at the Barajas airport in Madrid.
The plane had been out of radio
contact with both Lisbon and
Madrid for almost an hour before
the accident occurred.
In his last message to the
Madrid airport the pilot had asked
permission to fly at a lower alti-
tude-presumably because of ad-
verse weather conditions. He was
told that his altitude was not
controlled In Spain.
The plane crashed against a
rocky cliff known as the Priests
cliff.
Valero Bermejo said the plane
exploded and burned. The noise
was heard in mountain villages
the scene.
The little village Of Lanzaita sent
out the first news Of the accident.

the height of Florida's tourist sea-
son. All public and parochial
schools were closed for the day
IN Dade county. Southern Florida's
business houses, office buildings
and most apartments and smaller
hotel are without heating plants.
.Florida's weather moderated
considerably during the day, how
ever, and forecasters said no re.
currence of freezing weather was
in prospect.
An intensification of the cold was
forecast for the Midwest, with
temperatures dropping to 20 below
zero in Northern Minnesota to-
morrow morning. Chicago expect
ed a new season low of five to
eight below by Saturday morning.
Forecasters said the cold mass
would move swiftly eastward,
reaching the Middle and North At
lantic states probably by Sunday
morning. The new cold wave was
described as somewhat mora Sc
we're" than the one that began
moderating in the East today.
The unusual weather affected
the grain and livestock markets.
Dust storms in Kansas caused
heavy trading of that grain at the
Chicago Board of Trade and the
March contract advanced to the
highest level for any wheat de-
livery for the last q years. Live
hog prices at the Chicago Union
stockyards hit S25.75 a hundred
pounds-the second highest level
in history. Snow and cold continu-
ed to hold supplies behind demand.
The long range outlook of con-
tlnued severe cold was made in
Washington by DR.. Jerome Namias,
chief of the weather bureaus ex-
tended forecast section. He ex-
planned it to a reporter as fol-

Much bitter cold air that origi-
mated over Eastern Russia and
Siberia crossed into. Alaska and
Northwestern Canada earlier in
the winter. However, a strong
west to east flow of air from the
Eastern Pacific kept the cold from
entering the United States.

The people there said they heard
what sounded like two explosions,
the last one being far heavier than
the first.
A detachment of civil guards and
townspeople from the village OF
Pedro Bernardo started for the
scene Immediately and reached the
wreck four hours later. The res
cue party was delayed by a heavy
fog which enveloped the mountains.
Darkness and the fog prevented
examination of the w-eckage until

LEADERS MOURN
GARDNER DEATH
Continued From Page one)

Gardner, active in Democratic
politics in North Carolina and the
nation for 40 years, was hailed as
an ~'articulate and expert advocate
Of American democratic capital
ism" and a persuasive champion
Of business enterprise" at the
time Of his diplomatic appoint
ment.
His selection was viewed by
Washington observers as evidence
that the Truman administration
expected economic matters to
loom large in American-British
relations in the next few years.
Gardner repeatedly amassed a
fortune of more than a 81, 900, 900
in law practice, textile manufactur-
ing and farming.
Born March %, 1882, son Of a
country doctor and youngest of IL
children, Gardner had to make his
own way in the world. He entered
what is now North Carolina State
college in. 1900 on a competitive
scholarship and was graduated in
1908 as president of his class.
Four years later he received his
law degree from the University Of
North Carolina. He is the only man
who ever captained the football
teams as both schools.
Gardner entered politics in 1908
when Daniels appointed him state
organizer Of democratic clubs. He
later served in the State Senate
and as lieutenant governor and, in
1928, when North Carolina voted
for Herbert Hoover for president,
Gardner was elected governor by
u, 900 votes.
Serving during depression years,
his slogan as governor was ire
organization, .retrenchment and
consolidation"
When his term ended in 1888,
Gardner moved to, Washington and
set up a law firm with North Car
DINA associates. He represented
many textile firms.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
offered him several posts but the
only one he accepted was the un-
paid craftsmanship Of the advisory
board on war mobilization and re-
conversion.
President Truman persuaded him
last year to accept the under-sec-
retaryship in the treasury depart
ment. He resigned that position to
become ambassador after w. Ave-
rell Hartman had left the London
diplomatic post for his new job as
secretary Of commerce. Gardner's
selection was ratified unanimously
by the senate.
Mrs. Gardner, a tall, striking
former southern BELLE" was Fay
Lamar Webb before her marriage.
The Gardeners spent as much time
as possible at their great southern
colonial mansion, Webbley, at
Shelby.
Gardeners daughter, Mrs. N. C..
Burgess of Short Hills, N. j., was
on the way to his hotel when he
died. Another son, Oliver Maxwell
Gardner, Jr., arrived here from
Shelby this morning expecting to
see his parents and brother off on
the America.
Gardeners projected trip would
have been somewhat different from
his first visit to London back in
1905. That excursion was made
with other North Carolina football
players who worked their passage
on a cattle boat as "chambermaids
TO 1894 Montana steers"

Null, in euolgizing Gardner, said
that while Gardner was outstand-
ing in many fields" he served
North Carolina in more high
places and served it more than
anyone else during the last 40
years"
Rep. Reg l.. Harris Of Person,
who served in the legislature dur
ing Gardeners administration as
governor, said: 1.-THE English

Of North Carolina never had a

Sprinkle any bread slices that
float with little brown or maple
sugar and bake the pudding in a
slow oven for about an hour and a

added more water as needed, but
she never let the water boil. She
claimed that made holes in the
custard." BY adding cold water she
kept the temperature just right.
She always served this pudding hot,
with cream, but it is good cold, too,

By the Chef

With the big drive for food con-
servation going on, great stress Is
laid on the necessity for wasting
not a single crumb of bread. One
of the best insurances against bread
getting stale or moldy is to keep
it in it's wax wrapper in the re-
frigerator., Even so, some leftover
bread is bound to turn up occa-
sionally in the best of families, so
1t is we'll to have a couple of des-
serts on hand that make good use
of it and satisfy the sweet tooth
at the same time.
One of my childhood favorites
was bread and butter custard pud-
ding. This is a fancy version OF
the regular bread pudding, to which
you always can revert If you don't
feel you can spare the butter that
gives extra nourishment to the dish.
Lightly butter 10 or IL slices of
slightly stale bread. Put them in
layers in a buttered baking dish
and sprinkle them with raisins be-
tween each layef. Mix about u
cup of sugar and 4 eggs in a bowl,
beating them hard so that they are
blended perfectly. Scald cups
of milk In a double boiler and pour
1t in with the sugar and eggs. Keep
stirring all the time. Then stir In
q teaspoon Of vanilla and strain the
