AIRLINER CRASH .
ATTRIBUTED TO
RADIO FAILURE
Two Probes Under Way
In Pacific Tragedy

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. /
U.N.S).-Radio failure was ad--
vanced today as the cause Of the
tragedy in which q lost Seattle-to-
San Francisco air liner made q
forced landing at sea off Point
Reyes, 80 miles north of San Fran
cisco, Tuesday with loss Of five

Declarations Of Pilot Charles
Stead that he was confused by

lions at once and thereby went
off his course, indicate strongly
the planes receiving set devel-
oped o mechanical failure, experts
asserted.
TWO PROBES LAUNCHED
Stead's expression that receiv.
ing conditions were too good"
was due to q Misrepresentation,
they declared. Atmospheric con-
ditions which would bring In sig.
nails Of several stations on single
wave length are impossible, it was
claimed.
What actually happened, &C
cording to the theory advanced, ).
was that the automatic volume
control on the skyliner's radio set
failed to function.
Meanwhile plans for two probes
into the tragedy, from which only
Stead and passenger, Isadore Edel-
stein, paroled convict, escaped,
went forward.

Weather conditions yesterday
prevented members Of q special

owners Of the wreck craft, SEIZED

Meanwhile, Edelstein, who a
few days ago was paroled from

life anew somewhere outside the

Guilty as the result of having been

In a San Francisco hospital
with a broken kneecap suffered in
the surf near Point Reyes, Edel-
stein was told that Paducah, KY,

cisco police that they wanted him
On an old assault charge
Protesting he was innocent Of
the Kentucky charges, Edelstein
said:
"That Paducah charge doesn't

where he planned to marry a girl
who had waited II years for him.

COUNSEL TOGETHER
In Lima we have q renewed

I assure you that we in the

but was In such hopeless disagree
ment that adjournment was

may be made.
The deadlock was not unex.
|pected after President Roosevelt's
bomhshell letter yesterday to the
chief conferees in which he in.
sisted on retention of New Deal
tax principles which had been
knocked out Of the bill by the
Senate.
REFUSE TO CHANGE
The New Deal principles center
on the profits and capital tax
idea.
The Senate conference com.
mittee, as indicated after receipt
of the Presidents letter, refused
to change its stand on outright
repeal Of the profits tax and
modification Of the capital gains
levy.
Members Of the conference held
out no hope for an early agree
ment. The deadlock, it appeared,
may result in . vote in the House

Sance and excise taxes II the Sen
ate tax plan is rejected.
The possibility Of q prolonged
battle between the Senate tax and
President Roosevelt over the issue
caused some members TO be peSsi-
mistic over chances OF early ad-
tournament Of Congress.
II would not go that far"
replied Senator Harrison CD
Of Mississippi, when asked If
the deadlock would not delay
adjournment.
FLAT TAX PLAN
Under the House bill, approved
on passage by an overwhelming
majority, the corporation income
tax on corporations earning over
$25, 600 q year is fixed ct 20 per
cent. This may be decreased to
l6 per cent by 100 per cent dis
tribution of earnings.
Thus, under this plan, the maxi
mum penalty for failure to dis
tribute profits is ( per cent under
the House bill against 2TK per
cent under present law. The Sen
ate bill imposes q fiat 10 per cent
tax rate.
While the House approved revi-
sion and reduction of capital gains
tax rates, 1t also refused to accept

Is was adopted in the Senate. The
Senate fixed Q fiat Fate Of Is per

There could be no more fit
ting occasion than the present
for me to greet my friends of
the 20 other American republics.
We have learned in this western
hemisphere what community Of
interest really means. We have
worked for it, created it, and
we now glory in it. Properly,
therefore, Pan-American day Is
set aside as an annual testimony
to the significance which the
American family Of nations has
for the world.
NEVER GREATER
Never was that significance
greater than today. The 81
American republics presen t
proudly to the rest Of the world
q demonstration that the rule
Of justice and law can be substi-
tuted for the rule Of force; that
resort to war as an instrument
Of policy is not necessary; that
international differences Of all
kinds can be solved through
peaceful negotiation: that the
Sanctity Of the pledged word
faithfully observed and gener-
ously interpreted offers q Sys-
tenn OF security with freedom.
The three hundred millions of
citizens in the American Repuh-
lies are not different from other
human beings. We have the
same problems, the same differ
enceS, even the same material
Tor controversy which exists
elsewhere.
HUMAN DIFFERENCES
Yet, we have undertaken con-
tractual obligations to solve
these normal human differ
ences by maintaining peace;
and that peace We are firmly
resolved to maintain. It shall
not be endangered by contro.
VERSES within our family; and
we will not permit 1t to be en-
dangered from aggression COM
ing from outside Of our hemi-
sphere.
This, a common objective Of
all of us, forms q lasting founda-
ton for the maintenance of an
international und Q rstanding
unique in the world.
The American peoples, who
today fortunately live as good
neighbors, not only enjoy Q
privilege, but undertake o heavy
responsibility. Fortunate in
being remote from the tumult Of
conflicting doctrines and from
the horrors Of armed conflict
from the tragedies whose
shadows lie heavy on the world,
the American republics, never
thelesS, face a grave test. #
our good fortune Is to continue,
our will must be strong.
AL Of US gained independence
because our fathers were willing
to sacrifice their lives and all
they possessed for q great ideal.
Some part Of that duty to Sacri.
flee rests also on Us. We have
progressed far along the path
that leads to government by
the people In the interest Of all
the people.
Our democratic system has
conferred on all Of us an in.
estimable gift Of individual lib.
erty within the law. We are
vitality concerned with preserv-
ing the hight standards Of in
ternational restraint and moral.
ity, which the lesson Of cen
turtles has taught is the first
requirement Of peaceful rela-
tionships between nations.
CONFIDENCE IN PURPOSE
Now, more than ever before,
we Of this American hemisphere
must make plain that these prin.
ciples, upon which % great O
civilization Is founded. are VI
brant, productive and dynamic,
National and international law
and morality are not the re-
StraintS Of weaklings; they are
SIGNS Of serene Strength-con.
