First Air Division of Army Has Broken Up = Not One Fatality Throughout the Maneuvers

Washington. June -UP)-The armys first air division broke up to-day after a fortnight of the most spectacular yet safest = flying in American military history.
 Army officers estimate the 672 planes used in the maneuvers will fly, collectively 100000 miles to reach their respective stations, scat tered from the Atlantic to the Pa cific and from Texas. to Michigan.
 Secretary of War Hurley points to a remarkable record of safe fly ing during the recent ,maneuvers. which took the air armada from Dayton, Ohio, to New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash ington. Thus far the army's pilots have traversed nearly 100000 miles and have spent collective total of approximately 30,000 hours in the ain without fatality or a serious accident.
 Statistics gathered by the army air corps during the eiscal year 1929-30 showed there were 52 per- sons killed in flying 3e,500,000 miles or one for each 625,000 miles.
 On this basis three fatal accidents might have been expected before the end of the maneuvers Saturday night. Rut there was none. Neither was any pilot seriously injured, all though there were a dozen minor accidents. Virtually all of them oc- cured during landings.

SEARCHERS
 FOR MONEY l. BURN HOME
Farm House at East Had- dam, Where the Willys Triple Tragedy Took Place Was Destroyed By the Vandals

East Haddam, Conn, June l. (UP)-Treasure hunters for weeks have been searching the farm on
 which John Willys, 64. shot to
 death his brother, Henry. GA, and then beat to death his sister, Kath- erine. 6S, before committing suicide more than month ago, it was learned to-day. In their anxiety to find wealth rumored to have been left by the three eccentric descend ants of colonial settlers, the search CTS accidentally set fire to the farm house and it burned to the ground. Farmers in this district believed the Willys family possessed wealth which never was banked. They re- called only a few weeks ago John sold large quantity of antique fur niture and never banked the money.
 Searchers ripped up the floors and tore down the walls of'the ram-
 shackle farmhouse in which the three lived. Apparently one of the searchers dropped match or cig- arette stub. The fire department
 never heard of the fire, the farm
 being located eight miles back from the main road near the Devils Hop yard section, a desolate wooded ter ritory.
