As soon as we got out, we reached back in and pulled Dan out of the burning craft. He somehow got his seat belt off. He was completely on fire. We rolled him on the ground and threw sand on him until the flames were out It seemed like a long time. His clothes were completely saturated with gasoline. Suddenly, the pilot gave the ship the gun. He didnt say anything. As we rose away from the ridge again, the craft apparently lost power. We were approximately 30 feet high when it started to spin, then cropped again to the ground. We .saw the pilot, who was in front of us, fighting to try to gain control before the craft hit the ground. It rolled over and over about three times and landed on its top with the four of us hanging from our seat belts. ; Hospital. MINOR INJURIES Two other fire fighters, Randolph P.

DESERET NEWS SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH By ROGER PUSEY . Wednesday, August 13, 1969 B1 ' .

Ritter reached 17 Tuesday. Ten were granted releases Tuesday and seven Monday in some precedent-makin- g cases that probably will wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court. Many of the prisoners claim their constitutional rights sen, Edgar E. Eldredge, Scott O. Andrus,. Clyde Michael Springer, James L. Mower, Larry L. Bronson and Felix Ornelas. The judge said the statute was unconstitutional and patently unjust because it carries a penalty of not more than one year in the county jail or not more than five years in prison. He said the statute gives a judge too much discretion in sentencing a man. Ritter denied the habeas when violated they werent afforded attorneys at their parole revocation hearings. Joseph C. McCarthy, assistant Utah attorney general, is arguing that the inmates lose those rights when convicted of a crime. Departing from tlie parole revocation hearing for a time Tuesday, Ritter released seven inmates who were sentenced under the same Utah statute for issuing insufficient . funds checks. They were Harry L. Han Brent Kurt Duennebell, who was paroled earlier this year and had the parole revoked, , claimed he wasnt represented by an attorney at the parole revocation hearing and.

Henry said Air West Is seeking routes to serve Salt Lake City from Chicago and San Francisco Bay area. Air West, created last year out of a network of smaller regional lines, has had major growing troubles, and asked the board earlier this year to allow it to be taken over by Nevada financier Howard Hughes. Henry said Hughes money could put the struggling line on its feet, and enable it to handle increased ' service to Salt Lake City. Attorneys from Western Air Air Lines and Northwest Lines sharply questioned the ability of Air West to serve Utah, citing schedule problems and lack of financing Negotiations also were continuing in Jordan and Davis districts., , j v v 'i w Y, ; . . . 12,000-15,00- s s V) & . ; 75-fo- ove-flo- JYY" Y's w f-- w g.
