Desert Diary Writer Could Have Lived
Coast Guard fliers recovered the body of 22-year-old Navy aviator William E. Falls, who perished after his plane ran out of fuel and landed near San Felipe. Falls survived 11 days in the desert by remaining with his damaged aircraft, his diary noting hunger and thirst before death. The search spanned four services, with Falls later sent to Phoenix for burial. Separately in Toronto, Billy Graham trimmed a sermon on divorce and remarriage amid romance rumors around Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend, urging emphasis on scriptural marital roles. He advised husbands and wives alike on duties and patience, urging church attendance and home stability.
