after the plane took off from the
field" Mr.. Price said. The pilot
apparently tried to head the plane
back to the field, but he just didn't
have enough altitude"
Before striking the Conley house
the plane scraped the drain spout
of another house and tore through
several branches of tree beside the
house.
The plane was broken in two
pieces. The front portion came to
rest inside a second story bedroom
and the rear portion was suspended
between the house and the tree.
Mr.. Price saw Mr.. Larson uncon-
scious in the rear section, which was
hanging several feet from the
ground. Fearing that the plane
would burst into flames, he pulled
Mr.. Larson to the ground while gas

Committees no later than next jan

submit his report to them by De-

Mr.. McGavin said he selected the
four cities he plans to visit because
they are comparable to the Wash
ington area in population and are
faced with similar traffic and park
ing problems. Philadelphia, he said
has a particularly messy problem
Two Cities Took Drastic Steps.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Mr..
McGavin said. took drastic action
toward municipal ownership of all
parking lots two years ago by order
ing parking lot operators to improve
their service.
THE investigation of Washington
parking lot rates and services was
conducted by sending question
naires to all District operators This
information is now being compiled
and studied.
Mr.. McGavin said it is impossible
to establish an average rate for
parking on lots and plazas here.
The prices range, he said, from the
as cents tor the first five hours and
10 cents an hour thereafter, at the
two new fringe" parking lots. to
as high as IS cents for the first hour
and either tve or 10 cents an hour
thereafter at other privately owned
lots. The other rates range some
where in between.
No Meters in Baltimore.
In Baltimore, Mr.. McGavin will
find situation similar to that IN
Washington. AS near as the rates
can be averaged, Baltimoreans must
pay IS cents tor the first hour, Is
cents for the second hour and lesser
amounts thereafter.
Baltimore shoppers pay Is cents
to park on lots and plazas run by
some department stores. There are
no parking meters in that city.
Downtown parking spaces on the
streets, however. are extremely
difficult to find. Baltimore authorl-
ties are as upset about the parking
space situation as are Washington
officials.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The con-
gestion atop the American League
with only one more week to 60 ir
the do or die" flag chase, was re.
lieved slightly here today when the
Boston Red Sox dealt the New York
Yankees a crushing 7-to-2 defeat
in the second game of their crucial
three-game series.
The defeat dropped the Yanks--
temporarily at least-from the
three-way tie for the lead in the
pennant race and left the Red Sox
and Cleveland's Indians, who de-
feated Detroit, locked in a double
knot atop the field.
Jack Kramer, veteran of many
baseball wars, hurled the Sox to
victory with an impressive seven
hitter before a crowd of 65,607. It
was costly defeat for the jittery
Yanks who saw their pennant hopes
jolted with only six games remain
ing for each of the three contend
ing teams.
In Superb Form.
Kramer was in superb form. De-
spite II won, lost record on the
year. he has been no sensation with
the Red Sox this season.
But today when the chips were
down the handsome fugitive from
the st. Louis Browns silenced the
Yankees power. AS evidence of his
Wizardry, Boston's outfielders were
required to make only three putouts,
the first of these being the final
out of the seventh inning.

which was registered by Vic Turyr

in the third period.
1t was Larue, however, who turned
in the games longest and most
thrilling run, an 80-yard punt re-
turn through the entire Richmond
eleven for a score early in the final
period.
Richmond never seriously threat

the first period and the Terp Il
