Against Y. M. C. A.

@y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2l.-Regula-
lions to prohibit any but experienced
pilots from flying planes over Manhat-
tan we're demanded today by Police
Commissioner Grover A. Whalen as the
result of the fall Of a plane in West
Eixty-fourth street, near Central Park.
Charles I. Reid, "a years old, an
amateur pilot, was killed, and his pas
Eenger, Robert Bailie, 20, saved himself
by parachute leap yesterday when the
plane crashed against the fourth story
setback of new Y. M. c. A. building
After an investigation of the accident,
Commissioner Whalen said
I'm my opinion it was providential
that the accident involved no others
The possibilities are obvious. 1t points
TO the need of immediate action to re-
strain any but the most experienced and
certified pilots from passing over crowd
ed areas such as Manhattan. This pilot
had met such requirements as there are
and the very failure of those require
ments speaks for itself"

Baltic. who landed on a roof across the
street from where the plane struck, said
that Reid, who held a private pilots
license, had chartered the plane at
Roosevelt Field for a picture taking
flight over Manhattan.
Z He said the motor began to miss
while they were still over Long Island,
but that Reid kept the plane headed
toward Manhattan.
: When they we're over Central Park,
he continued. the engine developed a
pounding noise and the plane began to
lose altitude. Reid worked frantically
to get the plane higher, but it began to
careen and then turned over completely

= Bailie said he then crawled out on
the wing Of the plane, pulled the rip
cord of his parachute and let it pull him
on. He said he had no idea how high
the plane was then. Witnesses said he
dropped about 500 feet. He was taken
from the roof where he landed suffering
only from bruised eye and wrist.
= Witnesses said after Bailie jumped
the plane SKINNED along the roof tops,
then struck the side of the Y. M. G. A.

stuck to his plane, apparently trying for

THE CRIME or STUPIDITY

Eighty feet under the surface of the Hackensack river
in New Jersey. a dozen men were working In a hieh.pres-
sure caisson laying the foundations for a bridge.
Something went wrong with the machinery and the
air pressure went down. The men had known when they
went to work that there might be trouble. The men they
had relieved told them that q valve somewhere was leak
ing, ~betraying itself by a soft. insistent sizzling sound. SO
the men worked with a dull f~oreboding of disaster.
Presently the disaster came. The air pressure got too
low. Into the caisson poured tons of soft, gummy mud
and silt from the river bottom, trapping the workers hor-
ribly.
Hours later relief workers got to them. Six were dead,
and five more had to be taken to hospitals. Now three
or four investigations are under way to discover why it
all happened.
Little stories like that aren't uncommon these days. We
can't do anything. from building a bridge to laying a
water main, without calling a lot of complicated and ex-
pensive machinery into play: and nearly always that ma
chincry is of a kind that can bring disaster If anything
goes wrong.
That, probably. is the inevitable penalty we nay for
having such an intricate civilization. We are forever in
venting machines to help us In our work. but unfortunate
ly we are not always quite up to our inventions. When
ever a machine passes into the control Of a man who is
careless. inattentive or stupid, there is apt to be trouble.
In the old days a man had to have a certain amount of
malice In order to let loose a catastrophe on his fellows.
Now he can do far more damage simply by being negli-
gent. Carelessness can be the greatest crime in this era
Of machinery.
All Of this, Of course. is just another way Of saying that
We have not yet got the training, the experience or the
general knowledge to handle our machines properly. En-
eineers have a way Of speaking Of man power failure"
in explaining accidents. The phrase is significant. We
fail our machines oftener than our machines fail us.
And this. in turn. means that stupidity and incompe-
tence are the greatest perils that we can possibly face.
Nothing els: can do US so much harm.
The age Of machinery has brought and is bringing in
calculable benefits. In q dozen ways 1t Is setting us free.
It is making possible the dawning of a new era.
But we haven't quite mastered 1t yet. If we don't sue
coed In doing so, It may turn out to be a fearful curse in
stead OF a blessing.

BEETLES AT WHITE HOUSE
tNew York Times.

VISW w 1NUeoI
The impotence Of the American government has rarely
been more clearly illustrated than in the failure 81 the
departments Of agriculture. war and state to preserve the
white house grounds from the devastating onslaught 81
m invading army Of Japanese beetles.
The department OF agriculture some time ago an
nolnced that one Of the few known means o. checking
mails feed on these plants yoraciously. and then become
~paralyzed and die. But apparently the white HOUSE
gardener was unwilling to encrcle the white house with a
cold border Of geraniuns.
The war department. which Is supposed to be adept in
the use Of poison gases. he's itself been as paralyzed rs the
beetle after their geranium orgies. because warfare
against insect pests does not fall within its regular ac-
tivities. Rumor has It that Secretary Good is as dis
turbed as Secretary Hyde to think Of the steady crunch
ing of Q million beetle laws stripping the plants of the
white house grounds OF their leaves.
Even Mr.. Stims0n can do nothing. To the suggestion
that he call upon Ambassador Dehruchi to withdraw his
forces, he has pointed cut that the japanese beetles, be-
in native eborn. are no lnn1er under Japancsc ilrisdic-
ton. It looks as II Hoover efficiency were being as
sorely tried BY thtss bssties Is ~ congress.

Editorial Comment
A NEW RUBBER TRICK
Nincoln JOurnaU

The production of reclaimed rubber is q growing bust.
ness in this country. Old rubber. worn tires and other
rubber goods. are put through a retaining process and
utilized In the manufacture Of other rubber articles. Last
claimed material was produced in this country, more than
half OF which was exported. At the same time the pro-
duction OF this product has grown in other countries
The industry made a remarkable growth in four years
In 1924 exports of scrap and reclaimed rubber were
slightly more than 100000 pounds from all countries
Exports In 1928 were something like five times this fig
ure. At the same time the production for home con-
sumption has increased at an equally rapid rate. The
chief reason for the growth Of the industry was the price
OF rubber under the Stephenson act. This attempt to
boost the price Of an article which is in almost universal
demand not only resulted in the expansion of the pro-
duction OF crude rubber by countries other than England
to the extent that the effect OF the act was nulified and
had to be repealed. but It also stimulated the industry
which Is now converting q waste product into useful ar
ttcleS on q large scale.

IN TRIBUTE TO OUR DEAD

with Memorial day rapidly receding into the back
ground. tn, air once more is I filled with a repetition Of the
suggestions that always follow this holiday-suggestions
that 1t be abolished altogether because Of the way it is
misused.
These suggestions do not come from pacifists or anti
war organizations. They are made by people who have
Z devout and militant p-atriotsn-people who are dis
heartened because the day that is set aside for a tribute
to our dead soldiers is turned into a rollicking holiday
It's original purpose quite buried beneath a nationwide
string Of picncs, joy-rides, baseball games and excursion
trips.
Every city has its Memorial day parade. But these
parades are not the events they used to be. They do not
attract the crowds they used to get. Most Of us, on May
30. are seeking recreation. Paying homage to the dead
breaks into the day too much for us; instead OF going
down to see the parades we head for the. open country
and an all-day outing.
80 . good many people are offended. and the period
Immediately after Memorial day always finds these peo-
pie urging that the day be abolished altogether.
There Is . good deal to be said for this view. Yet, when
you stop to think about it, our way Of observing Mem
orial day may really be as high a tribute to our soldier
dead as we could possibly pay.
We honor their memory by forgetting them and going
out to enjoy q carefree hoiday-and In no other way
could we make it so evident that the things for which
our soldiers gave their lives have been justified by the
course Of events.
The soldiers who fought in our various wars had, some-
times, only the vaguest notions as to what the fighting
was Ill about: but each one. in more or less confused
manner, felt that he was fighting to make his country q
better. safer. happier place to live In. That hope-the
inarticulate feeling that life was not so hard to surrender
II the transaction made things better for the people At
home-has sustained American soldiers on fields all the
way from Bull Run to the Mouse -Argonne.
And our way of observing Memorial day proves that
that hope has been fulfilled.
We are very much at peace, very busy, very prosperous,
and very contented; and so. on Memorial day, we make
. holiday. forget the echoes of old wars, and go out to
enjoy ourselves. And that, perhaps, is just exactly what
the lost legions would want US to do. BY doing it we
prove that we have at least some of the things that these
men died to give US.
Our tribute is an unconscious one. Yet. for that very
reason, it is a good one. The men who sleep in the
beflagged. flower -strewn graves can rest content.

Everyone should be informed that
It Is always possible to prevent tet-

cure after It has developed. It Is
estimated that fully two-thtrds Of the
cases affected die. Some Of these
have had the tetanus antitoxin treat

physicians advocate this method Of
treatment, but other physicians de.
nounce its use, and claim that many
deaths are actually caused by the ef-
feet Of the Ai1titoxin treatment.

on this subject which I want my

FINDING OUT ABOUT STEEL

The first steel skyscraper ever built is now being torn
down in Chicago. Put up in 1887, it is now out Of date.
and is being removed SO that a bigger structure can
take its place.
Experts from the American Institute of Steel Construc-
ton are watching the demolition with great interest. For
years there has been considerable discussion about the
way the buildings steel framework will endure the
changes wrought by passing years. Some experts have
thought one thing, some another: no one has been quite
certain.
Now. however, they are going to get a chance to find
out. Steel from this pioneer skyscraper will be put
through all kinds of tests, SO that the experts can tell
definitely just what. If anything. has happened to it.
The new knowledge thus gained will prove Of great value
In future steel construction work.
