NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IS THE DAILY SEVENTY.PODBTH YEAB VOL. IXSmm. 141 Thursday, July 20,1967 Jet, Private Plane tt Crash; 82 Dead New Navy Secretary, Family Among Victims; No Survivors HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. One witness s aid there were two AkV) — The newly named sec-1 big sections \and a thousand retary of the Navy, business j little pieces\ as plane parts, executives, their wives and at least 10 children were among 82 persons killed in the flaming collision of a big jet airliner and a small private plane. A spokesman for the Federal Aviation* Administration said the small twin-engine private plane \was about 12 miles south of where it should have been,\ in the crash Wednesday over western North Carolina moun- tains. Wreckage and bodies show- ered down over a wide stretch of the resort area near the city of Hendersonville in the Blue Ridge foothills. The main part of the airliner missed a crowded youth camp by only 50 yards. No one on either plane sur- vived. There apparently was no warning before the crash, wit- nesses said. The smaller craft swept out of the mountain haze and ripped a huge gash in the airliner's side. Th € smaller plane blew up, some of it welded to the fuse- lage of the bigger craft. The collision occured at 12:01 p.m., just three minutes after the Piedmont Airlines 727, carrying 74 passengers and a cre w of five, took off from the Asheville airport en route from Atlanta to Washington. The smaller plane, a Cessna 310 heading for Asheville, car- ried two Missouri businessmen and its pilot. John T. McNaughton, 46, who •was scheduled to become secre- tary of the Navy in about two weeks; his wife, Sarah, and their 11-year-old son, Theodore, were aboard the airliner. Theo- dore had been attending a sum- mer camp, and his parents had come to take him back to Wash- ington. The about 30 food brokers from bodies and luggage plummeted to earth, about two miles from Hendersonville, about 20 miles from Asheville. \The little plane just gave a jerk upward just belore they hit,\ said Clarence Hyder, 35, a Hendersonville sign painter. Aboard the smaller plane, in addition ±o Addison, were Ralph Reynolds, about 40, vice presi- dent of T^ansair, Inc., owner of the craft, and Robert E. Ander- son, about 42, a consultant for Community Development Con- sultants, Inc. both of Spring- field,-Mo.' An FAA spokesman said the small plane had taken off from Charlotte, about 100 miles east of Asheville, at 10 a.m. Its flight plan required it to proceed to a beacon about seven miles north- west of Asheville, then report to the Asheville airport for landing instructions. Roberts said the Cessna did not radio the tower for landing clearance. Wreckage from the airliner came down near Camp Pine- wood, a resident summer camp for boys and girls 6 to 16 years of age. Counsellors first herded their charges to safety, some <^f them hiding under overturned canoe* in the camp lake to escape the falling debris. passenger^ included across the country. They had gathered in Atlanta and Ashe- ville for the flight to White Sul- phur Springs, W.Va., for a con- vention of the Stokely Van Camp Co. Hours after the crash, a team of investigators from the Na- tional Transportation Safety Board, headed by ex-Gov. John H. Reed of Maine, recovered the airliner's flight and voice re- corders. He said both instru- ments appeared to be intact. They wer e sent to Washington for study. Harold Roberts, FFA tower chief at the Asheville airport, said the small plane, piloted by Dave Addison, about 40, of Leb- anon, Mo., was on an instru- ment flight plan. But he added the plane was about 12 miles south of where it should have been. Witnesses said the airliner pilot, Capt/R.F. Schulte of Nor- folk, Va., father of four girls, apparently attempted to avoid the collision, then fought to con- trol the huge craft after the im- pact. Losing power quickly, he aeemed to be trying to make it t o nearby Interstate Route 26, a four-lane artery where an emer- gency landing might have been possible. But the airliner came apart. Fishermen Found After Bein^ Lost Three fishermen from Red- ford were found this morning at 10 a.m. by bloodhounds from th e Malone barracks under the command of Trooper Suffolk. They were all in good condi- tion after spending the night in the woods in the Wolf Pond ar- ea off the Goldsmith Road. The ien Vere Wilmer Miner, 36, Michael Manner, 22, and a ten- year-old youngster, Jeffrey Mi- ler. They had gone into the woods about, 7 p.m. last night and were \lost in coming out after dark.

THE FRESH AIR FUND brought Cathy Bristol a new friend Tuesday: Charles Brown, age 9, of Brooklyn. Charlie was a little disconcerted at first be- cause he had to spend two weeks with a s chool teacher, Mr. Robert; Mensink of Tupper Lake. Cathy was quick to assure him that he wouldn't be going to school. (Volkman Photo) During Its First Year Total Cost Is $461 Million But $738 Million Seen Next Year ALBANY, N.Y; (AP)-An esti- mated 1,500,000 people received benefits costing $461 million dur- ing the first year of the medicaid program in New York the provisions of medical care to those who need,\ the com- missioner added. Wyman said the medicaid pro- gram \has already proved itself JWWf Two New Highways, Bond Issue, Long Holidays Get Area Support State, the stale social services!and provided the foundation lor commissioner announced today. a permanent medical program George K. Wyman, in a report [o r ^ p^pie of the state.\ summing up the state program's; During the first year o* opera- first year of operation, s aid that; tj on / which began May 1, 1966, 2.3 million persons were author- j paym ents for various services jzed to receive benefits. This in-' eluded about on e million welfare recipients automatically cov- ered. At the same time, Wyman said it was estimated that medicaid spending for this fis- cal year, which ends next March 3H, would climb to $738 million for treatment of 2.9 million peo- ple in the state. The state's share of the cost is estimated at $250.6 million; federal $276.9 million, and local, -210.5 million. The report includes variou s criticisms of the program from physicians, dentists, hospitals, druggists and local welfare com- missioners. Among them are complaints about excessive paperwork, de- lay in obtaining payment, sub- standard fees, unclear rules and abuse of the program. A chief criticism, as' it has been in the past, is that the eli- gibility level is too liberal. Doc- tors and some local welfare commissioners suggest more re- strictive eligibility and co-insur- ance provisions whereby pa- tients would pay some of the cost from insurance programs. The report also listed numer- ous cases in which medicaid had rescued from financial disaster families suddenly confronted with huge medical costs. Wyman said that many of the problems connected with admin- istration of the program, includ- ing delays in payment and fee schedulet, remain to be solved Support for Governor Rocke- feller's - $2.5 billion bond issue for transportation, for two new four-lane highways in the North Country and for a Monday holiday bill came from an all- day conference in Massena yes- terday on the area's transpor- tation problems. The meeting was sponsored by the North Country Econom- ic and Cultural Conference (NCBOC) and was chaired by Jts president, James E. Brett of ,Watertown. The two new highways are (1) the so-called Nu-Way from the Ogdensburg Bridge through Utica and into Binghamton and which would connect Route 81 with the Adirondack Northway, Route 87, and would parallel the St. Lawrence River. The Monday holiday bill, whose principal supporters in Congress are Sen. George A. J6mathers of Florida and Rep. Samuel S. Strattoh of Schenec- tady, would schedule the < prin- cipal American holidays on Mondays and, by providing for long weekends, would benefit tourism.

A number of speakers urged support for the $2.5 billion bond issue. It was e x p 1 a ined by Clarkson that $.1-25 billion of the total , or one-half, would be used for highways, $1 billion for bus, commuter trains, and sub- way transportation, and the rest for airports and air travel.
