His health is failing more each

FIGHT BRIDGE

Construction of a bridge con-
Meeting New York and Rhode
Avenues in the Northeast section
was urged by representatives Of
the citizens associations in the
area yesterday at a hearing before
the District Commissioners.
The citizens opposed a bill intro
duced in Congress at the request
of the Pennsylvania Railroad per-
hitting a railroad bridge over New
York Avenue near West Virginia
Avenue, and the establishment Of
commercial area in the vicinity
for coal yards and other business
purposes.
Protests against this measure
were presented on the grounds
that such a development would
ruin adjacent residential property.
The Commissioners ordered that a
complete study be made Of the
problem.
Three bridges across the rail-
road tracks in the Northeast sec
ton are called for under the law
providing for Union Station.

IN SEN. CUTTING
DEATH CRASH

Bad flying weather and mis-
judgment by the two pilots and
ground crew directing the plane
are blamed by the Bureau OF Air
Commerce for the crash Of the
huge TWA airliner. Sky Chief,
near Atlanta, Mo-, May 6.
The report of Federal investi'
gators, following an exhaustive
inquiry into the crash which
claimed the lives Of Senator Cut
ting Of New Mexico and three
others, has been approved by the
bureau executives and will be pre-
sented to Secretary Of Commerce
Roper when he returns from Cali.

Facts of Finding
The finding states:
1. The pilot and cOpilOt mis-
Judged their position.
2. Attempting q forced land.
ing on q muddy field, the plane
was swung parCly aDOuC' . Wig
struck the ground and the ship
was wrecked.
3. At the time Of the crash
the huge liner had sufficient gas
to remain aloft for another 30
minutes.
The plane left Los Angeles the
previous evening and was due to
land at Kansas City at 1855 a. m.
Encountering severe fog at that

South of Beam
Flying slightly to the south OF
the radio beam, the filters brought
the plane to another beam south
of Kirksville, which they followed
until they reached a point which
they believed was directly over
the KirkSville field.
This misjudgment Of their posi-
ton was one major factor in the
subsequent tragedy, the investiga'

Another Veteran
Who Needs Help

To the Editor of The Times:
My husband is one of the
men you call war veteran.
During sixteen years Of mar
riage my husband has been
ailing and he isn't getting any
better. He almost died when
he had the flu while in the
service the latter part of 1918.
When discharged from the serV-
ice my husband was not pres
ent for an examination. He
received his discharge by mail
in 1921. If he had gone
through an examination I
don't think he would be in the
condition he is today. They
cannot prove what condition he
was in when discharged. But
know better than anyone else.
