adherence to the world court today,
but League OF Nations observers saw
q distinct possibility that at least one
of those steps might never be taken.
The two steps involve ratification
Of the protocol agreed upon yester-

al jurists, ratification by the Amert-
can senate on the one hand and by
the 20 nations which comprise the
League Of Nations on the other.
Little opposition to the protocol is

It Is believed that Elihu Root, Its au-

Approval by member nations OF the
league, however, presents quite dif-

agreement with the terms Of the pro-

Death PLANE Pilot
THINKS RIDERS SAFE
Only Survivor of Worst Air
Crash Has Hallucination of
Making Safe Landing

Newark, N. j.. March 19-(P)-Lou
Foote, pilot OF the Colonial Airways
sightseeing plane which crashed SUN
day with loss of IA lives. today told
Newark police that all his efforts
were concentrated on clearing high
tension wires ahead and that he did
not see the string of freight cars
against which the craft hurled itself.
The statement was the first CO.
herent account gained from the sole
survivor of the disaster. Foote, suf-
fering from a fractured skull and
numerous broken bones. is in 4 seri-
Gus condition at st. James hospital.
Authorities said he has the haliucina-
tion that he made successful forced
landing. The police took the State
ment from him without questioning.
They had been warned that he would
die from shock II he knew OF the
death of his passengers.
The pilot described the takeoff with
the IA passengers as heavy" He
said he had reached an altitude OF
between 400 and 500 feet more than
a mile from the airport when the
port motor Of the huge Ford plane
died. To gain safe altitude he
opened up the other two, but the air
plane veered so quickly in the dircc-
ton Of the dead motor that he
throttled down.
Foote lost altitude rapidly, his
statement said, and he made q
desperate effort to clear the wires
ahead. He believes now that he land
ed with bump in clearing beyond
the tracks and wires. He did not see
the tracks nor the freight cars on
them.
