Airline Dispatcher
Tells Of Anxiety Felt
For Missing Plane
'RumbIing Sound Heard
Before Croft Crashed,
c. A. B. Hearing Told
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, March IA flight
dispatcher's report yesterday out
lined for the Civil Aeronautics
Board the anxiety with which East
ern Air Line employees awaited word
of a missing sleeper plane whose
crash near the Atlanta Airport last
Thursday killed eight persons and
injured eight.
Dempsey Brown, E. A. L. dis
patcher at Gambler Field, read the
report into records of a public hear
ing started today by the C. A. B.
He told of how the big plane left
Washington for Atlanta with load
of $50 gallons of gasoline, enough
to reach Atlanta and fly back to
Charlotte or farther if necessary.
All went well until after the plane
checked over the Stone Mountain
marker on the outskirts of Atlanta,
Mr.. Brown said. This was at II :38
pm. of last Wednesday night, Feb
ruary IS.
Rumbling Sound Reported.
Given latest altimeter and field
instrument readings, the sleeper
plane was not heard from again
until it reached the range point,
about 90 miles southeast of the
landing field.
At 11:55, said Mr.. Brown, he could
not hear the big motors and became
worried. About midnight there
came a call from tourist camp on
the Jonesboro road, about Is miles
away, saying that plane had been
heard flying southwest and flying
low. Later, said the unnamed tele-
phone informant, there was "a
rumbling sound" and nothing more.
The plane was found early Thurs
day in a pine thicket about 5 miles
from the airport, torn to bits, three
crew members and four passengers
dead and nine passengers, one of
them Eddie Rickenbacker, president
of E. A. L., injured. Later another
passenger died.
Fifteen witnesses appeared before
the C. A. B. officials today. They
testified regarding weather condi-
tions on the night of the crash and
the direction of the plane when its
motors we're last heard. United
States Weather Bureau forecasters
and E. A. L. meteorologists agreed
that, although the ceiling was from
200 to 500 feet and that it was
misty, there was no reason why the
sleeper should not have been able to
land safely.
Forecasts Were Accurate.
One Witness-Paul Gareau, special
meteorologist of the Safety Bureau of
the c, A. B.-said conditions on the
night of the accident were very
ordinary for this part of the country
at this time of year." He also said
that E. A. L. weather forecasts had
been found to be remarkably ac-
curate"
Grant Mason of washington, a
member of the C. A. B., said at the
start of the hearing that it was
purely administrative and not a ju-
dicial procedure.
Robert w. Chrisp, acting head OF
the legal department of G. A. B.,
conducted the hearing, with other
officials asking some of the ques-
tions. Tomorrow E. A. L. radio op-
orators are to be examined. The in
vestigators said they expected the
radio flight logs to supply important
information.

FLORIDA BOOMING

Banner Tourist Season, De-

Crops Reported

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 20
R-under the triple impetus OF a
banner tourist season, huge defense
snending and a bumper citrus crop,
Florida is heading into the peak ol
q period many observers say VIII
he the most prosperous in its long
history-not excluding the fabulous
land boom of the middle TWent1es.
Long lines of tourist-laden auto
mobiles, buses and trailers are NOV
ing almost continuously through this
and other gateway points and fan
ming out to the south, the heaviest
movement being to the "Gold Coast"
area from Palm Beach to Miami.
Railroads and air lines are run
ming extra sections to accommodate
the influx.
Tourist registrations are generally
well ahead of last season, the big
gest on record, except at st. Peters
burg, popular tourist resort on the
lower west coast, which formerly
drew heavily from Canada. Even
there, most officials and resort op-
orators say the season will be ahead
of last year before it's over.

ROLAND STRESSES
VALUE OF R.0.T.C.
School Superintendent Finds
II Fits Boys for Peace
And War

THE establishment Of the ROTC
here opened up our eyes to many
defects in a peace time world"
said H. n. Roland. superintendent
of schools, today. 1--WE realize it is
a great agent in New Hanover
county in developing higher type
of boy from the standpoint of
scholarship, habits, personality,
initiative, health and general con-
duct"
A survey directed by DR.. scates
of Duke university states, said
Roland, that ROTC for two years
tends to broaden the experience
and increase the quality of work
done in high school. Contrary to
the general belief of many people,
ROTC did not increase, but rather
tended to decrease, the military
tendencies in the boys.
The ROTC boys come to better
understanding of the real situation
and are able to come to more in
telligent decisions, said Roland.
I'VE can point with pride to the
accomplishments of the ROTC
from the standpoint Of training for
peace time citizens. If it comes to
war, we know that those who had
this training in our high schools
not only have a greater chance
of rapid promotion, but in case
of conflict, the chances Of taking
care of themselves, alive and un-
wounded, are multiplied several
times"
Roland quoted the concluding
paragraph Of the survey conduct
ed by DR.. Scales and Dale Spencer
cf the New Hanover High school:
"All of the data indicates that la
tent qualities of leadership in
many fields of activity are de-
veloped in military training. The
ROTC seems to be the thing that
military men have always claim
ed it would. Military leaders have
asserted that certain amount of
discipline was good for youth.
Many non-military people have de-
plored strict discipline, arguing
that it cramps initiative and hind
ers the development of personality.
The data shows that the results
are on the whole directly opposite
to such fears"
