Several persons were mangled i by the propellor before their j bodies were ignited. Many who escaped the flames were bndly trampled in the panic that followed. Several persons charged into the i tire to make rescues. A two-year-old child stood for an instant, eni veloped In flames. The mother, already critically burned, ran deeper into the fire to the child's side. The baby was dead. An uninjured man dragged the mother from the first but she died before she could be placed in an ambulance. Another man ran into the fire I and dragged the pilot's body away. His was the first body recovered. A picture of his one-year-old son fell from his.pocket as he was lifted into an ambulance. The crowd's hysteria was Increased by the fact that hundreds of families had been separated while milling about during the parade of 5.000 soldiers and the air show put on by 35 planes. There were thousands present who feared that their own relatives had been in the fire. They pressed close about the blazing patch of ground, interfered with ambulances and hundreds followed the victims to hospitals and morgues to Identify them. Only a few minutes before the crash. President-elect Santos had told the minister of war: "I am opposed to aerial maneuvers above crowds because I remember the tragedy that I witnessed in the airdrome of Pissy, near Paris, in the early days of aviation, when Jan airplane cut off the head of 1 Minister of War Bertaux.”

REP. MAVERICK PRIMARY LOSER i Leader Os Liberal Bloc Defeated In Texas Primary Election — Dallas. Tex., July 25- (U.R) Hep. | Maury Maverick, leader of the j ’ house liberal bloc, was defeated | for renominatlon today on the basis of complete returns from Saturday's Democratic campaign. That was one result of an unique primary campaign. Others were: W. Lee O'Daniel, a flour salesman who campaigned with a hill-billy band and used the IP commandments as his platform, won the gubernatorial nomination with a clear majority over his 11 ' opponents, which made a run-off primary unnecessary. Rep. Morgan Sunders, a veteran congressman, was apparently defeated; Rep. W. 1). McFarlane, who. with Rep. Mav-' erick shared an Indirect blessing from President Roosevelt, trailed his opponent. Paul J. Kilday of San Antonio. Maverick's opponent, was supported by the San Antonio Democratic machine which Maverick has always fought. Complete returns gave: Kilday 24,929. Maverick 24,383. The result was so close —Kilday I had won by only 546 votes — that i friends of Maverick believed he i would seek a recount Maverick said when informed of the final tabulation that he would I not contest the election. He said that he would take a “good two years rest and then be back up there.” I “Lincoln got beat four times,” Maverick said cheerfully. “I guess 1 can take it once. I’ll take a good two year’s rest and be back up there.” Sanders and McFarlane both appeared defeated. Sanders by Lindley Beckworth; McFarlane by Ed , Gossett. Only a few votes remained to be counted; seeming too few to change the result. President Roosevelt did not endorse either Maverick or McFarI lane when he visited Texas recently. He referred to them separately as “my good friend.” I Kilday had said during his campaign (hat he would be no "rubber stamp” congressman, but endorsed i the new deal. He pointed to Maverick's support of the committee for industrial organization and in- ! dicated that he would take a less ’ firm stand in labor matters than . Maverick had. O'Danlel's nearest opponent was Ernest O. Thompson, state railroad commissioner. The flour salesman had a majority of more than 17,000 votes over all opponents. Returns from 242 or 254 counties. 71 complete, as compared by the state election bureau, showed: () Daniel 403.582 Thompson 161.993 William McCraw 109,309 Tom Hunter 83.493. The other candidates were far > behind. O'Daniel said that he at no time | “presumed that 1 would get the nomination. Maverick has been one of the new deal's strongest supporters in the house. Friendly toward labor, and toward social and economic j legislation advanced by the admin-i istration. he was a leader of a< liberal group in the hous. He was; a bitter critic of Mayor Frank I Hague of Jersey City. Ten of 21 incumbent congressmen had no opposition. Among those without an opponent was Sam Rayburn, house majority leader. With the exception of Maverick. Sanders, and McFarlane, the other

Incumbents we.re re-nominated. The Democratic nomination in l Texas is tantamount to election. I UNION STAGE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) j suspended officers still were wait-' Ing to be called before the union's > executive board to answer charges that they “conspired with com-' munlsts ’ to wreck the UAW. President Homer Martin of the union, fighting to retain his supremacy. met with the bourd behind double doors. Thu meeting was In extreme secrecy. The suspended officers. Richard ! Frankensteen, Ed Hull. Wyndham; Mortimer and Walter Wells, sat,' Ironically. In the office formerly occupied by Frankensteen. It adjoined the presidential office of Martin — indicative of the close alliance between the two before Frankensteen led a factional split last May which has cracked the j union wide open. None of the men on trial, all I accused of conspiring with communists had any comment as they I arrived at the UAW offices. With! them was Addes. who two weeks ago was expelled from the union after a brief trial. Those on trial today obviously expected a similar fate. GOST OF CRIME IS INCREASING Report Shows One Os Every 37 Persons In U. S. A Criminal Indianapolis. July 25. —<UR> —One in every 37 persons in the United States is a criminal and 200,000 of those now living will commit murd-1 er before they die, according to a report released today by Philip Lutz, Jr., chairman of the American Bar Association's criminal law enforcement committee. Lutz’s report will be submitted to the Bar Association meeting in I Cleveland this week. The report asserts that crime costs in the nation increased six, and two-tenths per cent in 1937 over 1936 and that a major crime is committed in the country every 22 seconds. “'Jvr crime rate is seven times that of England and our murder rate 20 times that of England.” tne report said. “Today the United States has the greatest prison population to total population of any country in the world." ‘ “It must be remembered that under the spirit and form of our government. 100 per cent enforce-, ment is not possible. By increasing the powers and number of officers. by decreasing the safeguards against accused persons, and by limiting our freedom of regulations, we could easily bring about a better record of enforcement. Yet our committee feels that. as. a general proposition, action along such lines would be un- : wise, “The committee does believe that: ; improvement in criminal law enforcement is possible through action along other lines and that the American Bar Association has an obligation to perform in this re- [ gard. “It is not asking too much to urge that the efforts of our association be clearly thrown on the side of honest, courageous law en-1 forcing officials and against organized crime and its allies. “How this force can best be exerted is a question for which our committee is not yet prepared to suggest an answer, although it is, hoped that, with continued consideration and suggestions of others, •

UNEMPLOYMENT GRAVE PROBLEM Gov, LaFollette Calls Unemployment Greatest Problem Os Day South Bend, Ind., July 25.—<U.R) I —Unemployment is the greatest problem facing America since the ■ question of slavery, Gov. Philip F. t i LaFollette, of Wisconsin, leader I of the National Progressive party, I told approximately 5,000 persons 'attending the United Rubber Workers annual picnic here Saturday. Speaking before local No. 65 of ! the Mishawaka United Rubber | Workers of America, LaFollette ad- : vanced the theory that "the right , use of the ballot to select a polit-■ leal party that is honest in facing the employment issue and possessL es the power and responsibility to I proceed and solve it is the solu ! ■ tlon to the future of our nation." . "It makes no difference whether ' that party be Democratic, Republican or a third party, If the future of America is to be secure we i must have a party which is not ' split with disunity," he warned. In critizing both major polit-1 j leal parties the governor said, “the I l old guard In both parties resembles ; an old saying about the Bourbons: j They never learned aything and , ' they never forgot anythig.’ ” "Thirty of the $50,000,000,000, . bank deposits are now held in the | bank. In order to return a profit the money must be put Into circu- ; lation. Capital is idle because it sees no chance to make a profit. Real wealth is needed to provide a better life for the workers but the wealth must be achieved through honest toil of the labor- | er.” Many Reunions Scheduled F o r Summer Months it — 4 Sunday July 31 Haggard Reunion, Lehman park, Berne.

Neither was Injured seriously. Judge Garett is a member of the court of customs and patent appeals in Washington. He served in the national house of representatives from , the ninth Tennessee District from j 1905 to 1929 when he was appointed . to the present post by President j Coolidge, He was Democratic floor | leader of the sixty-eighth house. Judge and Mrs. Garrett were en | route to Geneva. Neb., to visit a .daughter when their car collided with one driven by Mrs. Ttlamie Schultz of La Porte, Ind., TERRORISM FLAMES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) expected crisis. It was expected that there would be a complete and dangerous dead- ’ lock, for a time at least, between ■ | the Czechoslovak government and leaders of the German minority in I • Czechoslovakia. The aim of Great Britain, par- ’ ticularly. was to make sure that this deadlock did not spread dis-, ! cord to all Europe. I Present British diplomatic efforts ! as regards Germany go back to the I beginning of this year when Sir ‘ i Neville Henderson. British ambas- ‘ sador at Berlin, and Joachim Von ! Ribbentrop. German foreign minister. began talks which it was I hoped might be preliminary to ' negotiations for a friendly under- | standing between Britain and Geri many and might even lead to disI cussion of colonial concessions to ! Germany. The seizure of Austria by Ger-1 many and the Czechoslovak crisis of May 21 ended these talks abrupt- : ly and completely. Britain and Geri many were drawn farther apart than before. Last Monday. Capt. Fritz Wiedemann. Hitler's personal adjutant, had a secret two hour talk with Viscount Halifax, British foreign secretary. Next day Halifax left, as minister in attendance, with King George for his state visit to Paris. In Paris Halifax had i talks with Premier Edouard Dala- | diet- and Foreign Minister Georges I Bonnet of France. Friday, while

Halifax still waa In Paris. Dr. Herbert Von Qirkseti, German atnbtutsa dor. had a long talk with Chamberlain. The remit was to encourage Britain to urge both Czechoslovakia and France, us Czechoslovakia’s ally, to go as far us possible in
