Victim
Better Today

Only semi-conscious, although
resting more comfortably, Charles
Pomn,tz, 26.year old Wayne Coun-
ty pilot who was critically injured
when his plane crashed here Tue
day, remained at Boyer Memorial
Hospital today. His wife, who
rushed to the hospital late Tuesday
afternoon, remains at his bedside.
The wrecked plane was ordered
removed by Thomas S. Murphy,
Civil Aeronautics Authority investi.
gator, who is continuing his probe
of the accident today. One eX-
planat,on for the failing motor OF
Pomnitz plane, which was noticed
by nearby workmen, may have
been a pocket of al caused by ris-
ing heat waves from the local Ford
factory furnaces meeting the chi.
air over Ford Dam pond. Pomnitz
was flying low over factory and
pond, Witnesses said.
Call for aid when the plane crash
ed, about 2:30 p. m, came from
the nearby sewage disposal plant.
Officer Arthur Kramer received the
call at the police station on n.
Huron st. and quickly dispatched
ambulance and fire apparatus. State
police were also notified, and 10
turn got in touch with the state
aeronautics board, as is required
by law in such accidents. Both city
and state police threw a Gordon
around the wrecked pane to keep
crowds away until Investigation
could be made by Mr.. Murphy and
Z. N. Townsend OF the Wayne
County AIT Safety Bureau.

Lansing, Jan. cup The

$1,000. 900 deficiency appropriation

The request was placed before
the committee by Wayne County

at Eloise Hospital in Wayne County
The si,0O0.000. petition radically
upset the committees plans. which

John Cowan, chairman OF the
Wayne County board Of auditors
and the delegations spokesman, re-
minded the committee OF a 1887
statute which specified that the
states contribution to Elolse funds
should not be more than 20 per cent
above the rate fixed by the Michi-
gan Hospital Commission for Ypsi-
lant State Hospital.
Cowan said the rate for Ypsilanti
had been IS cents per day for each
patient for a number OF years and
that the 20 per cent addition would
bring the states contribution for
Eloise patients TO sl.02 per day
The state. however, never paid
this rate. Cowan said. and pro
duced figures TO show the hospital
had received only 80 cents per day
for each patient for the fiscal year
