Rescue Plans From Mayford
Flying Field Located Gilbert
Body Near Aurora, iii
(By The Associated Press)


AURORA, ILL.,. Dec. d. The
body of Charles Gilbert, air
mail service pilot, was found this
morning about half mile from
here near his wrecked plane.
Gilbert was on his way from
Chicago to Omaha and became
lost, it is thought, in a severe
snowstorm that was raging over
Kaneville, Illinois, where he was
last seen.
Dispatches from Chicago ear
ly in the day stated that shortly
after daylight this morning Mail
Service Pilot Page took off from,
haywood flying field near Chi
cage N an endeavor to locate
Pilot Gilbert Or his plane, who
had then been missing for 10
hours.
Gilbert's machine was last
seen winging its way westward
with a cargo of mail.
Apparently GiIbert's para
chute failed to work as he jump
ed from his plane, taking a des-
perate leap into the dark and
cold, as the snowstorm swirled
about him.
The tragic death of Gilbert is
the first fatality in the six
months of trans-continental air
mail service.

Evidence of the sane sort is still

Couzens at about 500, 900, 900.
1t is too soon to assert that these

not justified but Senator Couzens
says frankly he is after notification
of his suspicion that the corp6ra-
TONS claims were excessive.
With S20,000,o00 as just one

OF course. as Senator Couzons
points out, if a few influential in

must be burdened just that mucl

The investigating committee will

Garibaldi Challenges
Mussolini to a Duel;
Fascist Aide Accepts

ROME, Nov. Shy the Associate
ed Press. DIR. Italo Balbo, in his
capacity as communicative chief of
the fascist national militia, today
challenged to a duel General Peppino
Garibaldi grandson of the Italian
patriot.
The challenge was made after
General Garibaldis seconds, consid-
ering the challenge to a duel made
yesterday by General Narini, com
mander of the Rome zone of the
fascist militia, asserted that Narini
was not the head Of the militia and
that he had no right to ask for sat
lsfactiOn from Garibaldi. Their prin-
cipal, they said, was ready to accept
duel with Premier Mussolini.
The original challenge was made
because of Garibaldi's protests
against the alleged attack by fascist
mllltlamen upon unarmed former
soldiers on Tuesday when Rome was
celebrating the sixth anniversary of
the Italian almistice with Austria.

Clarence S. barrow
RY ROY j. GIBBONS

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Society has
no right to condemn a man to death.
For the preservation of the race,
if for nothing else, the state should
not deliberately destroy life.
SO declares Clarence s. DarroW,
internationally famous criminal at
torney, whose master pleading has
aided more than 100 murderers TO
cheat death at the hanSmans hands
In an interview, barrow for the
first time reveals the workings of
his mind in explaining why he has
come to the rescue of so many Grim
mails marked for the gallows.
Answering the question: Are
criminals worth saVing?" DarroW
says:
1T is first necessary to find out
what is meant by the word Grim
inal.' Whether it means some per
son who has some anti-social in
stinct, or one who has been ccH-
victed of a crime.
Everyone has both social and
anti-social instincts, ana it is only
a question of degree as to the eH-
tremes each way.
LAS for conviction OF a crime,
there are all sorts of crimes. Cou-
death. Many are convicted who are
not guilty, so it would be impossible
to answer the question from this
standpoint.
But, if the question should be
Are there not criminals who are no.
worth saving then the question
should be asked: Worth saving to
whom?
There are an. infinite number of
people who have high standing who
are not worth saving. so far as the
community is concerned. In fa:t

are very injurious to the community
perhaps there are very few PEG
pie whose death would make amy
difference to the community, and n
that sense, they would not be worth
saving. But, the only admissible
question is: Are they worth saving
to themselves
I'VE live because we want to live,
regardless of whether We are doinS
any sood to others or not, and ii
would be very hard TO pass and exc
cute a law that only those who do
good to others should live.
