ROCKNE CRASH
REEVES TALK
ON CHUTE USE
Doubt PracticabiIity of Air
Life PreServerS' in
Transport Planes.
BIZ scripps- HopGrd NeDspopey Autano.

~ Soripps-HoDGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. April 10.-The
recent airplane crash in which
knute Rockne and seven others
we're killed has revived discussion
over the use Of life preservers" on
passenger airiiners.
The only known forms of aerial
Lie preservers are the individual
parachute and the experimental
planechute, in which the entire
plane floats down attached to a gi-
gantic parachute.
There is no passenger airline in
America today that equips its pas
sengers with parachutes.
Both the airlines and the Depart
ment Of Commerce consider the use
OF individual chutes on transport
planes inadvisable, and the plane
chute has not yet been sufficiently
developed for practical use.
Psychology Bad
There is little likelihood Of the
government requiring the use Of life
preseryers on air transport lines
until something new in the para
chute line is developed.
Airlines give several reasons for
not providing passengers with para
chutes.
They have found the psychology
zeal effect bad, tending to brighten
passengers rather than reassure
them.
Accidents in the air, when they
40 occur, happen so quickly that
there would be slight chance of I'M
loading a large transport plane
carrying from ten to thirty passen-
gers.
No Use In Rockne Crash
Aged persons and small children,
both OF whom ride the airlines,
could not be expected to Jump into
space and successfully operate their
parachutes.
There is not room in present type
transport planes for each passen-

Fits Peeved At
Statement Made
In Caress Case

LOS ANGELES, Dec. .. U.P}-A
breach between the district attor-
ney's and sheriff's offices appeared
today on the heels of a secret in
dictment Of eight men, accused Of
kidnapping E. L. "zeke" Caress, bet
ting commissioner, and holding him
for $4,000 ransom.
-Four of the eight men were in
the county jail, unable TO raise
100000 bail each. They were
Ralph Sheldon, Chicago gangster;
James Doolin. former st. Louis
gunman, whose alleged confession
revealed the abduction; James Nc
Donough, suspected of a Chicago
murder, and Jesse Orsatti, Los An
geles racketeer.
The split between the two offices
came when District Attorney Fits
denounced Capt. Norris Stensland
of the sheriffs office because the
latter made public nine months ago
statement in which Doolin, under
an assumed name, was allowed to
identify his own photograph and
give himself an "alibr - escape
arrest in the kidnapping.
Fits said he would prefer
charges against Stensland before
the civil service commission.

Pope May Not
Receive Gandhi

ROME, Dec. ?. UR)-Rules of
conduct excluding nakedness at the
papal court may prevent Mahatma
Gandhi from visiting the pope If
Gandni wears his usual costume of
loin cloth and sandals.
Vatican circles believed today that
if Gandhi requested an audience
with the pope during his impend-
ing visit TO Rome the request
would be refused. While there is
no established ceremonial, there is
a fixed civilian mode of garb which
the barelegged Mahatma would vio-
late.
Most civilians received by the
pope wear dark clothing and women
cover their arms with long sleeves
Gandhi has worn his white, home
spun loin cloth throughout his
visit to England and attended a
garden party at Buckingham pal
ace in his usual costume.
