The plane came toward us for a few seconds and then veered to the left. As it made the turn it drop- ped directly into the sea. “My opinion is that the pilot had presence enough of mind to realize that if he kept on the same course he would strike the bath- ing beaches and the motels on the edge of the water.” As soon as the crash came, Rogers looked for a boat, but un- Su pper Sponsored By Paper Group Of Ley Memorial The wastepaper committee of Ley Memorial Methodist Church, | is sponsoring a supper and enter- tainment program on the lawn of the church, Friday, May 4, at 7:30 pm All members, friends and those interested in the paper-drive are ‘cordially invited to attend.

He got there a few minutes after two navy crash boats ar- rived. “I paddled around,” Rogers said, hoping to help any survivors in the water. There were none. All T saw was debris. I saw two wo- mens’ pocketbooks, one man’s wal- let and a passport in a case. Also a building trade union card. I picked these up and turned them over to the Coast Guard rescue crews on the scene.” Rogers said the water was covered with floating bits of clothing, mostly women’s wear and shoes. The crash boats pick- ed up all of this for future identi- fication purposes. “I stayed out there as long as I could,” Rogers said, “but the surf- board started to get soggy, and it looked as if the rescue boats would have to include me, so I started back to shore. A navy boat gave me a tow part of the way from a mile out.” Rogers reported from shore that two heliocopters, 12 navy boats and a blimp were at the scene. He added that two Key West out- board motor boat owners aided in the initial search.
