NOTED ARMY Pill 0T KILLED
AS PLANE EXPLODES' IN AIR
Lieutenant Irving Woodring Noted For Feats
Of Skill And Daring Was Last Survivor
Of Famous Three Musketeers'.

''Three Musketeer" army flying
team which held crowds breath
less at the Los Angeles maneuvers
a few years ago.
He had served at Selfridge Field,
Mich; Kelly Field, Texas. and San
Diego, Calf He was 80 years old
and entered the service from Enid,
Okla.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20. W.P)-
Lieut.. Irwin Woodring, student fly
ing companion of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh at Kelly Field, was a
member of the famous "Three Mus
keteers" of the army that thrilled
spectators unforgettably here dur
ing the air races of 1923.
Lieut.. John j. Williams, one of
the army trio, crashed to his death
on the third day of the races, and
his place was taken by Colonel
Lindbergh, who, in joining Lieuten-
ants Woodring and w. l.. Cornell
ius, was re-living his students days
when the three were teamed in
many daring maneuvers.
The army apparently thought it
! had "loSt face the first day of
the meet when three navy flyers,
| "The Sea Hawks, stole the show
with series of breathtaking
stunts. Though their planes were
not considered the best for aero
batic flying, Lieutenant Williams,
the "Musketeer" leader, took off
the next day in an effort to re-
gain the army's prestige.
Flying upside down, 100 feet
above the field, Williams motor
failed him and he crashed before
10000 Mortified spectators.
Lindbergh took his place the
next day and led the "Musketeers"
through series of dazzling man
euvers.
Lieutenant Woodring will be re-
membered by many valley residents
who were present at Imperial air.
port during the time of the "Ques-
ton Mark" flight four years ago,
when the army engineered the first
successful refueling flight of ex-
tended length.
Woody, as he was called, was
one of the most popular of fine
bunch of officers and men who
formed the ground crew for the
Question Marks" flight, and made
many friends here.
He handled the hose during the
refueling of the Question Mark
and had his Gears burned" by a
superior officer on one occasion
when he made a power dive to the
field after carrying up a report
to the question Mark, the Off
Ger feeling that 'Woody" took too
much risk.
1t is an odd coincidence that
Captain H. M. Elmendorf, who was
in charge of the ground crew at
the time, was also killed while fly
ing at Dayton last week.

MEN ARRESTED
HERE FREED IN
Staying CASE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20. W.P)-
The sheriff's office announced to-
day there probably would be no at
tempt to extradite Orvin Brooks
from Portland to face murder
charges here.
Since Brooks is wanted in Port
land on burglary charges, it was
explained, and since the case
against him here-the charge of
numbering James Nerison, Alham-
bra policeman-is poor, officials
said, the extradition probably will
not be sought.
Nerison was shot by men he sur
prised in the act of trying to blow
a theatre safe.
William H. and Donald Thomp-
son, brothers, in whose Alhambra
home Brooks had resided for some
time, were released by police when
attempts to connect them with
Nerison's murder failed.
The Thompson were taken in-
to custody last Friday at Holtville
by deputy Sheriffs, acting on the
request of Los Angeles officers.
Their mother, Mrs. E. L. War
neke, of Holtville, declared at the
time that they had no connection
with the Staying, and asserted that
they could clear themselves. She
also stated the Los Angeles officers
had exaggerated in saying that
her sons had criminal records. Ac-
ton of the police in releasing the
men substantiates the story she
told at the time they were ar
rested.

Speculation

Everybody now realizes that there were a lot OF
causes for the depression out Of which we are begin
ming to emerge besides the inflated prices and the
wild speculation in stocks But those had lot to do
with our troubles and the spark that touched Off the
explosion was the collapse of the speculative boom III
Wall Street in October, 1929.
There was period this Spring and early Sum
er when it began to look if the lesson Of the boom
had been forgotten. Spectators rushed into the
stock markets and the commodity markets and began
to bid up prices nothing more substantial than
hope Tens Of thousands Of amateurs gamblers saw
chance at easy money and prices began to mount as
rapidly they had gone up in the wild days OF 1877
1929 Securities and grain were bought and sold at
prices which had no relation to real value.
The crash came when one of the boldest and most
irresponsible SPECTATORS found himself unable to
meet his margin call his long commitment in corn
That threw 900 bushels of corn the Board OF
Trade with no support under it, and the whole grain
market crashed carrying the stock market down with
it. Hundreds Of millions of paper profits were wiped
out over night, but legitimate interests were at
fected at ALL so far as Investors who had
bought sound securities outright for cash still have
them unless the we're frightened into throwing
them overboard and with the gradual rise in prices
with improving conditions now under way, they will
be worth all that they COST and more
The real sufferers are the spectators, the suck
er ured by the hope of getting something for moth
ing, and trading on margin. We cannot profess any
sympathy for them.

The Motorists Who Take Chances

You see them on streets and highways every day
motorists who take chances
You see them turning corners at high speeds Or
stealing another cars right Of way. Or passing ON
hills and curves. Or driving the wrong side of the
road Or cutting in and out Of thick traffic Or coming
roaring into intersections and road functions without
looking to either side Or operating at speeds which
are obviously higher than safe under driving
ditions of the moment. And, every once in a WHILE
you See such motorist cause accident. Perhaps
there is little damage done. Or perhaps life is lost
and valuable property is needessly destroyed.
The reckless motorist comprises ten per cent Or
less Of the driving population But he ninety
per cent of the accidents If the reckless drivers smp
ly injured each other it wouldn't be particularly i'm
portant to the rest of But they seldom do that
they main and kill the careful the competent, the
prudent And you never know who's going to be next
This year about thirty thousand people are 60
ing to be killed because someone was careless reck
less, dscourteous. Not one Of thousand of those
deaths is really due to all unavoidable accident-an
occurrence which is almost as rare as the dodo. They
can all be prevented And they will be when there is
concerted public drive against those who make plac
es Of carnage out Of public highways -Qndustral

SATURDAY. JUNE II. 1888.
A LIVING STANDARD

THE United States labor departments
project for a study to fix cost living
standard for 1888 is long overdue
That this has not been done before Illus
trates again the indifference of the postwar
ballyhoo era. No government study of living
costs has been made since that of the war
labor board in 1918, based on Investigations
in only ninety-two industrial centers.
The 1918 standards are obsolete today
Things considered luxuries fifteen years ago
are necessities now. The use Of that old
standard as basis for wage fixing in recent
years was, in the words of the former labor
department statistician Ethelbert Stewart,
"A crime, fraud, and an outrage"
In 1923, Professor Nystrom of Columbia
declared that %, 100000 Americans were living
below the minimum standard for health and
efficiency, that there then were 100000 fam
lilies at the poverty level, and 100000 getting
q bare subsistence income.
In 1923 the average wage of workers in
manufacturing plants was 81 lao In that year
it required for the decent support of work.
ers family, as estimated by the industrial
conference board, the government, and others,
about 81 800.
The theory of basing wages on fixed
minimum cost of living is, of course, a survival
of the discredited economies of yesterday.
The American Federation Of Labor abandoned
this wage theory eight years ago and insisted
that wages be fixed upon the workers share
In the production of wealth.
Such a standard is vital now that industry,
labor, and government are setting forth on
the new road of national planning and restora-
ton of buying power
In 1888, the American living standard, &C
cording to Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins,
should include mot only food clothing, and
shelter, but security for old age and the OPP
portunity for healthy recreational life and
suitable varied, and extended education"
AS President Roosevelt expressed it Friday
in describing the purposes of the industrial
recovery law:
by living wages mean more than a bare
subsistence level I mean the wages of
decent living . it is greatly to their (the
employersD interest to do this, because de-
cent living widely spread among our 125000,
900 people, eventually means the opening up
of industry of the richest market which the
world has known"

OUR PROGRESS IN ART

A MEXICAN artists. says Homer Saint
- Gaudens no longer are under the COM
pulsion of going to Europe to learn and
practice their craft Hunting for pictures to
be exhibited in the thirtyfrst international
show of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh
this famous art director says he found only
two important American painters still work
ing in France.
Twenty years ago." he says. "one-third of
the American artists who counted spent at
least part Of their time in Paris Now the
school has gone home
1t wasn't the depression that did it, either,
but growing consciousness among the artists
that they didn't need to go to Paris to paint"
AS a symptom of the development of
strong, healthy native art which can be of
the highest value to Americas cultural life,
this observation is uncommonly interesting.

administration in Washington and to the
personal qualities of Ambassador Welles
Under the regime of Ambassador Guggen-
helm, the American embassy seemed as much
under the fist of Machado as everything else
in terrorized Cuba
The precise kind Of pressure which AM
bassador Welles is putting on the dictator is
not known. But presumably Machado has
been informed that the United States, under
its treaty obligation to protect the civil rights
and democratic institutions of the Cuban peo-
pie, will withdraw recognition from the pres
ent government unless it speedily reforms.
If the United States withhods diplomatic
recognition from Machado and refuses to in
tervene against the revolutionists, the ter
rorist probably would be overthrown in short
order. That method doubtless will be used
by the Cubans to get rid of the tyrant, unless
the less costly and less bloody method of out
side mediation succeeds.
Perhaps the United States would be in
much stronger position, both in the eyes of
Cubans and the rest of the world, if it in
vited two or three other Latin American gov
ernments TO join in mediation proceedings.
Since Secretary of the Treasury William
Woodin and others in or near the admin
istration have special Cuban interests, and
since part of Cuba's troubles are due to ex-
ploitation by our banks and sugar barons,
an invitation to certain other Latin Amer
lean governments to share the responsibility
of Cuban mediation would show that the
Washington government has no selfish in
terest to serve.
Such joint action would be of value, not
only for purposes of mediation, but also to
prepare the way for American co-opera-
ton if mediation fails and more severe meas
ures are necessary.

ELIMINATE THE RACKETEERS

ONE of the good things the senate did in
~ its final moments was to vote a drastic
investigation into racketeering in Americas
biggest cities.
If our new DEAL is to be all that it ought
to be, it must find some way of dealing with
the racketeer; and although a great deal is
known about that problem, no effective cor
receives can be designed and applied until a
lot of definite, detailed knowledge is tabulated.
The best way to get such knowledge seems
to be by means of a senate investigation The
committee members who will study the mat
ter this summer and fall can be relied upon
to get it.
Following that there must be new legis-
lation. 1t is to be hoped that the investigators
will find some way in which an aroused
nation can strike Gripping blow at the I'M
derworld sharpers who have been levying such
a heavy toll on legitimate business

HAWKS AND HIS ROBOT

THE nonstop robot fight of Frank Hawks
l. from Los Angeles to New York last week
gave a vision of the future of aviation which
deserves better than the passing moment of
wonder which the public in this fast-moving
world accords such feats, then forgets all
about them.
Hawks previously had set a record over
the same route - it was II hours and So
minutes, and the date was June %, 1929
-Four years passed and no one beat it, until
along came Hawks and the De BeSson me-
chanical pilot.
With this aid he cut four hours and eight
minutes from the previous time, reducing it
to 10 hours and 20 minutes. The best cross
ing, with stops allowed for fuel, was 10 hours
and 20 minutes.
In another year or two or three Hawks,
or some other man-bird and a robot COM
panion. will be bringing the nonstop flight
down to the 10 hours and 20 minutes.
The Hawks fight shows again the great
Importance of instruments and mechanical
aids in flying with regard to speed, ac-
curacy of fight and safety.
Great developments in these lines have
occurred since Lindbergh few the Atlantic.
The conquest of fog through radio beacons
for landing now is a near reality.
The prodigiousness of all these things can
be seen better when it is recalled that the
first air trip from coast to coast required
forty-nine days. That was twenty-five years
ago. The record has rapidly dwindled.
Like the fast planes, aviation is flying too
fast for the eye of public attention to fol-
low it.
