Atlanta Crash Brings
New McCarran Attack
On Air Board Setup
Nevudon Tells Senate
leeoIized Murder
Should Stop

The airlner crash near Atlanta
this morning brought new demands
from Senator McCarran, Democrat,
OF Nevada for reopening of the
administrations reorganization plan,
which placed control of civil aero
nautlcS in the Commerce Depart
ment less than a year ago.
Citing today's tragedy as the fifth
since the abolition of the separate
Civil Aeronautics Authority, Senator
McCarran shouted:
This legalized murder should
stop"
Senator McCarran declared that
for II months before the President's
reorganization plan went through
there had not been a life lost or
serious property damage in COM
merclal aviation. Since that time,
he said, there have been five crashes
at Lovettesville, Va; near Salt
Lake City, at Chicago, at st. Louis
and today near Atlanta.
Law Called "Hamstring."
Senator McCarran found no fault
with the men in charge of Govern
ment control, but asserted they "are
hamstrung by a law that was con-
Summated in the Budget Bureau by
men who knew nothing about the
subject, and sent to Congress for
approval"
80 long as civil aeronauticS is in
confusion and chaos in a depart
ment where it has no business. these
disasters will continue to pile up he
predicted.
when we lost the Civil Aero
nautics Authority and the Air Safety
Board, we lost safety" he continued.
He asked members of the Senate
to study the subject, so further air
control legislation may be consid-
cred when the British aid bill Is
disposed Of.
Barkley Makes Reply.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
replied that when the Presidents
reorganization plan was being con-
sidered every one realized it would
be impossible to expect there would
never be any accidents.
He said the personnel of the board
was not changed substantially by
the reorganization, "and we cannot |
assume these men are less efficient |
now than they were as members of |
the Civil Aeronautics Authority"
The law was not changed as to in
spection and supervision, he said.

stretcher-bearers started carrying
him down a ravine, the stretcher
started to buckle and he said:
Easy boys, don't dump me
doesn't any one know how to work
this thing?"
While the injured were placed on
stretchers for the laborious trek to
the waiting ambulance, the dead
were laid in a row beside the torn
remains of the $4,000 Douglas BIZ
motor monoplane.
The ambulances bearing the
wounded sped through early morn
ing mists to Atlanta hospitals, their
pace increased by police cars that
served as escorts and blocked side
roads along the winding Jonesboro-
Atlanta highway.
Reluctant to Discuss Theories.
Airline officials were reluctant to
discuss any theories on the accident
pending fuller inquiry. The re-
tractable landing gear stood away
from the fuselage, but it could not
be told whether this had been low
cred for a forced landing or whether
it was torn loose by the impact.
Mrs. Littledale was trapped in the
wreckage, pined down by fallen
tree, but when rescuers approached
she told them:
I'm all right; see what you can
do to help the others
The body of Representative Byron
was identified by a friend, L. C.
Mabley of Birmingham, Ala, who
viewed the pajama-clad body at a
morticianS. He said he had known
Mr.. Byron in Maryland and there
was no doubt of the identification.
Mr.. Mabley telephoned the Rep
resentative's secretary and his
mother-in-laW news of the death
shortly before noon.
First Elected in 1888.
Mr.. Byron was elected 20 the
House in 1888 and reelected last
fall ever Republican Walter john
son, he forme. Washington pitcher.
He had been lr public life since
1926, starting a., Mayor of Williams
port. He was the father ~ five
boys, the Oldest four of whom played
with him in a family hillbilly
band"
Capt. Rickenbacker was en- route
to Birmingham, Ala, where he was
to have addressed a luncheon of
the Aero Club today in preliminary
celebration of an extension of East
ern Air Line service to the Alabama
city.
The terrain in which the plane
fell in the first major transport
tragedy to mar Eastern Airs rec
ord is rough, although not noun
famous, and near where the Sleep
er was wrecked is large, fairly
broad and level field, leading to
theory that sudden mechanical
difficulty might have overtaken the
plane and a forced landing was
being attempted.
Despite the early hour and the
thinnesS of population in the area
cred shortly after the wreckage
was located.
The position of the wreck and
the crumpling of windows and
doors made it difficult for men
working in mud and a light rain
to get into the cabin. Automobile
Jacks were used to lift some of the
debris from the injured and a truck
finally was used to pull the hull
around so it could be entered.
Mr.. Littledale and his wife, who
is editor of Parents Magazine, were
en- route to Mexico on a vaca-
ton trip.
MIR. Rosenfeld was thrown clear of
the plane and made his way about
20 yards in the darkness, where he
fell into a ditch. Injured and
shocked, he lay there until dawn,
when he made his way to the farm
home of c. G. Sherman, near Nor

CHAPTER XXXVI

The raiders under Ellison reached
Packers Fork safely and found the
wagons waiting for them. After
hot meal they bedded down for the
night. Guards were set round the
encampment, to be relieved every
few hours. Morning found them
unnolested.
A No, BY Joe rider came across
the hills with the news that a large
body of men was following them
about three miles in the rear.
A few minutes later one of Sunday
Browns men who had been scout
ing in advance of the others came
back at a gallop to report that he
had been fired on by men hiding
behind large piles of baled hay on a
hilltop which commanded the road.
After short consultation McFaddin
took a dozen men with him to feel
out the strength of the party.
They exchanged shots for few
minutes without damage to either
party, after which McFaddin
brought his men back to the main
army. There were, he guessed, for
ty or fifty men behind the rampant
of bales. The leaders quickly decid-
ed to leave the road and took to the
foothills in a detour to ranch
known as the Wagonwheel Gap.

Bluffton Land Ideal For Sugar Beet
Production. Editor Tells Lions Club
PAGE SEVEN

Despite numerous prejudices on
the part of housewives, scientific re-
search shows that there is no differ
ence between beet sugar and cane
sugar. Sugar is sugar regardless of
the source.
Beet sugar is playing an import
ant role in national defense because
it releases cargo ships which would
be bringing cane sugar into the
country for other duties. 1t also re-
lieves the load of the railroads for
transportation Of defense materials.
In addition chemists have developed
methods of making explosives from
sugar for use in actual combat.
The restriction on the raising of
sugar heets under the regulations
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act
will be lifted next year, the speak
er stated. Farmers will be permitted
to plant as much sugar beet acre
age as they care to-

ing at Round Top and everybody in
the county knew the man.
"Just had word there's big bunch
of boys coming down from Larkspur
to join us" he said. His gaze rested
on the Texan. 1t was a moment be-
fore his memory placed the young
fellow. why, it's Hal Yanceyi
What you doing here? Thought you
went back to Texas"
81 did. Got into Larkspur only
three days ago. Pm on the bread
line. How's everything, Lee?"
Fine. We've got these sons-of-
guns where we want them at last"
Hart pulled his talk up abruptly. He
stared at Yancey blankly. A sud-
den suspicion had disturbed him.
"Say, we'n go talk with Bill Her.
riott. A lot of Texans have come
in mighty recently. Maybe"
The barrel of Yancey's revolver
pointed at Hart. Lets not talk
with anyone, Lee. Let's all three
move deeper into the brush. I'm on
an errand, and I don't want to talk
with Bill. Drift along to the right,
boys. I'm not allowing to harm Ell
ther of you if you behave"
They drifted, but unfortunately di-
rectly toward another group of three
or four men. Yancey bolted into the
brush as Hart yelled out a warning.
Bullets whistled in the darkness.
The Texan knew he had been hit,
but kept going. He lodged into a
draw and ran limping down it. When
he reached a clump of aspens he
buried himself in them and sank to
the ground. He believed he had
evaded the pursuit.
A low voice, not six feet from
him, asked, "What seems to be the
trouble?"
