One Os Bailed Out Airmen Found Safe EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine (UPU—One of two airmen who bailed out of a 852 jet bomber Monday night after a collision with a tanker plane, was found in the snow-covered Maine woodlands today. x An Air Force spokesman said two parachutes were spotted on the ground by a helicopter which landed to pick up Capt. William Harris, 34, Middletown, Pa. He was taken to search headquarters at Macwahoc. The fate of Lt. David B. Morris, 24, Corunna, Mich., the navigator of the plane, was not Immediately known. Temperatures were near zero during the night. Both, had survival kits and the Air Force said if neither was injured during the parachute landing they could survive for days. Ride To Safe Landings Fourteen, other airmen, seven in each plane, rode to safe landings after the collision at 15,000 feet. The tanker crew was hospitalized but the Air Force said it was only a "precautionary” measure. Three of the men suffered minor injuries. The collision occurred shortly after the KC-97 four-engine tanker and the jet bomber began a 1 routine refueling operation. Airrpan 1-C Earl D. Gooch of Marshall, Tex., said the two planes had been having trouble throughout the rendezvous because the bomber’s signal system wasn’t working properly. Boom Punctures Fuselage He said the bomber came too close and "it seemed like he just jumped at us. Boy what a mess.” The refueling boom punched through the bomber's fuselage, tearing a yard-wide hole. Inflammable fuel poured into the bomber and splr.hed over both planes. Harris and Morris, apparently under orders, bailed out of the I bomber. The Air Force said they I would have been the first two to i leave the plane in a normal ditching operation. The KC-97 was directed to the nearest landing strip, Dow Air ’ Force Base, while the bomber was ordered to Westover Air I Force Base in Chicopee, Mass., h<-me base for both craft.

Sudden Storm Pouring Snow On Panhandle United Press International A sudden snow storm, bearing up to eight inches of snow, swirled through New Mexico today and knifed into the Texas-Oklahoma panhandle. The storm spread rain, snow or freezing rain over nearly all of Texas and Oklahoma and paved many southwestern highways with ice. Alberquerque, N.M., reported eight inches of snow. Four inches fell at 'Tucumcari, N.M., and through the panhandle area. The U.S. Weather Bureau issued blizzard warnings for northwestern Oklahoma and Texas and cautioned drivers not to buck the high winds and heavy drifts expected during the day. The storm closed eastbound highways from Alberquerque and stranded about 100 motorists at Vega, Tex. More than thr<»e inches of rain pelted western Washington, melting seven incnes of snoW in Stamoede Pass and threatening the state with its second devastating flood in less than a month The rains and meling snows combined to push the Snohomish, Snncua’mia and Green rivers toWafd flood stage again. Army engineers moved in to prepare for anothe round of flood fighting. Late last month, the three rivers went on a rampage, forcing hundreds of families from their homes, washing out thousands of acres of rich farmland and cutting off all east-west ground transportation across Washington. Other rains fell Monday night from Texas to Kansas and in the upper Great Lakes area. Tempeatures dropped from 6-15 degrees east of the storm front,, torn Te v as to Nebraska, but rose by 19 degrees in .southeastern Texas and Louisiana and from 10-30 degrees through Montana and North Dakota. The bureau predicted widespread rain outside the storm area from eastern Texas and the western Gulf states to the Plains, the mid Mississippi Valley and the lower Ohio Valley. More rains were expected in western Washington, with a few snow flurries in the mountains of Jdaho, Montana an New Mexico. Men Attend...... J Service, Sales Meet "A: R.
