52 Bodies Removed
From Utah Crash Site
CAB Presses Probe
By the Associated Press
: BRYCE CANYON, Utah, Oct. 2ί
-Sober-faced workmen and offlcal
removed torn and burned bodies to
day from a canyon rim where ι
flaming iour-enlgne sky giant fel
yesterday and 52 persons perished
Promising that the investigatioi
would go Into minutest detail to fln<
the cause of the United Air Line:
DC-6 crash, James R. Peyton, regi
onal Civil Aeronautics Board in
vestigaior from Los Angeles, said
"Our investigation likely will con
tinue for weeks."
Fire broke out in the baggage com
partment of the Los Angeles-to-Nev
York plane carrying 47 passenger;
and a crew of five. Pilot E. L. Mac·
Millen of Balboa Park, Calif., fle?
beyond the scenic canyon, ther
radioed he was turning back t<
land here.
Explosion Time Conjectural.
Whether the craft exploded in thi
air or as it struck ground was ί
subject of conjective. Offlcal invest
igators kept silent pending a report
to the Civil Aeronautics Board il
Washington. The plane crashec
1,500 yards from an emergency
landing field just after clearing i
200-foot deep canyon.
This small settlement in Southerr
Utah filled today with onlookers ant
scores of officials representing th<
CAB, Civil Aeronautics Authority
United Air Lines, Douglas Aircraf
Co., maker of the plane, and thi
National Park Service which ha;
charge of the canyon park.
examined burned wreckage, th<
bodies, most nf them unrecogniz
able. were released to air line of·
ficlals. In a morgue at, Richfield
100 miles north, otf here, attempt;
at identification began.
There was no inquest. The cor
oner, Hans P. Ipeon. noted onlj
that the crash caused the death;
and left the rest to Federal anc
air line officials.
Currency, papers and clothe;
were widely strewn with the shat
tered wreckage. Postal inspector;
picked up scattered mail.
Largest piece of the plane still
intact was a tail section eight bj
15 feet.
Wreckage Widely Scattered.
Reporters who had covered ma.jot
crashes in mountainous Utah saic
they never saw wreckage scattered
so widely and so many bodies un
identifiable. Two of the victim?
were infants; a score or more were
women, one an expectant mother
Employes of the Civil Aeronautic;
Authority at the airport here and
residents of Tropic, 5 miles away
rushed to the flaming scene yester
day, but their hand fire extinguish
ers had little effect on the flames
The mangled bodies were wrapped
in large pieces of canvas and car
ried to the nearby airport, by truck,
then flown to Richfield where rela
tives began assembling to claim
them.
Authorities requested relatives tc
remain out of the crash area.
Cordon Placed About Scene.
Tourists from nearby Bruce Can
yon congregated in the crash area,
but a cordon of officers was placed
around the scene and kept the
curious at a distance. Before the
guard was established., however, sev
eral persons attempted to carry
away pieces of wreckage. They
were reprimanded and ordered to
replace the metal.
Douglas Aircraft ordered a sister
ship of the ill-fated plane flown
here in an attempt to match the
pieces to further the investigation.
Scores of persons who live in the
drnyon villages of Tropic, Cannon
\*ille and others reported they saw
th#* nlnnp in trnnhlo ns it, hpnHpri
for the emergency landing strip
here. They agreed the fire was un
der the left wing, but was spread
ing. None, however, witnessed the
actual crash .because the plane
cleared the rim before it plowed into
the soft earth. Scores saw the
flames shoot up, they said.
House Member to Press
For His Parachute Bill
By th· AslocioteH Ργμι
LANCASTER. 8. C., Oct. 25.
Representative Richards, Democrat
of Sout^h Carolina, in commenting
on the Utah plane crash whicli
killed 52 persons yesterday, said to
day he would press for passage o)
his bill which would require all com
mon carrier passenger planes to bf
equiped with parachutes.
"All, or most of those people could
have been saved," he said.
"The plane was seen to be on fire
for many miles and there was plenty
of time for parachutes to be put on
and used had they been available.'

DC-6 Wrecked in Utah
ι One of 8Q Huge Planes
In Regular Service
By the Associated Press
The United Airlines DC-6 which
■ carried 52 to their deaths Friday
1 at Bryce Canyon, Utah, was one
of 80 of the huge ships In regular
service on the Nation's air routes.
Since the first demonstration pas
senger flight last March 29 in which
a DC-6 set a transcontinental speed ;
record, the Douglas model has built.;
up a record of more than 8,000.000
air miles in commercial service. The
7.000.000th'mile was passed about a
month ago. Test flights were logged
at about 600.000 miles before the
plane was put in passenger opera
tion.

inn the DC-4 which contributed to
the npwpr nlanp.
Files 300 Mile* an Hour.
It is the fastest of the present
day commercial planes, cruising a
littie above 300 miles an hour or
about 100 miles faster than the
DC-4. Its four Pratt & Whitney
"2.800" engines, similar to a military
model extensively used during the
war. can turn out as much a* 2,400
horsepower each at takeoff.
The big ship has been certified
by the Civil Aeronautics Board to
carry 52 passengers plus crew.
Allowable takeoff weight is 84,000
pounds, Wing span is 117 feet 6
inches, and fuselage length is 100
j feet 7 inches, about 80 inches more
than in the DC4. The tanks will
hold 2.577 gallons of gasoline, and
'the makers figure its range at]
4,000 miles.
Ceiling 29.000 Feet.
The ship's service ceiling when
loaded is above 29,000 feet. It eus- !
tomarily is flown around 18,000 feet,!

Under CAB rules, however, all such
