assigned to duty as fight test oficer,
as head of the fight test division, which
is charged with the duty of testing new
types Of planes, with a view to their
adoption in the American naval service.
Officials of the department recalled
today that Lieut.. Cuddihy almost went
into a crash about month and a half
ago and had crawled out on the wing
to make a parachute Jump to safety.
The weight Of his body, the officers
said, caused the plane to be righted
and Lieut.. Cuddihy then abandoned the
thought of making getaway by para
chute and crawled back into the cock
pit and few the ship safely to the
ground.
In an official statement this morning,
the Navy Department said Lieut..
Cuddihy personif1ed in the highest de-
gree all of the best qualities of the
American naval off1cer. His professional
ability marked him for duties of great
Importance: his personality made him
successful, beloved leader. Since his
connection with naval aviation, his
name has been linked with outstand-
ing feats for the furtherance and adj
vancement Of aviation. His place in
the Navy and in naval aviation will be
difficult to fill
Lieut.. Cuddihy was one Of the honor
students at the Naval Academy, grad
uating near the top of his class, and
would have been promoted to lieutenant
commander within short time"
It took Navy enlisted men an hour
and a half to extricate the crushed and
torn body of the pilot from beneath the
engine and mass of twisted wreckage
in the hole. A power pump had to be
put in the hole to clear 1t Of water
while the sailors dug.
Parachute Is Untouched.
Lieut.. Cuddihys parachute was strap
ped securely to his back and the release
ring had not been touched when 1t
was taken from the body. Off1cials at
the Anacostia Naval Air Station could
advance no reason why Lieut.. Cuddihy
had not tried to jump from the ship
in its dive. 1t was pointed out that he,
seemingly, had plenty Of time to get
clear of the falling ship had he seen fit
to do so. That he did not attempt to
use his parachute, however, leads his
fellow officers at the Navy Air Station
TO believe that he did not know his ship
was disabled until 1t was too late to
get clear.
Lieut.. Cuddihy was putting the Brit

times before and had performed up to
expectations.
Lieut.. Cuddihy deliberately was driv-
ing the plane as part of these tests
when it went out or control.
Inquiry Board Is Formed.
Searching parties have been sent out
by the air STATION to find the portions
Of the plane which were seen by OBJ
servers to have fallen from the ship in
its dive.
A Navy board of inquiry is being
formed to inquire into the cause of the

Lieut.. Cuddihy's body was removed

taken to the air station to await ar

The victim of the crash was one OF
the most popular flyers In the Navy
| His death was felt deeply by all his

They regarded him as one Of the most
fearless flyers IN the service.

of the Birmingham club Of the South

was vacated recently by John G. Dobbs,
who assumed the management Of the

president Of the local club. Permis-

impatiently for formal announcement
from the Commissioners in reply to
their joint demand, through attorneys,
for an immediate trial. The demand
was made in letters to the Commission
ers last week.
Apparently the matter was hanging
fire today, because of the fact that
Maj. Dawson was occupied in another
inquiry-that of the explosion of a
boiler at the McCrory S and 10 cent
store last week. Bride, unable to confer
with Dawson this morning for that
reason. said he expected to see him
later today.
I'VE decided what we were going TO
do at conference Saturday" Bride
said. I'VE cannot discuss the decision
now"
The letters from H. I. Quinn and
George e. Strong, counsel for Shelby.
and James O'Shea, attorney for Kelly,
are understood to have been before
Bride and Dawson Saturday.
The attorneys called the attention of
the Commissioners to the fact that the
present grand jury had nullified the
indictment against Mcpherson handed
down by the previous grand jury, and
said that while there was prevalent
view" that this was an eXoneration also
OF their clients, the officers themselves
wanted full and complete vindication
by an Official body.
The attorneys insisted that the officers
are entitled to face their accusers in
an open trial. The "accusers" they
refer to include members Of the grand
jury itself, in addition to persons whose
testimony led the jury to condemn the
detective chiefs.
When the Bride Dawson committee
sought to obtain from members of the
former grand jury the basis Of their
charges against the officers, they met
with failure. Most of the jurors failed
to appear, and others declined to testify.
Garnett M. Frye, one of the chief
witnesses in the Mcpherson case, de-
clined today to confirm reports that he
was dissatisfied with the manner in
which he was questioned in the last
grand jury investigation of the death of
Virginia Mcpherson. Frye added he
would voice his complaint later

NASH DECLARES
DIVIDEND

KENoSIIA. Wis, April 15.-At q
meeting Of the directors Of the Nash
Motors Company held April 10, 1929,
the regular quarterly dividend of
$3.50 per share was declared payable
May /, 1923 to stockholders Of rec
ord at the close o. business April

The conepany reported that for
the first quarter, covering the
months Of December, January and

manufacturing. including deprecia.
ton, selling and administration and
providing for taxes, State and Fed.
eral, the net income amounted to

In commenting on the report,
President c. w. Nash said, "The

conditions January sales ran n per

should suffice.
The effect on the owner, as many
see it, Is simply that with the
big expensive jobs made necessary
less frequently, he Is more prone to
have the small ones done at the
first sign they are needed to keep
performance at it's best. This, he
learns, is largely a matter of keep
ing adjustments precise, using the
right fuel. and submitting the car
to regular and thorough lubrtca-
ton.
Another original feature of the
car that one invariably desires to
retain Is the beauty of it's finish.
1t likewise is far less difficult
and less expensive task today.
Car Needs Tuning
The motorists new attitude Is
compared with that of the music
lover who acquires a fine piano.
The owner of such an instrument
desires to keep it tuned to con-
cert pitch and that 1t needs the at.
tention of a specialist toward this
end is not assumed to, be a reflec.
ton upon its quality. Neither Is
the fact that, to give the peaks Of
performance of which 1t IL capable,
a motor car needs to be tuned
periodically as to ignition, carbure.
ton, fabrication and the like.
An interesting aspect Of car care
in this period is the amazing de-
velopment of service facilities that
are more and more standardized and
efficient. One particularly impress
sive phase OF this is found in the
fact that many car owners have
concluded that it is impossible for
them reasonably to compete with
the professional in car fabrication.
Accordingly, once a month, or at
more frequent intervals II the mile
age justifies, they put the car in
the hands of q fabrication specialist
who gives it a thorough oiling and
greasing in a very few minutes
with equipment that is many times
more powerful and effective than
any car owner would buy.
This process has worked wonders
in keeping the car at the top of its
performance. There is no sklmping
or missing any part Of the car that
needs fabrication as many a motor
ist will admit there was when he
undertook the job himself.
Better Appearances
Improved service facilities are
given credit for the better appear
ance of the motor stream gen.
orally, as well as for the greater
smoothness with which it flows.
Competing with the wash-stand
which is fitted with power equip
ment and which makes car wash
ing an orderly. efficient rapid job
is another practice many motorists
are abandoning. The new heights
of efficiency that this better equip
ment has made possible mean a
lower price for the service, less time
without the car, and a generally
more workman-like result.
why should l do it myself when
all these advantages are made pos
sible by the experts better equip
ment?" many motorists are asking.
They cannot think of any good
reason.
In every respect, it is a new
type of motoring that the car owner
is enjoying today. That 1t should
result in a new type of car care, i'm.
proved in proportion to the better
ment in the automobile, is regarded
as natural.
The mass Of motorists may yet
be able to proclaim loudly and
proudly that they are achieving
new peaks in car care"
