PASSENGER is
AIRPLANE JINx
Accidents Dog Footsteps of
Hard Luck Bates,
Tramp of Air.

By ScriDDs-HOiCdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-There
is a young man at Hoover field here
called Hard Luck" Bates He is
not a pilot, but an inveterate air
passenger. Some fiiers won't let him
ride with them, and a few of the
more superstitious won't even let
him touch their planes He just
naturally brings bad luck to flying
men, they say.
Bates used to be a bookkeeper or
something at Hoover field. Laid off
now during the dull winter season,
he sort of ''tramps" around the
country by airplane, picking up rides
here and there as long as the pilots
don't know his history. He is liable
to crawl out of a plane in Atlanta,
or Chicago, or Kansas City just any
old day.
The reason they call him Hard
Luck is because nearly every time
he goes up in plane, something
happens. He has been flying as
passenger less than two years, and
has been through five craCkups, and
never been scratched.
He took his first airplane ride at
Fredericksburg, Va. in May, 1928.
The motor coWling blew off, hit the
prop, and broke it. A forced land
ing was the next thing in order, and
the ship turned over and was
washed out.
Last summer Bates was flying
with Lieutenant Bernard thompson
of the army. Near Charleston, w.
Va, cylinder head gasket blew out,
and they went down in the tree
covered mountains, and escaped I'M
hurt.
Then he went down to Nokesville,
Va, one day with Roger Scott,
Hoover field operations manager.
Landing at NOkeSville they ground
Topped and tore off a wheel.
Last fall he was flying over Vir-
ginia with Pilot Hank Pritchard and
they decided to land in a school
yard. They did, but hit ditch,
the plane went over and was
wrecked. One wheel came up
through the cockpit.
Hoover field got a telegram from
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-12-31

the sheriff there. It said: Send
ing Bates back by train. Plane
washed out" That meant, they
thought. that he was dead. Poor
old Bates.
A little while later Bates walked
into the hangar, covered with mud
and grease and carrying bent
propeller over his shoulder They
thought it was ghost, but it was
MT. 1t was Bates.
But that didn't sour Bates on
Pritchard, or Pritchard on Bates.
They flew together again at Atlanta
the other day. When they landed,
the ship went up on its nose with a
big smash. Nobody was hurt.
You can see now why some pilots
won't carry Bates. Scott, of Hoover
field, isn't afraid of him and carries
him around here and there. But
Jack Parker, formerly of Hoover and
now flying in Baltimore, won't even
let him sit in his plane on the
ground. If Bates SO much as
touches the ship, Parker wipes it
off before going up.
There are other superstitious
about Bates. He was a friend of
Tom Gurley, Pitcairn mail pilot. He
stood in front of the hangar one
day and waved to Gurley as he
took off for New York. Gurley was
killed before he got there. Some of
the fliers forbid Bates to wave good
by to them.

ture officials launched an expansive
search. Many clewS were traced be-
fore they learned the cake had
crossed the border into Canada. A

The Revolt Grows

From every part OF the state comes the
sound Of revolt against the effort to force citi-
gems TO pay 25-cent notary fee to agencies
selected by the secretary Of state.
f The law providing for drivers licenses is at
Che best Of doubtful value. In states which
have required such licenses, there is no appre-
cable reduction in number of accidents.
In these other states, and there are but few,
there is no requirement for a notary certificate.
The other states did not resort to petty political
Differing to build up machine to be used at
elections.
It remained for Indiana, following the
scheme first dreamed by Stephenson when he
was the law. to use this drivers license as a
means of distributing largess to those who can
serve later to advance the political fortunes
of the secretary of state.
The resentment Of the political workers
who have the jobs in the different counties
against any effort TO save the people money IS
unanimous and sincere
In many of the places application blanks
are being refused to notaries public who desire
70 relieve their neighbors Of this imposition.
The law was drafted with the view of max
ing it difficult as possible for any one to secure
his license without patronizng the notary mill
set up for the occasion.
The administration of the law, as reported
from many counties, carries out the idea that
the prime purpose is not to issue licenses but to
collect the notary fee
It was against this imposition The Times
protested 1t was to protect the public from
being forced to contribute to political
machine that it offers to give free notary serv-
ice to any who call at its Office.
Fortunately other institutions and organl-
zations and individuals are now offering the
same service. Other newspapers have joined
the movement started by The Times.
1t should be matter of principle to refuse
to pay the notary fee.
It is not merely the money involved. It IS
deeper than that 1t is time to revolt against
petty tyrannies. 1t is time to refuse to pay
good money for bad politics
Tell your neighbor that The Times gives
this service free Tell them to join the revolt
against political tyranny. Using public offices
to build up political machines should stop

Propaganda in Schools

About the only consolation the public has had so
far in the government revelations OF the electric
o1er interests propaganda web is that it did not
reach many papers and schools.
But even that consolation is disappearing
The one or two daily papers with which the Inter
national Paper and Power Company had financial
connection turned out to be thirteen. In addition
there we're several other prominent daiies for which
if was dckering Further Investigation by the Federal
Trade commission may show that other power COM
uanies are resorting to similar methods
some time ago there much excitement over
the discovery that power company paid for what
,,,rnorted to be nonpartsan study against govern
,,ent ownership published by the Smithsonian nstl-
+,tior But on Wednesday the federal trade testl-
raonv revealed that fifteen Of the Smithsonians sci
satinc" publications have been financed by private
interests.
So with the earlier disclosures regarding schools
II appeared that pamphlets power subjects in
which the source was not revealed TO the reader were
furnished to schools by the power interests who also
nnlovsd secretly two or three professors in Two or
three western colleges
rst testimony of the National Electric Light Asso-
cation to the Federal Trade commission this week
extended the list 70 eighteen professors paid by the
association for services and expenses The institu-
inns affected included many of the large state unver
PENNSYLVANIA. and eastern schools, such Johns
hopkins and Yale.
Doubtless it would be inaccurate and unjust to
de that all the eighteen professors Willingly or I'M
Willingly served the propaganda interests Of the power
association.
But in so far as the financial relationship between
these educators and the power interests secret
and in so far as the relationship existed for reasons
nfher than technical research that relationship
,invise where it was not downright unethical.
There is necessary and legitimate connection be-
tween any great industry and educational system
especially as industry relates TO the social and physical
sciences But for the protection OF both the industrial
organization and the educational institution, it is
essential that the connection be absolutely open and
above board and that payments for services" and
expenses If any be made to the college rather than
to the individual professor
If business men and professors will not take ordi-
nary precautions against pollution of the educational
system the public will have to make them take such
precautions Just it protects the purity Of its water
system.
