WASHINGTON, April 6. (UP)
President Roosevelt in a special
message today to congress on re-

same as that which was indicated
in the budget message.

mcrce directed 4 search covering

from Burbank TO Kansas City.
If the plane had crashed it
would be the nations ninth ma
jor airwayS disaster in three
months and it might increase the
death toll in that time to &c.
Built for Holland air line, the
plane was on its "shakedOwn'
flight. II had just been complct-
ed, pronounced perfect in tests,
and was headed for New York to
be shipped to Europe.
Glen MoSer. chief Douglas pi-
lot, and Joe Voolfolk, co-pilot and
navigator, were ut the controls.
Six passengers were aboard.
Throughout the many hours of
anxious silence, the Douglas COM
pany, TranScOntinental and West
ern AirlineS and the bureau of
commerce made quiet inquiries at
airportS of the west and south
west that had radio or telephone
systems of communications. The
plane was using the TWA and air
commerce bureau route. None
had seen or heard from the plane.
A TWA plane that flew the
same route from Burbank 10 min
utes ahead of the missing trans
port reported it was forced to fly
by instruments through thick
clouds and rain over the noun
tainS.
The missing plane should have
reached Albuquerque early Satur-
day afternoon.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Arizona Clean,
Sir:
In the last issue of your paper
I was very pleased to read the edi-
torial entitled, "a Good Man Gone
Wrong" which to my mind is a
logical and severe criticism of the
action on the part of our Rep. in
Congress, John R. Murdock in vot-
ing against the Gavagan anti
Ilynching bill.
Surely you were right in stating
that those Of our race who had
close contract with Mr.. Murdock
| in his educational endeavors, were
more than surprised to find his
actions not at all coinciding with
his previously expressed views in
regards to our glorious America
and how is should hover and pro-
test all alike and be a refuge for
the weak.
How often has he said to the
effect that America needs strong
| laws and respectable law-abiding
citizens to maintain them. But,
Mr.. Editor, "By their works ye
shall know them. This statement
is so applicable to our public men
and women.
Does Congressman Murdock en-
tend to uphold and foster those
fine American ideals and principles
which he has so earnestly advo-
,ated, or does he expect to use hts
high office and influence in per-
)etuating and upholding the very
opposite of Americanism mob
'ule, lawlessness, and general dis
respect for law and order?
Whereas he has been held in
such high esteem by citizens Of our
race, we now believe he has shat
tered some of our high hopes in
regards to his stateman like views.
Would that every Negro organiza-
ton in Arizona register its disap-
provial of his action by sending
him a letter expressing regrets
that he did not see fit to support
this much-needed legislation.
Again, let me say, I most heart
lily agre with the views in your
editorial. I believe that our news
papers are most Indispensable ms
titutions and by far the most valu-
able and Inexpensive source Of in
formation and enlightenment for
our people. And good editorials
are the principal factors in the
molding of public sentiment.
May we expect more of them,
Mr.. Editor, in our own newspaper,
The Arizona Clean of which we all
have a right to We proud.
Congratulations and more power
TO you.
