Gibson said he would question
Hopson, Monday, concerning Rob-
inson's activities. He said the three
men in Robinson's room would be
asked to give an official explana-
ton of their presence.
Invited to Dinner
Mcintyre issued a formal state
ment after the incident saying he
had been invited to dinner by Rob-
ert and Carter and that they had
stopped in Robinson's room to
''pick him up"
Hopson, revealed yesterday that
Patrick ]. Hurley, former secre-
tary of war and attorney for A. G.
E., had advised against appearance
of representatives of the company
before senate and house commit
tees on the ground they might be
given the works. and asked ques-
tons they could not answer.
He was ordered to supply names
of banks from which he told the
house committee that Associated
Gas and Electric borrowed the
million dollars spent in it's fight
against the utilities bill. The mon
ey, Hopson said, was borrowed
from large eastern banks.
Spending Far More
Hopson implied the industry
would have been justified in
spending far more than. it did to
preserve the value of utilities Sc
curieies.
"Such measures as the Wheeler
BILL" he said, would destroy about
half the value of such securities,
or approximately 100000.
The house rules committee
abandoned a scheduled hearing of
Hopson today but considered plans
for continuing the investigation
after congressional adjournment.

Mrs. Post May Not Fly
Ponca City, Okla, Aug. IL
(UP)-Mrs. Wiley Post, widow of
the world-famous flyer, may not fly
to Seattle where his body is being
brought back from Alaska, 1t de-
veloped today.
A sudden shift in plans caused
her to delay takeoff for Seattle.
which she had planned last night.
"She may not so, II certain ar
rangements are worked out" said
L. Z. Gray, Posts brother-in law,
with whom she Is staying.
Gray said plans were being con-
sidered for returning the body
from Seattle to Maysville, Okla,
Posts old home, by airplane.
Nothing Yet Decided
Nothing definite has been de-
cided,' he said, but she may not
go, The body may be brought here
by plane from Seattle"
Gray said that in such case, a
plane OF the Phillips Petroleum
Company would be used to convey
Posts body from Seattle.
Last night the Phillips Company
volunteered a plpane to take the
widow to Seattle, and she accepted.
She was scheduled to leave Ponca
City early today, but the new
plans delayed her, with the possi-
bility she will remain here until
the body is started from Seattle.
Mrs. Post, Gray said, Is over
whelmed with grief. She Is bearing
the strain "bravely, and Is not SO
unnerved as she was yesterday"
he said.

lated near the top Of the world,
Morgan found himself cast in a
tragic but important role. Briefly,
he reported to the government on
the crash and, today, came his full
report:

excited natives on the beach, and
walking down, discovered one ma
two all out of breath, gasping in
pid3eon English the strange tale Of

After repeated questioning, I
learned that this native had wit.
messed the crash Of an airplane at
his sealing camp some Is miles
south Of Barrow and that ne had
run the entire distance to summon
aid.
THE native claimed that the
plane, flying very low, suddenly APP
peared. from the south, and, APP
parentfy sighting the tents. the
plane then circled several times
and finally settled down on the
small river near the camp. Two
men climbed out, one wearing a
rag on his sore eye (Post) and
the other a big man with boots
(Rogers),
Asked Directions
THE big man then called a ma
tive to the waters edge and asked
the direction and distance to Point
Barrow. The direction given, the
men then climbed back into the
plane and TAXED off to the far side
of the river for the take.oft into
the wind.
AFTER short run tho plane
slowly lifted from the water to a
height of about SO feet, banking
slightly to the right, when, evi.

THE plane slipped Off on the
right wing and nosed down into
the water, turning completely over,
and the native claimed 4 duh ex.
plosion occurred and most OF the
right wing dropped of and q film
of gasoline and oil soon covered
the water.
Turned and RAN
The native, frightened by the
explosion. turned and ran. but he
soon controlled his fright and re-
turned. calling loudly to the men
In the plane. Receiving no answer,
the native then made the decision
to como to Barrow for help.
with the completion Of the
story we knew the plane to be
that of Post and Rogers, and
quickly assembled q crew OF IA
Eskimos and departed In an open
whale boat powered with small
gas motor. Hampered by recent ice
noes and a strong adverse current.
1t took nearly three hours to- reach
our destination.
Shortly Appearance
1.-THE dense fog, with semi. dark
ness, gave the upturned plane a
most ghostly appearance and our
hearts chilled &C the thought Of
what we might find there. AS we
approached nearer the plane, we
soon realized that no human could
possibly survive the terrific crash.
The plane was but a huge mass Of
twisted and broken wood and met
al.
1.-THE natives by this time had
managed to cut into the cabin and
extricated the body of Rogers,
who apparently had been well
back in the cabin when the plane
struck and more or less protected
by the baggage carried therein.
1--WE soon learned We would
have q difficult job of freeing Post
from the wreckage as the plane
had struck with such terrific speed
1t had forced the engine well back
into the cabin, pinning the body Of
Post securely.
Tore Plane Apart
with some little difficulty we
managed to tear the plane apart
and release the body of Post.
Both bodies were then care
fully laid and wrapped with elder.
