‘Appeared Personally’
The acknowledgement signed by
the county judge says Ladesma
“on this day appeared personally
before me."
At one point, Everett Looney,
Austin attorney representing Lit-'

Procter of . suppressing evidence
and the district attorney said "any-
one who says that would be a liar."
Looney ran toward Procter shak-
ing his finger and shouting "don't
call me a liar.”
The two later exchanged apol-

Ladesma and other veterans tes-
tified that they had been paid from
$200 to $300 for their signatures in
the four deals and that they did
not know they were buying land.

Ready For

BAYONNE N J . April 16
' That's a good lad for you." said
the stocky, red-haired man witt
four gold stripes on his sleeve.
“You can say that our deck is
canted and our hats are cocked,"
said Capt William F. R a born
“We're readv to go."
And indeed, nearly 11 months
after suffering one of the greatest
peacetime disasters in naval his-
tory. the aircraft carrier Benning-
ton is more than ready to go. She's
eager.
For almost a year the carrier
has been bound to the docks and
coastal waters of the New York-
New England area. Nine months
were spent in the New York Nava)
Shipyard, where the 40.000-ton craft
was launched >n 1944
Now sea trails and final checks

Quonset Point R I., fully equipped
and ready for duty.

men and wounded more than a
hundred others
Those wounds h «ve lor - s "ce

n.ngton has under?' e an 1) *»-
million-dollar overhaul that makes
her perhaps the most up-to-date
carrier in the fleet.
Her catapults where the explo-
sions began, have been repaired
and improved for th? handling of
heavier aircraft,
Her 856-foot flight deck ha: been

effect of canting is as if a giant
plank had been laid ativp. yet
flush with the flight deck, begin-
ning at the stem and extending
"lore than half the length of
ship: and then the front of
plank had been pushed slightly
to port.
i Incoming planes land on this
angled section. The forward sec-
tion of the flight deck is given'.
over exclusively to parking or •
launching aircraft. And there is no
danger now that the pilot who
overshoots his landing will crash
into parked aircraft or those be-,
ing launched.
The Bennington now is the only
U.S. carrier in which the bow has I
been built up and molded with the
flight deck itself, On other carriers •
the flight deck juts shelflike above
the bow. Under extreme weather
conditoons, there is a danger that
the old style deck might be warped
or pushed upward by the sea while
ploughing through towering waves.
These alterations bring to the
Bennington the very latest trends
in carrier design, both from the
standpoint of seaworthiness and
efficient handling of bigger, faster
and heavier planes.
