that American shippers have failed

Hearing of this today, a State

1. That American shippers are
cooperating to an amazing extent

2. That they are not obliged to

FOUR MEN KILLED
in PLANE CRASH
Continued from Page One)


Wilcox, Bennett, Iowa, and Private
Leonard E. Riley, Wichita Falls,
Tex.
The plane crashed two miles
northeast of Riverside on Box
Springs hill, only seven miles from
its army air base destination at
March Field.
D. M. Stephenson of Riverside,
only known witness to the crash,
said Carroll landed near him by
parachute and together they ran to
the wreckage. Carroll was bleed
ing from the nose and mouth but
appeared uninjured otherwise.
CAROLS account Of the accident,
as told by Stephenson:
1--WE were flying high-about g.
900 feet, I guess-when the motors
missed and the ship went into a
spin, and VIC were all ordered out
of the plane.
Something apparently was
wrong with the emergency door,
and only two Of us were able to
get out. The ship was spinning,
and there was nothing we could do
to stop it.
"I landed in Pigeon Pass, near
the wreckage. Purvis came down
on Blue mountain, some distance
away"
Stephenson said the plane nosed
into the earth but did not burn.
"a doctor came along and pro-
nounced the four men dead,
Stephenson related. "That wasn't
necessary though-they were all
badly smashed"
March Field authorities said the
huge metal ship was returning
from war game maneuvers at Mon
terey, via Sacramento. It was not
part of a mass flight of SO army
bombers from Hamilton Field, near
San Francisco, which set out early
today for March Field.
