SEATTLE, R-Off course and afire in storm, commercial airliner from California carried seven persons to a flaming death at the foot of a mountain IS miles east of here Wednesday night.

 The four-engined DC-4 owned by the Flying Tiger Airlines of Burbank, Calf, barely missed 1,98O-foot Squak mountain as it wandered about in one of this winters worst wind and rain storms, apparently seeking Boeing Field here.
 Then, witnesses said, it appeared to catch fire at an altitude of 500- 500 feet, nosed down and roared straight into a ploughed field.
 Vincent Herlihy, on whose farm the plane landed, said his son Michael Is, was looking out the front room window of their farm home when he called to Herlihy There's plane on fire out here" "
 Herlihy rushed to the front door and just as he got there, the fam ing craft hit the ground, sending up huge flash of flame that lighted the entire area like day. light.
 Wreckage was scattered over a wide area. It was believed all aboard were killed outright.
 The plane was bound for Boe- ing Field, Seattle. The passengers were the wife and children of a Flying Tiger Line pilot. They were homeward bound after a holiday visit with the wife's par ents in Los Angeles.

Rehabilitation Work
In Georgetown Cited
Al Realtors Meeting
BY Robert J. Lewis
Stor Ssoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES Nov. IL
Washington's big rehabilitation
job. in Georgetown, the Capitol
Hill area and other sections was
cited today at the National
Realtors Convention here as an
example of what can be done
throughout the country by pri-
vate builders to eliminate slums
and improve deteriorating neigh
borhoods.
Fritz Burns, chairman of the
National Association of Real
Estate Boards Build-America-
Better Council, outlined a drive
for stepped-up rehabilitation
work on dwellings in American
cities and called attention to
the reclamation of Georgetown
dwellings as perfect job"
1--WE cannot hope to do ex-
actly the same kind of job in
every city in the country, nor
would it be necessarily advisable
to rehabilitate in just the way it
was done in Georgetown" he
said.
Benefits and Profits.
"But Georgetown and other
Washington areas that have been
cleaned up point the way. and
make it plain that once the ball
starts rolling there is benefit as
we'll as profit in private enter
prise going ahead with real
rehabilitation program"
The realtors proposal for the
country as a whole called for:
1. Strict enforcement of health,
safety and sanitary codes.
2. Demolition of structures
which cannot be rehabilitated.
3. Improvement of municipal
facilities, and replanning and
rezoning of older neighborhoods.
4. Income tax incentives to at
tract capital.
S. Adaptation of FILA mort
gage insurance programs to en-
courage rehabilitation-a move
which Mr. Burns said he under
stands FHA expects to recon-
mend.
Mr.. Burns said he thinks
bankers will be interested in the
program. and that they have an
obligation to guard values in
neighborhoods which are apt to
need rehabilitation most.
At a session yesterday of the
46th annual meeting here,
Charles B. Shattuck, president of
the association, told landlords
illegal exploitation of tenants
must be stopped if slums are to
be outlawed."
ExOrbitant Profits.
"The time is here and now
when the searchlight of public
1ty and the full power of pub
lie indignation must be turned
on those owners who exact ex-
orbitant profits from the un-
lawful overcrowding of dwell
ingS," he said.
Mr.. Shattuck said at least 20
per cent of the country's hous-
ing suffers from "age and/or
neglect to such an extent that
1t needs to be rehabilitated."
AT another session, association
officials outlined a proposal to
establish a central national mort
gage association, which would
act as a secondary mortgage
market and open up new sources
OF mortage money.

Then she had to get out of

in a hurry. She got the notes out

hind the portrait, put his finger

of the portrait would be an in
dication of guilt - and an indi-
cation that the notes had been
successfully removed. Eloise

the portrait. Frances. l bowed

VISIT ALMOST any farmstead
and you will see several old tires
put to practical use. The most COM
mon uses are for waterers and feed
ers for poultry, pigs, etc. Cut them
around the greatest diameter into
two equal parts and they make fine
containers for feed and water that
do not leak, are not easily over
turned, and will last for years.
Another common use is for chill
dren's swings. Hung by a long rope
about Is inches from the ground,
it will give a lot of pleasure to the
kids, either for swinging high or
for twisting and letting the cat
die"
Many housewives like to use them
for flower beds, sometimes leaving
them plain, often painting them in
various colors.
Another very common use for a
large tire is for a sand pile for the
tots to play in. 1t is very easy to
get and fill, there are no sharp
corners to catch clothing or to bump
against, and nothing to fall from.
When the sand gets dirty, it is a
simple matter to empty the sand
into a tub full of water, rinse it up
and down with a strainer, and it is
ready to dry and use over.

''TO AVOID the danger of killing
song birds and small animals from

cutworms, a good safety trick is to
put the poisoned bait under orange
or grapefruit halves saved from the

slugs like citrus fruits and will
crawl under these shells. The hol-
low halves of the fruits make safe
places to place small amounts of
bait, since neither birds or animals
care for them."-E. A. E.
