TOO LOW,
ROCKNE PROBE
INDICATES
"UnoffiCiaI Evidence" Believed
to Hint Reckless Flying;
Brown Continues His Silence

The issue of whether reckless
and illegal flying caused the air
plane crash at Bazaar. KAN, in
which Knute ROckne and seven
other passengers lost their lives,
remained undetermined today.
Federal agencies in the inquiry
are proceeding cautiously, and de-
cline to say just how far the
investigation will go.
Only HearSay Evidence
1t became known, however,
that the information in the pos
session of Postmaster General
Brown, who has a place in the
inquiry because of his control
over air mail contracts, indicates
that certain violation of official
flying rules led to the tragedy,
but that the Department of Com
merce does not regard it of sort
to be taken as Offici,.I testimony.
Commerce Department officials
declare that only "eye witness"
testimony of the crash can be
considered. RumorS and counter,
rumors tending to show reckless
disregard of flying regulations
have been spread by pilots and
others ever since the accident oc-
CURED, they say, but all of them
have been barred out of considera-
ton.
Low Flying Indicated
One of these officials said
today:
eve have been shown abso-
lutely no information more than
hearSay that the pilot involved
in the crash was flying lower
than 500 feet. If he was, he
was violating the flying rules of
the Commerce Department. We
know that he was flying be.
tween two layers of clouds. but
the best testimony we have on
that point is that his height
was about 600 feet.
"AS the ceiling lowered he
was forced downward, probably.
but to what altitude we don't
know. Flying rules provide that
he should either turn back or
make an emergency landing
when he is forced to fly below
the prescribed 5OO-fOOt altitude
limit"
Brown Still Silent
Postmaster General Brown to-
day declined to make any state
ment regarding his conference
with Assistant Secretary of Com
merce Young yesterday or to dis
cuss the data regarding the crash
which he has collected.
The inquiry will be continued,
it was indicated, in the hope that
further facts can be brought to

 for Univ. of Wash.

Alaska" is suggested to rowing authorities of the University of Washington as name for the Husky racing shell in which the Pacific Coast rowing champions will defend their conference title this year.
