lost, she made preparation to leave
for her home, although she had not
heard Of her fathers death. She
left this city Monday noon to be
with her mother during the trying
period. She learned of the death
Of her father after she arrived at
home.
When the radio beam, which
guides the pilots Of airliners was
lost, the plane could not be guided
to the airport in the binding
storm. Although the plane had cir
cled about the port, 1t finally crash
ed into the side Of a mountain, and
all passengers, the pilot and assist
ants, ten in number, were killed.
Mr.. Dybdal, an inspector for the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission, made the trip to Pitts.

sons, one of them, Victor .Dybdal,
an ensign in the United States
Navy, attached to the U. s. s. Helm

sons in the West, there is a daugh-
ter, Miss Eleanor, who is a nurse
in General Hospital, Minneapolis,
and a son, Don Dybdal, also Of Min
neapolis. Mr.. Dybdal made the trip
west mainly to see his san, Victor,
