THE MORNING CALL, Allentown, Pennsylvania, January 29, 1948

* Los Gatos DC-3 airplane crash
* Diablo Range - California disaster
* Mexican farm laborers - workers
* Woody Guthrie's "Deportee" song
* FRONT LEAF ONLY ***


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "32 Killed in Crash of Chartered Plane" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the 1948 Los Gatos DC-3 crash in which killed many Mexicans being sent back to Mexico. This plane crash inspired the protest song "Deportee" by Woody Guthrie.
Front leaf only (pages 1 & 2), nice for display as such.
