Show Page 10 The Utah Independent December 6, 1973 WATERGATE PLANE CRASH AND THE COVER-U- P Inquiry into the above question demands an examination of some financial and political factors. For one thing. United Airlines is owned by, principally, the Bank of New York. Who owns The Rockefellers. Who owns President Nixon (according to many very astute political observers)? The Rockefellers. There is the Financial connection with political implications. Now for the political connection. Who has complete dictatorial control over the vast billion dollar United Airlines? President Nixon, of course, through control of the FAA and CAB. These two agencies can make or break any airline in a few months. The CAB, for example, has dictatorial power over the routes every airline can fly. It can deny permission to fly any route in the country. It can grant very lucrative routes to some airlines and give the to others. It can also revoke routes certain airlines have been operating over for years. Does this constitute political muscle? DOES THIS CONSTITUTE POLITICAL MUSCLE!!! There is, without any shadow of a doubt, sufficient political muscle to force an airline into cooperating with the executive branch of the government to cover up an aircraft sabotage or anything else. One of the strangest transfers was that of Dwight L. Chapin, Nixons appointment secretary. Five weeks after the crash, Chapin became a top executive with United Airlines. During the subsequent public hearings, as related to this writer by Mr. Skolnick, United Airlines officials vehemently denied the possibility of sabotage. They agreed with the official NTSB report that the crash was due entirely to pilot error. Even if the evidence had weighed heavily to supporting the theory of pilot error, why wouldn't United Airlines be interested in exhausting every effort to determine whether there was any possibility of sabotage? Certainly, it would have been better for their public image for the public to know that their aircraft had been sabotaged than for them to believe that the crash occurred solely because of the incompetence of one of their highly-traine- d captains. Also, if it could be proven that the crash was caused by sabotage rather than pilot error, it would have probably saved them millions in the future on their insurance rates. Also, their liability in settling the claims of the dead and injured passengers of flight 553 would have been decreased considerably. Almost every factor would have been in United's favor to have had the crash proven to be caused by sabotage rather than pilot blunder. Then, why their almost fanatical position, according to Skolnick. to the supposition that it was pilot error? MORE PUBLIC EXPOSURE DEMANDED The facts surrounding the crash of flight 553 demand more public exposure. If it is proven that the government agencies definitely suppressed information involved in the g from top to crash, we need to have a bottom.

A second lawsuit, also in excess of $1 million, is expected to be filed shortly in U.S. District Court in Fresno, alleging that bank and Bakersfield office of IRS violated plaintiffs' civil rights. Webster acknowledged the suit, with himself and Renfro acting as their own attorneys, is a test case.
