The plane was being put through its paces for a group of newsmen and Navy officials.

Making a pass over the bay at 300 feet, it suddenly burst into flame, disintegrated and fell into the bay. The XF-2-Y was a jet-propelled sea-based fighter.

He was a Navy fighter and ferry pilot in World War II and had been a test pilot for Convair since July 1951.

He said the subcommittee would interview candidates and leaders of both parties although there had been no charges of misconduct at the request of Sen. Hendrickson (R-NJ), who is retiring.
