1870 Die in Air Crashes

A worldwide series of disastrous

At least 26 persons were injured,

The worst tragedy and biggest

but some witnesses told investigators
they saw the tail section of the big

would recommend that they be

Dental work was the principal

Crowds continued to gather at the

toes are stepped on ana whether or
not they coincide with those of the
CAB or any one else" Mr.. Behncke
said.
Meanwhile, Chairman James M.
Lands of the CAB said there was
no plan at this time to ground the
DC-42 that figured in the crashes.
so far as our preliminary reports
show" he said, there is absolutely
no casual connection between the
La Guardia Field crash in New
York and the Port Deposit, Md,
crash"
1t appeared probable that the
causes of both accidents would be
definitely determined. Through
stroke of luck, CAB investigators re-
turning from the crash at La Guar
dia Field Thursday night, saw the
Maryland tragedy from their plane,
three or four miles back.
Returning From Inquiry.
Sitting in the pilots seats of their
DC-3, and returning from investi-
eating a crash fatal to Al at La
Guardia Field, Col. Robert Garrett
of Falls Church, Va, senior air car
rier accident investigator, and John
Chamberlain of Arlington, assistant
director of the CABS Safety Bureau,
were able to rule out the usual re-
ports of inexperienced ground OBJ
servers of an explosion in the air."
While neither they nor two others
with them would be quoted as to the
cause of the accident before, max
ing their preliminary report, the
observers saw there was no fire in
the air, and that the transport went
down suddenly at near vertical
angle which could not be attributed
to failure of one or all engines.
With Mr. Garrett and Mrs. Cham
berlain were William X. Andrews,
chief of the CAB Accident Investi-
CATION Division, and Edward E. Stat
terry, jr., CAB information chief.
They were at 1000 feet, with the
latter two men in the cabin, when
the Newark-to-Miami transport
passed them on converging course.
None in the CAB plane saw the
control surfaces on the tail disinte-
CRATE, as reported by several observ-
ers on the ground, although they
later heard statements to this effect.
Indicates Controls Failed.
This would indicate that the con-
trolls failed aloft and tail sections
broke free before the transport fell
into the trees. Airmen specialized
on the possibility that a heavy bird
like a buzzard might have damaged
the control surfaces, although this
seemed unlikely in view Of the
sturdy construction of the big
transports.
The accident occurred several
hours before shutdown and CAB
officials were on the scene an hour
later.
Meanwhile. the units meteorolo-
giSt, George French. was dispatched
to La Guardia to obtain exact data
on weather conditions Thursday
night. The preliminary report says
there was positive evidence" of a
wind shift while the United Airlines'
DC-4 was taking off from a COM
paratively short runway.
The wind shift, of which the air.
men had been warned in advance,
