There never has been time,

convinced there never will be a time

There was plenty of warrant for

spin at an altitude of not more
than $50 feet.
1t was a loWwing, two-seater
Army airplane. The wheels were

or was going to attempt typical
landing in bad terrain with the
wheels up.
The pilot never pulled out of the
spin. He struck a pole, went through

I was working at a plant about
half block from where the airplane
fell. My attention was attracted by
the sound of a motor unusually low.
The engine seemed to be back
firing. The airplane then was about
200 feet high and headed toward
Boiling Field, coming from the
northeast.
Just over the tWo-story house of
Robert Thompson cat 1907 Thir-
teenth street S.E) the airplane dived
downward at 45-degree angle and
swung around to the left, heading
north.
I don't know whether the ship was
in a spin or the pilots were trying
to land on the narrow residential
street. The houses are pretty close
together and electric light wires are
strung on poles on the west side.
The airplane crashed into a light
pole and came to a halt half over
a car at the curb. The forward
impact seemed to shoot the gaso-
line down the street ahead. There
was an instantaneous explosion of
flames. It was an inferno as I ran
up, too hot to approach.
I never saw the occupants of the
plane because of the smoke and
f1ame. Some mechanics ran up
from an automobile. sales place a

Fs the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission overrode the vigorous dis
sent of one member today and wrote
labor protective provisions into rail-
road merger and lease decisions.
The majority disregarded the con-
tention of Commissioner Charles D..
Mahaffle that the I. c. C. was with
out jurisdiction "over the compen-
sation and expenses of railroad en-
ployes'
Subject to compliance with speci-
fed labor provisions, the commits
sion authorized the Louisiana &
Arkansas Railway Co. to take over
control of the Louisiana, Arkansas
& Texas Railway Co. and merge
the properties.
In another order containing SINH
lar labor safeguards the commits
sion authorized the Chicago. Rock
Island 81 Pacific Railway Co. to
lease the properties of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Gulf Railway Co.
In each order the commission
stipulated that retained employees
will not be forced to accept positions
at reduced compensation for a Ave-
year period; that dismissed en-
ployes be given compensation in
proportion to the length Of their
service, and that employees required
to change the place of their employ
ment be compensated
Commissioner Mahaffie dissented
in each case in regard to the labor
provisions. He said
Il think 1t is bad and dangerous
policy for a commission, such as
this, to undertake to regulate mat
tiers of social welfare without clear
statutory authority. Such a policy
can lead only to confusion and mis-
understanding"

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 9-Col. Fulgen-
clio Batista, bemedaled and smartly
uniformed chief of the Cuban Army
passed smilingly through Miami to-
day en- route to Washington for a
visit with President Roosevelt, to
which he looked forward as "a great
honor"
A special four -motored clipper
ship. which was used as the pioneer
Pacific survey plane, brought the
Cuban leader here from Havana
in an hour and As minutes. He mo-
tored behind a police escort direct
to his train, which left As minutes
later and will put him in the Capital
at 11:25 am. tomorrow.
Local army and navy officials, rep
resentatives of the city and Cham
Der of Commerce and prominent
Cubans welcomed Col. Batista with
flowers and embraces. There was
no band, however. either at the air.
port or the station and some of the
Cubans were heard to remark upon
this omission.
Pleasantries such as compliments
upon the beauty of Miami and re-
marks about the weather-"just as
good as Cuba 's"-were the only
statements Col Batista made. Pedro
Martinez Fraga, the Cuban Ambas-
sador, acted as interpreter.
1nterviewers had no opportunity
to discuss with the colonel the pos
sible purposes of his first excursion
from his native island beyond the
nominal one of attending Armistice
Day exercises at Washington as the
guest of General Malin Craig, chief
OF staff of the United States Army
There has been speculation that
Col Batista might discuss a num-
Der of projects with officials of this
Government, including military CO.
operation, modification of the reci-
procity treaty to lower the United
States sugar tariff and restore the
advantages Cuban tobacco enjoyed
under the former A. A. A., and
establishment of a bank of issue
and currency system.
The Cuban Army chief was ac-
companied by military and naval
aides, his wife and secretaries. The
party will remain in Washington
