When sky giant caught fire, lost an engine, Pilot Jack Stanford, Dallas, landed it in a southwest Kansas wheat field. (Associated Press Wirephoto) One Hurt in Flaming Crash Of Four-Engine Airliner HUGOTON, Kas. UP—“The only sensible thing to do was land.” That was the only comment from Chief Pilot Jack Stanford who helped land a flaming airliner with 49 persons aboard in a wheat field yesterday. Only one passenger was injured. The Braniff Airlines' DC-4 came down with one of its four engines gone and a wing in flames. The landing was perfect. Minutes after the 44 passengers and five crew members scurried out, flames consumed virtually the entire plane. Neither Stanford nor Co-Pilot John Beakley, both of Dallas, Tex., would take credit for an extraordinary job. They had little to say. But O. R. Stites, an Oklahoma City lawyer who was a passenger, described the landing “as smooth as any I've ever seen.” He gave this description: “I was sitting on the right side about two seats back of the wing when I noticed fire around the right inboard engine. I called the stewardesses and they went forward to tell the captain (Stanford). “他 came back, took one quick look and told us to fasten our safety belts. Then he banked the plane to put the stress on the opposite wing and started down. I juried we were about 6000 feet” Filing Deadline Approaches for Primary Ballot Orange county's primary election ballot was taking shape today as the final day for filing candidate's nomination petitions approached. The filing deadline is 5 p.m. tomorrow. The past 24 hours was somewhat unproductive of candidates, only two making their appearance in the campaign. There was the possibility, however, that some surprise candidacies would be disclosed on the last day, which officials said frequently happens. R. B. White, general contractor of Westminster, late yesterday took out nomination papers for the Assembly, 75th district, expecting to file on both party tickets. Already filed for that office are Glenn McCloud of Anaheim, former Republican County Central committee chairman; LeRoy Office Building Started Next to Chamber Office Work has begun on construction of a one-story modern office building on the vacant proper adjacent to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce building. "Anaheim Realty Board Meets" Anaheim City Recreation Director Don Derr was guest speaker this morning at the regular breakfast meeting of Anaheim Realty Board. Derr spoke on Anaheim's parks and recreation program and on the coming civic beautification contest being sponsored by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. All members of the board were urged to attend the joint Chamber of Commerce-Lions club luncheon tomorrow noon when George Steller of Steller and Rouse Advertising agency of Los Angeles and other speakers will discuss Anaheim's housing situation. It was announced that the Orange County Title Co. of Santa Ana will be host to board meeting April 10, at which escrow procedures will be discussed.

Proctor Defense Holds Another Man Beat Mrs. Schindler to Death Jurors in the Troy Proctor murder trial today visited the scene of the alleged crime, the Proctor apartment at Newport Beach, where the defendant is accused of having fatally beaten Mrs. Dorothy Schindler, 37, who lived with him. The visit, by accident, turned up evidence which the defense claimed would help its case. That evidence was a closet filled with women's clothing. The clothing, said defense attorneys, would bear on a point raised regarding Mrs. Schindler's moral character and the possibility that another man might have been with her in the apartment during Proctor's absence on the day she died, last Aug. 25. The defense had introduced testimony that when Proctor and surprise candidacies would be disclosed on the last day, which officials said frequently happens. R. B. White, general contractor of Westminster, late yesterday took out nomination papers for the Assembly, 75th district, expecting to file on both party tickets. Already filed for that office are Glenn McCloud of Anaheim, former Republican County Central committee chairman; LeRoy Lyon, Jr., of Fullerton, Navy Reserve officer and Frank Rospaw, Placentia newspaper publisher. Markel Thompson, Orange attorney, took out nomination papers for the office of Judge of Santa Ana-Orange municipal court. Mrs. Schindler quarreled over another man, Henry Goff, at a party in the neighboring Neil Goum apartment the night before, it was because the woman had been guilty of lewd manipulation of his dress. The prosecution countered with testimony that this could not have occurred because Mrs. Schindler was wearing peddle-pusher slack Detective Sgt. John Upson of the Newport Beach police department testified that he had searched the Proctor apartment next day and found no women's clothing except the slacks. Then, today, the jury found a whole closet full of femine attire. Another stroke by the defender late yesterday was the introduction of a tape recording of Proctor's statement to Newport Beach (Continued on Page 7) NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1952 Trans-America Combine Breakup Ordered by Board WASHINGTON (UP)—The Federal Reserve Board voted 3 to 2 today to order a breakup of the TransAmerica Corporation's big banking empire in five western states. The majority found that the corporation—which controls even billion dollars in bank deposits and half the bank loans in California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Arizona—tends to "lessen competition and restrain commerce." In a minority dissent, James K. Vardaman, Jr., said the record "fails to warrant or sustain" such a conclusion. Further, Vardaman charged, the board's hearing officer in the case "arbitrarily and unfairly discriminated against TransAmerica." Board member Oliver S. Powell joined Vardaman in the dissent. Chairman William W. Martin, Jr., M. S. Szymczak and R. M. Evans, the hearing officer, made up the majority. Martin said the order will direct TransAmerica to dispose of its assets.

Angry comments about the proposed steel workers' pay boost, intended to avert a crippling strike, whipped up gales of opposition. Chairman Maybank (D-SC) is pushing the Senate Banking committee to get its extension bill on to the Senate floor. But progress was suspended until next week after Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) officials entered a hurried protest on tentative Senate committee actions. One was a vote to revise the Herlong amendment which last year assured retailers and wholesalers of historic profit percentages, or margins, on price ceilings fixed "hereafter." President Truman and price control officials have been pushing for repeal of the Herlong amendment, saying it is inflationary. An attempt to kill it was hastened 10 to 3 BLOODHOUNDS GIVEN SCENT—An Everett, Mass., policeman gives a bloodhound the scent of three men who used this stolen car to flee Danvers, Mass., with $600,000 looted from an armored car. Witnesses in Everett, not knowing of the robbery, said they had seen men "shifting large bundles" from this car to another which sped away, presumably toward Boston.—(Associated Press photo) Armored Car Robbery Probe Hits Employees, Gangsters DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — FBI agents today began a roundup of all former employees of the U.S. Trucking Corp., one of whose armored trucks was robbed of $681,000 in Danvers Square Tuesday while its three guards sipped coffee about 20 feet away. The Federal Bureau of Investigation maintained an official silence on the matter, but the information was divulged by a source close to the investigation. The source, who asked that his name not be used, said he believes the FBI hopes to determine if one of the former employees kept a key to the truck when he left the employ of the armored car service or divulged how a key could be obtained. At the same time, Boston police swooped down on all known gangsters—"petty and big-time alike"—and made them account for their time Tuesday forenoon. Boston police took that action after it was revealed the keys to the company's armored trucks were kept in an unlocked drawer just inside the entrance of a garage in Boston's north end. Some police officers have expressed the opinion there might be a connection between the Citrus Market Sunkist Growers, Inc., reported today all auction markets California oranges were lower.
