In the medium bomber category, it was designed to cruise at 40,000 i feet, carry a payload (which could i atomic! bombs) and operate from waterways virtually anywhere in the world. The Navy said, its primary missions were minelaying and photographic reconnaissance. Some regarded the rugged seaplane as a possible airframe for nuclear-powered engines.

Wayne R. Arnold, .34, chairman of the Ridgefleld Zoning commission, received fatal injuries Nov. 13. A toxicological report indicated, Coroner Edgar W. Krentzman said, that the lieutenant commander was under the influence of liquor when an auto he was driving collided with a car operated by Arnold at Wilton road west, Wilton road and Main street.

Dr. Arnold, a physicist who resided in Wilton, road west, Ridge- fleld, died in Norwalk hospital Nov. 15, of a skull fracture and a brain laceration received in the accident, according to the coroner's finding. The physical evidence at the scene indicated that Comdr. Johnson crossed the center of the highway line and struck the Arnold car on its own side of the road, Coroner Krentzman declared.

"Further," reads the finding in part, "there is evidence from the toxicologicftl report of" the blood sample taken from Johnson, with his consent, within approximately two or three hours after the accident, to indicate that Johnson was under the influence of intoxicating beverages at the time of the accident." Dr. Arnold, a native of Kansas City and a graduate of the University of Chicago, was employed by the Schlumberger Wells Surveying corporation. He had worked in laboratories at Los Alamos, N. and wrote articles for science magazines. He had lived in Ridge- fleld since 1953."
