Crash Investigators
To Study P-38 Radio;
All Bodies Recovered

Navy divers today were rigging
hoisting tackle to the Bolivian
P-38 believed to contain valuable
clues to the cause of the worlds
biggest airplane disaster.
The speedy, twin-engined fight
er, however torn and twisted, prob
ably still bears markings to reveal
the angle at which it chopped
through the fuselage of an Eastern
Airlines DC-4 just south of Ma
tional Airport Tuesday.
Further light on the tragedy
that cost SIS lives may be shed by
the radio equipment over which
Pilot Eric Rios Bridoux, 80, talked
back and forth with National Air
port traffic controllers before tax
ing off on what was to have been
a routine test flight.
Rios Given 60-40 Chance.
While Capt. Rios clung to life
today with what doctors believed
was 60-40 chance of survival,
salvage operations were under
way from a f1oa' ing Navy crane
near the spot where the captains
P-38 catapulted him through
plastic canopy into the Potomac.
He was rescued to become the lone
survivor.
The fact that Capt. Rios lived
more than an instant after his
fast fighter hit the airliner from
above and behind is a mystery
to military aviation experts. They
are interested to see the condition
Of the heavy safety belts which
usually are fastened in flight, es-
pecially during landings and take
offs. Valuable clues also should
be any sections of the canopy that
may be recovered.
Meanwhile. harbor police re-
covered the last body-that of
William Smythe of Long Island,
N. Y, secretary-treasuruer Of a
pencil manufacturing company.
All 55 bodies have now been iden-
titled. the airline announced.
Capt. Rios. director of aviation
for Bolivia, is a veteran pilot
who has crossed the Andes many
times in P-38s.
Radio Will Be Examined.
Capt. Rios has broken back,
three broken ribs and pneumonia
in one lung, in addition to severe
scalp lacerations and facial
bruises. The physician attending
the flyer said today he is not out
of danger, but apparently has
recovered somewhat from the
shock ne received Wednesday
night when he learned for the
first time that his plane had
struck an airliner.
Experts from the Civil Aero
nautics Boards Bureau of Safety
Investigation were waiting today
for a minute examination of the
receiving and sending radio equip
ment in the P-38. They want to
see the wave-length settings on
the dials, and the condition of
radio equipment. The rugged
sets installed to Withstand war
time shocks may still reveal if
they were in good order at the
time Of impact, and still retain
Capt. Rios dial settings.
An explanation for the tragedy
may yet be found in the moni-
tored conversation between the

late Capt. George Ray, COM
mander of the DC-4. Capt. Ray.
flying in excellent visibility, was
on course. on time and following
tower instructions to the letter
when cut down from behind, ac-
cording to CAA observers watch
ing from the tower.
Instructions Disregarded.
The Bolivian, for some reason
as vet unexplained, disregarded
repeated and increasingly frantic
tower instructions, and approached
the runway already assigned to the
DC-4 at an unusual speed and
steep angle" without deviating
from a course he set at 5000 to
1000 feet about mile south of
Alexandria, according to tower
operators. The P-38, with flaps
and wheels down, was still on
this collision course when Capt.
Ray was ordered to make an
emergency turn away from his
curved landing approach. The
captain complied Immediately. but
1t was then too late.
There seems little doubt that
neither pilot had seen the other
plane when they collided at some
600 feet altitude.
CAB and airline experts today
still worked with the salvaged
wreckage of the DC-4, which was
trucked from the bank by Air
Force equipment, and raised from
Is feet of water by the Navy
crane. They were seeking to
establish the colliding airplane's
position at the time of the i'm
pact for comparison with marks
on the fighter.
Results of the approaching pub
lie hearing to be conducted here
by the CAB probably will have a
bearing on the complex question
of liability. A question to be
determined is whether the Boliv-
ian government had assumed title
and responsibility for the surplus
warcraft, being purchased from a
private disposal agency. Capt.
Rios was preparing to fly the
plane to Bolivia and had ordered
some notifications.
Hope for Further Questioning.
It was learned yesterday that
Capt. Rios has made a fairly!
comprehensive statement to CAB
investigators, who hope to ques-
ton him further when his condi-
tion permits. The CAB is holding
the information in confidence
pending the hearing.
Among hundreds of prospective
witnesses being interviewed are
operators of the control towers at
the Anacostia Naval Air Station
and Boiling Air Force Base. Ma
tional and the two military fields
across the river are tuned to the
same frequencies and monitor each
other because of interconnecting
approaches.
The CAB wants to learn If the
military observers got the same
version of the conversation as that
given by Nationals controllers, and
if Capt. Rios was heard to respond
to the orders directing him to fol-
low a circular traffic pattern at
first. and then to, turn left! :.
turn left"
Capt. Rios speaks excellent
English and his talks with the
tower prior to take-off were rou-
tine, it was said.
Meanwhile. the CAB was scour-
ing Washington for a public hear
ing room large enough to accom-
modate the witnesses. officials, re-
porters and public expected to at
tend. It was at first believed the
hearing would start next week,
but plans probably will not be
completed for about 10 days, a

cupation is seriously handicapped
by such things as the nonconvert-
Utility of sterling, the growth of
bilateral trade complications, and
the economic prostration of Ger
many (Which was once one of the
best customers for their butter
and bacon and best suppliers of
their industrial products).
The normal prewar trade on
which Denmark depended was a
three-cornered one. The Danes
shipped butter and bacon to Brit
ain for pounds. They sold the
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-04-01

pounds for dollars. They used the
dollars to buy grain and oil cake
to feed the COWS, to make the
butter, to earn the pounds, and
so on. This system has stopped
working Hence the postwar say
ing that Denmark S trouble is
chiefly the nonconveruplhty of the
pound sterling"
Danes Welcome Marshall Plan
The five years of German occu-
patton were immensely costly. The
Danes had to help feed Germany
on the cuff. and will never get
paid. They couldn't import grain
and oil cake, and so had to let
their livestock population run
down. A hundred thousand Danes
were put to forced labor.
Normal maintenance was slowed
or stopped on farms, diaries, fac
tories, railroads, etc. The Danes
estimate the cost at about Is
months national income. A cor
responding amount for the United
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-04-01

This writer recently returned
from trip to the three Scandi-
navian countries, Denmark, Swe-
den, and Norway, in company with
16 other news writers and wire
service men. Sponsored by ECA,
the trip was designed to- show the
why and how of the Marshall
Plan in northern Europe.
Perhaps the most conspicuous
fact about Denmark is it's small
ness. 1t is the Delaware of Eu-
rope. The average farm is less
than 40 acres and the typical farm
less than 60. The industries are
small. The diaries are so small
that their costs are twice what
they should be. The average man S
automobile is a bicycle.
Danes a Generous People
But the hearts of the Danes are
large. They fed 250,OOO German
refugees for years after they got
rid of the German Army, and to
Americans they seem, perhaps, the
most hospitable people in the
world. If they will not give guests
the shirts off their backs, they
will at least give them the meager
points out of their ration books.

I'VE Will Fight For

stated Norwegian Minister of De-
Tense Jens Christian Hauge in re-
ply to a recent query
The Minister was denying a re-
port originating with a foreign
news agency to the effect that
Norway, in the course of recent
Scandinavian negotiations, had
agreed to write Off the area
north of Narvik in event of attack.
On the contrary, he declared, dur
ing all negotiations and discussions
special emphasis was placed on
securing the northern areas and
at no time was their writing off,
even considered.

worth mentioning. Three-quarters
of it's total area is cultivated. And
nearly all the grain, potatoes, and
soybeans the Danish farmers can
grow they feed to their Red Dane
cows and their pigs. There are
nearly as many Red Danes as hui
man Danes in the country, and
for a few years before the depres-
sion and when the war hit Den
mark it held more pigs than peo-
pie.
The one exception to this state
ment is the huge city of Copen-
hagen-larger for Denmark. than
Paris is for France. It's name is
significant; it means merchants
harbor, and by virtue of its stra-
tegic location between the Baltic
and the Atlantic it has long been
one of the worlds leading ports.
1t typifies Denmark's dependence
on international trade.
Danes Make Everything Count
The Danish economy, built
around the COW and the pig, is
both tight and neat. Like the
Chicago meat packers who are
said to use everything but t h
squeal, the Danes make every
thing count. They grow the grain
for their kline, but they supple
ment it when crops are poor with
imported grain, so as to keep up
a steady and reliable supply of
their products to foreign custom
erS.
To increase the protein content
of what they feed they import oil
cake. They squeeze the oil cake,
and give only the protein-bearing
mash to the cows, converting the
oil into margarine. which they eat
themselves instead of their own
butter, which they export.
They separate the full milk,
make butter and cheese out of the
cream, and feed the skim milk to
the pigs-eXporting the resultant
bacon. Anything left over goes to
the hens, which in good times used
to lay over 100000 tons of eggs
year
A typical small Danish farm of
1920 acres has a couple of small
horses, five or six mich cows,
four or five young cattle, eight or
ten pigs, and from so to 100 hens.
The system, developed in recent
generations, recalls the description
of 19th-century free enterprise in
which little was planned but
much accomplished"
Trade Vital to Denmark
Because. of its high specializa-
ton (75 per cent of its exports
are butter, bacon, cheese, and
eggs, Denmark is perhaps more

States today would be some $500
billions.
Thus crippled, and hampered in
their reconstruction efforts by the
prostration of Germany, the ex-
haustion of Britain, and the COM
plications of postwar international
trade, the Danes welcomed the
Marshall Plan aid and are using it
for reconstruction. over four years
it will come to around $500, 900, 900,
or about twice what the United
States Government is spending this
year alone to keep up the price
of potatoes in this country.

PIMPI.Es

PIMPLES
One of the most common skin
problems causing considerable
concern and dismay, particular.
ly among teen.agers, is acne
vulgaris or what is commonly
called "pinples."
This condition affects the ma.
jority of American youths to a
greater or lesser degree during
adolescence. It is an inflamma.
tory process involving the skin
glands Of the face, shoulders,
chest and back. Frequently it is
accompanied by dandruff Of the
scalp.
The condition is usually a 10.
cal disease Of the skin but its
course and duration are influ-
enced by general health, endo.
crime changes and diet. Infec-7
lions and constipation tend to
aggravate 1t.
Formerly It was believed that
sweets made the condition worse,
but careful studies during re-
cent years have indicated that 1t
Is perhaps not the sugars that
cause the trouble. Rather, It is

There seems to be no doubt
but that certain foods definitely

as bromides and iodides can pro.

Blackheads commonly are as

cases may persist for several
years until adult age is reached,
when it most commonly disap.
pears spontaneously. There are
exceptions to this, some cases

and others becoming chronic and
disfiguring If not treated proper

Most cases respond readily to
treatment, and usually the re-

cases are definitely associated
with some underlying general
condition, it should be remem.

the skin alone, without correct

might be aggravators.
