Though he did not completely . rule out radio failure as a cause of the accident—worst In civil aviation history—he said he remem- | bered being in radio contact with . the control tower shortly before the crash. Airport control tower operators heve said they warned Rios by radio to circle the field before trying to land, but that he tailed to comply and came right in on top of the landing airliner. Asked If he had heard a lot of back and forth on his radio between the time he got his em"rgency landing instructions and the crash. Rios replied, “No.” Rios was reported reedy to make a full statement on last Tuesday's crash to federal investigators. Guillermo Gutierres. Bolivian ambassador to the organization of American stater, said the flier may be able to talk with invest). gators today or tomorrow. The civil aeronautics board begins formal hearings on the collision . tomorrow. Rios' condition was described as ’satisfactory" by attaches at nearby Alexandria.

CAPT. CROMMELIN (Coot. From Page One) acknowledged making public the confidential letters. Sherman said in the formal reprimand that it was ‘‘inconceivable” Crommelln did not know of the confidential classification. Sherman said that only a few days before the unauthorized disclosure, Crommelln was "expressly forbidden" to participate In a public discussion of unification in connection with Crommelin's appearance on u television program. “You were, therefore, fully appraised of the navy department's policy In that respect,” Sherman’s reprimand said. Sherman said Crommelln had violated the subordination part of article 1210 of the 1918 navy regulations. which states; "All person* in the naval service shall show in themselves a good • sample of subordination, courage, zeal, sobriety, neatness, and attention to duty. They shall aid to the utmost of their ability, and to the extent of their authoriy, in maintaining good order and disI clpllne. and in al! that concerns the efficiency of the command.” If You Havj Something To Bell Try A Democrat Want Ad—lt Pays.

The Chamber of Commerce will move into the suite of offices recently occupied by Roy S. Johnson, the Progressive Maintenance Corp and the Bockman Insurance agency. Roy 8. Johnson will move to the second floor of the DeVoss building into the rooms formerly occupied by David Macklin, who. in turn, will move into other offices of the DeVoss, Smith and Macklin law firm.

Evelyn Kingsley, formerly secretary to Johnson and the Progressive corporation, also moved into the Heller building, where she will continue to serve as secretary to the corporation as well as to Heller
