Philippine Herald had declared flatly from his hospital bed that Magsaysay Was killed Gen Douglas MacArthur who knew Magsaysay in World War 11 as a hard-hitting guerrilla officer cabled condolences from New York to Mrs 'Magsaysay on behalf of himself Mrs MacArthur and their 19-year-old son Arthur who was born in the Philippines "Our constant prayers will be with you always" he said Mat3 was quoted by the Philippin3 Nevis Service as saying he lost consciousness when the plane hit but crawled out of the wreckage when he revived A village head man Marcelino Noya found him Litter bearers carried him eight miles over the mountains to a provincial hospital The newspaperman said he had not fastened his safety belt and dozed off shortly after the takeoff He reported he felt the plane had exploded on impact Islanders living in the area said one of the two engines apparently had given the crew trouble The plane called Mount Pina- tuba took off from Cebu in perfect flying weather for the

Jack Chandler reached the scene shortly after 10 they spotted the two bungles In the first place Medford took only seven minutes according to the time the burglary alarms "crack" the safe And when the detectives closed the safe the tumblers fell right in place No safe that's been forced open will be so co-operative Officers called Sumrall to the scene to talk over the robbery The pharmacist who has
