FOUR KILLED in
TAMPICO CRASH
Two Aviators And 2 Former
Brownsville Men Are
Victims

Four were almost instantly killed
and a fifth so severely injured that
he is not expected to live in an
airplane crash at Tampico at 10:3O
a. m, due to an infraction OF a
rule almost as old as aviation, ac-
cording to information telephoned
the offices of the Compania Mexi-
cana de Aviacion.
The dead are G. A. Frazier, who
was engineer in charge of the con-
struction of the Gateway bridge
here, Pilots Taylor and Newcomb
and a man named Robinson, for
merly a taxi driver of this city,
who was the man not expected to
live.
The plane was piloted by Taylor,
according to information here. The
motor Of the Fairchild single-mo-
tored plane failed on the take-off
at about 100 ceet altitude. The
pilot banked the plane for re-
turn to the field and this resulted
in a slide-slip and crash.
Local pilots state that one of the
inflexible rules Of flying is not to
try to return to the field when
the engine fails at low attitudes.
The plane will almost invariably
side-slip on the bank, they aver.
Several of the passengers aboard
the ship had come from Mexico
City aboard the big tri-motor plane
and had transferred for the trip
to Brownsville.
Frazier and Robinson were both
well known here. Frazier was well
known and liked during his stay
here during the construction of the
Gateway bridge. He had recently
gone into the employ of a New
York firm.

he also refused to reveal where he

II regret very much that the
press has seen fit by unauthorized
reports to cause unnecessary anx-
iety for my safety"
This was his only statement for
publication. AS he climbed into his
plane to leave the port here he
laughingly told attendants that
when he returns again he will tell
them where he spent Tuesday
night.
He said when he left Mexico City
he had told reporters there that
he was leaving for IAN unannounc-
ed destination" and that he had
not indicated that he was "enroute

Brownsville. He said he had not
intended to fly beyond the borders
of Mexico that night.
