DAYTON, Ohio, January 20.-Lieut.
I. A. Woodring, 81, last of the Army
three musketeers of aviation noted
for their daring, was killed instantly
today when an experimental plane,
which he was testing crashed near here.
Lieut.. Woodring had completed a test
flight at 1000 feet and was returning
to Wright Field. when, without warn
ing, the engine exploded. The ship was
torn to bits.
Lieut.. Woodring seemingly had no
opportunity to take to his parachute
1t was found unopened on his body.
Fatal Crash Is Second.
The death is the second fatal crash
here in eight days. Last Friday Capt.
Hugh Elmendorf, Washington, D. c.,
was killed and Capt. Frank OD Hunter,
Rockwell Field, Calf, seriously injured,
when an experimental plane went into
a tail spin. Capt. Hunter is recovering
in a hospital
Lieut.. Woodring was regarded as one
Of the outstanding flyers in the air
service.
In 1928 at March Field, Calf, he
was a member Of the three musketeers'
of the Air Corps, SO dubbed because of
their daring in stunting planes and
their ability to maneuver in any man
ner, flying solo or as unit.
Other members of the famous trio
were Lieut.. w. L. Cornelius and Lieut..
j. J. Williams. Lieut. Cornelius was
killed in a plane crash in 1928 and one
month later, planes piloted by Lieut..
williams and Woodring collided head
on, the former being killed; but Wood
ring saved his life by using parachute.

ENGINEERS STRIKE
TAKES 600 Off lob
Work on Post Office Depart
ment Building Halted at
Noon Today.

Construction work on virtually all OF
the new Post Office Department Build
ing, at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, was stopped today when the
Hosting Engineers Union called a
strike, withdrawing the II hosting en-
gineers operating lifts throughout the
building. Six hundred men were forced
to stop work by the strike.
The strike was called, it was learned
because the engineers claimed they
should operate motor generator ma
chimes run by electricity which furnish
ed electric power to weld steam pipes
plumbing and conditioning pipes
throughout the building.
These machines formerly were run
by gasoline engines, but recently were
changed to electric-driven generators.
They have been operated by the steam
filters themselves.
Negotiations between the steamfitters
and hoisting engineers were understood
to have failed to adjust the dispute, and
the II hoisting engineers were pulled
of the job at noon today.
The trades which are affected first
by failure Of the hoists to operate are
the stone masons, bricklayers and con-
crete men It was estimated roughly
200 men may be able to continue work
which does not require material to be
lifted by the hoists.

st. Louis and Chicago to Atlanta, was
killed today when his plane crashed
into Little Kennesaw Mountain near

Identification of the plane and the
pilot was made by American Airways

Fields was more than two hours over
due at the Atlanta Airport when the
plane crashed into the mountain during
an early morning fog.
The scene of the crash is more than
a mile and a half from the nearest
road and it was necessary to walk a
long distance up the side of the noun

The loss in mail was not ascertained
Immediately, but postal authorities said
three sacks were not damaged.
Fields was burned so badly identifica-

that Airways officials knew him to be

which the government will pay the usual
liked prices. The collectives were or
dered to make deliveries every month
beginning in July and ending in De-
cember, ranging in amount from 3.3
per cent per hectare to S per cent
for the different republics, depending
upon fertility and mechanical facilities
available.
Rural officials were ordered to Ak the
quotas for individual peasants, who
probably will be called upon to sell a
proportionately larger amount to the
state, but who were given until Novem-
her l to complete deliveries.
On the basis Of unofficial estimates,
the government formerly exacted ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the actual
production Of grain from the peasants
The new quotas were expected to be
considerably lower, thus guaranteeing
the peasants more for sale in the open
market. which they can continue under
the new decree after fulfilling all obli-
cations to the government and caring
for their own needs.
Collectives failing to fill their quotas
would be penalized by a fine at the
open market price for the amount they
failed to deliver, and individuals failing
to meet their quota would be tried under
the criminal codD.

though March 4 has been notoriously
rough on Presidents and Presidents
elect alike In a weather way, January
20 is likely in the years to come to be
even rougher.
Going back to the long time records
Of the Weather Bureau, Mr.. Mitchell re-
vealed that the average Of January 20
temperature compared with March 4
temperature gives the later date an edge
Of 6 degrees upward.
Then, too, says Mr.. Mitchell, the
colder temperature Is more likely to be
accompanied by snow or other unpleas-
ant weather conditions. The average
temperature for March 4, he reported,
has been 80 degrees, with the average
for January 20 being Just degree above

TWO D. c. JUSTICES
FIGHT SALARY CUTS
0'Donoghue and Hitz Claim
McCarI Ruling Would Void
Courts Work.

The United States Court Of Claims
has been asked to set aside an economy
bill ruling by Controller General
McCarl. which, If upheld, might have
the effect Of nullifying every decision
rendered by the District Supreme
Court and the District Court of Ap-
peals.
Holding these two branches of the
;judiesary were, Legislative and not con-
stitutional courts, Mr.. McCarl ruled
the justices were subject to the salary
cuts ordered in the economy bill Of
June 80, 1882.
1t has been pointed out, however, that
both branches have been sitting as con-
stitutional courts and exercising the
powers conferred by the Constitution
upon such courts.

If 1t should now be held that they
are legislative courts, local attorneys
believe, a gave question would arise
as to whet-l Ter any decision they rem
dered as constitutional courts could be
permitted 70 stand. It was also pointed
out that If they are legislative courts,
Congress would have the power to abol-
ish both branches or make any other
changes it desires.
In an effort to have the status Of
the courts established as promptly as
possible, Justice ODonoghue of the Dis
trict Supreme Court and Justice Hitz
of the Court Of Appeals filed suits yes
terday to recover from the Government
the portions of their salaries deducted
under Mr.. McCarls ruling.
They contend both branches are con-
stitutional courts and that the Con-
stitution protects the justices of each
against any reduction in salary.
Justice O'Donoghue asks for the re-
turn of $500 and Justice Hitz for the
return of $3.50 deducted from their
1882. The other justices of these courts
