THURSDAY l|NX
To PILOTS

More accidents in naval aviation
occur on Thursdays than on any
other day OF the week, according to
a Navy Department statement
given out yesterday. mo satisfac-
tory explanation can be given for
this fact. Further study is being
given to determine the exact rea-
son therefor" the statement con-
tinues.
Almost one-half OF the fatal acci-
dents come as a result Of >he
dreaded tail spin, it is asserted.
OF these almost all occur without
engine failure and the vast majorlty
from an altitude Of 200 feet or less
for proper recovery.
The report says that in CONNER.
cial aviation the aircraft of the fu-
ture must be so designed that it
cannot spin. When this is done,
and present developments indicate
its possibility, fatal accidents will
be tremendously reduced.
1t has been determined by the
Navy Department that all acci-
dents occurring in Naval Aviation
during the past eight years show
that the predominant responsibility
for crashes rests on the pilot
This indicates two things: first
that manufacturers must continue
to incorporate new elements of
safety in their products in order
further to reduce the demands made
upon the necessarily fallible hu-
man lement: second. it shows how
necessary it is that pilots he
selected only from the very best
material and that they he given

CAUSE Of
DELAY

Plans of the Sackett COM
mittee to begin their investi-
CATION of the District govern
ment today went glimmering
when it was discovered that it
would be impossible to hold a
meeting of the full committee.
Senator Sackett of Kentucky,
chairman of the group with Sena-
tors Blease and Copeland, went
into executive session for about
five minutes in the Senate District
Committee room today, but were
two members of the committee,
Senators Jones and Vandenburg.
Senator Sackett later announced
that a meeting will be held some
time next week when the full
membership will be able to attend.
He said that the questions before
the committee are of such conse'
quence that it was deemed better
not to proceed without having
all five members in the room.
He also stated that the bulky
file of documents on the District
investigation was not opened during
the brief executive session, nor did
the three Senators take up the
Blease resolution to suspend Major
Pratt, Inspector Shelby and Lieu
tenant Kelly from the Police De
partment These matters will all
be threshed out at meeting next
week. he indicated.
Jones Out of City
Senator Vandenberg was in the
Senate chamber when the time for
the committe meeting arrived. but
sent word to Sackett through Oscar
H. Brinkman, clerk of the COM
mittee, that he considered the lobby
investigation report, which was
being discussed in the Senate, as of
greater importance than the local
committee meeting. Senator Jones
was said to be out of the city.
Senator Sackett stated that he
would make no announcement as to
any of the official reports received
by him. or of the Department of
Justices reply to the committees
request for opera tives to use in the
local investigation. until the next
meeting of his group.
The Sackett subcommittee will
seek answers to the following ques-
tons:
What's the matter with the Com
missiOnerso
What's tie matter with the police
department?
What's the matter with the Dis
trict Attorneys office?
Appended to these queries are
scries of more specific questions,
relating to charges of corruption
md inefficiency" against the city
heads. police bungling in probing
murder cases, alleged suppression
of an Indictment against four
Chinese and official favoritism in
issuing concealed weapon permits to
residents of Washington China
town.

resolution to suspend Major Henry

Captain Doyles Counsel Protests Police Are Unfair

T. Morris Wampler, one Of

suggested several alternates, al
