A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said the small twin-engine private plane "was about 12 miles south of where it should have been," in the crash Wednesday. over western North Carolina mountains. Wreckage and bodies showered down over a wide stretch of the resort area near the city of Hendersonville in the Blue Ridge foothills.

The main part of the airliner missed a crowded youth camp by only 50 yards. No one on either plane survived. There apparently was no warning before the crash, witnesses said. The smaller craft swept out of the mountain haze and ripped a huge gash in the airliner's side. The smaller plane blew up, some.

of it welded to the fuselage of the bigger craft. The collision occured at 12:01 p.m., just three minutes after the Piedmont Airlines 727, carrying 74 passengers and a crew of five, took off from the Asheville airport en route from Atlanta to Washington. The smaller plane, a Cessna 310 heading for Asheville, carried two Missouri businessmen and its pilot. John T.

McNamara talked of "his courage, his integrity and his devotion to this country." Those were among the saddened tributes to John T. McNaughton, 46, newly appointed secretary of the Navy, following his death Wednesday in a plane crash in North Carolina.

But in the small Indiana town where McNaughton was born, a lifelong friend sounded a more personal note. "He was a smart chap, alert and moral," said Allen Jones of Bicknell, a town of about 4,000 population in southwest Indiana. "Perhaps I can tell you what he was not," added Jones. "'He was not a climber. He always said he was from Bicknelleven though he left here when he was 7 or 8." McNaughton, whose wife Sarah and 11-year-old son Theodore also died--along with 79 others in the crash of a Piedmont Airlines commercial flight and a small private plane near Hendersonville, N.C.-had been nominated by Johnson to succeed Paul H.

The passengers included about 30 food brokers from across the country. They had gathered in Atlanta and Asheville for the flight to White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., for a convention of the Stokely Van Camp Co. Hours after the crash, a team of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, headed by ex-Gov. John H. Reed of Maine, recovered the airliner's flight and voice recorders.

He said both instruments appeared to be intact. They were sent to Washington for study. Harold Roberts, FFA tower chief at the Asheville airport, said the small plane, piloted by Dave Addison, about 40, of Lebanon, was on an instrument flight plan. But he added the plane was about 12 miles south of where it should have been. Witnesses said the airliner pilot, Capt.

R.F. Schulte of Norfolk, father of four girls, apparently attempted to the collision, then fought to control the huge craft after the impact. Losing power quickly, he 1 seemed to be trying to make it 2 to nearby Interstate Route 26, a 3 four-lane artery where an emer-6 gency landing might have been possible. But the airliner came apart. One witness said there were two big sections "and a thousand little pieces" as plane parts, bodies and luggage plummeted to earth, about two miles from Candidate Willing To Return City Pay Wayne Sullivan, who has filed as a candidate for mayor here, offered today, if elected, to turn back his salary to the city if other candidates would do the same.

"Judging from the recent doubling of the auto license fees in the city, you may be sure the city needs the money," Sullivan said. The mayor is paid $3,000 annually. Should such a move be "illegal or impossible," Sullivan said he would be willing then to turn the mayor's salary over to the Paducah-McCracken Community Chest-again, if other candidates, upon winning the race, would be willing to do likewise. Sullivan presently has no opposition in the race. Former Mayor Robert Cherry has been mentioned as a likely candidate and City Commissioner William Kressenberg reportedly is nearing a decision as to whether to run.

Announcements IN MEMORIAM RANDLE In loving memory of Mrs. Eva Tempel Randle who passed away six years ago today, July 20, 1961. She bid no one a last farewell, Nor even said good-bye, She was gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. busy hands are resting now, Her heavenly crown is won, My heart still aches with loneliness, Her work on earth is done. Only God knows how much I miss her, My eyes shed many tears; And only He can give me comfort, At the end of six, long lonely years.

Sadly missed by daughter, Dorthy won Senate confirmation. McNaughton would have stepped into the post Aug. 1. It would have been the highest government job yet attained by a man whose career was widely varied and highly successful. McNaughton earned degrees from DePauw University in Greencastle, Harvard University and 1 England's Oxford, which he attended on a Rhodes scholarship.

He served as a Navy lieutenant on ships in the Caribbean, North Atlantic and Pacific during World War II. Jones said when McNaughton's ship was torpedoed in the Pacific, the youthful officer personally climbed down the side to inspect the damage, then calmly steered the ship into port. McNaughton joined the government after the war, then became editor of the Pekin, Daily Times from 1951 to 1953. He went back to Harvard to teach law before returning to government work. Before his nomination as Navy secretary, McNaughton had served for three years as assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs a post that occupied him with Vietnam a great deal in recent months.

This is nearly twice the number Breathitt promised to develop in the state during his administration, which ends in December. Speaking before the fifth annual meeting of the South Kentucky Industrial Development Association (SKIDA), Miss Peden said that during the past year 20 of the nation's largest corporations have announced construction in Kentucky.

"Most of those 20 firms have come into your area of the state," she told the association. She praised association leaders for luring 12 industrial plants from 61 prospects in the past year. Along with the development new jobs has been $1 billion of investment in Kentucky, she said. One of the firms building a plant in South Kentucky is the Anaconda American Brass Co. The company's assistant to the president, Carl Woodward, told the association his firm hopes to present its definite plans for its Franklin plant in the fall.

Woodward said the company is waiting on customer verification of a new product, but it is now planning. the plant. The brass firm has holdings in Kentucky. Woodward said it would employ as many Franklin County residents as possible. Anaconda rose from 63rd to 54th largest corporation in the nation last year.

But Woodward warned that the firm's competitive advantage had been reduced by the Kennedy Round of tariff negotiations. "The slim margin we had was reduced by 50 per cent at the Kennedy Round, and we must realize that our competitive advantage is slimmer as we come into Kentucky," he said. SKIDA is an association of TVA power distributors. John Edd Walker, who served SKIDA as its 1963-64 president, will serve in that post during the 1967-68 association year. Rights Riders May Be Tacked To House-Approved Riot Bill By JOHN BECKLER WASHINGTON (AP) An antiriot bill that won overwhelming House approval Wednesday night may become the vehicle for civil rights legislation when it reaches the Senate floor.

The bill, which would make it a federal crime to travel state lines with the intent of starting a riot, has been condemned by civil rights groups as an anti-Negro measure. They are expected to try get pro-civil rights senators to offer as amendments to the riot bill at least part of the civil rights package that died in the senate, last House, year. where stricter rules prevented such amendments from being offered, the bill sailed through 347 to 70. The vote against the bill was larger than expected. Last year a similar measure was approved 388 to 25, but died in the Senate.

The bill would fix maximum penalties of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine for anyone convicted of using interstate facilities to incite, organize, encourage or carry on a riot. Its author, Rep. William M. Cramer, said it should jail such "hatemongers" as black power advocate Stokely Carmichael, Robert Shelton of the Ku Klux Klan and Lodges PADUCAH LODGE NO. 127, F.
