Shaw 90
 tomorrow

London, July 25-(UP)-Georg Bernard Shaw celebrates his 90th birthday tomorrow and he will also celebrate victory in his latest crusade on behalf, of all things, the ophicleide.
 That's right, ophicleide.
 For the benefit of the uninitiated the ophicleide is a musical instru- ment-a powerfully toned wind in- strument which was developed from the serpent, another obsolete in strument.
 Shaw'S campaign in behalf of the ophicleide won it recognition and inclusion in the national brass band contest.
 Why not revive the ophicleide. " Show wrote the contest officials. He said it was superior to the euphon- ium and had peculiar tone that distinguishes it completely from tu- bas and helicons. He added that "semiquavers are childs play to it. ;
 After Shaw's intercession the council agreed to allow the ophi- cleide in the contest, grouping it with it's relatives the keyed bugle the slide trumpet and clavicor

Coroner Blames Pilot for Crash At Mount Tobe Which Killed Two

23, l946, and was in good mechan- ical condition at that time.
 Control cables were intact andsin place after the accident. The ma neuvers performed by Haynes at an altitude of three or four hundred feet are not such as ordinarily should be done at that altitude. The plane could have pulled out of the spin had it begun at substantially higher altitude. This accident is due entirely to pilot failure rather than mechanical failure although there is some evidence ut momentary mo- tor failure which may have contrib uted to the accident. The actions of Haynes in piloting the plane in my opinion constituted careless flying, although perhaps not reckless.
 'From inquiry, Investigation and inquest, I therefore find that the deaths of Robert w. Haynes and Raymond M. EmmonS were due to the act, omission CT carelessness of said Robert w. Haynes"

In finding last night by Litch- field County Coroner Jonathan F. Els, Robert w. Haynes, Is. pilot of a plane which crashed at Mount Tobe, Airport June IS, was held re- sponsible for the death of himself and flying companion, Raymond M. Emmons, IT. Both youths were from Terryville.
 The Coroner's finding stated that the plane, owned by Harriet deFor- est Allaben, co-manager of the air. port, was put through series of mild stunts called wing overs" :" The altitude was approximately three to four-hundred feet, the finding pointed out, and at this height it was difficult for the pilot to pull out of stall. "'The plane could have pulled out of the spin, said the Coroner's report" had it begun at substantially higher al- -titude."
 According to the report. the mo- tor cut off during the initial stunt

GrondJury Calls Tuohy

Chicago, July 25 - (UP)-State's Attorney William J. Tuohy was scheduled to appear before the grand jury today to seek murder indictments against William Hei- rens, IT, maladjusted college stu dent who .has admitted the kidnap- staying of Suzanne Degnan and two other killings
 Tuohy, supported by mass of fingerprint, handwriting and other circumstantial evidence, was ex- pected to ask indictments in the Degnan case and the "lipstick staying" of Frances Brown.
 Under grand jury procedure, true bills accusing the youth probably will be voted by nightfall and the indictments returned in criminal court tomorrow
 The formal charges will set the stage for Heirens' written confess sion, which reportedly has been offered in exchange for state recommendation of life imprison- ment, rather than the electric chair.

ing, but returned to life almost im- mediately, whereupon Haynes con- tinued the stunting.
 The pilot then did one or more similar maneuverS, the finding states, and it continues:
 "As he reached the extreme north easterly corner of the field at an altitude of about two hundred fifty feet, he put the plane into a steep bank to the left as though to come around and land in a southWeSterly direction. The plane banked part way around, the nose went up into a stall, and the plane fell off on the left wing into spin. After two complete revolutions, in the spin, he crashed at the northeasterly corner of the field, killing both occupants outright.
 '"T'he weather was clear with only light wind blowing. There was still ample daylight. The plane had had it's periodic inspection on April

John Morny and Gloria Willis succeeded in getting satisfying number of laughs out of. Goodbye Again" the aging play by Allan Scott and George Haight, last night at Theater-in- -the-Dale, New Mill ford.
 Though it must be admitted Louis Townsend was faced with a difficult task when attempting to find an entertaining vehicle to follow the colorful and brilliant "Salome," yet it is felt he could have found more suitable play.
 Vertically, Goodbye Again" is still chock full of laughs, brilliant wisecracks, and intriguing situa- tions, but one is constantly re- minded of it's moth-eaten vintage. The re-Rooseveltian era of prohi- bition, depression, and Dreisler, is not of great interest. The happy outcome of the play hinges at one part, for instance, upon the success ful execution of a plot by MT. Clay ton, a recruit from the Give a Job Unemployment Agency"
 Success in 3O's
 One of the brightest and most successful comedies, of the early '3Os, the play evolves around a pop ular author bent on a Midwestern tour, who becomes involved with his former college love. The Cleve- land matron, believing for six long years of her married life that she has inspired the writer's brilliant novels, suddenly decides to seek divorce from her unimaginative, Babbitt-like spouse, thereby cati- putting the freedom-loving bachelor into situation from which he has difficulty in extricating himself.
 John Morny did most satisfying portrayal of the literary light. He IS natural comedian, who can provoke a laugh merely by appear- ing on stage. But Morny, gaunt and gangling of figure, cavorting throughout an entire scene in an ill., fitting pair of pajamas, is a sure fire laugh provoker.
 Gloria Willis was never lovelier than she was last night. Her able handling of the role of the authors practlcalu and loyal secretary pre- saged once again that here was name to watch on Broadway.

At time when many white
women are holding state and
Congressional offices among
other high positions here and
abroad it seems fitting for color
ed women of the nation to join
in furthering their own progress
as well as that of their people
and the world. In these endeav-
ors they should be encouraged
and not restricted by narrow
outlooks on life. The problems
facing the colored people are
serious problems to be dealt with
by serious study and considera-
ton. These can best be solved
in progressive clubs and coun-
ellis rather than in night clubs
over cocktail bars or at gambl-
ing windows at race tracks.
Colored women of the past suf-
fered and worked hard for the
and it would seem to be a duty
benefits many of US enjoy today
to carry on the torch of freedom
which has been carried so
bravely amid so much suffering,
sacrifice and tears. May the
ladies of Massachusetts, lend
strength to the Council.
