FIVE KILLED AS FLAME-SWEPT PLANE CRASHES I Fire Breaks Out in Ship as It Circles Field to Come Down. ) „ By L nitcd Bren* CAMDEN, N. J., Nov. 6.—Five men died in the flaming wreckage of a j fast Newark-to-Washington express i plane near here Thursday night. j Investigators today said the cause of the crash probably never will be known. The dead: Floyd C. Cox, 32, pilto, of Washington, former linotype operator, who had flown 3,500 hours without an accident. Vernon Lucas, 32, of Washington, another pilot who was riding ‘ dead j head” to surprise his wife and four ! children, waiting for him in Wash- ! ington. Francis R. Ehle, 33, of Riverton, 1 N. J., president of the International ' Resistance Company of Philadelphia, and one of the few recognized authorities of television. George B. Taylor, 53. of Washington, laboratory director of the I Chestnut Farm Dairy. Elmer Smith, 35, unmarried, ad- j vertising manager of the Washington Herald. The plane crashed on the grounds of the Copper River Country Club, | adjoining Central airport here, as | It was circling for a landing. A lowwing Lockheed monoplane, it was j owned by the Ludington Airlines, Inc. It was not scheduled to stop here, but was making a special stop to allow Ehle, whose home is sixteen miles from Philadelphia, to save time. His wife, Blanche, was waiting for him at the airport. She re- j quired medical attention when told he had been killed. Their two chil- j dren, Alice, 5, and Francis Jr., 3, were waiting at home for their ! father. Charles Ludwig, 14, who lives near | the airport, said the plane was . about 200 feet up when there was a flash of fire inside of it. A moment later the plane tilted as though the pilot were trying to side-slip to blow’the fire out. The plane was righted immediately, the boy said, and flames girdled the ship. It dropped to the ground a ! moment later. OLE ROLVAAG. NOBEL CANDIDATE, IS DEAD Norwegian Author Passes Soon ■ After Soil Trilogy Is Finished B.'i United f’rexs NORTHFIELD. Minn., Nov. 6.
