...Ferdinand (The Great Impostor) Demara blew into Hollywood three weeks ago for his first movie, The Hypnotic Eye, Producer Charles Bloch and Allied Artists' Pressagent Ted Bonnet were at the airport to meet his plane. One by one, the passengers filed down the ramp-but no Demara. The stewardess said that Ferdinand had indeed been on the New York-Hollywood flight, but he seemed to have disappeared. Just as Producer Bloch turned to walk away, a bulky man dressed like a pilot tapped him on the shoulder: "You looking for a guy named Demara?" "Yes," replied Bloch, "we sure...

Live ones, after a 135-m.p.h. plunge into freezing water and the swift current, were few. First Officer Frank S. Hlavacek, 33, clung weakly to a crumpled wing. Passenger Robert Sullivan, 8, bobbed to the surface with his dying mother, looked vainly for his father and two sisters. Stewardess Joan Zeller, 21, floated limp and badly injured. Despite the rescuers' heroic toil, there were only eight survivors -five passengers and three crew. The others-65 in all-died in the crash...
