Cool- Thinking Pilot's Treetop
Glide Saves 53
CHICAGO, Sept. 17 (UP)—A pilot's cool thinking was credited today with saving the lives of 53
persons aboard a C-46 airliner
when one of its two engines went | dead shortly after takeoff from] Chicago's Midway Airport. The pilot, €apt. B. J. Mountain, | Miami, eased the disabled plane to a wheels-up ¢rash landing in| a weedy pasture near a busy traf-|) fic intersection two miles from the airport yesterday, Forty-two of the pershns aboard were injured. but none seriously. Thirty-eight were taken to hospitals for treatment. Twentythree were released within a few! hours. The 13 still hospitalized
were reported®™in good condition.
The plane, operated by Peninsular Air Transport, Inc., had just taken off on a charter flight to Cincinnati, Miami and Tampa when Capt. Mountain radioed the control tower that his left engine had failed. “I need emergency clearance to land,” he said. Tower Operator J. R. Kenwood said he radioed back that all run-, ways were cleared, but Capt. Mountain had not gained enough altitude to swing back toward the field. Instead, he glided over treetops! and into a field in what airport | officials described as a “remarkable” crash landing.
Inquest Is Today In Air Show Plunge!
FLAGLER, Colo., Sept. 17 (TP) | -—~An inquest was set today iato the deaths of 20 persons—13 of them children—who were killed when a stunt plane roared into a crowd of spectators at an air show, At the same time, a mass funeral for most of the victims was planned for Thursday. Every home inthis hamlet of 850 residents was touched by the accident Saturday. In addition to the dead, 25 persons were injured, 10 of them seriously. The Civil Aeronautics Board, meanwhile, examined the wreckage of the silver and blue plane. ! CAB Chief R. P.

crashed into the line of spectators and automobiles,
the annual Flagler harvest festival. It was the first time in the history of the community that an air show was the feature. of the carnival. Toscanini Returns NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (UP)—| Arturo Toscanini, 84, returned by plane from Italy today to resume conducting the National Broadcasting Company's symphony concerts beginning Nov. 3 in Carnegie Hall.

New Light
on Prayer TC ¥ Most people would pray more if they felt they knew how —and knew how prayer could really be effective. Many today feel that their own lives, and the world at large, sorely need help that human éffort has not brought. They see that somehow |, the answer to life's perplexing problems must be sought where power and intelligence have their limitless, befeficent source — the realm of God.
Today a great book, the Christian Science textbook
SCIENCE AND -HPALTH
WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURES by Mary Baker Eddy
is showing mankind as never before how to pray effectively. It reveals awholly new method of prayer which meets humanity’s need. In heartfelt gratitude many are saying, "We have found the way!” Through thoughtful study of this book:you can do the same.

Pfc. Gatto was sent to Japan for hospitalization. The doctors were wonderful, he reports. “An Indianapolis- physician, Dr. Harvey, took the "X-rays. They removed the 31-cal. slug which was bent in a half-moon shape, from my head. I sent it to my wife, but*she didn’t receive it.” “I—-thought I'd be sent home,” Pfc. Gatto said, “but I. went back to Korea again.” About a month and a half later, Pfc. Gatto was wounded again. {This time in his hand. After three
