Joint Holder of World Dis
lance Record Hurt at
Rio de Janeiro.

BIZ United Press
RIO DE JANEIRO. Aug. 49,
Maj Carlos Del Prete, Italian hier
who recently flew from Rome to
Brazil, setting the worlds long dis
lance flight record, died at 6 a. m.
today from injuries he received in
a recent airplane crash on the wa
tiers just outside Rio De Janeiro.
Del Prete and his companion on
the Rome-Brazil fight, Maj. Arturo
Ferrarin, we're injured last week
when Savoia monoplane winged
over as the two started an exhibit
ton flight.
Del Prete'S legs were broken. and
only yesterday doctors found it nee
essary to amputate the Italians
right leg, as gangrene had set in,
threatening his life.
Companion at Death-Bed
Through the night he was report
ed resting comfortably and doctors
we're hopeful that the poison had
not gained too much Roadway
through his system
Del Prete died holding the hand
of his flying companion.
1t was a solemn scene. Del Prete
had been given the last rites of the
Catholic Church in the presence of
the Italian ambassador and about
fifty others, including prominent
members of the Italian colony.
He was conscious to the end.
Shortly before he died, he took Fer
rarin's hand and said.
Farewell Ferrarin."
1t was tragic ending to career
that recently had become glamorous
in the worlds aviation history.
Ferrarin and Del Prete started
from Rome several weeks ago a
long fight to Brazil, hoping to
reach Rio De Janeiro. Their fight
across the South Atlantic was
steady,
Plane Wrecked in Storm
When they reached the Brazilian
coast line they encountered terrific
rain storms and high wind ED
finally were forced to land near
Natal, thus ending their flight.
But they resumed and below Natal
agin ran into a storm and had to
turn back, landing at a spot near
Natal again. Their Savoia mono
plane was broken in the landing. q
Finally after attempts to erpair
the plane had failed Del Prete and
Ferrarian went by an army air
plane to Rio De Janeiro. They were
feted by the Italian colony.

After of the most successful wears in its his

Chamber Of commerce work places considerable

With many of the old directors holding over under

work; and with sufficient finances to carry out the
progressive program heretofore handicapped by lack
