
 Eleven years later that same ferry system = plus a bridge that has been tied to if -i is saddled with a bonded debt of s37, ,92O,OOO, an amount more than seven times the original purchase price.
 The figures reflect in a nutshell the financial troubles that have bothered and beWildered the ferry system since became q state monopoly.
 The l96l Washington legisla- tnre confronted the problem and came up with plan it apparently felt would provide solution.
 The plan called for issuing S33 million in new bonds to pay off the present outstanding bonds
 The main idea behind this so- called ssrefunding plan was to reduce from 40 per cent to 100 per cent the amount of cash the state must have on hand at all times to meet minimum yearly debt service payments.
 By reducing the requirement to 100 per cent, more cash would be released for operating expense and debt payments.
 The refunding plan was pro- noted as move to eliminate state subsidies needed to run the ferry system and meet bond debt re- quirements.
 But the plan never was sub- mitted into effect It became tied up in court.
 It was submitted for legal test to the State Supreme Court Jan. 9. On Oct 30 - more than nine months later the court decided to rehear the case It will be re-argued Nov. 2l.
 The court gave no reason, but there was speculation the eight judges who had heard the original arguments nine months ago had split on whether the refunding plan was legal
 Thus the ferry system financial problem continues. The need for a further subsidy has already been revealed.
 Since 1857 the ferry system, which includes the Hood Canal floating bridge. has received $9,- 307,718 in subsidies and loans from the legislature and from ex- ecutive emergency funds.
 Next January the 1863 legisla- ture convenes, and it will be asked to appropriate another subsidy of $1,416,401 to keep the system on an even keel during the 1863 fiscal year.
 Refunding, or refinancing out standing bonds against the ferry system has been done once before
 In 1855 the state floated $1O million bond issue to refinance the systems then bonded indebtedness of $9,218,O0O.
 Some $7,42O,OOO of the $1O mil lion in 1855 bonds is still out standing.
 It was in 1857 that the ferry system was saddled with it's big gest debt.

FAMILY ALLOWANCE
FOUNDER DIES

PARIS, (NC) - Emile
Romanet. founder Of Frances
system of family allowances,
has died in Grenoble at the
age of SO.
AS a young engineer in
Grenoble he was struck by
the plight of fathers of large
families who earned no more
in the factories than bach
elors. A student of the social
encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII,
he tried to devise a way of
overcoming this inequity.
To ask employees to give
higher wages to workers with
heavy family responsibilities
would in the end narrow the
job opportunities of such
workers, he decided. He fin
ally hit upon the idea which
has become law in France and
spread to many other coun-
tries of the globe.
Every employee deposits a
fixed weekly sum into a fund
for family allowances. This in
turn is distributed back to
the employees according to
their family responsibilities.
The first such funds were
established on a voluntary
basis in business establish
ments in Grenoble and Lyons.
They soon spread throughout
France, and the French Parlia-
ment ordered all business to
establish the family allowance
funds devised by Emile ROM
anet.
Today family allowance
funds distribute hundreds of
millions of francs yearly,
doubling and in some cases
TRIPPING the income of big
families. They also finance
welfare Institutions, vacation
camps and housing for big
families. A few years ago the
funds were applied directly
to rents of large families, pay
ing as much as rs per cent of
the housing expenses of big
families.
