 AN ACT OF COD

Washington, April 23.-Up)- Col. Harold H. Hartney, special in- vestigator for the senate air safety committee said today that there is no mystery whatsoever" about the recent airplane crash near Union- town which caused l2 deaths. "The pilot got on a multiple beam course established a fix which turned out to be 40 miles off and then pro- ceeded from there" he said in a verbal report to Chairman Royal s. Copeland of the committee.
 Snow static plotted out the radio beams and after he had fixed the premise for his course he had no way of correcting 1t.
 Under normal conditions he would have been all right. don't think blame should be attached to anyone. It was an Act of God m my opinion. a combination of the effect of the radio multiple beam and snow static"

TAX MEASURE TO
 CUT BIG MELON
American Stockholders to Make $3,36O,OOO,OOO
 When Bill Is Effective

Copyright, 1886, by United Press)
 Washington, April g - (UP) - American stockholders will cut $3, ,360, 100000 dividend melon this year if President Roosevelt's new tax bill becomes law, treasury experts forecast today.
 The melon will be cut, the experts said, if the complicated new tax pro- posal works the way they expect it to. Republican leaders and business spokesmen have expressed doubt that the treasury figures correctly represent the effect of the new tax.
 The melon-equal to almost $26 for every individual in the coun- try--is the treasury's estimate of extra dividends which corporations will pay out because of the new cor porate tax law. The proposed law places 8 heavy tax on earnings re- tained by corporations.
 Only Flaw in Melon
 The only flaw in the stockholders melon, the treasury declared. is the fact. that those who get the dividend checks will have to pay more income taxes.
 Even so. the new tax plan should

Best Doctors in Eastern Canada Tending to Both

 IMPROVING NICELY Dead Man Youngest of TriO-RObertsOn Was
 Oldest of All

BY LAUGHLIN F. CUNNINGHAM Copyright, 1886, by United PresO
 Moose River, N. S., April g - (UP) - The best doctors in eastern Canada strove to- day to restore the health of two Toronto men who were snatched from death after being entombed for more than 10 days in a collapsed gold mine.
 Heroic miners completed their part of the rescue when, after days of feverish tunnelling at the peril of their own lives, they brought Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scadding out of their prison Al feet under ground at 12:44 8. m.
 The rest was up to the doctors. They felt little fear for Robertson. But Scadding's condition was suffi. ciently serious that they decided he should be flown to Halifax imme~ diately for treatment of his infect- ed feet. Dr. w. E. Gallie of Tor- onto telephoned Halifax to send a plane at once.
 Dirty UnShaven, Weak
 The two men, dirty, unshaven, so weak they barely could stand up, but still able to smile their thanks to the rescuers, were put to bed in an improvised hospital here short- ly after they were brought out of the pit. Cheering and hymn sing ing of the rejoicing rescue crews was cut short so they could sleep.
 Doctors later reported. however, that the two had slept only about two hours--either because of nerv- ous reaction from the 242 hours and 45 minutes of imprisonment, most of the time without food and in total darkness and silence, or because the doctors did not wish them to sleep too long at first for fear of giv- time to develop.
 Dr. Gallie said Dr. Robertson's condition seemed satisfactory and he was resting quietly, too weak to talk to anyone save his wife, who for days had waited anxiously
