Francesca De PinedO, Air
Ace of Italy, Is Killed
Famed Aviator PerisheS as
Plane Crashes and
Burns in N. 7.
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

FLOYD BENNETT FIELD, NEW
YORK, Sept. 2.-The spectacular
career of Francesca de Pinedo,
daring aviator, ended in a burst of
flames today, when his Bellanca
monoplane crashed as he was tax
ing off on a nonstop solo flight to
Bagdad.
The famous italian pilot had
launched his heavily loaded plane
down the concrete runway at 7:01
a. m. 1t attained a terrific speed,
then began %Swerving under its
cargo of 1,027 gallons of gasoline.
Once it left the runway, but De
Pinedo, without decreasing his
speed, brought it back.
An instant later, it lurched of its
course again. De Pinedo strove
nightly to bring it back, but had
lost control. The plane missed the
administration building, where a
number of spectators were gathered
on the plaza, and crashed against
a steel fence. There was a flash OF
flame as the gasoline caught fire.
Stumbles from Plane
Spectators raced across the field,
almost certain De Pinedo could not
have survived, but hopeful that
some miracle had saved him. Be-
cause of his reputation as an expert
f1ier, no precautions had been taken
and only the fire extinguisher of
Machinist Mate Michael H. Beach,
who had trailed him down the run
way on a motorcycle, was available.
Watchers on the plaza saw the
big plane sideswipe the fence, its
propeller still roaring. De Pinedo
slipped out of the cabin. The plane,
its speed undiminiShed, struck the
fence again, turned over on it's back
and, its propeller still roaring, burst
into flames.
For an instant, watchers saw De
Pinedo staggering around the ma
chine. He crumpled 25 feet away.
The gasoline tanks caught fire and
blotted all from view.
Beach attempted to use his fire
extinguisher, but was driven back.
The left side Of his face was
burned.
For Honor of Italy
De Pinedo's latest project was for
the honor of Italy, which he had
honored through many daring and
spectacular flights, and Benito Mus
solini, who forced his retirement
from the Italian air service after
his successful flight over four CONT
nentS.
This is an adventure to see
whether 1 am growing old" he
laughingly told friends a few min
utes before the fatal takeoff. He
was 43 years old, repeatedly had
faced danger, had reached heights
of glory few men attain, and then
was denoted to air attache at
Buenos Aires by il duce.
De Pinedo's star in Fascist italy
was eclipsed and sent into decline
by the rising star of Air Marshal
Italo Balbo.
Goes to Exile
But while De Pinedo was in favor,
his climb was rapid. He flew from
Rome to Toxic and Melbourne, Aus
tralia, and back. Then he flew
from Italy to South and North
America and back to Rome. He was
acclaimed Italy's greatest air hero.
He was made a general and chief
of staff. Soon afterward he was re-
lieved without explanation and sent
to BuenoS Aires.
Reports said he had aroused the
enmity, perhaps the jealousy, of
his chief, Balbo.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court today refused to
permit Jesse c. Duke, counsel for
Adolph r. Moder and others convicted
OF violating the national prohibition
law, to file a petition for habeas corpus
in behalf of his clients.
Duke charged that Justice Let's Of
the District >of Columbia Supreme
Court and Leo A. Rover, United States
attorney, had prepared a false, in
accurate, incomplete, deleted and di-
luted'' bill of exceptions in the Dis
trict Court of Appeals, but the charges
were dismissed by the Court of APP
peals on January 3, when Duke failed
to appear in that court to SubStantiate
them.
Duke in the habeas corpus petition
asserted there had been a complete
breakdown and failure of justice in the
trial Of his clients from the time of
the selection of the jury.
The court also refused to entertain
a suit which Duke asked 1t to assume
jurisdiction over the case pending in
the Court of Appeals and decide the
charges he had made without waiting
for the Court Of Appeals to act further.
The attorney appealed the case to
the District Court of Appeals after their
conviction and that phase is now pend
ing there, with hearing set for
February 6.
The court also denied Dukes motion
seeking bail, another relief" for his
clients in the liquor case.
