AiRLlNER'S CRASH
BLAMED ON PILOTS
New York Attorney Charges
Negligence in Plane Wreck
in Which Seven Died.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tIt hboOClhLSu rIcbS.
KINGSTON, N. Y, August "a
District Attorney Cleon B. Murray
announced today he had received a
coroner's report attributing the crash
of a giant Luxury Air Liner" on Last
Chance Mountain June to negli-
gence in operating the plane over
dangerous country.
Seven persons died in the crash.
Concerning speculation as to
whether chemicals carried by William
Bader of Buffalo, one of the passen-
gers, caused the crash, Murray said
the report made this finding:
Evidence at the inquest shows no
basis for belief in the theory of as
phyxiation of the occupants prior to
the crash, or In an explosion prior to
the crash"
The giant liner, flying from New
York to Buffalo with two pilots, four
passengers and a stewardess, dropped
from sight on a Sunday afternoon.
It was last heard reporting "all well, T"
to the American Airlines hangar at
Newark, from a position in the Hud-
son Valley. Two days later the
charred bodies of the occupants were
found in wreckage at the top OF q
Catskill mountain peak.
Clyde Holbrook and Don Barron
were the pilots. Murray said 1t was
not known which one was at the
controls.

LONG MEN PLAN +.
PROBE OF CITY
Five Legislators Say New
Orleans Investigation Is
Without Politics.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. August 24.-Five
legislators who have voted down the
line with the Huey P. Long forces
in the General Assembly have been
designated to serve on the Legislative
Committee to investigate affairs OF
the City OF New Orleans.
The speaker of the House, Allen
]. Ellender, q Long leader, who made
the appointments, announced shortly
afterward, "We don't want to mix
this with politics" and said he had
recommended that start Of the in
uuiry be delayed until after the Sep
tember IL congressional primary.
Goes to Baton Rouge.
Ellender designated the representa-
tives from his home in Houma and
Immediately went to Baton Rouge
where Senator Long has been receiv-
ing his followers for the past several
days.
I'VE want thorough investigation
OF the city and don't want to mix
this with politics." Ellender said on
his arrival there. I'VE want this to
rebound to the good of the City Of
New Orleans and If there is any
thing wrong there, We want to cor
rect it."
He said he favored an immediate
organization meeting of the commit
tee preparatory to beginning the in
vestigation after the September IL
election"
The House group. constituting a
ma jority of the proposed nine-mem-
Der committee, will act with four Sen
ators yet to be named by Lieut.. Gov.
John B. Fournet, who like Ellender is
lieutenant In the Long political
machine.
Unlimited as to scope Of subject
matter or expense, the committee is
to inquire into the administration of
Longs arch foe, Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley, and into the New Orleans
judiciary.
Discrimination Charged.
The Walmsley forces turned loose
a fresh blast on their opponents,
charging they had been discrimin-
ated against in the selection of pri-
mary commissioners in adjacent par
ishes, and two other Louisiana mayors
raised their voices against the Long
regime.

visions of a measure adopted at the
recent special session of the Legisla-
ture, or by any other agency"
Addressing an American Legion
convention at Lake Charles, Mayor
J. A. Trotti of that city, bitter critic
of Long, said:
Speaking to you as one soldier to
another, say to you am for the
constituted authorities of these United
States of America, but I am not in

GOVERNMENT
90AC1S

The Bankhead boys were behind the
cotton price pegging by the A. A. A.
They wanted the Government to lend
13 cents a pound, but all they could
get was II cents.
The insiders say similar price peg
ging steps will be taken on other major
farm commodities.
The idea is that such a system saves
the farmer from dumping his products
on the market. His debts come due
around this time of year. Government
loans will enable him to meet his debts
and yet hold his crop of the market
for better prices later.
O'Connor Out of Race.

presidential spokesman said some days
ago he did not know who would be
governor, but O'Connor wouldn't.
One reason is Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau. He and O'Connor do not
like the same things.
A British economist has written q
book called Americas Coming Boom, I"
in which he says, among other things:
President RooSevelt's rules and regu-
lations at the moment are stiff, but,
when young horses are broken in, they
require tight rein at the outset.
Subsequently. you can ride them on a
snaffle with safety
More important than the reorgani-
zation of the N r. A. was the fuss
created in the aquarium downstairs,
when they put a Republican turtle
from Boston into the same tank with
a Democratic turtle. The BoStonian
insisted he was only playing, but the
young Democrat exhibited piece
missing from his leg to prove it was

that of Senator Fletcher, when asked

You may recall that anonymous
pamphleteers and jibe-makers have
had a rather important hand in all
political movements before and after
the excellent job they did in fomenting
the French Revolution.
This current campaign is hardly
approaching the reuolu tionary
stage, as yet, but it has the aroma
of centralized conception and skill
tul execution.
1t seems to be the lighter side of
a we'll backed financially organiza-
tion of efforts against the Roosevelt
reforms. Gentlemen who have an ear
for keyholes avow that certain large
industry is now creating a Washington
organization to keep close tab on new
deal intentions. This happens to be a
legitimate move, but it has strong po-
litical possibilities, because the partiCu-
lar industry is all against President
Roosevelt.
Opposition Holding Of.

congressional elections are over. Prep
arations for them are already Matched.
The mise ones agree that it 10ould
be a tOGSte OF money to try to do

They figure it is impossible to make
q dent in the Roosevelt strength
then.
