TRAGIC WRECK
OF AIR LINER
FILM FEATURE
The Times NeWSreeI Shows
Scene of Crash in Which
Seven Died.

Views of the wreckage of huge
American Anyways plane, which
crashed into a mountain near De-
bruce. N. Y, and caught fire, burn
ing its seven occupants to death,
are to be seen in the current issue
of The Times Universal newsreel,
which has Graham McNarnee, noted
radio announcer, as its talking re-
porter.
The huge airliner. was missing for
three days before it was discovered
by a cruising pilot, one of twenty
searching the rugged hills for the
wreckage. Experts express n e
opinion that the plane became lost
in a storm, crashed and caught fire
before the pilot had an opportunity
to "cut his switch"
Other important events in the
reel include views of the sensational
airliner crash near Shelleck, Wash,
in which nine passengers and crew
miraculously escaped death; scenes
at Belmont Park, L. l., as Peace
Chance wins the rich B e m o n t
Stakes in record time; terrific dust
storms sweeping the middle west,
burying farms and buildings under
great drifts of dirt, and scenes at
Rome, Italy, as the king and queen
review 10000 troops marching in an
impressive celebration marking the
adoption of the nations conStitu-
ton.

Visit to Tennessee Project
Recalls Advocacy of U. S.
Control of Utility
By EARL GOODWIN

In about a week from today
President Roosevelt will be enter
ing the Tennessee Valley, en- route
to Warm Springs, Ca, and he will
spend two or three days inspect.
ing the vast experiments which
are going on in power, social
planning, forestation, soil erosion
prevention, Government in bust
ness, housing, farming and half
a dozen other fields.
His visit to the Tennessee Val
ley will not be his first; he was
there a year ago. It brings again
to the fore the fact that while con-
servatives, bankers, Wall Street
men and others have thought
they noted a trend to the right"
by President Roosevelt. ne is still
almost the worlds leading advo-
cate of government ownership
and control of power.
Certainly he is the most con-
spicuous advocate of government
in the power business, and under
the Tennessee Valley Authority
there is now going on, with Gov
eminent money, business in cleo
tricity which not only furnishes
light, heat and power but which
also sells household electrical ap.
planes on the inStalment plan.
The President looks upon the
Tennessee Valley as a place where
a vast experiment can be carried
out in a planned social and eco
nomic order; and this involves,
not only electric power and the
building of dams of huge dimen-
sion, but also involves raising liv-
ing standards throughout the
mountain regions, providing more
and better homes, education,
roads, reforestation, better farms
and better farming, keeping the
soil from disappearing under
erosive processes which have been
deSpoiling agriculture.
In fact, what President RooSe,
welt is planning down there is an
ideal community; a region that
will provide life and facilities in
the manner of a future race. It
is looked on as the most COM
prehensive of the advanced ex-
periments.

toward the peaks below. The
three passengers quickly adjusted
their seat belts and let nature
take its course. Captain Ricken-
hacker was not alarmed. 1t
seemed the tremendous speed had
taken out all the gas from the
tanks in the cabin. In changing
over to the tanks beneath the
wings something happened and
the contact was not immediate.
Chicago was Captain Ricken
hackers destination. But, with
the gas running low, he had to
head for Kansas City. We landed
there at 1926, est. We had
made the 1,474 miles in 6 hours
and Sc minutes. In IL minutes
we were off on the 1,176-mile
hop to New York. It was dark
as We reached Eastern Pennsyl

Kansas City had given us speeds
ranging from z4U 10 zoU miles
per hour.
Cuts Time by Hour
On to Newark Airport we went
arriving there at 8:45 p. m. East
ern time, where we were given a
big ovation by a huge crowd.
The average speed for the flight
was 219 miles per hour. Captain
Rickenbacker was pleased with
having bettered his old mark by
just about an hour. He said:
ut was a great flight. I
think the time is cOming-in a
few years-when a 12-hour flight
between Los Angeles and New

AS the election faded into the

to open their battle for the
mantle of the late Speaker Henry

A dozen candidates are plan.

we'll as the old, Democrats named

votes in a secret caucus to be
held just before Congress con.

SectiOnalism Issue Feared
The smashing victory of the
Democrats in the North and East,
bringing new members into the
fold, may raise the issue of
sectionalism which SpeakerShip

avoid.
An agreement among Demo-
cratic leaders by which the Speak.
ership and the majority leader.
ship would be divided between
North and South appeared likely.
This course was followed when
Rainey was named Speaker.
Candidates for Post
The candidates for Speaker in
clude Representatives Joseph w.
ByrnS of Tennessee, now majority
floor leder; Sam Rayburn,
Texas; William B. Bankhead, Ala
bama; John w. Rankin, MisSis-
sippi, and James Mead, New

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, lead

Up and on we climbed. Soon
the genial Rickenbacker, calm and

cabin and remarked:
"We are up $500 feet now.
We are carrying 800 gallons of
gasoline"
The muffled roar of the Wright

You could sense the terrific power
of these motors.
Over the Mohave Desert, pale
yellow in hue, we shot, at an altl-

roared across the northern tip OF
Arizona and the southern edge OF

The sun blazed through the

miles in all directions.
Over the Grand Canyon, mag
