Two Planes Lost in Utah
Salt Lake City — (U.P.)— An Air Force B-25 and a civilian Beehce craft airplane were reported missing early today on flights in Utah
Officers at Hill Air Force base near Ogden, Utah, reported that the B-25 left Great Falls, Mont., last night for March Field, Calif., and was last heard from over Salt Lake City at 7:37 p.m. (MST).
The bomber left Salt Lake City but failed to make a scheduled radio report over the Fairfield range station, only 40 miles south. It was not known how many persons were aboard.
The twin-engine Beechcraft was carrying four persons, believed to be from Chicago, on a flight from Rock Springs, Wyo., to Salt Lake City. It was last heard from yesterday over Ft. Bridger, Wyo., at 4:15 p.m.
Air Traffic Control said the pilot was believed to be Robert Willis of Chicago. Others aboard were reported to be two business companies and Willis' young son, about 14 years old.
For Appointment
Both planes were reported to be "well out of gas."
Willis had filed a flight plan listing Salt Lake City as "next port of call' and Ogden as an alternate. His ultimate destination was Arcata, Calif.
Speaking at the banquet meeting of the fifth annual conference on aging, Rep. William Ferguson of Wellington, former chairman of the Kansas House of Representatives welfare committee, said that "our primary responsibility is to take care of the immediate needs of the aged." The

problem of nursing homes, for the incompetent aged, he said, was "critical."
He outlined some of the provisions of two measures now pending in the Legislature. One bill, he said, would authorize counties to levy a tax to build new county nursing homes—not "poor farms." A companion measure would provide for the licensing of nursing homes.
Other featured performers who will appear with the Armstrong group are singer Velma Middleton, trombonist, Trummy Young, clarinetist Barney Bigard, pianist Bill Kyle, drummer Kenny John, and string bass player Arvell Shaw.
Building adequate nursing homes is a problem, Rep. Ferguson said, because banks will not loan money for that purpose.
Mrs. Marietta Weaver of Mullinville, wife of Benjamin Weaver, representative of Kiowa county, urged planning for old age in the middle periods of life by construction of "retirement villages" on plats of about 40 acres near large towns.
Dr. George Myers, Concordia, stressed "education for wholesome living" for the older person which will give him "something to do besides sit, think, and twiddle his thumbs."
Calling the older person the
"Norgotten man," Dr. Myers deplored the lack of adequate education for retirement and drew a comparison between that and education in youth.
He recommended courses such as the one he teaches at Concordia, plus wise counseling on problems of aging, be conducted through the adult education facilities of local schools.
