The big six-engine planes, operating from Homestead Air Force Bat^e south of Miami, were believed to have crashed off Cuba’s Isle of Pines about 159 miles south of Key West, Fla. Sister planes of the downed craft reported upon their return to Homestead that they saw a ‘ huge bolt of fire” and then saw flames shoot out in "many directions” toward the sea. One of the first rescue planes on the scene radioed that “fires

Carey Criticize' Union Officials
MIAMI Beach (UP)— President James B. Carey of th • Electrical Workers girded today for any counter attack by Teamsters officials he criticized for declining to testify before a congressional Inquiry. Carey’s armor of a possible feud with Dave Beck’s Teamsters consisted mainly of a new “code of ethical practices” he forged for his International Union of Electrical Workers. His code, Carey announced Thursday, is “without precedent ns a comprehensive document” covering labor unions’ organizational and administrative work, management of funds, and adminstrative of welfare programs. “Under the IUE concept a per-

About 300 persons were inside the building when the fire broke out late Thursday afternoon on the first floor of the building which housed clothing, plastics and machinery films.

Historical Society
Holds Meeting
The Putnam County Histori- ; cal society met at the Boots ’N Saddle for a dinner meeting Wednesday, evening with a good attendance. Mrs. William Boatright, president, presided. Mrs. Walter Evens had charge of the program and introduced different speakers. Mrs. Perry Michael was in possession of a small book about soldiers' of 1812. There was one named Jacob Piercy who lived in central Virginia and served as a private for six months. He married Abbie McDowell and came to Kentucky, entered land and built a house. Eight children were born, seven of which came to Indiana in 1821. The son, Jacob, married in Putnam County and lived in Cloverdale. Mrs. Boatright read a paper entitled "A Possible Twist or the Sinking of the Maine.” While Comrade Frank L. McNail of Detroit of the army of occupation was stationed in Cuba, a native told him about his daughter being an entertainer at Morro Cast1 e where Spanish officers were staying. She made a remark about trying to press an electri-oa-1 button which would set off a bomb in the ship. He said he never heard of his daughter again. Anyway the Spanish were responsible whether this story is
true or not.
Mrs. Boatright continued by telling the meaning of the insignia on the pin of the American Legion. Mr. Boatright told of some of his experiences in World War IT. Mr. Romine and Dr. Crandall told some incidents of their experiences overseas.
"Is that you Sandra? Is Sandra there?” Mrs. Tollstam said her daughter Sandra, 13, and Patricia were close friends. She said she awakened her daughter because the voice sounded so frightened end depressed, but the caller burg up before Sandra reached the phone.
lation “would fail to realize our responsibilities” but “I will not personally condone" discipline of party renegades. He said “it would be inadvisable to oppose the party platform” by supporting a “right to work” bill which would outlaw the requirement that a worker hold union membership to retain hie job.
Mr. and Mrs. Oral McCullough Entertained Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Oral McCullough and family had as Sunday dinner and supper guests, Mrs. Ethel Lawson and Mrs. Edna Shoemaker of Fillmore. In the afternoon they attended the special services at the Coatesville Missionary Baptist church to hear Redd Harper (in person) as ‘Mr. Texas” himself. He’s a member of Billy Graham Evangelistic team. He has appeared in nearly every state in the union, also Canada, England. Ireland. Scotland and Wales, playing his guitar and singing his own compositions, which include his two great hits, "I’m following Jesus each step of the Way” and “Lord Keep Your precious Hand on Me.” A good crowd attended thii special service.
Across The Counter The telephone rang and Mr. Flemner asked me to come to his office. He owns and manages a large, local business. Without much • delay, Mr. Flemner bold me he had been reviewing the insurance requirements of his business. It was ob-, ■vious he had given much thought to the problem. After I looked over his outline, Mr. Flemner asked, “W h a t have you to 4 X U 11 LCl propose ? “Mr. Flemner,” I replied, “I will probably have several recommendations. However, I’m not vain enough to think that I can give you, in just a few minutes, the right solution to your entire insurance problem which you have personally spent m many months M trying to sol-““ ve. However, I would like to take the time to give it further study. I may be able to come back with some ideas which mav be helpful”. Mr. Flemner nodded in agreement. “Fine,” he said, “report back in a few- weeks.” “Okay,” I replied. “But, first, let’s talk a little more about your business, and then I d like to look over your operations.” Within a couple of weeks. I presented a summary of recommendations to Mr Flemner. He grinned after reading the report "My only mistake was in not calling you sooner.” May we help YOU analyze the insurance needs of your business ? Simpson Stoner INSURANCE Phone 6
New Record Set By Jet Bomber BEDFORD, Mass. (UP)—A new coast to coast flight record —3 hours and 46 minutes—was set today by an Air Force jet bomber with the aid of the “jet stream.” The B47 flashed over the marker at Hanscom Air Base here at 8:04 a .m. CST after covering 2.650 miles from March Air Base, Calif. The Air Force said that the Lime was 1 minute better than the record set by a fighter plane in 1955, and 30 minutes faster than the bomber record of nours and 16 minutes. It took the plane 15 minutes .o land from an altitude of 35,000 feet over the airport. The plane ejected tow parachutes to brake the landing. Piloted by Maj. Mont Smith of Arlington, Mass., the B47 had left March Air Force Base at 4:17 a. m. The plane had reported its speed as 850 m.p.h. over Vandalia, El. It was flying at 35.000 feet over Gardner, Mass., some 40 miles west of its destination. Crash crev’s were lined up along the 7.500-foot runway here as the big ship came down to a perfect landing at 8:19 a. m. The jet’s crew had been studying for three years the jet stream, a river of air that flows across the country from west to east at 25,000 feet above the earth and higher. The Air Force Cambridge Research Center, which has headquarters here, mapped the jet stream to prepare for today's flight. Air Force officials said the jet stream at times can give planes a 250-mile-an-hour boost.
