Hindenburg Disaster Cost
36Lives Just 18 Years Aqo

RIDGEWOOD, N. j., May 6
(P).-"It doesn't seem like l8
years ago today. The awful
memory of it seems like only
yesterday"
So said Charles Barnes of
Ridgewood today, recalling that
dark, squally May 6, 1887, when
the dirigible Hindenburg, Nazi
Germany's queen of the skies,
blew up and burned with the loss
of 36 lives in Lakehurst, N. j.
But for the grace of God, he
said, he would have been among
the dead laid out in rows at the
Lakehurst Naval Air Station
where the silvery airship crum-
pied to earth.
Mr.. Barnes, % at the time,
was machinist first class at

200 sailors, Marines and civilians
who made up the Hindenburg's
ground crew.
The ship, arriving on regular
trans Atlantic fight, encoun-
tered squalls over New Jersey
and cruised for hours before a
landing was tried about 7 pm.

and weighted down by the rain.

an intense heat across the back
of my neck.
THE ground began to steam
like mist. I looked back and
the ship, fiery mass, was drift
ing with me. I turned around
and started running the other
way.
THE conclusion from explod-
ing diesel fuel tanks knocked us
fiat. I looked up and the tail
section, lowering about 100 feet
above me, started to settle to
the ground. My foot caught
in some twisted girders. I
gave one last desperate lunge and
cracked right out of there.
"One of the other fellows with
me, civilian, burned to death.
One of the burning fuel tanks
dropped right on him. 1t was
horrible.
II think the only reason I
wasn't burned to death was that
my flight jacket had been soaked
through by the rain. When I
got free, the heat had dried 1t. !"
In looking back on the disaster.
Mr.. Barnes said 1T all seemed
incredible. like a nightmare"

The Government is consider
ing a change in draft regula-

The proposed change is
prompted by the rising average
age of draftees-now up to about

ministration's new military re-
serve program.
Officials said the proposed
changes-designed to be more
''lenient" with older draft-age
men-are being circulated among
interested agencies for review
and comment. They said they
did not expect early action.
At present. the practice is to
draft from the top dowrf-that

counsel of the American Truck

Fort. vice president and general
counsel Of the Association Of

yesterday blasting and support
ling the Presidential Advisory
Committee proposals.
Their positions were so diverse
that the subcommittee kept ques-
tions at q minimum and used
the hearing mainly for analysis
Of the recommendations. Mem
bers indicated, however, they
would come up with many chal-
llenges when they examine spe-
lcific legislation early in the next
session Of Congress.
The dispute between Mr.. Fort
and Mr.. Pinkney was on funda-
mental transportation policies.
Mr.. Fort favored dynamic COM
petition" Mr.. Pinkney called for
reasonable regulation" and a
uniformity Of freight structure. "
The truckers spokesman
urged Congress- mot to aban-
don its tiriie-tested national
transportation policy for. q re-
written version proposed by sew
eral members OF the cabinet. "
Secretary Of Commerce Weeks
was chairman of the presidential
advisory committee and Secre-
tary of Defense wilson was a
member. MIR. Pinkney remarked
that I'VE do not believe the adj
yisory committee could possibly
have studied the history of
transportation"
He predicted that limitation
Iof ICC authority by letting car
riers set their own charges with
in a special maximum minimum
would cause a Government-spon-
sored price war; it eventually
would benefit only the railroads,
big shippers and large commu-
mites, he said.
The suggested change. he con-
tended. would give the railroads
practically a free hand to charge
whatever rates they chose. This,
he said, would eventually bring
disaster to the trucking indus
try.
Earlier yesterday Mr.. Fort
urged the House subcommittee
Ito approve the report and ac-
Icompanying legislative bills. He
said the proposals would bring
lower transportation costs to the
public by giving transportation
companies greater freedom to
adjust rates"
He maintained that the sug-
Igested changses would give the
railroads no rights which other
forms Of transportation would
not have in equal measure.

Freight forwarders asked Con-
gress today to put teeth in a
Presidential Advisory Committee
proposal they hope win stop
"cut-throat competition Of fly
hy-night operators" in their in
dustry.
The Cabinet Level Committees
recommendation on national
transportation policy. particu-
larry a suggested limitation OF
Government regulation of rates,
was bitterly opposed by trucking
industry officials yesterday and
by Dave Beck. AFL Teamsters
Union president. in a statement
received by a House Commerce
subcommittee today. A railroad
association spokesman yesterday
Endorsed the proposals.
The report drew q measure OF
praise today from Giles Morrow
president and general counsel of
the Freight Forwarders Institute.
His only complaint to the House
subcommittee was that the Ad-
visory Committee should have
spoken even more strongly about
the need for legislation concern
ing regulation of freight for
warders.
Sfnall-Lot Specialists
He explained that freight for
warders are specialists In the
transportation of less-than-car-
load or than less-than-truckload
freight. They use the services of
rail. motor and waterway car
riers for transportation of ship
ments they assemble and bring
to specific points for longer
haulS.
Such forwarders came under
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion control in 1912. Mr.. Nor
row noted that the Advisory
Committee recommended that
Congress fix definite legal STAN
dards for determining which
shippers in such operations
should be subject to strict Fed
eral regulation.
Lack of such legal standards,
he declared. threatens ''irrepar-
able harm" to tine forwarderS
already subject to ICC regula-
ton. He charged that numerous
other operators. performing sub
stantially the same type Of work,
are rigging rates, underwriting
regulated forwarders and giving
rebates and similar favors to
customers.
"Can any one expect the ICC
to promote sound economic con-
ditions in the freight-forward-
ing industry when it has no
jurisdiction over large and OPP
portunistic elements of the IN
dustry?" MIR. Morrow asked.
How can reasonable charges be
maintained by the regulated
segment of the industry when
faced with cut-throat COMPETE
ton Of f1y-by-night operators.
Already the practices I have de-
scribed have gained such mo-
mentum that any effort to corr
rect may meet with stiff oppoS
sition."
Sees Return to Monopoly
Mr.. Beck Of the Transfers

ment that limitation Of In

sion regulatory authority would
bring back "the good old days
of railroad monopoly and un-
