CUTTING DEATH
LAID0N i. s.
FAILURES
International News Service


Failure of three mechanical aids
to air navigation maintained BY
the U. S. Bureau of Air Commerce
caused the airplane crash thai
took the lives of Senator Bron
son Cutting (RO of New Mexico
and four other persons, the Sen
ate Air Safety Committee reported
today.
Col. Harold E. Hartney, chief
investigator, said:
"NO evidence of mechanical
failure of the plane having been
found, the pilots safe arrival
and landing at an alternative
destination was dependent upon
three aids to navigation fur
niShed by the bureau.
THREE NEEDS CITED
"FirSt, dependability of the
northeast leg of the Kansas
City radio range. Second, the
pilot needed the normal opera
ton of the radio station at
KirkSville, Mo. Third, he need
ed the best efficiency on the
three rotating light beacOns on
the last 20 miles southwest of
KirkSville Airport.
"All three failed him."
Hartney said also the crash
near Atlanta, Mo-, May 6, 1885,
could have been averted if a
bureau employe had not inter
rupted a radio beam at the Kan
Sas City airport while the first
section of the flight. 80 minutes
ahead of the Cutting plane, was
trying to land at the airport be-
fore the weather "closed in"
The pilot of the first flight tes
titled he was forced to circle the
field for % minutes waiting fol
completion of the broadcast" be
fore the beam was again turned
on to permit him to land. He
said he had been detained an
other Minute because the weather
would noS have permitted him to
land safely.
The report said the plane carry
ing Cutting was unable to land be
cause the weather had closed in
It was instructed to proceed tc
Kirksville, where erroneous
weather reports said the weather
was clear"
A previous report of the com
mittee, flied by Senator Copeland
CD of New York, chairman, con
demned the Bureau of Air Com
merce for negligence" in operat
ing equipment and recommended
a thorough Shakeup in personnel
beginning with Rex Martin, as
sistant chief Of the bureau.

 FATHER BUTLER
Former Local Priest Again HOnOred By New Lon. :
 don Friends

More than 200 men of all religious denominations gathered at the Mohican hotel in New London on Tuesday evening to say farewell to Rev. James T. Butler, who was re gently promoted from assistant pas- tor of St. Mary's church there to the pastorate of St. Joseph's church in Chester. Father Butler was formerly stationed at St. Francis church in this city.
 An extensive program was ar- ranged for the dinner held in the New London priests honor and as Q token of the esteem of those pres- ent he was presented with sub- stantial sum of money. Former Representative John M. Mallon, Jr., was toastmaster and one of the pclnts he stressed in his opening remarks was the fact that there wore persons of religious denomtna- tons other than the Catholic pres- ent. This, he said, was Q remark able tribute of the esteem in which Father Butler is held by the people of New London.
 Tn addressing the group present tho recently promoted priest stated that he very much regretted leaving New London, e city where he had found 50 many staunch friends, and extended all and sundry an Invita- ton to visit him at his new parish in Chester.

Claims of Waterbury social work CTS that WpA funds in the state are distributed unfairly receive supp port in an analysis of the work relief situation by the New Haven Register.

 The states four largest cities, New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury, were given during May WrA quotas averaging sl.s6 in fed- eral relief funds for each Sl spent by the cities. Small towns on the other hand, received funds which represent from S2.60 to e4 for each ei spent by these communities. City Included
