Brings 7 Proposals
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Civil Aeronautics Board
found today that the crash of a
United Air Lines plane at Chicago
December 4, in which three crew
members and seven passengers were
killed, was due to the failure of
Capt. Philip Scott, the pilot. to ex-
ercise the necessary caution and
skill"
The board made seven recon-
mendations as a result of its in
vestigation, principally concerning
the installation of facilities to warn
OF imminent stalls and to pro-
vide proper vision for pilots under
adverse weather conditions.
Capt. Scott, the board said, failed
to do what was needed to avert
a stall and made an error in judg-
ment in choosing the short north
west runway at the Municipal Air.
port for a landing.
The big ship fell at the edge of
the field as it was coming in for
a landing on the last leg of a flight
from New York.

Maryland Purchases
W.,B. "a. Roadbed
For Use as Highway
Eight Miles Reported
In Shape for TroveI
Almost immediately
BY BEN H. PEARSE,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 28-
Gov. O'Conor announced today that
the State Roads Commission had
bought the 26-mile right of way OF
the abandoned Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis railroad for
s45,0O0.
Approximately miles of the
right of way is In condition to be
used almost Immediately, according
to Commission Chairman Ezra B
Whitman. There are 7 miles be-
tween the Seat Pleasant and Ard
more areas and 1-mile stretch near
Fort Meade.
The announcement came as a
surprise to members of the Prince
Georges County delegation who had
not known that negotiations, bro
ken off more than two years ago.
mad been resumed. Purchase Of
the right of way of the railroad
which was abandoned in 1887 was
first undertaken during the admin
istratlon of the late Gov. Nice.
Delegation Pleased.
Objections were raised, however,
on the grounds that the railroad
company did not have a clear title,
that the right OF way was not suit
able for a wide, modern highway
and that the price asked, $4,000,
was too high.
Senator Charles c. Marbury of
Prince Georges County said he had
no knowledge of the negotiations.
but that he was pleased that the
right of way had been obtained.
Members of the county delegation
in the House also expressed salts
faction.
Chairman Whitman said the first
project would be construction of a
24-foot road from Seat Pleasant to
Lanham, costing approximately
S250,000 to give an alternate route
to Washington and relieve conges-
ton at the Peace Cross on Bladens-
burg road.
Alternate Entrance.
Another smaller project will be
constructor of a 4,500-foot stretch
near Inglehart on the Generals
highway between Annapolis and the
Grain highway which is not now
hard-surfaced
1t Is also planned to widen an
everpass where the right of way
crosses the Baltimore-Fort Meade
road near Linthicum. Mr.. Whit
man explained that the commission
has no immediate plans for using
any other portions of the right of
way, but may be able to fit certain
sections into the State roads pro-
gram later.
The 60-foot strip is not wide
enough for a dual highway, he said
but will be valuable in providing an
alternate entrance to Washington
and relieving congestion.

More than half of the raises,
ranging from 5 to Is cents an

The AFL men, he said, brought
