Crash Described as Fireball.
Debris from the shattered, burned

often visited and which inspired
some of his poems.
Peasants living in the vicinity, still
horror stricken hours after the dis

ball exploding over their heads.
Some of them said they heard the
plane flying very low and splitting
before the crash.
1t. Col. Beja, director of Portela,
Lisbon's airfield, told newsmen:
although we were under dirty
weather, traffic has been regular and
services absolutely normal. FBAXQ,

they went silent.
They should by then have been
approaching Portela Airfeld. AS
they failed to appear and no longer
answered our signals, we immedi-
ately took the usual precautions and
later learned about the crash. The
airliner did not wireless any dis

races and creeds who give gener-
ously. of their time and money IN
the support and direction Of Chest
activities. They welcome construc-
tive criticism and questions from
the Washington public because such
questions lead to fuller understand
ing and to improvement in the func-
tioning of the Chest.
Samples Are Given.
Here are sample questions which
the contributing public ask together
with brief answers:
"Why does the Chest finance a
non-charitable agency such as the
Council of Social Agencies?
"The Council of Social Agencies
Is financed by the Chest because
by constant review of new and old
welfare services it prevents duplica-
ton of services, thus saving the
community money in both tax-sup-'
ported and philanthropic fields, also
it points out gaps in the community
welfare program, to the end that es-
sential welfare services are not
neglected, thus reducing the number
of social ills that might otherwise
become acute and costly if neglected.
"Why did the Chest authorize all
appropriation to the Council OF
Social Agencies for social survey?
THE survey was recommended by
the Council of Social Agencies to
the Chest. The object of the survey
was to point out social welfare needs
for postwar Washington and en-
virons and to furnish information
for the more efficient expenditure Of
Chest funds. On this basis the ap-
preparation was approved by the
Chest, although not unanimously,
and was made from income from
endowment funds which were unre-
stricted In use by the donors.
THE report of the Survey on Rae
ial Relations which has aroused
much discussion is the report of the
survey subcommittee which report
was turned over to the Council of
Social Agencies for its study and
: recommendations. These recon-
mendations have not yet been made.
No official action has yet been taken
on the report by the Council or by
the Chest.
Are Chest salaries abnormally
high?
We do not so consider them. They

 Speaker of the House, Oscar Gull said he had turned them over to q pague someone. "The someone" was finally determined to be 1. F Joy of Fairbanks, Chairman 0f the Ways and Means Committee. MT. Joy said he had left them ''somewhere"- maybe" they were in his desk, maybe" he could find them if he looked, but in his opinion, they didn't amount to anything anyway.
 Ne one in the House made the mistake of publicly announcing, as Senator Jones had in the Sen- ate, that he didn't care a hoot what the people said, he was there to use his "ewn brains".
 The voting, too, was revealing. All members of the Foarth Divi- sion delegation voted to scrap the Board Two members of this gFouD. Maurice Johnson and Robert Hoopes led the fight to pass the bill. They had able as- sistanee in series of raw deci- sioRs from Speaker Oscar Gill, who also apparently had conniv- ed suppresslng endorsements of the Board Joining them in vot- ing were two Republican Repre- ssntatives from Nome, Dewey Anderson and L. W. Laws, the two Republicans from the Third Division, Gill and Snider, and Republican Steve Vukovich from the tIrst Division.
 Thus nine of the Is House Republicans voted for the mea- sure to scrap the Board. They were joined by three Democrats, Eagan of Valdez, Newell of Ket- chlkan and HoopeS of Fairbanks Newell, who has heretofore been the volce of Senator Walker Tn the House, may want to do 8 little explaining on that one.
