CARES FOR FLYER
Major, Skull Hurt in Crash,
ExtriCateS Lieutenant
From Wreckage.
BY the Associated Press.

WINTHROP, Mass, August IT
Through the courage and clear-headed-
ness of an Army surgeon, who, with
his companion, was seriously injured
in a spectacular plane crack-up yester-
day in woods Of the Blue Hills in Mil
ton, both men today were considered
to have a good chance for recovery.
Their names, however, were on the
danger list at the Fort Banks Hospital
here.
They were Maj. Claude w. Cum
mings, AZ. flight surgeon at the Boston
airport, and Reserve Lieut.. William r.
Taplin, 38. Maj. Cummings has pos
sible fracture of the skull and other
hurts. Lieut.. Taplin has q fractured
jaw, cuts about the head and internal
injuries.
Their Army scout plane went into
tail spin about 400 feet above the
ground and crashed into a tall oak
Stripped of one wing, the plane PAN
caked on top of the two flyers.
Maj. Cummings, first to regain con-
seriousness after about is minutes, dag
noSed his own injuries as a probable
skull fracture. He extricated himself
from the Wreckage, freed his companion
and administered first aid. The two
then set out In search of aid.
Meanwhile, a large searching party
lncluolng mounted police, ponce In au-
tomobiles, Boy Scouts and passerSby
had been organized on information of
the crash from Paul Reynolds, farm
err near the Canton-M Milton line, who
saw the plane fall. A trail of blood
leading from the wrecked plane led
Metropolitan Park police to the wander
ing pair.
At the Metropolitan police station in
Milton, Maj. Cummings insisted on
looking after the hurts of Lieut.. Tap
lin. On the way to the hospital he gave
complete story Of the accident to
police and reporters.

The Wilson election in 1912 found

ambassador in the foreign service.
Fletcher has reputation for know

by Latin Americans. He also knows
his Europe and his Asia, too, for
that matter. He may be in line for
a prominent diplomatic position in
the Hoover administration.
But the outstanding thing about his
personality is remarkable faculty
for not making any enemies. He Is a
natural-born diplomat and always
seems to have had friends in the right
places.
When Hoover takes office Fletcher
will be serving under his sixth presi-
dent. How does he fit with Hoover?
Well, the president-elect decided that
he was the one man whom he wanted
to direct the diplomatic arrange

TRI-STATE RIVER DELEGATES

Santa Fe, N: NJ, Feb. IA
Conferees of California, Nevada
and Arizona, assisted by unoffi,
cial observers representing Utah
Wyoming, Colorodo and New
Mexico, today opened q session
here in an attempt to iron out
difficulties over distribution of
the waters of the Colorado river.
Ringing upon the outcome of
this conference is realization of
the Boulder canyon dam project
recently authorized by congress.
Involved in the final settlement
is the division between ,Califor>
MIA and Arizona of $500, 600 acre
feet of water allocated the lower
basin states under the Santa Fe
compact.
The original Colorado river
compact provided that ratifica.
ton by the seven states com
prisin9 the basin of the river
was necessary to make II effec.
tive. Subsequently an amend.
ment was adopted providing that
ratification by six states would
make it operative. California,
Nevada, Utah. New Mexico. Col.
orado and Wyoming ratified the
compact. Two years ago Utah
repealed its ratification. Arizona
alone, never has ratified the
pact. A bill now is pending in
the Utah legislature which
would ratify the compact.
Seven states, as we'll as the
Republic of Mexico, are vitality
