Sacrifice
Coopcritown, N.Y., Nov. 14
W—The congregation of Christ
Episcopal Church in Coopers-
town has a $5,000 debt-—and it
will be paid no matter what the
sacrifice. The rector, the Rev-
erend George French, warned
his congregation that an auster-
ity program is in affect until
the $5,000 is paid off. It may
mean no heat in the church all
winter. But, says the minister,
if need be,- he’ll wear an old
raccoon coat and snow mitters
over his vestments. And he’ll
put up with the leaks in the
roof of the 125-year-old edifice
until its debt to the local bank
is paid off.

Denver. Nov. 14 (AP) —
U. S. Attorney Donald Kel-
ley announced today that
John Gilbert Graham has
signed what the attorney
called a written admission
that he sabotaged a United
Air Lines plane that explod-
ed and crashed November
1st near Longmont, Colo. Gra-
ham’s mother was qne of the 44
persons who died in the crash.
.Kelley said Graham > admitted
he,, had placed “the device” that
caused the explosion in the plane
seven minutes after it left Den-
ver airport
Graham was arrested earlier
today by FBI agents, who
charged him with sabotage. Gra-
ham waived a preliminary hear-
ing before a U. S. commissioner,
who set bond at $100,000. Gra-
ham was taken to the county
jail.
FBI agents said that the 23-
year-old Graham had taken out
a $37,500 flight policy on his
mother, Mrs. Daisy King, chort-
ly before she boarded the plane
in Denver.
A newsmen a.ked U. S. Attor-
ney Kelley if this was a "One-
man job or were others involv-
ed.” Kelley replied that he would
not comment at this time.
The FBI said Graham took out
$37,500 worth of insurance on his
mother, Mrs. Daisy King of Den-
ver, when he took her to the Den-
ver airport November 1st.
Mrs. King was on her way to
Anchorage, Alaska for a visit. She
was among the victims of the
crash. t
The FBI said Graham recently
had been helping his mother oper-
ate a drive-ln restaurant in Den-
ver and paying off a balance on
$4,200 in forged checks he had
passed. The FBI said Mrs. King
had paid off $2,500 of the sum at
the time Graham was convicted of
forgery and given a suspended
sentence in November, 1951.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
said Graham will be formally
charged wtih violation of a section
of the federal code which forbids
sabotaging a national defense fa-
