COLLIDE OVER FAIR GROUNDS
Fall in Flames Into Crowded Stable; 20 Horses Also Perish.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. 10 (U, P.).—Police said today at least seven persons were killed and 10 hurt when two army bombers collided over the state fair grounds yesterday. One of them crashed in flames into a crowded stable.
Sheriff's deputies and volunteer workers searched the smoking ruins of the stable for additional victims. Fair officials said 20 valuable thor oughbreds perished in the blaze.
Two low-lying A-26 attack bomb-
ers collided before 50,000 horrified state fair spectators during an exhibition by army pilots from Great Falls army air base.
o> Rescuers Can't Enter
# One of the crippled planes plum-
meted directly into the stable, exploding inside the structure, The other plane ploughed into the earth more than five miles away. The stable became a blazing oven filled with shrieking human and animal victims, too intense to per-
mit would-be rescuers to enter, |
Police Chief -- Harold Mady of Great Falls said it was still impossible to determine the exact number of dead. Chief Mady said the bodies of four fliers had been recovered from the two planes and the remains, in whole or part, of! three civilians had been taken from | the ashes of the building. Chief Mady said the only positive ly identified civilian victinr was Migs Dorothy Szabo, 19, of Belt, Mont. Another victim was tentatively identified as Kenneth Pulver, 19, | a jockey. The public relations office at the | army air base at Great Falls identi- |
fied the body of one of the pilots|O. in federal court that he and! “conspired il-| in using the state guard to open a struck plant at Conners- h
as Lt. Arthur P. Pelletier, Coloraine, Minn. Identity of other military victims was withheld temporarily. “It's a ghastly sight.” Mady said, “most of the bodies are being found in burned pieces and we're having a harg time to find out who they were.” Chief Mady said there was no way of knowing the exact number of persons in the barn at the time of the crash, but estimates ranged from 10 to 24. 50,000 Watch The stable was only 750 feet from the grandstand where a crowd of 30,000 gathered to» watch the air exhibition and the racing prograra to follow. Witnesses said the planes were flying in tight formation within
200 feet of the ground when one of |
them suddenly zoomed upward slashing the tail assembly of the other. The tailless plane screamed earthward, exploding as it battered through the side of the stable. The second plane wobbled crazily across the sky and fell out of sight leaving a trail of smoke. The wreckage, containing the bodies of two crewmen, was found by a searching party half an hour later.

T0 CIO CHARGE!
Says He’ll Call Out Militia Again if Necessary.
“When life and property in-In-diana are in danger or it is neces-
| emt, I'll call out the militia |again.” That was Governor Gates’ reply
today to charges made by the C. I.
other state officials legally”
ville. Monday. “Our only action in these matters has he to preserve law and order and to enforce restraining orders handed down by the courts of our state,” Governor Gates said. “That will be the policy of our state government in the future of my administration.” The suit by the United Electrical Workers, sought to have the gOVernor and other officials enjoined from further use of the state guard and state police against “peaceful picketing.” A union spokesman said the governor’s action had placed “civil law in the hands of the military, injuring our chances of getting a fair hearing in civil courts.” The suit was filed as a result of a labor dispute at the Rex Manufacturing Co. plant earlier this week. The union has been involved | in a jurisdictional dispute with an A. F. of L. union. When tie plant | was reopened, Governor Gates ordered out 200 members of the state guard and 150 state policemen to “avoid violence.”

One of some 30 by-standers who crowded the sidewalk and streets watching the fun cracked “Wait a while and Governor Gates’ll be out here.” The target of the sirike, Harry Maddock, who celebrated the 14th of business in that location Tuesday, had little to say!
“I think their mothers put them fup to it,” he said. “I had to buy the yo-yos and gum that way from
any other way.” The disputed merchandise, 10 sticks of gum and a yo-yo for 20 cents, was removed from his cases. He said he'd sold it all; the youthful pickets said he took it out after their strike began attracting attention.

Dear Folks—
City council swung scissors and ‘sharp pencils nere this week at their annual job of trimming the municipal budget down to their own size. . . . City departments are requesting $15,321,533 with which to operate Indianapolis during 1947, but by the time councilmen cease whittling that will be shaved to a lesser figure. . Already city fathers pruned a proposed $100,000 municipal pension plan from the expense sheet on the theory changes of administration would defeat the project anyway, . They also were inclined to frown on increased salaries for department heads. . . . The county informed the Maple Lawn Civic association there aren't enough funds in the treasury to chase mosquitoes from Bacon's swamp, as per the association's demand. . . Cool downpours were sweet nectar to crops and citizens as “Northern
Michigan” weather prevailed during the evenings. . . , The first founfamilies will move next week into “Tyndall Towne,” Stout
field's 475-unit emergency apartment project for veterans. . . . Paul [. Newman, named manager of rentals, said 500 families are on the waiting list. . . . Latest war agency to liquidate itself was Homes Registry, Inc, formerly devoted to hunting homes for G. L.'s and war workers, . The American Veterans Committee announced it is drafting several city ordinances designed to speed
" “emergency home construction for World War
II veterans. , . , Blue forget-me-nots are on sale downtown today by the Disabled American Veterans. . . . Two more performances of the Indjanapolis Opera theater production, “Bittersweet,” will be given tonight and tomorrow night at the state Yairgrounds.

Reckless flying charges against two local pilots accused of “buzzing” ana ‘ hedge-hopping were dropped when complainants failed to appear in municipal court 4. .

A trio of independent engineers, not connected with the city, are inspecting parking meter models preliminary to reporting their choice to the work board by Aug. 19. Automobile telephones providing contact with drivers on the move, were tested here for the first time in cabs and their general commercial use is anticipated within a few weeks. . . . Construction for $1,000,000 of 10 more miles of Indianapolls’ “belt line” highway around the city, enabling motorists to skirt heavy traffic, was promised by the highway department by 1947. +A brand new 1946 Plymouth was wrecked at 49th and Central, . . .
