Atcheson Crash Laid
To Fuel Exhaustion
By the Associated Press

An Army Air Force Investigating
Board reported yesterday that fuel
exhaustion caused the Pacific Ocean
crash of a converted Bit bomber
in which Ambassador George Atche-
son and nine others were lost on
August 16. Mr.. Atcheson was
political adviser to Gen. Macarthur
in Japan.
An AAF announcement said that
the board, headed by Brig. Gen.
Frederick v. H. Kimble, determined
that excessively high power settings
were used, which caused the engine
to consume fuel at a rate too great
for the successful completion of a
flight of that duration" From
Kwajalein to Honolulu
The Accident Board offered no
explanation for the alleged failure
of the pilot to use the proper
throttle setting or, under the high
rate of fuel consumption, to have
passed up an available refueling
point Johnston Island).
The pilot, the announcement said,
had flown more than $500 hours,
of which 600 were in Bits such
as the one that crashed. The AAF
said that planes of the Bit type
have flown the Kwajalein- Honolulu
and longer runs many times in the
past"
The converted bomber went down
60 miles west of Honolulu.
The pilot was Capt. Kenneth R.
Still, whose wife lives at Youngs-
town, Ohio. He is officially listed
as missing.

Antelope Born
LAT Zoo Weighs
LESS Than Pound

A miniature duiker antelope from
West Africa gave birth at the Zoo
today to tiny, graceful fawn only
few inches high, and weighing less
than a pound.
Zoo Director William M. Mann
believes the parents are the only
breeding pair of their species in the
United tSateS. The adults, which
stand about 2 feet tall, also were
born at the Zoo here.
DR.. Mann captured the original
stock while on a collecting expedi-
ton to Liberia in 1910. Native beat
ers drove the little creatures into
nets and they later became quite
tame.
The Zoo has three species of West
African duikers on display in the
small mammal house. The addi-
ton to the herd spent most of his
first day hiding in the hay, from
which he peered at the passing
throngS.

Although water transported from
outside their communities has
aleviated a shortage during the
past few days, the 1000 residents
of Gaithersburg and Washington
Grove, Md, must continue to con-
serve or go without water part OF
the time.
That was the consensus yesterday
of officials of the towns and Of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, whose pumps supply
water from artesian wells.
Service has been restored to near
normal, thanks to three District
owned tank trucks with capacity of
$500 gallons each and a 2,000-gallon
Army surplus vehicle owned by the
Contee Sand and Gravel Co. of
Kensington.
Still residents are warned against
washing cars and sidewalks or
sprjnkling lawns until sufficient
water is returned to the seven wells
supplying the towns.
Commission Has 24-H0ur Job.
A steady rain or continued cool
spell with a resulting drop in water
consumption is necessary to restore
service completely, commission Off
Gals said.
Since Wednesday,, when most of
the homes of Gaithersburg and
Washington Grove - nearly 600
were without water at different
parts of the day, the Sanitary Com
mission has been work day and
night.

ing the war years, were denied In

Grated as Government-owne and
Army and Navy supervised plants.
The company can pay the assessed
damages or file an answer within
20 days, in which event a Labor De-
partment trial examiner will be ap-
pointed. The final decision then
would rest with the department s
wage-hour administrator.

tracts Division reported yesterday
that 81 per cent of the 40,350 firms
inspected for the year ending June
80 had violated the Accent per hour

quirements of child labor laws.
