HAYES DEMANDS
FILIPINO FREEDOM
Senator Declares National Honor
and Promise Are
Involved.
BY the Associated Press.

Independence for the Philippine
Islands was demanded yesterday by Sem
ator Halves, Democrat, OF Missouri, on
the ground of national promise and
national honor
In radio address, Halves, a member
OF the Senate territories committee,
which has been holding hearings on
Philippine freedom, said every witness
before the committee had stated that
independence had been promised and
that it must be granted, either imme-
diately or within Swear, 10-year or
30-year period.
mo witness has advocated continuous
possession by the United States" Halves
said. The subject, therefore, seems
to resolve itself into question of time,
method and agreement"
Halves asserted he had arrived at
only one fixed conclusion IS a result
of the hearings-that national promise
and national honor call for the ultimate
independence Of the Philippine Islands. u
Explaining that 80 per cent of the
imports Of the Philippines into the
United States consist of farm products
and that only 10 per cent of the agri-
cultural land is now under cultivation,
he said the American farmer must con-
slider whether he wants this territory
competing with the farms Of the United
| States.

who used to read romantic novels
some ~ years ago, and later the cen
tral eharacter,i in a stage play of the
same name, has entered the ranks
of the "talkies" and will be seen to-
night at Fox Imperial Theatre.
Created by Booth Tarking and

proved to be one of the most de-
ightful romances of the early part
of the century. It's fame did not

AS talking and singing picture,
it is bound to be equally successful,
especially in the hands of an ex-
ceptional east, headed by j. Harold
Murray and Norma ferris, support
ed by Robert Edeson, Stepin Fetchit,
John Hyams, Myrna 10y and others.
Walter Donaldson and Edgar Les
lie supplied the lyrics for the pro-
duction, which is directed by Irving

est.
Sterin Fetehit, popular negro com
edian, has a splendid part in the
production, including the singing Of

his assistance.
Engineers of the company were
sent out to learn if one of the mo
tors of the big Ford plane had
ceased functioning, and why.
The plane had left the Mexican
pleasure resort at $50 p. m. yester-
day with its capacity load. Less than
an hour later, at 6:23 p. M, it was
4 blazing funeral pyre.
\ strap watch on the wrist Of one
of the woman passengers had stop
ped at that time, giving the prob.
able exact moment of the explosion.
Most of the bodies were so badly
burned that identification will be
difficult. All were taken from the
smouldering wreckage early today.
Three bodies were hurled from the
blazing ship as it slithered $50 feet
through the muddy field.
Died at Posts
Pilot Russell and his assistant
were found with their charred hands
elutching at the controls in mute
evidence that they had persisted at
tempting to bring the plane safely
to earth.
While official investigation was
underway by three other aeronautics
bodies-among them officials of I.
\. T.-Maddux assisted by Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh-the San Di-
ego air board announced after a sur
1ey of several hours that a storm
had caused the crash.
According to finding of the board.
Pilot Russell, flying under a low
200 foot ceiling because of fog, at
tempted to swing his plane around
to return to the San Diego landing
field. He had seen the approach
ing squall and hoped to evade it.
But the storm was too swift in its
tdry. AS the plane began its turn,
the board decided, the wind took
advantage of its low altitude to bear
it to earth.
The big Ford ship struck on one
wing and as it skidded and toppled
over, fuel tanks carried in the wings
broke, drenching passengers and the
hot motors with 200 gallons of in
flammable fluid. The explosion
came instantly.
j. G. Nall, inspector of aeronau-
ties for the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, said unofficial
~ that he believed the pilots were
attempting to turn and 60 back
when they crashed. A hasty exam,
nation revealed the landing flares
ON the plane We're intact, showing
an emergency landing had not been
attempted.

plane burst into flames before i
hit the ground, probably is incorrect,
according to investigating officials
directed by Lieut.. Virgil Westbrook.

to reach the scene.
Field Too Soft
"The first report we had came
from a passing motorist who said
the ship came down in flames as
the pilot attempted to land. | hard
~ think this is right" Westbrook
said.
"Eyidently Russell was circling
for an emergency landing to avoid
fog and, rain coming in from the
sea. He selected fairly level spot
but the ground was too soft.
"When the first rescuers reached
the burning ship they could see
bodies piled forward in the passen-
ger compartment. Flames prevented
any attempt at rescue then however.
and it was four hours before the
fire died sufficiently to permit re-
covery of the bodies" he said.
