Inquest Seeks to Find Why Ship Was Only 500 Feet Off Ground.
LOS ANGELES, May 19 (U. P.).— Coroner Frank Nance today sum-
required Willey to fly in ‘sight of the ground. A.

arrived at Municipal Airport day with mail from 83 Indiana cities as a highlight of Ry Airmail Week observance, which is | to be climaxed Saturday with a | huge reception for Postmaster Gen. Farley A committee of 230 representa- | tive citizens has been organized to | greet Mr. Farley, who is to speak at the dedication of the Federal Buiding wing Saturday. About 300,000 pieces of mail were in the cargo of the plane fleet Most of the planes are to make return trips with mail. Included among the pilots were two women, said by postal officials here to be the first ever to have flown airmail. Mrs. Lenore McElroy, Winamac, flew mail from Rensselaer. Her husband, Clarence, flew from Winamac. Helen G. House, Rochester, flew mail from there to South Bend. Dick Heller, Governor Townsend's executive secretary, is to meet the Postmaster General and his party at Columbus, O., and accompany them here. The reception committee is to meet Mr. Farley at the Union Station here. Under original plans, Mr. Farley’s headquarters were to be at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, but it was learned that reservations there are to be cancelled and that he will stop at the Claypool Hotel. The reason, it was said, was that Indiana postmasters, who will be meeting here the same day, will have headquarters at the Claypool. Plans for Dedication
The invocation at the dedication is to be given by the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, bishop of the Diocese of Indianapolis. Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker is to introduce Rep. Louis Ludlow, who is to preside. Mayor Boetcher and Governor Townsend are to speak. Rep. Ludlow is to deliver an address before he introduces Mr. Farley. | The Rev. Ernest N. Evans, execu- | tive secretary of the Church Fed- | eration of Indianapolis, is to deliver the benediction. Music is to be! furnished by the Postoffice band. Mr, Farley is to speak Saturday night at the Scottish Rite Cathedral during a joint banquet of the Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Postmasters, the Indiana State Postal Supervisors and the Indiana section of the National Feceration of Postoffice Clerks. Under present plans he is to remain here until Sunday morning.

Nance sought to determine why it was that Pilot Sid Willey was flying low through a heavy fog instead of high in the radio beam, where regular passenger planes were experiencing no difficulty. Willey, a Lockheed test pilot, was at the controls when the new $80,000 plane rammed a mountainside and exploded 50 miles north of here. “Witnesses told me that the airplane was flying only about 500 feet above the ground,” Nance said. “Under these circumstances, I believe it is proper for this office to investigate.” The inquest, set for 9:30 a. m,, will be held in a mortuary at San Fernando, where the bodies of three
