FRANK HAWKS DIES IN CRASH

Record Holder’s Death Laid To Violation of Primary Safety Rule.

(Continued from Page One)

beeri burned severely and also had suffered fatal internal injuries. The accident occurred in yesteryday’s twilight at East Aurora, near here. Capt. Hawks had ‘landed in . a polo field to pick up Mr. Campbel, who was a prospective purchaser of the plane, an “Aircar” manufactured by the Gwinn Aircar Co., Buffalo, of which Capt. Hawks was vice-president and sales manager. Mrs. Hawks, who was informed of the tragedy at her home near Rédding, Conn., was persuaded ‘by friends not to come here. Joseph M. Gwinn, president of the company, said that Mrs. Hawks requested that the remains of her husband be cremated in Buffalo, and the ashes sent to her. There were no witnesses close enough when the plane crashed to provide a detailed story, but J. K. Nitterauer, treasurer of the Gwinn Co.; said that the position of the wreckage indicated that Capt. Hawks had availed himself of the privilege of the expert’ to "break rules which a novice wouldn't .dare break.

Dies After “Retirement”

There was more than this touch of irony to Capt. Hawks’ death. He ‘had flown fhe fastest, and, ‘here‘fore, the most dangercus planes ever made with but one serious accident, and in April, 1937, he had retired from ‘speed flying because he vas past 40 and wanted to live the remainder of his life comfortably a safely. His only serious accident was in 1932, when his plane cracked up at Worchester, Mass., on an attempted takeoff. Capt. Hawks was cut severely in the face, and arms and his jaw was broken. The plane in which he died, although radical in appearance, was ‘designed primarily for safety and equipped with every known safety device. It was as nearly automatic as modern aviation knowledge could make it, leaving little to the judgment of the pilot. Capt. Hawks had flown it for months.

Clothing Burned on

The persons nearest to the crash scene were a half mile away. They heard the plane’s motor leap into a roar for the take-off. An. instant later .they saw a blinding flash, followed a split second later by a crash. They raced to the scene and found Mr. Campbell unconscious on the ground, Capt. Hawks urnconscious in the blazing plane. They pulled him out, his clothes aflame. The polp field was on the estate of Seymour Knox, internationally known polo player, and Mr, Campbell’s “irother-in-law, Capt. Hawks had Mvited Mr. Knox and several others to join them on joe flight, but all refused. The plane ripped down electric power and phone wires for several hundred feet, cutting off communication between Buffalo and East Aurora, Twice holder of the transcontinental speed record and of innumerable * other speed records, Capt. Hawks ended what he considered the hazardous phase. of his career with this statement in April, 19317: “I've had my day. I've passed the 40-year mark and I'm going to get some enjoyment out of life and devote my time to the manufacturing and business end of the airplane industry.”

proposals would require a 1939 levy

of $256, an increase of $1.15, for Center Township (outside). The levies proposed for Center (outside) are: Relief, 51 cents; special school, 41 cents (down 5 cents), and tuition, 88 cents; a total of $1.80. The 1938 levies for the township (outside) were: Relief and relief bonds, 31 cents, and special school, 46 cents, a total of 77 cents. The proposed township budget for special school purposes calls for $15,914, with $46,000 for the tuition fund. Delinquencies Provide Cash ° In addition, $28,310 .is - requested for the township fund, used for the trustee’s office operating expenses. However, no levy for the township fund is necessary for 1939, and none has been necessary since 1934, Miss Noone explained, because enough money has been obtained through collection of delinquent taxes. The. proposed 41-cent special school levy would raise $11,667.32, the additional sums being obtained from balances, State aid and miscellaneous revenue. Of the $46,000 requested for the tuition fund,-only $36,659.02 is to be raised by property tax. ’ Miss Noone’ explained “that no tuition levy has been required in the last ‘several years because in 1934, the township was given a court judgment ,of $115,000 against the City of Indianapolis in payment for a township school in territory annexed by the City. That sum now is exhausted and; starting next year, the fund must raised by property tax. The proposed 51-cent relief levy, 20 cents higher than the 1938 levy, is based. on raising the township's entire relief neetis by property tax. However, it has been the practice of the County Tax Adjustment Board to reduce the levy and provide for raising a part of the relief needs by issuing bonds. Leo X. Smith, Township attorney, explained that the actual sum. requested for relief purposes next year is slightly less than was budgeted for this year. “We expect an even greater cooperation from WPA next year,” he said, “and if this materializes, WPA projects may lighten the direct relief load.” Mr. Smith said that in the last 15 years an effort has been made to give more adequate aid to those needing it. “While the present standards of relief are not completely adequate,” he said, resent a more humane approach to the problem than before. . “When Miss Noone took office eight years ago, no relief rent was paid, very little clothing was furnished and the system inherited by her gave scant heed to the needs of indigents. There were no trained supervisors, no Federal co-operation and the service was not uniform. All of that is now provided.” At present, he said, weekly grocery orders granted indigents range from $1.45 for a single person, and $2.10 for families of two, to $6.85 for families of 16. In addition, bread is given each family, milk is provided for children of 6 and under, and other aid is given. In the 12 months ended in April, those on Center Township relief rolls received Federal surplus com-

modities valued at $144,200, he said.

“Also, we have to comply with the letter of the law in providing aged persons and children with a decent standard of living, or the Federal Government will not reimburse us for their statutory share of the cost.” Councilman Cortez Blue, who voiced the Council's warning to “put on the brakes,” said a movement should be started: to change the State welfare laws to make possible “some contol of these increasing expenditures before they get out of hand.” -- Councilmen declined to indicate what cuts they intend.to make in the proposed budget until after the public hearing. Officials of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association have urged that taxpayers attend: the hearing and demand reductions. County Commissioners were to be questioned by the Council on the. 2cent levy sought for a gravel road repair fund, the legality of which has been questioned. City Counciimen last ‘night indicated that when they finish their preliminary study, they will go over

substantial reductions. The Police Department budget of $1.337,768.63 and the Municipal Airport proposal of $27,516 were passed tentatively without reduction. Chief Morrissey’s request for $2500 for employment of a traffic engineer was. protested by Councilman William A. Oren, Republican. “In view of the safety record made during the last few months.” Mr. Oren said, “I see no need for a traffic expert. The men you now have in charge of traffic work are handling the situation well.” Chief Morrissey explained he considered a traffic engineer “essential” to the Police safety campaign.

Rae, scientific investigator, and $24,300 for 18,000 gallons of yellow paint for street marking. Only 10,000 gallons was allowed in the 1938 budget, Chief Morrissey said.

Wants Jail Cook Chief Morrissey asked the Council to approve an item of $3500 for hiring a cook and purchase of food and equipping a kitchen at police headquarters.
