NAVY INQURIES

STUDY CRASHES

FATAL TO FIVE

Four Others Injured in San Diego Bombing Plane ‘Disasters Yesterday.

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 16 (U.P). —A U. 8. Navy Board of Inquiry convened today seeking to determine

whether the crashes of three large bombing planes in this area yesterday, killing five men and injuring _ four, might have resulted from a common factor. One of the planes plunged into a spin. 10 miles north of San Diego end crashed to earth, killing its crew of three. The other two planes nosed over in San Diego Bay. ‘The six men in the first of these two craft escaped while the huge VP-5 bomber floated upside down. In an almost identical accident, the second VP-5 plane nosed over and sank before a Navy crash boat could reach it. Two men were killed and four injured seriously.

Prepare for Mass Flight

The two VP-5 planes were part of a squadron of 16 going through maneuvers last night in preparation for a nonstop formation flight to the Canal Zone next month. The plane which crashed in Kearney Mesa north of here was on a routine training flight. The dead in the Kearney Mesa crash were: Michael Frank Moscicki, second - class pilot of Pensacola, Fla. Ralph Thomas Carter, aviation chief ordnance man, San Diego. Donald Fay Smith, radioman, -third class, Des Moines, Iowa.

Parachute Caught

The crash was witnessed from the air by A. H. Pike, civilian flying instructor, who was cruising in a plane nearby. Mr. Pike said he saw a man believed to be Mr. Smith try- * ing to jump from the plane, but his parachute caught in the wreckage and he could not escape. The others did not attempt to parachute. Mr. Pike said the plane went info a quick spin and crashed from an altitude of 3000 feet. None of the crew of six in-the first VP-5 plane was injured. . Their names were not disclosed by Navy officials. In the second VP-5 plane, one of the two men killed tentatively was identified as “H. Boeckman.” The name of the other man will not be ~made public until his relatives are informed. : A. A. Bellamacina, second-class machinist, and R. O. Chrisinger, rank undisclosed, were taken to Naval Hospital in serious condition. The other two men in the crew were not identified by authorities.

Adams, and Machinist's Mate William Hornby. Cause of the explosion was not revealed by naval headquarters. The Nautilus is 378 feet long and one of the world’s largest submarines.

State highway _ commission engineers are becoming better estimators, C. W. Siniff, commission member, said today. Mr. ‘Siniff announced that the “spread” between highway estimates and bids has become smaller in most instances on contracts let during the past year. He attributed it to “closer estimating”. by engineers. - - “Several /years ago,” Mr. Siniff explained, “our engineers were ap‘parently estimating too high, because bids were quite a bit lower than ‘estimates in ‘most cases. “We tightened up on them and 1 think are now doing a betier job.”

Publicity Given

to Rajah’s

Daughters Upsets Sarawak

SINGAPORE, Aug. 16 (U. P.).—“Fantastic Publicity” for the two

younger daughters of the white Rajah of Sarawak, Sir Charles Vyner Brooke, is having an undesirable effect upon the natives of the state, according to the Straits Times, which: reflects European opinion in

Borneo and Malaya.

The rajah has three daughters, the younger one being Princess Pearl, wife of Henry Roy, dance band leader, and the other the former

Princess Baba, wife of Bob Gregory, é-

wrestler. The rajah’s eldest daughter .is Lady Inchcape.

“The craziest press agent in his wildest dreams hardly could have equaled the stream :of fantastic publicity which Sarawak and its . ruler had to endure in recent years,” said a leading article in the Straits Times. 0

Discussing the effect on the headhunting Dyak natives of the tune “Sarawaki,” composed by Harry Roy, and the reports from America that Mrs. Gregory is planning a new country in the Dutch East Indies lo ae called “Babaland,” the writer said: . “It is unfortunate that whenever Sarawak gets info the headlines nowadays, it invariably does so in an undignified and sensational manner.

“There is nothing wrong with band leaders and all-in wrestlers as such, but unfortunately in the eyes of Malays and Dyaks a princess is a princess. Naturally it isn’t doing any good. “When one reads the history of solid, sacrificing work done by three generations of British officers in Sarawak, and reads of ‘Sarawaki’ and. ‘Babaland,’ one can understand why primitive impulses in Sarawak’s population are not confined to Dyak head-hunters.” Sir Charles Brooke carries on the tradition of his family, despite the embarrassments caused by the
