Flaming Bodies Hurled Out
Harry Bruno, American press
representative for the operators
of the dirigible, was one of those
closest to the ship when the ex-
plosion occurred. He said:

under the nose of the Zeppelin
when there was a terrific ex'

News Service)

BERLIN, May 7.-Theories that
sabotage might have been respon-
sible for the crash Of the giant
dirigible Hindenburg at Lakehurst
were discredited by the Reich
propaganda ministry today as Off
Gals prepared to launch a search
ing investigation Of the disaster.
It was announced an official
commission to investigate the
crash would sail aboard the liner
Europa from Cherbourg, France.
Members of the commission,
which will include DR.. Hugo Ecke-
nee, famed airShip commander and
chlAf ok the Zeppelin company,
spent the entire night studying
reports of the disaster cabled from
LakehurSt.
DR.. Eckener left Graz, Austria,
to join other members of the COM
mission, who arranged to fly to
the French port tomorrow morn
ing.
An official of the propaganda
ministry told International News
Service:
II cannot believe sabotage
was responsible, but am unable
to express q definite opinion
pending arrival Of the commits
Si0n."
It was understood the commits
sion was chosen to- make the
probe on orders from Chancellor
Hitler and Air Minister Hermann
Wilhelm Goering.
Air ministry experts, meanwhile,
attributed the explosions and fire
to the inflammability Of the hy-
drogen carried within its giant
hull.

DR.. Eckener left Graz, Austria,
to Join other members of the

French port this afternoon.
An official of the propaganda
ministry told International News
service:
"I cannot believe sabotage
was responsible, but am unable
to express q definite opinion

siOn."
It was understood the commits
sion was chosen to make the probe
at the express wishes Of Chancellor
Hitler and Air Minister Hermann
Wilhelm Goering.
Air ministry experts, meanwhile,
attributed the explosions and fire
which sent the Hindenburg crash
ing to earth in a flaming holocaust
to the inflammability of the n.y.
drogen carried within its giant
hull.
A spokesman for the air min
istry said:
''It is pity the ship was not
filled with helium."
Town in Mourning
Meanwhile, Friedrichshafen,
where the LZ-130 is under con-
struction and where the linden
burg was built, was plunged into
deep mourning. Crowds besieged
the Zeppelin works here awaiting
word of the fate of their relatives
aboard the stricken ship.
Chief Engineer Duerr, who
played an important part in con-
struction Of the Hindenburg, said:
eve are continuing cOnstruc-
ton Of the new Zepplin as
drafted and personally do not
believe changes in its COnstruc-
tiOn will be necessary.

WINS
PRIZE ON RANCH
DWIGHT WILLIAMS, A CASCADE
COUNTY YOUTH, PLACES
FIRST IN ACCOUNTING

Dwight Williams, Ii, of Vaughn,
Cascade county, is the winner Of
Montana state hOnors in the nat
ional Al farm accounting contest
for the recently closed farm year.
1t was his first attempt in such
a project in six years of club work.
He receives 500 in merchandise
or a 75O-pound capacity McCOrm-
ick- Deering cream separator.
The boys record will be judged for
western state honors and if he wins
the 1925 prize offered, his state prize
will go to an alternate. Five other
counties named champions. each of
whom received. a 81 prize. John Vuk-
onich of Joliet, Gerald Barber Of Den
ton, Stella Zebach of Creston and
Robert Greenizer of Geyser.
Williams kept his winning record
on the 800 acres farmed by his father.
It calls for an opening and closing
inventory, receipts and expenses and
a balance sheet.
In his analysis he states that the
record gave him many new ideas for
improving their farming business, prin-
cipally through making the best use
of machinery and adapting the crop
program to soil conservation, weather
and market outlook. Since these factors
change the picture from one year to
another, he declares that the farm
will never again be without a good
record-keeping system.
Should the boy win the sectional
contest he will compete for national
honors and a $500 prize, tractor or
motor truck provided with all other
prizes by the International Harvester
company, sponsor of the contest for
the third year.
