ened that apparently the only hope
of establishing their identities lay
in handful of trlnketS which were
not destroyed in the fire.
The driver was identified as a
substitute who took over the wheel
of the San r1ranciSoo-Portland
northbound vehicle at Redding.
Capt. F. S. Curren Of the Sims
Civilian Conservation Corps camp,
located about a mile from the site
Of the wreck, said he and corps
Of CCC boys saw at least seven
bodies IN the flame -charred wreck
age.
.. Wilson was still sitting in the
drivers seat" he said. I'VE could
see other bodies strewn through
the bus"
Curren said he was aroused about
1870 am. by a man named Smith
who operates a service station about
25 yards from where the bus crash
ed and caught fire.
Curren said he rushed with a
squad of his enrollees to the scene
to find flames leaping from the
wreckage.
"It was SO hot we couldn't get
near it." he said. I'VE eXtinguished
the flames, but when We left at
am, the heat still made it i'm
possible to get inside the bus.
1T must have struck the bank
with terrific force, because it ran
part way up the side of the cut,
dislodged boulders weighing half
ton, then turned over on its top.
Its lying in the highway with all
four wheels upright"
He said he doubted that the wreck
was caused by a tire blowout be-
cause the two front tires protrud-
ing into the air were intact, al
though afire. Flames had consumed
the two rear tires, he said
He said tire marks on the high
way indicated that disaster struck
the bus within a split second.
II wouldn't care to hazard a
guess as to what caused the wreck" "
he explained, but the bus OBJ
viously went out of control for
only a short distance before it skid
| ded and crashed into the embank-
ment."
The road is cut through noun
tain spur at that point on the ap-
proach to a slight curve.
There were tire marks in soft
dirt off the edge of the road for a
short distance, then marks where
the tires skidded and then the bus
hit the bank.
Its total wreck and what
wasn't smashed in the crash is burn
ed nearly to cinders. There was no
possibility of anyone escaping
alive. 1t was a terrible sight"

VENICE, June a. (UP)-
The Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, smiling and happy,
arrived at the famous city
of canals at $3.50 pm. today
enroute to their secluded honey
moon retreat in Austria.
They were cheered by 1000 per-
sons at the station.
Military and naval officers We
netian citizens and tourists crowd
ed around the Gucal coach as the
train arrived. They cheered when
the Duke and Duchess left the
train and went to the quay.
Police held the crowd back while
the honeymooners embarked on a
motor launch furnished by the mu-
nicipality and started a tour of the
city, having three hours for sight
seeing before starting for Arnold
stein, Austria.
The Duke and Duchess were well
coined at the state by the British
consul, Allen Napier, and by Count
Bellegarde on behalf of the NUM-
cipality of Venice.
The Duke wore single breasted
brown plaid suit without vest, a
blue shirt and a red tie.
The Duchess was in blue and
white print frock and small white
hat.
Both looked a bit self-conscious
as they made their way to the quay
between lanes of cheering crowds.
The reception here was the most
enthusiastic the bridal couple have
received during their journey. At
Milan, they were greeted by crowd
of about 500, who clapped and
cheered, shouting king, king, king

White House conference.
Instead Mr.. Roosevelt reiterated
his determination to fight for his
court program and declared his be-
lief that the country was behind
him in the drive to reorganize the
judiciary.
He emphasized that his judiciary
program embraces changes in the
whole federal court system not
only the supreme court. This en-
phasis on the lower court phase of
the program and his suggested
changes in judicial procedure
strengthened belief in some quarters
that despite the outcome of the
fight over the supreme court, ad-
ministration would carry forward
its drive for the rest of the original
Roosevelt program.

PROPER ACCIDENT
ANALYSES URGED
Lack of Proper Study Held
Hampering Safety
Authorities.

Lack of proper accident analyses
and reports Is hampering traffic safety
authorities in their efforts to reduce
the Nations mounting trafic death
toll. the Committee on Safe High
ways of the American Road Build
ers' Association was told today.
Harold F. Hammond, traffic engi-
neer for the National Bureau of Cas-
ualty and Insurance Underwriters,
declared standard form of accident
analyses and reporting should be
drawn up and adopted nationally. At
present, he said, important data on
accidents, such as the condition of
the road, the weather prevailing and
other factors. are omitted by police
authorities, thus making it practically
impossible to determine the cause
OF the accident. He said he has
found highways themselves are re-
sponslble for Is per cent of the
traffic mishaps.
Seek Definite Program.
Fifty OF the country's leading high
way engineers and safety experts are
participating in the sessions of the
Safety Committee In all effort to
formulate a definite program looking
toward the elimination OF avoidable
highway accidents. Other commit
tees OF the road builders association,
which is holding its thirty-ffth an
nual May meeting at the Willard
Hotel, also were meeting today.
Dean S. S. Steinberg of the College
OF Engineering, University of Mary
land. chairman Of the Subcommittee
on Public Education of the Safety
Committee, urged the association to
finance an educational program which
would include reprinting of reports
dealing with highway safety for dis
tribution to public officials and organ
izations interested in the problem Of
reducing the toll of death and per-
manent disabilities due to automobile
and truck crashes. During the dis
cussion of his report one delegate ex-
pressed the belief that the fact that
speed is not the primary cause OF &C.
cidents should be emphasized to the
public. Inadequate and deteriorating
highways must be considered one of
the ma jor causes, he said
| Guard Rails Discussed.
Various types of guard rails in use
today came in for considerable criti-
cism by members of the committee.
One representative said he felt guard
rails have caused more accidents than
| they have prevented because Of i'm
proper construction. The Subcommit-
tee on Guard Rails was urged to collect
data on the different types now in
use and attempt to select the safest
type for use throughout the Nation.
Other subjects discussed at the ses-
sion included alignment and grade of
highways. cross-section and roadside
development, highway illumination,
highway intersections and grade-cross-
ing elimination and roadway surfaces.
Night visibility comparable to that
in the daytime should be provided on
all main highways, the committee was
told. The electrical industry was criti-
cized for not taking a more aggressive
part in the problem of providing ade-
quate highway illumination, it was
contended.
