Frederick M. Glass, attorney in the
accident legal section. c. A. B.
The affldavits were from Guy Mil
Ter, a commercial flyer, and C. Earl
Steele.
Three Federal weather observers,
stationed at Front Royal, Va; Fred
erick, Md, and Hagerstown, Md,
however, submitted observation
sheets for the period from II noon
to 4 pm. the day of the crash, which
showed thunderstorms of only mild
intensities.
Ben o. Howard, famous racing
pilot, airplane designer and builder
and test pilot on the type of plane
which figured in the crash. closed
the testimony yesterday with a
statement which virtually ellni-
mated the lightning theory but left
open possible theory that damage
to the planes elevator system re-
sulting from a hign-speed dive
might have been responsible.
Mr.. Howard said that if the air
plane had attained a speed of 300
miles per hour in its fatal dive, as
had been suggested, displacement
and jamming of the elevator might
be expected y This would account
for failure to pull out of the dive.
Mr.. Howard pointed out, however.
that airplanes of this type have
flown total of 6OO.OOO,OO0 miles in
all parts of the world with no known
structural failure of this type.
Testifies on Effect Of Rain.
Turning to testimony of lay wit
nesses indicating torrential rain was
falling at the time of the crash,
Mr.. Howard said that Army studies
have indicated the heaviest known
rainfall does not exceed so inches
per hour and that rainfall at this
rate would build up $50 pounds of
extra weight on an airplane of the
DC-3 type and would result in an
increased drag" or air resistance
of 1000 pounds due 20 the film of
water.
He said that air transport planes
are struck by lightning on an aver
age of 200 times a year and that in
one out of four of these cases mate
rial damage results in the form of
burned radio antenna or mast, or
TO exterior fittings or fabric. No
case is known, he said, of a pilot
ever having been injured or even
feeling any physical effects from
such lightning strikes"
He said that had Capt. Scrog-
gins and First Officer j. Paul
Moore of the crashed plane been
stunned by lightning and slumped
forward on the controls, it is not
likely they would have put the plane
in such dive as was described.
He said that to put an airplane of
that type into so steep a dive would
have required pressure of so
pounds on the control column and
that as the speed increased. the
pressure would have to be increased
to overcome the natural tendency
of the airplane to return to level
fight.

described the amount of damage
done to food supplies during the
week end German raids on London
as annoying but entirely unimpor-
tant," either in regard to Britain's
or London's food supplies.
A British communique said today
the raiders showered the bombs at
random without any distinction of
objectives' and abandoning "all pre-
tense" of confining the attacks to
military targets.
The Bank Of London, London
Bridge, the big law courts and the
financial district all are within a
few blocks in the midcity area
shaken by the thunderous explo-
SionS.
Firemen Work 8 Hours.
Bombs which fell in the neighbor-
hood of st. Paul's struck warehouses,
setting them aflame. Large forces
of firemen worked feverishly to pre-
vent the blaze from spreading. They
were aided by the auxiliary fire
service and fought the fires with the
aid of water towers. Hundreds of
firemen were engaged.
They ignored the falling bombs
and crashing debris as they battled
for eight hours without a break to
check the flames.
Incendiary bombs, some believed
to be of the crude oil type, started
fires in several localities around big
domed, 250-year-old st. Paul's. An
other famous church. st. Mary-Le
Bow-behind st. Paul's--was said to
be out of danger, after long hours of
anxiety.
Toll Is 592 Dead.
Outlying sections and densely pop
ulated residential districts also were
bombed heavily. The communique
said no count of the dead and in
jured in the long night attack was
possible Immediately, but that 286
were killed and 1,400 injured seri-
ously in the Sunday night attack.
That brought the bombing toll to

followed. their racks loaded with
powerful explosives, guided through
the darkness and smoke to their
targets by the glare Of the fires.
There was no great mass attack;
instead, they came in relays, some
times singly, diving at the Thames
side targets through the center of
London and circling over the outly-
ing sections.
Wharves and warehouses along
: the Thames again were bombed
heavily. Damage to docks there
already has disrupted the bringing
of food direct to London by ships
and diverted the supply ships to
other ports.
Fathers More Anxious.
Thirty mothers and 20 babies had
a narrow escape when bombs fell
around the maternity hospital. All
the patients were moved from the
building within Is minutes after a
call for help vas sounded.
Fathers, who later came to the
hospital as quickly as they could on
receiving the news, were, in fact,
far more upset than the women
said a rescue worker
Nurses and porters formed a
bucket brigade at the Children S
Hospital.
Everybody was magnificent" a
staff physician asserted.
A. r. P. squads dug frantically
into the ruins of house hit by high
explosive in the Southeast London
district after a number of persons
were reported trapped.
Several persons were feared killed
in northeast district when high
explosive reduced six or seven houses
to debris.
A bomb tore through three floors
to the terrace of building in Gen.
tral London. At another point a
bomb hit the roadway, killing a man
and woman.
Subway service was maintained on
all lines except in a few sections.
Bus, tram and trolley bus services
were operating with few curtail-
ments and some diversions of routes.
Transportation delays caused light
attendance at the Stock Exchange,
with scarcely any business trans
acted, but war loans remained
steady at overnight closing levels.
One business building collapsed
like cardboard under a direct hit by
a huge bomb. Only the iron scroll
gateway remained standing, sway
ing grotesquely as firemen poured
water onto the burning wreckage.
A bomb falling 80 yards from one
of London's biggest hotels broke the
windows in the restaurant, but did
not damage the building itself.

the vibration of the explosion.
This may have been the Savoy
Hotel. An Associated Press staff
writer told of dining there in an un-
derground restaurant and of hear
ing bombs while the raid was 60
ing on.
The bodies of three women and
two men, trapped in a cellar of a
building in Southwest London which
received a direct hit, were taken
from the debris at noon.
A rescue squad worked frantically
to get TO five members of another
family trapped in the ruins Of a
four-story building in Southeast
London.
Two women were killed and sew
eral persons injured when a lone
raider dropped salvo of bombs on
a residential area of a southeast sea-
side town about noon.

London raids reported direct hits on
the East Indian and Royal Victoria
docks along the Thames. and said
they saw great tongues of flame
leaping up from the targets.
German military commentators
declared that the aerial assault upon
Britain has lust begun and as
serted that only a fraction of the
Reich's air power has been exerted
up to the present.

Voelkischer Beobachter, said it was
a mistake to call the present action
the battle of Great Britain
Germans modestly regard this
merely as the battle of London from
which develop the battle of Great
Britain" the paper declared.
Berlin morning newspapers de-
voted many columns of type to the
London raids. reiterating that they
were in retaliation for months of
reckless and planless night bombing
by British raiders over German
cities
The LokalanZeiger asserted that
78 German children had been killed
and 81 injured in these British raids.
The same paper said the German
attacks on London were causing "a
great hue and cry in English
churches, the radio and the press,
but it is not yet directed against
Prime Minister Churchill and his
accomplices"
No. it is still directed against us"

UNDER TWO FLAGS.

Earl .Browder, the head of the
Communist party IN this country,
has been convicted of travelling
abroad on passports secured through
fraud. That is technical crime
which need cause no great alarm,
but back of that incident is situa-
ton that threatens our Republic.
AT the trial it was claimed and not
denied that Browder used these
fraudulently secured passports sew
eral times to go to Russia for con-
sultation and the securing of funds.
He returned to the United States to
propaganda for the Hammer and
Sickle.
What makes the Browder crime
more serious is that he cannot claim
ignorance or hereditary influence as
an excuse. According to the press
he has education and several gen.
erations Of American ancestry. APP
parently we have no law that al
lows our government to proceed
against him for his real crime. In
fact, our Bill of Rights guarantees
his freedom of speech--a guarantee
he would not have in his or other
relationships. What is dangerous,
however, is when he fosters a form
of government dedicated to the
overthrow of the American system
of democracy
In the same way, Fritz Kuhn was
convicted of the crime of robbing
his own organization instead of the
far more serious crime of attempt
ing to change our form of govern
ment But If we had no better law
against burglary, we would be
obliged to convict the thief who
robbed our house of the crime Of
breaking window pane. The re-
suits can be as effective in destroy
ing the menace.
In the case of Browder, there is
every evidence that BroWder was
provided with money by Russia to

The Thin Man" Pair
Back in Another Picture

After lapse of three years, Will
liam Powell and Myrna 10y are
reunited in Another Thin Man,
third of that scintillating detective
series appearing at the kootenai
theatre Sunday and Monday.
Like its famous predecessors, The
Thin Man" and After the Thin
Mantle story of Another Thin
Man" combines puzzling and IN
triguing murder mystery with the
happy, CAV and sometimes hectic
married life of Nick and Nora
Charles, the detective pair whom
Powell and Miss 10y created SO
delightfully."- in the first picture OF
the series.
The picture takes Nick and Nora
to New York for a holiday trip and
with them comes Asia, the waggish
wire-haired terrier, who eontribu-
ted so much mirth to the first two
pictures. Also with them is Thin
Man, Jr.. the new and very small
son of the Thin Man" pair, played
by the baby screen find of the year,
eight-month-o William Anthony
Poulsen.
Once in New York their holiday
plans are blasted when Col Burr
MacFay, financial adviser to Nora,
is mysteriously slain on his Long
Island estate. Nick takes hand in
the investigation of the case and
even Nora's curiosity gets the bet
ter of her. Between exchanging
characteristic Thin Man" banter
with Nora. rescuing her from New
York night-spot dives and over
seeing a hilarious baby party given
in honor of Nickie, Jr, by his un-
derworld friends, Nick deduces his
way to the killer and traps the Grim
inal in typical Nick Charles fashion.
