OTTAWA, June 11 - (OP) - A whining jet-propelled Vampire, practising s. high-speed roll for the annual RQAJ‘. air show, to- day spunwlidiy and plunged into ground at nearby nockclifie Air-

port.

Its pilot. 25-year-old I'D. ILA. Hodgins of Campbell's Bay, Que, wee killed as the plane struck the field and burst into flame.

‘This was the lint time in 0on- ads. that a Vanspire hed crashed, killing its pilot.

Eye witnesses said the craft. one ct bwo Vampires in the skies, soared aver the R.C.A.F. experim- ental and proving station at 4:45 P.M.. E.D.T. The plane had circled the field several times. Thdn‘, as the pilot. began a roll close _to the ground, the plane developed a spin and nosedived into the field.

Bursting into flame, the Vam- pire was completely destroyed. Bits of wreckage were strewn civer 100 yards.

The pkme crashed some distance horn the main portion of the RC.- Al". station but within the air- field boundaries. It was witnessed by many R.C.A.F. personnel. One, RV. Dodde. public relations offic- er. gave this version:

"He (the pilot) had made sever- al flights around the station when he went into a roll. Ide hod Just. started it when the plane develop- ed a spin and went into the ground. It caught fire at once."

Eycwitnesses estimated the plane's speed at about 400 miles an hour. They were‘ uncertain of its eititude when it went. out of con- trol but said that it was “really low."

It was the second crash of a ser-i rice plane in Canada today. A Royal Navy See. Hornet crashed at Halifax earlier in the day. kill- int-thepilot-

It was announced that the fire will put the hotel out of business for a. time. Plans for providing other kitchen facilities were not announced.

Accommodation Seen Greatest Need In Field

(By Douglas llow) OTTAWA, June i1-(CP)—'f‘rade Minister Howe. engaging in g gom. mons’ debate on Canada's $230,000.- 000 tourist trade, said today the Government is considering s. scheme to finance tourist. estab- lishments in selected areas.

The Minister joined with Pro- gressive Conservative members in. agreeing that; the Dominica's chief problem in this field is riot allure but accommodation.

He did not join, however, with G. R. Webb (PC-Leeds) and J, W. Murphy (PC-Lambton West) in their contention that a commission or a. separate ministry should be established to handle t rist busi- ness. and that D. Leo Ian, head of the Travel Bureau. should be raised to the status of deputy iriln- istcr. The Minister thought Mr. Dolans "aggressive department" was doing all right now.

Percy Black (PC - Cumber- land) said more should be spent on the development of tourist re- sorts in the Mnritkne Provinces, where tourist attractions are un- equalled.

W. Chester S. McUlPe (PC Queens) suggested the Govern- ment improve roads to Prince Ed- vraa-d Island's National Park.

Buyers and exhibitors came to Toronto from all parts of the world —- some are leaving in high elation, some in dlsappointiment.

In Fair circles it is estimated that 60 per cent of this year's ex- hibitors will come ‘again. many with demands for increased space; 40 per cent may not. return but the fair expects them to be more than replaced by new exhibitors.

Some samplings oi opinion give hlgiher ratios. Of the first 8'1 ex- hibitors to reply to a questionnaire. 86 said they would be back and 50 of these said they wanted more space. Other samplings estimate that about 65 per cent; ‘will be back. 26 per cent; are undecided and the remainder are not return- ing. Showing at the Fair has all the uncertainties of business.
