(AP)-five of six sky divers and their pilot were killed Saturday as their single engine plane carry- ng them on a parachute accuracy drop contest crashed, ex- ilodcd and burned two miles irom their objective. Circling Back The monoplane, powered by a 450-horsepower engine, crashed on a farm field shortly after take-off from the New Hanover Airport. Apparently it was circling to come back for the competitive jump. It was the first flight of the sky-diving meet, canceled after the disaster. Four of the jumpers and the pilot were trapped in the cabin of tho plane and plummeted with it to their deaths.

Another got clear and jumped, but apparently his chute tangled in the tail assembly and failed to open. He hit the grolmd within 35 feet of the burning wreckage. The sixth diver survived, leaping from the disabled craft as it spun earthward. He jumped from an altitude of 500 feet and landed safely, uninjured but badly shaken by the rflgedy. Jump Master The plane was piloted by Jim Kiesling, 33, Willow Grove, veteran pilot and father ol ive children.

The surviving umpcr was Walker D. Mc- Jraw, 28, a Navy man attached the Naval Air Station al akehurst, N.J., and designated the jumpmaster on this light, first of a score schedulee or the meet which included uch events as delayed jumps. 'In the plane were three fellow lavy jumpers and two civilian umpers. The Navy men were dentified as Alva McBride, 23 Thomas L. Botdorf, 21, and Ronald L.

Claihorne Pell, D- R.I., said was frozen into U.S. policy by "the McCarthy holocaust" of a decade ago. There is some feeling among its supporters that the commission proposal might offer the Johnson administration an opportunity to expand further its recent efforts to establish contacts with Peking while minimizing the political liability for all concerned.

Use Restraint Still, there is an atmosphere of restraint at the Post Office, conditioned partly by the liberal view the Supreme Court has taken of publications themselves and partly by the reality that the 10,058 inspectors in the 50 states and territories responsible for guarding against mail fraud, theft and the like, as well as obscenity, can cover just so much ground.

April Record For New Mexico General Fmid Market Has Scouts Pitch In To Clean Up Beer Cans Four Boy Scouts from Troop 71 took Cleanup Week seriously and decided to do something about it on iheir own. Scouts' Names They are Kichard and Steve- Craft, Arnold Zamora a Robert Christopher. These four Scouts picked up 1,300 beer cans in an area extending from Hentfrow to Lynn Junior High School and sacked them up for disposal. Tliey did it after school hours each day last week.

Only Beginning While being justly commended on their fine work, a discouraging note was tjirown in when they reported this was only the I beginning of the work that was iccded to clean up all the discarded cans they taw.

Look Taken At Bond Act SANTA FE (AP) A new nterim legislative committee, aking a hard look at the con- Contractor's Bonding Act, has heard a suggestion that the law's bonding provision bo done away with as an initial requirement for licensing. 'Vflcr Trouble W.

H. Wolfe of Roswell, chairman of the Contractors Licensing Board, suggested to the committee Friday that a possi-' ble solution might be to require a contractor to become bonded only after he got into financial trouble. Another board member called before the committee, Bill Stuckman of Albuquerque, said he favored some kind of protection for the public in its dealings with contractors but that he was not sure the bonding provision was the answer. Written Form Sen. I.

M. Smalley, D-Luna, asked the board members to put their recommendations into written form for later presenta- tion to the committee. The 1965 act required New Mexico contractors to present a bond as a prerequisite to being licensed by the state. The law caused immediate protest, particularly by smaller contractors who contended it was driving them out of business.
