Kach time a man ' s voice warned , '¦ We ' re going to break Bloeth out of jail. \ Kxlra deputies were call- ed in , and local police were re- quested to make extra patrols . \It was probably the work of a crank , \ Sheriff Charles Dominy said. \However , we didn 't want to take any chances. \ Bloeth is living, eating and sleep ing in an isolated cell , away (ram other inmates.

Mr. Feicht said he identified Hu- man he said had been parked across the street from the restau- rant in a black automobile during the evening from the pictures of Bloeth later published. He said he kept bis eye op the man , and ran to the back of his store to lock the door when he saw him run around the side of the build- ing.

Jets Protested Continued from f-ace 1, this section manager of the Eastern Regional Operations office of the Air Transport Association of America. He said that . ' .tups had been taken with the airlines concerned to establish procedures that would result in the aircraft being ma- terially higher over Bellport than in the past. The ATAA had asked the airlines to operate at a mini- mum altitude of 2 , 500 feet. Thus , matters had been settled as far as Bellport residents were concerned—until new complaints of low flying jets begun coming in. These have since become more demanding since the fatal crash at Calverton Saturday. The Calverton Crash Meanwhile , investiga tors of the Civil Aeronautics board , the Federal Aviation agency a n d American Airlines are sifting through the wreckage of the American Airlines Boeing 707 jet , which hail crashed ami burned lute Saturday afternoon on a potato and cucumber lot in Calver- ton. Only the tail assembly of the huge .$5 , 500 , (100 p lane remained in- tact, as the crash ended a training- flig ht destined for the Grumman airfield at Calverton. There were no passengers aboard. The plane nosed over and down into the field , exploded on impact and blew wreckage over a half-mile radius. It was the first commer- cial jot disfastor. Torn and twisted bits of metal were all that remained of most of the 111-foot long jet. Until the crash , the plane was reported in radio contact with the control tower at the Grummnn field and there were no radioed indications of trouble. The training mission Saturday bad taken the sleek airliner oft its regular commercial passenger runs. A spokesman for tile in- vestigators , who were sent in from the Federal Aviation agency and tnc Civil Aeronautics board , said that not even a guess as to the cause of the tragedy could be ventured at this time. More detailed investigation be- gan Monday alter the preliminary examination Sunday. Police and firemen sealed off the crash area Saturday afternoon but not before more than 1 , 000 spectators bad [loured in. Many of the curiosity seekers carried off bits of wreckage as souvenirs. The dead crewmen were identi- fied as Flight Engineer Arthur Anderson , '10 , of d. 'iO .McCarthy ' s lane , Jericho; Capt. Harry Job , 45 , of -1-17 Hillcrest. road , \ Ridge- wood , N. J.; Capt Fred Jebergalm , 50 , of !». '{(> Via Kincon , 1' alos Vor- des , Calif.; Capt W. T. Swain. ¦!!• , of 1013 Eastwood , Los Altos , Calif.; and Flight Engineer K. A. F reeman , IJti , of !M5 Cronin , Santa Clara , Calif. Airlines officials said Anderson and Job , both married and the fathers of two , were both qualified on the 707. The three California men had flown in from the west coast to qualify. An air- line spokesman said the plane was the fourteenth of lb Boeing 707' s acquired by American and had been in regular use since June 5. The p lane was said to be making the second of two practice land- ings at. about 1:10 p. m. when it went out of control and crashed. Ldwa rd Danowski of Calverton. wlin was operating a cultivator in a potato field , testified that the plane swooped over bis right shoulder going north at a height of several hundred feet , banked to the west, and p lunged to earth. The clash was near the intersection of Route 25 and Edwards avenue. \It was all flames and smoke , \ Danowski said. She exploded after she hit. There was a big liash of flame. I got off the tractor and ran to the wreckage but it was too hot. 1 was forced back. \ The sweetish odor of burning flesh covered the scene when liivcrhcad police , state troopers and district attorney ' s men arrived. Firemen from Wading River , Riverhead , Grumman , the Suffolk Air Force base , Wood- cliffe Park and Manorville turned out in case of possible spreading of the flames. State police roped off the area to bold the more than 1 ,000 specta- tors in check but cars piled up for five miles along Route. 25 as word of the crash spread. David Thompson , CAB chief of safety for the New York region , headed the team of investigators. \As far as 1 know , there were normal communications between the aircraft and the Peconic air- port control tower before the crash . \ he stated. \There was nothing to indicate anything ab- normal prior to the accident. The p lane is pretty well destroyed. There are no large pieces that re- main undamaged. \ Several teams of investigators are sifting the wreckage and questioning wit- nesses . All five of the dead men were identified Sunday. They had ap- parently been killed by the impact of the crash . The crash was the first of a 707 since the 105-passenger p lane s were placed in commercial use last October 25. State police said last night that they had turned a logbook and other papers found at the crash over to the federa l investigators. Removal of Cemetery Stones Prompts Hassle in Stony Bk. STONt BROOK — The removal of a number of headstones from a 130-year-old cemetery here has resulted in the threat of legal action if the Stony Brook Community church board of trustees does not replace them. The headstones were removed as part of a general cleanup, according to a trustee. However , a s> leader of a group of cemetery deed holders declared Monday that the stones had been taken up without notice. She said the matter had been taken to \high church au- thorities , \ and that legal action would be instituted against the board if the stones are not re- placed. Trustee Andrew J. Boylan said that the church board had been considering a cleanup of the cem- etery for the past four or five years. Its action , he said , followed the death of a former board mem- ber , Herbert Preiss , in an auto- mobile accident in December. Mrs. l-reiss requested that her husband be buried in the old cemetery near the church on Christian avenue here , Mr. Boylan said. The trus- tees agreed. About $2 ,500 was contributed in .Mr. Preiss ' name , and Mr. Boylan said the trustees felt that it was essential they do something to clear up the cemetery with that money. He said that the trustees had hired a title searching company to locate all deed holders so that they could be notified before the ceme- tery renovation was begun. \It appears that back in 1823-1840. burial plots were sold on this very ground that we didn 't know any- thing about , \ Mr. Boylan said , \ and we didn ' t notify those peop le of our intentions. \ The cemetery had not been maintained for about 50 years , Mr. Boy lan said , and many of the stones had fallen or beeh dam- aged. He said the headstones were removed last April and piled in a corner of the cemetery and a rec- ord kept of the location of all 202 graves and the ep ita p hs on all stones. Mr. Boy lan stated that some of the stones date back to the 1820' s , and that deedholders have been asked to rep lace the headstones with bronze markers costing $47 apiece. \We were within our rights in taking this step, \ he said. \Some people are very upset but the big majority go along with us. We polled the congregation before taking action. It is our under- standing that under religious cor- poration laws , trustees are em- powered to take any steps neces- sary to keep a church and its grounds in shape. \ Mrs. Chester Conn of Bellport , a former Stony Brook resident , said that she is one of the deed holders who had not been notified of the board' s plans. \We (a group of complainants) are taking our demand that the stones be re- placed to higher church authori- ties , \ she said , \ and will definitely go to court if we don 't get proper action. The church has lost a number of members because of this. \ \This is a private burial ground , \ Mrs. Conn said. \They had no rig ht to do this. \ Stony Brook shoe magnate Ward Melville could not be reached for comment , but Mrs. Melville said he was \ very unhappy about what has happened to one of our landmarks. \ Late News Roundup Westhampton Beach police are investi gating an early Monday morning stick-up at the exclusive Hampton Inn on Beach lane, Westhampton Beach , that netted between $100 and $300 to two hold-up men.
