Then there were three or four explosions, and I could see a four-engine coming down out of control: "In the light of the fire I also saw a single-engine plane coming down out of control. "The big plane. was burning all the way down- one engine after another kept bursting into flames. When it hit--it couldn't have been more than a mile from me- there was a tremendous burst of fire that spread flames all over the area." FRANKLIN, a private pilot, said he saw the singleplane only a short time before it went out of sight. "It looked as though the starboard wing of the engine plane was clipped off," he One witness, Kenny Hull, said he was in front of a by super-market when he saw the wreckage hurtle into the parking lot across the street.

"My wife and five kids were in our station wagon beside the market and I didn't stay around to he said. "The flames were roaring high around that fuselage and it was getting mighty hot. Just as the fuselage hit, I saw that wing come sailing in."

A.M. TO MIDNIGHT L.a.C. Saus: 'Soil Bank' Checks (Continued From Page A-1.) means I will have $80.000. Now these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100.000 bushels of corn. So will you pay me for not raising 100,000 bushels of com not to feed the hogs I am not raising? That may seem like a joke but it is far from the attitude encourage over the past 20 years in our hopeless efforts to solve the farm surplus 1 problem.

It is a reminder of the early days of the New Deal when 13 million little pigs were slaughtered and ploughed under to hold up farm prices. The crops result was disastrous because it has grown into a thoroughly unsound system which has resulted in even greater insolvable surplus and a drain of billions of dollars a year on taxpayers. Some of the fantastic payments to farmers of large acreages is shown in a U. S. News chart.

For joining the "soil bank" and agreeing to take land out of production in the last crop season 67 farms in the U. S. received government checks of more than $50,000 each. The 10 largest payments, the farms and crops involved were as follows: $278.187.38, Garvey Farms, Colby. wheat; $209.701.80, Harris Ranches, Sahuarita, cotton; $138,122.20, Ray Flanagan; Red Top, cotton and rice: 107.45: Tierra Prieta Ranch, Eloy, cotton: 442.88, Sutter Basin Corporation, Robbins, wheat and rice: $125,942.50, Westlake Farms, Stratford, cotton: $124.378.80, Robert Pelletier, Bakersfield, cotton; $120.088.50, J.

H. Williams, Natchitoches, cotton; $107,200, Crews Farm, Pecos. cotton; $103.411.02, Vista Del Llano, Firebaugh, wheat. There is little hope that this problem will be settled in the near future. Over the next 10 to 20 years our population increase will take care of the present surplus production.

But it is an example of how once an unsound program is started it is rarely ever dropped. The pressure from the mid- west farm states is too great to drop subsidies upon which they haye come to be dependent. During the past five years over $13 billion of surplus has been sold at cut prices or given away, yet there is now over $7 billion' of surplus farm products crowding our warehouses. Over $7.5 billion has been spent on a wide variety. of plans to "stabilize" farm income yet our farm income has dropped from $2,789 in 1953 to $2.430 in 1957.

Under the "soil bank" a billion. dollars has been paid, to reduce production yet during that period crops have equaled past records. It is one reason the Republicans will have a hard time in the farm states of the Middle West. It will make little difference that the problem was not met by the New -Fair Deat administration. The Republicans have done no better.

It seems an insolvable problem. But because it is not solved the Republicans can expect little from the farmers in this year's A. C.

WASHINGTON (P) -Harold E. Stassen said Saturday reports that he would be fired as President Eisenhower's disarmament adviser if he didn't resign were "absolutely not correct."

Explorer's Fuel New and Hotter CANOGA PARK (P) The fuel that sent the satelliterying Jupiter-C thundering into, space is a secret blend of chemicals never before used for highthrust rocket engines. The new fuel, called Hydyne, was developed in only six months in a crash research program started by Rocketdyne, builder of the engine that powthe Army's huge ballistic missile. Only information being given out about the fuel is that it is a hydrazine based compound with properties that nearly duplicate those of alcohol.

Hydrazine itself is a compound, a col-1 orless, corrosive liquid derived from nitrous acid. ROCKETDYNE officials say Hydyne increases the thrust and range of the Redstone engine by 12 per cent over conventional fuels used in the Army's missile program. The company said Hydyne is "a unique blending of two commercially available chemicals that never before had been used at the high thrust levels of rocket engines." Specifications for luthe compound blend have made available to commercial chemical firms for quantity production of the fuel. Posse Stalking Police Kidnaper PADUCAH. (P) -Police from three states, with orders to shoot to kill if necessary, surrounded this western Kentucky city Saturday night and tracked three or four gunmen who kidnaped a Missouri state trooper in his police car.

The auto's movements in the city were watched, but officers at first held off any attempt to halt the car for fear of the trooper's life. Police were in communication with 'the car over the police radio. The men inside it and Trooper William Little of Troop at Willow Springs, asked for a 30-minute period grace. But after that ended, police were ordered to get the car. Col.

Hugh Waggoner, head of the Missouri highway patrol, said he had ordered Missouri patrol cars to follow the kidnap vehicle into Kentucky and aid in capturing it. He said he ordered them to shoot to kill if necessary. LITTLE WAS abducted four miles east of Van Buren, on U.S. 60. Police were alerted in Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky.

They tracked the car until it "Is America Living Up to World Leadership?" HEAR Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt Presented by Long Beach Chapter, American Association for the United Nations, and Long Unitarian Forum Millikan High Auditorium Tuesday, Feb. 11, 8 P. M.

arrived in Paducah after getting through roadblocks set up farther south and east in Kentucky. Police cars from Illinois, Mis-and Kentucky ringed Paducah, setting up roadblocks at all out-going roads. Other cars followed the Missouri patrol car as it skittered through back streets, cruising around the city. The kidnapers were in radio communication with police over the stolen patrol car radio. TROOPER LITTLE also spoke to the authorities over the radio, asking for 30 minutes' grace.

He did, not explain why he asked it. The thugs had warned officers to "hold off," indicating they might kill the trooper. HAROLD E. STASSEN Governorship Eyed Atomic Brown Proposal SAN FRANCISCO UP) A for a "California Space Age, Atomic and Electronics Fair" was sounded Saturday by State Atty. Gen.
