War Department Says
Accident Rate Has Fallen

The War Department last night
pointed out that although the
number of Army plane crashes
had increased over a number of
years, because of greatly increased
volume of training, the rate had
lowered due to the higher physical
and mental standards of pilot ma
terial"
The War Department declined to
reveal accident rate Or number of
miles flown per accident on the
ground that this is military infor-
nation. There also is a War De-
partment ban against publication
OF the causes of military airplane
accidents.
1t was explained informally. how
ever, that recent accidents in noun
famous areas in thick weather, were
not due to similar causes which
might serve to indicate any weak
ness in design or construction or
any deficiency in training of pilots
or crews.
That the Navy Department also
has anticipated an increase in acci-
dents as result of the expansion
program was indicated in the sus-
pension of annual awarding of the
Herbert Schiff Memorial Trophy for
safe flying. 1t was presented this
week by President Roosevelt to a
patrol squadron based in the Canal
Zone, but will not be- presented
again until after the emergency has
passed.

Lykins, Reno travelling man, dis
closed that if the plane had cleared

lent emergency landing field.
No Storm in Area.
Witnesses said there was no storm
in the area, though the sky was
overcast and there had been light
showers.
Parts of the plane were scattered
in all directions" said Mr.. Lykins.
"A piece of the radio transmitter
was lying near the road edge, easily

tors were about 35 or 40 feet from

seven days.
The factory, to cost 81 ,25O 900, will
be 600 by 400 feet in size and will
add four complete assembly lines
to the three now just going into
operation at the existing Bell plant
In Buffalo. Although not so large
when compared with some of the
Nations giant aircraft factories
now under construction, the new
Bell plant will be the first. or cer-
tainly one of the first two or three,
to be completed under the national
program of aircraft expansion
started last September.
Will Be Occupied April 1.
The new building is to be oc-
cupied by April l under a contract
calling for its completion in 100
working days. At the end of 46

"On Top" of Expansion.
Bell officials reported that they
now are ''on top" of their expansion

day is about 1900 men short of the
current quota.
The new factory has been care
fully planned with a view to ulti-

production lines.
The equipment is of the most
modern type. including automatic
rivet machines, which form rivets
from duralumin wire in six con-
secutive operations. the new type
of automatic wing-spar milling

old factory to revolutionize this
