One Of Two Men Escap-

ONLY ONES ABLE TO
BAIL OUT, 1T IS SAID

HONOLULU, Jan. 25. (UP)-
Two Army bombeers collided in
mldair last night, killing six men,
and injuring two others. Both
planes crashed in flames.
The planes were flying at high
speed and met with terrific force
five hundred feet over Ford Is
land. The gasoline tanks appar
emily exploded while both planes
were still in the air, spraying liq-
uid fire over the crews Of both
planes.
The dead are: Lieut.. William G.
Beard, &c, San Francisco.
Staff Sgt. Bernard F. Jablon-
owsky, %, Honolulu.
Pvt. John B. Hartman, 81, Chi

Lieut.. Fisher extracted himself
from the crash, but his parachute
failed to open as he fell earth
ward. About 100 feet from the
ground his chute caught ong'a
rope extended from, an oil tank
to the ground, checking his fall a
few feet from the ground. He
sustained a few cuts and a bruis-
ed leg and, was suffering from q.
shock. =
Fisher and Lanigan were the
only two who were. able to bail
out Officers expressed the view

preparatory to landing and that
the other men had no chance to
extricate themselves. :. 20 ,
The planes were among three in
the last element of a group Of

The other seven planes remained

NO WEATHER
RECORDS SET
Heavy Rain And Severe
Cold Exceeded Here in
1916 And 1884
By T. w. VALENTINE
u. S. Weather Observer

Since last weeks report, Hen
Jacksonville has experienced two
very different types of weather,
heavy rain on the 18th and 10Th
and severe cold on the 23rd and
oath. Neither of these was any
thing like a record.
The rain amounted to AL in
ches in a little more than 80
hours. The record for Hender-
sonville is 9.88 inches in Is hours I;
that was in July 1916.
The cold spell was part of an
unusually severe cold wave which
covered a large part of the Uni
ted States. In many places rec
ords were broken One station in
Minnesota recorded Sc below zero.
In Hendersonville no records were
broken or even approached. The
lowest was 8 on the morning of
the 23rd. This represented a
drop of 40 degrees in about 10
hours. Nearly two years ago we
had a very similar, but rather
more extreme, experience. About
g pm. January %, 1884, the
thermometer stood at II; sixteen
hours later it had dropped 81 de-
grees to 10; the next morning it
went down to / degree above
zero.
The maximum for Thursday the
23rd, is reported as as. This was
the temperature at 6 p. m. We'd
nesday. The day, as far as Hen
Jacksonville weather observations
are concerned, begins and ends at
6 pm, and not at midnight.
Therefore the reading at 6 p. m.
Wednesday counts as part of
Thursdays record.

SENATE GROUP
0KEHS STATE
AAA UNIT.IDEA
House Votes Bill For
Farmers Compensation
Under Old Plan

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt and his
farm lieutenants yesterday de-
Tended constitutionality Of their
new soil Observation-Disclosures al
lotment program against doubts
raised by certain members of a
senate agriculture subcommittee.
Mr.. Roosevelt said at his press
conference that he hoped the New
Deals detectives for American
agriculture could be achieved with
out a constitutional amendment.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Agard Wallace and AAA Admin
iStrator Chester A. Davis told
members of the house agriculture
committee they believed the new
program was constitutional.
Without a record vote, the house
accepted the Jones amendment to
the deficiency supply bill which
was passed yesterday, assuring
farmers of payment for compli-
ance under the now invalid AAA
contracts. The amendment provid-
Ell 1926, 1896 to meet these OBJ
legations.
The senate agriculture subcom-
mittee unanimously adopted sub
stitute proposal setting up a dis
cretionary soil conservation plan
with a section which eventually
would set up 4S "little AAA's."
The measure introduced earlier
this week.
The farm program was brought
up at the presidents conference
asked if his soil conservation state
ment of last October, on which the
new farm bill was based, could be
accomplished through grants to
states.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Phi Beta Kappa
key swung prominently on his
watch chain as he leaned back in
his swivel chair. He replied that
he and his questioner were speak
ing Of two different things; his
October statement was on farm
detectives, while his questioner &c
ferred to methods.
Asked to rephrase the New
Deals detectives for agriculture,
Mr.. Roosevelt replied:
"To so manage the physical laid
use of the United States so as
to not only maintain the soil ferti-
lily but to hand back to the next
generation a country with better
producing power and a greater
permanency for land use than the
one we inherited from the present
generation.
eve have got to go a long
way" he added, "to catch up with
the mistakes of the past in order
to make the United States as pro
ductive as it was 100 years ago."
Wallace, after his appearance
before the house committee, said
lie told them the soil conservation
program was fundamental in I'M
pCvtance."
Davis said that if congress
wanted to go the whole way un-
der the supreme courts AAA deci-
sion it probably would have to
adopt some plan of cooperation
with establishing 4S AAA units.
The federal highway program and
it's aid to land grant colleges are
examples of this type of coopera-
ton.
He said there was "no doubt in
his mind" as to the constitutional
ity of the soil erosion program
giving the secretary of agriculture
broad powers to control produc-
ton through benefit payments to
farmers, which some senator's
think needs revision to make 1t
constitutional.
