AL'SJIADIO SERVICE Father of Flier With Negro Pile ANNISTON, Dec. 18 (U.P.)-- A grieving father, whose son was killed when two planes--one of them pi'-' oted by a negro collided, com- plained bitterly today that the youth's life was sacrificed to "the fanatical idea that all men must be allowed to perform on the same level, regardless of background qua ifications."

Knowlton, son of a prominent Anniston business man, was killed near Charleston, S. when his B-24 bomber and a P-38 fighter, piloted by the negro, collided in the air- Members of both crews 13 men in all were killed. "I knew that my boy might have to give his life for his country," the elder Knowlton wrote to The An- niston Star, "but I expected it to accomplish some useful purpose." Knowlton said that he did not slame the negro, because he was ordered to fly his plane. "But wiUi all my heart," he added, "I resent our government's apparent determination to raise the negro overnight as it to a place in civilization which he is as yet un- prepared to assume." His letter, he emphasized, was not one of hate but one of "deep resent- nent" at the government's attitude "toward an unnatural and impossi- ble sudden elevation of the negro to duties he is not yet qualified to per- form.

rare exceptions his mind Is not prepared to make the split sec- ond decisions which mean life or death in the operation of so swift and so complicated and so deadly a mechanism as an airplane."
