VIodd's Ergesi ' Bomber falters On Take-Off

SPOKANE. Wash.. April (AP)-A giant B-36 bomber fal- tered and fell on lake-off at Falrchlld air force base today. killing 15 of the 17 men aboard.

The huge craft. world's largest bomber, crashed through a fence at the end of the runway and burst into flames in a farmer's field, leaving bits of wreckage in its wake.

Somehow two men survived. They were seriously burned and were unable to speak to investi- gators.

The B-36 hit with terrific force and stopped at the edg of Ernest Ali's wheat field.

"We were awakened by this awful crash and as we got out of bed all we could see was a big fire," Ali said.

"The crush made an awful ex- plosion." All said. "It lit up the room like it was daylight. It look- ed like it was only a block away

but it was a hall-mile." The l0-engine B-36 with its huge swept-back wing was vir-

tually a shell in minutes.

The S3,500.000 bomber was tok- lng off on a routine iralnlnz flight from Fairchild. some 10 miles west of here.

Falrchild said it couldn't con- firm Alf's,report that the B-36 blew up. Air force officials said

they were unable to determine the cause of the crash immed- lately.

The B-86 carries 21,000 gallons of gasoline and has a range of 10,000 miles wits its four jet and six piston engines.

The big bombers have been based here since last summer. One crashed and burned com-

pletely lnat January while com- lng In for a landing. The crew escaped serious injury.

In Sight As

(By Howard W. Blakeslce. Assoc- iated Press Science Editor)

NEW YORK, April '.i5-(AP)-- The end of polio may be in sight due to is surprising discovery that polio strikes first in our blood instead of nerves.

The discovery already is used to prevent polio in monkeys and champanzecs. .

Two reports of the blond dis- covcry. one from Johns Hopkins University and the other front Yale. were made today to the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. ' The .Tol'ih'k Kzipiclns 'report was by Dr. David Bodlan, associate professor of epldemeolog,v.. and the Yale report by Dr. Dorothy M. Horsimann. assistant professor of preventive medicine. The Na- tional Foundation for infantile Paralysis asalsted both.

Polio virus was supposed to go from the stomach to the nerves.

Monkeys and chimpanzees got

polio virus in their blood, the some as humans are known to do. It was found It few days

later in their blood. Sometimes it remained in the blood for 15 days. During all this time the animals were not sick in the slightest degree.

This explains why the blood route of polio went undiscovered so many years. Nobody looked there when nnimuls were not sick. For the same reason it was not found in human blood.

The New Concept

Dr. Borlian snld the new con- cept of polio is that while the virus stays in the blood, the blood makes antibodies to destroy the virus. But sometimes it does not make enough of these protectors. and in that case the virus leeks lnio nerves of the spinal cord and brain.

The polio attacks and destroys these nerves. causing illness as it starts the destruction.

This 1-xplalns probably why

The csiimntes were passed at a meeting which lasted more than four hours. Prior to the discuss- ing of the estimates the regular

monthly meeting of the Council was held. The new rate of assessment on

real estate and personal property was set nt 2.357.; after consider- able discussion and argument. The rate did not receive the un- animous approval of the Council with Councillors Arthur Gormlcy

and Elmer MacDonald voting against it. The rest. of the Council felt

first it would he an unsound and impossible policy in set the rate at nny lower figure in View of the high expenses. Not. included in the estimated expenditures was the amount of 511,000 which the School Board has npproved for increases in the salaries of City teachers.

The mallrr of it-arhcrs' salaries came in for lengthy discussion. In reading the estimates of ex- penses for the year Coun. John- stone slated that 5136.397 was be- ing estimated for the School Board.

”They recently received a raise or 3175 from the Government and they can retire at 55 which is something that most of us cannot do.
