 "The temperature showed 190 de- grees when I had the engine turn ing over 3600 revolutions to carry the overload, but when I throttled down to about 330O it stayed steady at ITO degrees

 Owen attributed his mishap to landing in the false dusk just after sunset. ,r4

 The pilot said he probably had sufficient gasoline to have flown on direct to Seattle, but his tacho- meter shaft had broken and he was uncertain about the revolutions the motor was turning, and he feared the engine might be turning too fast and using his gasoline too fast. He also was having difficulty feed- ing his reserve supply of lubricating oil Instead of rigging pump to pour in additional oil, he had counted on pouring it from a spare can into pipe he had located on his cowling. Every time he poured a quart, about half of it blew back in his face, and the little cabin was so covered with oil that he was hav- ing difficulty seeing out the win dow.
 Owen had built emergency gas tanks in the cabin so that he was able to see out of but one side of the cabin. It was on his blind side that he crashed

EMPHASIZES VS. RESETTLEMENT

On the strength of this estimate the munitions committee came out late in the session favoring part naturalization, emitting previous suggestions for the government to set up its own airplane plant.
 To Senator Nye the French ex- ample might appear particularly apt. Its huge Schneider Creusot munitions plant repeatedly has been held aloft by the committee as an instance of an armament maker assertedly free to tantalize rival na- tiops into heavy purchases in the belief that each was arming against the other.

WILSON CHARGE BOOMERANG


 The munitions committee investi- gation of the arms and shipbuilding industry, headed by Nye, was a Senate sensation for more than a year. Last Spring it went into semi-eclipse when the North Dako- tain drew down upon it the wrath of Senator Glass of Virginia for say- ing President Wilson "falsified" in testimony at a Senate hearing on World War treaties.
 But even with its light almost suuffed out by the opposition en- gepdered by the Wilson affair, the committee slogged along through the spring and published results of a study by two departmental engin- eers (not army or nayy) in which it was estimated that for 47,0O0, ,O00 the government could make itself independent of private munitions manufacturers, shipbuilders and air plane makers.

SENATOR ME
 IS AT II AGAIN,
 VARIOUS WAYS
Concerned About Drought But Two Other Issues
 Before Him

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. = In North Dakota Senator Nye is much concerned about the drought, but very likely certain developments are causing him to devote many hours also to planning a renewed crusade for government ownership of the munitions industry and an attack on the growing cost of national de- fense.
 In the last days of the past Con- gress, Nye had hard cards to play, but two factors now have presented themselves which he may look upon as useful aces. One is the decision of the Blum government in France to nationalize the munitions indus try there. The other is the expec- tation this administration will build two new battleships at an estimated cost of $50,000. GOO each.

and cuts about the body. It is claimed that she will have to re- main in the hospital and under med- ical treatment for a lengthy period, and that her future activities will be greatly curtailed.
 The writ charges that the young CT Curullo was responsible for the crash, that he failed to reduce his speed, and that he failed to signal his approach while the Hayes car was turning into the side street. It is further alleged that the brakes on his car were defective, in viola ton of the state motor vehicle reg ulations. Attachments have been placed on several pieces of property owned by the older Curullo. The land is in Waterville, Oakville and Waterbury.

Ships clung to port and coast guard radio stations constantly broadcast warnings to those at sea to hasten to shelter.
 Early today the storms center was 400 miles southwest of Cape Hatteras and moving northwestward at between 10 and 12 miles an hour.
 storm Warnings
 As the vortex approached the coast, the weather bureau extended its estimates of the area threatened. Storm warnings displayed last night from the Virginia Capes to Beau fort, N. O., were ordered up south to Southport, N. c.
 The last advisory bulletin issued by the hurricane warning system, timed at 2:45 a. m. EST, said:
 Northwest storm warnings order ed on North Carolina coast south of Beaufort Warnings now displayed from Southport, N. O., to Virginia Capes. Great tropical hurricane central 8. m. EST, approximately 400 miles southeast of Cape Hat teras, moving northwestward about 10 to 12 miles per hour. Will cause increasing northeast and northwest winds today on North Carolina and Virginia coast, probably reaching gale force by night. All interests this area advised take precautions and stand by for further advices. Caution advised vessels in path of storm"
 Battering Bermuda
 The fringe of the storm opposite to that expected to strike here to- night was battering Bermuda today with a gale and flooding gusts of rain that kept the big S.S. Mon- arch of Bermuda in port. She had been scheduled to sail yesterday for New York.
 Almost in the hurricanes vortex the British S.S. Orduna was riding mountainous seas. Her master ra- dioed the hurricane warning system that the ship was surviving, but suffering a frightful battering. Be- tween Puerto Rico and Bermuda the Norwegian steamer Noravind stood by the Norwegian S.S. Tor vanger, severely damaged by the storm. They were trying to make Bermuda.
 The Red Cross sent George Myer, expert director of disaster relief, to Raleigh today to supervise work there.
 September Is Storm Month
 September is the month in which southern North America and the Caribbean islands always expect the hurricanes that are the weather scourge of that otherwise climait- cally blessed region. It was in Sep tember, 35 years ago, that one of the greatest storms of them all struck Galveston, Tex, and with a great tidal wave, killed 5000 per- sons.
 Coast guard authorities were in- formed by the weather bureau that the center of the storm appeared to be headed for the vicinity of Norfolk, Va. Coast guard airplanes working out of St. Petersburg and Miami were busy warning small craft without radio of their danger. The guard has cutters and patrol vessels ready for emergency duty at Miami, Key West, Port Ever gfilades, Savannah, Norfolk and Wilmington. Two trucks quipped with two-way radio stations are at Port Everglades ready for dispatch into any disaster zone.

John Janusaitis, 70, of 36 Lafay- cite street, was held without bond as . coroner's prisoner at police headquarters today following 8 hearing on the death of Mrs. Mary Janusaitis, or Radwick, 45, of the same address as an indirect result of Q beating allegedly administered by the man last Friday night. At the conclusion of the hearing, dur ing which he questioned three witt llesseS in. addition to Janusaitis, Coroner fohn T. Monzani said he would later conduct another exam irlation and that he would also fully investigate the medical as- poets" of the case.
 Facing Charges
 Because of the report of Dr. Ed ward H. Kirschbaum, medical ex- alniner, disclosing that Mrs. Janu- saitis' death was caused primarily by sclerosis of the liver, further in- vestigation is necessary to deter mine the nature of the charge to be placed against her alleged as- sailant. According to Dr. Kirsch- baum, none of the many bruises on the womari's body, affected the vi- tai organs, although, he said, the beating she had received was un- doubtedly a contributing factor" toward her death. He said the au- topsy revealed bad general condi- ton, and that she would have even tually succumbed to the liver con- dition.
 It is the second such case which MT. Monzani has investigated since assuming his duties as coroner, he said.
 Correct Name
 Mrs. Janusaitis' correct name is said by the undertaken handling fu- neral arrangements to be Mrs. Mary
