SOVIET ON BETTER
.. TERMS IN POLAND
Relations Change With Pros
pect of Germany Join
ing League.

MOSCOW, October R.-With the
prospect that Germany will negoti-
ate security pact with the allies and
enter the League of Nations, Soviet
RusSia's relations with Poland. for
merly marked by lack of cordiality
and even acrimony. have lately as
sumed a strikingly friendly character.
This has been forcibly emphasized
by the warmth of the reception ac-
corded George Tchitcherin, Russian
foreign minister. at Warsaw. whence
he departed for Berlin. The Soviet
press interprets his Warsaw reception
as the beginning of a definite rap
prochement between Poland and Rus
Sia.
Russian official circles profess to see
in the proposed security pact a move
on the part of the western European
powers to create united front of all
Europe against the Soviet union.
Bolshevik political writer's say that
Poland looks with equal disfavor upon
the security pact and Germany's pors-
pective adhesion to the League of Ma
tions, as this would give Berlin the
right to raise anew the questions of
Upper Silesia and the DanziG corri-
dor, which were settled in favor Of
Poland.

found myself studying the situation
and the events that would probably
follow.
Immediately after we cracked, we
started coming down terribly fast. We
must have been making 10 meters a
second. Obviously the first thought
was to tighten her, throw off some
ballast. We did that. We loosened
some gasoline tanks. But still we
kept going down-faster-fas We
gained momentum as we went. Faster
all the time. Nearing the earth all
the time. The earth and certain death.
That was the situation we all faced.
But, like every other man. l had my
own particular problem to solve. l
was standing close to two groups Of
fuel tanks. each tank holding 720
pounds of gasoline. The proximity of
the tanks to myself was anything but
reassuring. l felt sure that the wreck
of the ship would catch fire and cause
them to explode. And II I should by
some strange miracle withstand the
crash. l knew l would be doomed by
the explosion.
Some Close Figuring.
I remember that my mind worked
clearly and quickly-as it does in n
crisis. I remember figuring that If
they did explode. I would be safest
standing midway between the two
groups of tanks, because II they did
go off, they would explode straight up
and not to the sides.
1 acted upon that decision. I sta
toned myself between the tanks and
thought some more. l planned what
I should do. II, when the ship hit,
should still be capable OF doing any
thing-ever again. / figured that II
I came down alive, / could climb out

had happened. 1t was pitch dark and
l could not see about me.
My disturbance was not panic, or
anything approximating it. 1 just
didn't know what had happened. And
to hear the crash and crunch of steel,
5000 feet in the air, and not know
why or how-or how much-well, you
just want to know. that's all.
Just then felt several strong gusts
of wind sweep by. l knew. Those
gusts were coming from the outside,
right into the ship. I knew then that
a hole had been torn in us. I didn't
yet know that the ship had broken
in two. But what difference? One
was as bad as the other.
l think right from the first was
resigned to death. Resigned-and yet
eager for a fighting chance.
How could l have been other than
resigned? Such work as mine and
that of my companions must inevi-
tably leave one prepared for catas.
trophe. So instead of becoming panic.

f1hfs IS the first OF q series of three
articles bu surrirors of the fatal crash
of the Shenandoah. The second 1riI
appear tOmorr'O,c.)
BY FRED j. TOBIN,
Aviation Pilot.
Five thousand feet from death! I
can only marvel at my escape.
When the Shenandoah crashed to
the ground and 1 climbed out of the
keel to safety, I wondered what
strange whim of Providence had
spared my life and taken that of Pilot
Allen, detailed to the same duty as
myself. One minute more and I
should have been at the same post In
the control carriage. Allen would not
yet have left, of course, and two in
stead of one would have paid the toll.
But to go back to the beginning. /
was an elevator man on the Shenan-
doah. detailed to shifts of two hours
on duty and four hours Off l used
to go down to relieve Allen Is minutes
or so ahead of time. Perhaps we'd talk
and kill a little time before l ac-
tually went on. duty.e
That day / awoke about the usual
time. But was rolled out of bed by
the ships motion. l realized imme-
uldteiy tnat tnere was something
wrong. 1 thought we had struck a
strong up-current of air. We were
travelling over mountainous country
where such currents were not infre-
quent.
Like Climbing Cliff.
I was in the tail end of the ship and
I started walking forward to the. con-
troll carriage, where Allen was on
duty. Suddenly the ship nosed up
precipitantly-at an angle Of at least
so degrees. To attempt to walk in
the direction 1 was headed was as
difficult as climbing a cliff that rises
almost vertically from the ground. Sc
l waited 1 thought the ship would
soon right itself and that 1 could then
continue on my way. Besides. l was
at least 10 minutes ahead of time.
AS I expected. the ship did steady
but just for a moment. Then 1t start
ed down. 1t nosed down almost as
far as 1t had nosed up. 1t described
almost a semicircle in the sky
Up to that moment l wasn't a bit
worried. 1t isn't at all unusual to hit
a strange current that will pull up the
nose Of the ship. But to have 1t
pulled first one way and then another
well. the current that would do that
must be decidedly strange-more than
a current. in fact.
Just then l heard the ripping and
tearing of steel. 1t sounded like the
swapping of great many girders. My
heart stood still. don't know what I
expected next. I could not tell what
