NavyProbes Air Crash
Near Norbeck Fatal
To Il. ). A. Johnson
So Little Left of Plane
Couse of Wreck Will Be
Difficult to Determine

The crash of one of the Nays
newest fighting planes-said to be
faster than warplanes now in use in
Europe-was under investigation to-
day by a special Board of Inquiry
named by the Navy
The new-type fighter crashed
near Norbeck, Md, yesterday, carry
ing to death 1t. Seymour Anderson
johnson, test pilot.
Specifications of the plane, said
to be capable of Administrations
speed and to be particularly effective
at high attitudes, are closely
guarded.
Still in the performance test
stage, the manufactured
plane has been delivered to the
Navy in small numbers. One of
these was sent to the Naval Air Sta
ton here, and it was this ship which
plunged to earth and exploded in
the bed of stagnant creek near
Norbeck
Little Left Of Craft.
The board of inquiry was appoint
ed today. There was so little left
of the plane, officers had no hope
of being able to determine whether
structural failure was to blame.
Witnesses of the crash may be
able to shed some light on the
cause, officers believed.
The board was headed by 1t.
Comdr. William v. Saunders. Other
members are 1t. Charles v. Griffin,
recorder, and Lit. William r. Counts,
medical officer. The group is ex-
pected to complete the inquiry by
the end of this week.
1t. johnson, who was 81 years old
and lived at IT'S Army and Navy
drive. Arlington, Va, was one Of
two survivors of a Navy seaplane
crash in the Potomac near the
Highway Bridge last July 20.
Oxygen Failure Possibility.
Offlcials said the airplane was be-
ing put through altitude and dive
tests yesterday. 1t was thought pos
sible 1t. johnson might have lost
consciousness due to some failure of
his oxygen supply at high altitude.
Witnesses who saw the plane
slightly before the crash included
Latane Smith of Glenmont, Md;
Richard Mott, attendant at a Nor
beck filling station: James Nelson,
employe of the Manor Club, and
DR.. r. L. Paxson, manager of a
Silver Spring drug store.
1t. Johnson. native of Colds
boro, N. c., graduated in 1927 from
the Naval Academy. He has been
on duty at AnacoStia since June Of
1888 He attended the University
of North Carolina for three years
before entering the academy.
At the time of his death 1t. john
son. a veteran test pilot, was on the
list of lieutenants selected for pro-
motion to lieutenant commander.
1t. johnson is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Alice Kelley johnson,
whom he married in Cristobal. C. T.,
in 1929, and by 9-year-old daugh-
ter, Suzanne.

Mrs. James J. Walkers S
Divorce Suit Dismissed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KEY WEST, Fla, March 6.-Mrs.
James j. Walker. who wanted to
avoid the activities attending the
public life of her husband, the for
mer Mayor of New York, has failed
in an attempt to obtain a Florida
divorce.
Circuit Judge Arthur Gomez dis
missed late yesterday the action
brought by the former Betty Comp
ton. He said her testimony at a
hearing last Saturday supported at
best a case of incompatability," not
a ground for divorce in this State.
Mr.. Walker did not contest the
suit. The couple had agreed on the
custody of their two small adopted
children and arranged a financial
settlement.

its national defense expansion from
current revenues, which at best are
none too great for normal times. In
my opinion the Congress must, by
adoption of S. GIT or some other
means, provide additional revenues
to the District of Columbia imme-
diately.
For years this question of Fed
eral participation in District costs
has been discussed in terms of Fed
eral contribution or Federal pay
ment, implying that the Federal
Government is making some sort
of a donation to the people Of the
District. 1t has been discussed IN
terms of relative tax loads here and
elsewhere. 1t has been discussed in
terms of real estate tax rates here
and elsewhere and from many other
viewpoints. Data on these and other
matters can be secured from impair
tial sources such as the Census Bu-
reau and from the so-called Pond
report prepared by impartial ex-
perts selected by the Congress and
from other sources.
Other Cities Setups Differ.
However, it seems to me thai
the only question to be solved is
what is an equitable division of the
actual cost? Congress holds and
exercises exclusive jurisdiction over
the District. 1t prescribes improve
ments befitting the Nations Capital
and for the District services pre-
scribes the same standards of pay
leave and other conditions of labor
as prevail in the Federal service
Under these circumstances, and even
If it were possible by efficient ad-
ministration to reduce the costs be-
low those prevailing elsewhere, there
would be no equity in fixing the to-
tai tax revenues or the several rates
on a parity with other cities, merely
to relieve the Federal Government
from paying its just and equitable
portion of the cost.
The Overton plan provides for
the division of costs between the
District and Federal Government
on the basis of land actually util-
lied by each, subject to a special
provision with respect to park lands
because of special circumstances
The area of any city, particularly
when developed, determines to q
large extent the cost of operation
and maintenance. The area avail
able for taxation influences directly
the revenues available from taxation
on land and improvements, ano
indirectly the revenues available
from other sources. Therefore, il
is believed that the proposed formula
is the most logical and equitable
solution to this vexatious problem
that has been advanced. 1t provides
for an equitable distribution of the
costs at the present time. If the
cost of developing and operating
the city is reduced or increased
for any reason it automatically ano
equitably allocates the resultant
costs to each party. If the Fedora
holdings are increased or decreased
1t likewise equitably and automati.
cally reallocates the costs.
Solution Of Problem Seen.
"Since values of lands or improve.

1t does not imply a tax by loca
authorities on Federal holdings, bu

House Group 10 Quiz
Army Leaders at
Secret Meeting
Confidential Report
Sought by Committee
On Defense Progress
ny the Associated Press.


Members of the House Military
Affairs Committee sought a first
hand and highly confidential
progress report on the defense pro-
gram today from Secretary of War
Stimson and Gen. George c. Mar
shall, Army Chief of Staff.
The committee voted Tuesday to
summon the officials after Gen. Mar
shall had declined a request for a
written statement on the status Of
the rearmament program, on the
ground that it would be incom-
patible with the public interest.
A tight-lipped silence about the
entire matter was imposed on the
legislators at a private session yes
terday and Chairman May told
newsmen the testimony would be
heard behind closed doors.
The committee. has been holding
public hearings for several weeks on
the War Departments handling of
negotiated fiXed-fee contracts on
construction of defense plants and
several members frequently have
protested about the difficulty of OBJ
tanning information from the de-
partment on such subjects.
Although some committee men,
bers asserted the Army's reticence
regarding defense topics had moth
ing to do with today's inquiry, others
were visibly irked about what they
called the tell 'em-nothing" policy
| being followed by the department.
Informed legislators said the group
was anxious to learn from Mr.. Stim-
son and Gen. Marshall just what
defense information those officials
thought Congress should have and
under what conditions, if any, it
should be made available.
At the same time, it was learned,
the defense chiefs would be quizzed
about the present and prospective
status of the aid-to-Britain pro-
