Six Adams county members attended the meeting where the 160 . rural youths present learned the importance of carrying insurance, 1 what they should carry and why they should have insurance. Al Britzenhofe of the Indiana Farm ’ Bureau Insurance company led the discussion. Many questions of rural youths were answered . concerning their insurance needs. . Britzenhofe’s presentation is a feature being used at all the 10 » district meetings in Indiana this 1 month. J. R. Reece, district chairman, conducted the business meeting. Announcements were made con- . cerning the district square dance > in Peru June 21, the district weekend trip to Chicago June 28 , and 29 and the district bowling tournament at the JO-CO alleys in Marion on May 11. Member- , ship awards were presented by Gene Biberstein, district membership captain.

A key congressman. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) of the House Commerce Committee, said the jet “had no business over a regular airway.” He demanded that the Civil Aeronautics Board take immediate corrective action and hinted Congress may investigate the use of air space by military planes, particularly those on training flights. Harris said he may recommend that* his committee hold joint hearings with the House Armed Services Committee on the air safety problem. Harris was informed Monday night by CAB Chairman James R. Durfee that the CAB ordered its staff April 11 to prepare a special report to Congress on current air space problems and CAB safety regulatory activities. Durfee said the “important" document was now in draft stage and would be printed as soon as possible Federal aviation officials were stunned by the crash which—like the Grand Canyon disaster of two years ago—occurred in relatively empty air space. | Most declined specific comment until some of the confusion is cleared away. It was"Stiirto be determined whether the jet fighter was out of control when it hit the airliner at 21,000 feet. On that single question depended much of the responsibility for the accident, and possible action to follow. I One report said the FlOO’s engine had “flamed out," or failed at 29,000 feet. That would indicate a one-in-a-million freak accident in which a wildly plunging fighter fell from what normally was a safe operating altitude into the airliner’s path. At 29,000 feet the jet was flying nearly 5,000 feet above the top service ceiling of a DC7. An Air Force spokesman said later the jet had been given permission to descend to a lower altitude. This could mean the fighter entered the airway under control and rammed the airliner because either of both planes failed to see each other in time.
