Steals Airplane, Crashes In France
LONDON, April 26.— (UP)— Two tiny shadows flicked across the screens of Britain’s radar warning system for four hours Monday night, telling the story of the nation’s attempt to save an untrained Indian airman in a runaway airliner. One of the blips on the radar j screens vanished and those who j had watched the four-hour drama knew the attempt had failed. Later they learned, it failed in the fiery crash of the student. Police at Valenciennes in North France near the Belgian border said a plane with British markings crashed into two houses early today, killing one woman and two children and injuring two others. The French were unable to identify . the type of plane and the pilot was not found in the wreckage. The Air Ministry in London immediately gave the French a description of the runaway plane. British authorities stepped up their search northwest of London where the plane was last seen. The missing image was one of the Royal Air Force’s “Flying Classrooms,” a big twin-engined military version of the Valetta civil airliner. It was used by the RAF for navigation and bombardier training. Its pilot was a 20-year-old RAF enlistee who suddenly took off without authority from Thorney Island RAF base near Portsmouth in southern England. He may have been the victim of a runaway plane. The RAF identified him as Manik Agnani, who had enlisted in the RAF from India.

Young Billy Chndd, who has played a lot of basketball up Fillmore way, has added another sport to his repertoire. With Jim Giddings acting as coach, the two decided to give fishing a try. Armed with casting rods, and a goodly supply of night crawlers, Billy and Jim headed for the pond, and proceeded to catch twenty two Bluegill. largest one was ten and one half inches long, while the runt of the bunch went a healthy eight inches. We had trouble finding the Largest one to enter in the big contest. This vvas Billy's first experience with a casting rod, and we predict he will do alright after he gets some experience.

"WASHINGTON. April 26. - (UP)—The atomic-powered merchant ship announced by President Eisenhower is expected to be a sleek, trim vessel designed to go farther, faster, and carry more cargo than any similar ship now afloat. It may or may not have a ! smoke stack—depending on how bound to tradition its designers are. But its atomic engineers will havp no need for one. Administration officials gave these glimpses of the ship of tomorrow after Mr. Eisenhower I disclosed in a speech that the ship now is on the drawing boards. They also predicted that the vessel cannot be launched befon1957. After that a lengthy fitting out period will be required. Mr. Eisenhower in announcing the project Monday said it will visit "the ports of the world . . . and will demonstrate to people everywhere this peacetime use of atomic energy, harnessed for the improvement of human living.” The new queen of the merchant fleet will be built in a private shipyard, at a cost obviously greater than the $8,500,000 price
