LA GRANGE, Ga., Nov. 19 (U, P.).—An Army bomber crashed into a forest near here shortly before midnight, killing six of its crew of

~ seven men. The man who escaped

death in the crash was eritically hurt. :

Army officials at Maxwell Field, Ala. listed eight men on the bomber, but Lieut. John D. Madre of Mitchel Field, who was injured severely, told officials here there were but seven on the plane. The identified dead are:

Lieut. James W. Stewart, San An-

* almost beyond possible identifica-

tion. The sixth body was mangled and could not be identified immediately. Lieut. Madre was found wandering near the plane, delirious. He

said there was seven in the crew

and collapsed. The plane, flying through the storm on a flight between Mitchel Field, N. Y., and Maxwell Field,

Alabama, dived into the woods and.

cut off trees—some 14 inches in diameter—for a distance of about 250 yards before it crashed and burned. A farmer heard the crash, saw the flames and summoned a rescue party. The party reached the scene shortly before dawn, after a fourmile trudge through the forest. Deputy sheriffs found four bodies in or near the wreckage, Another fifth body, with a parachute strapped to it, was some distance from the plane. The victim apparently had made an attempt to bail out, Rescuers Delayed

Maj. W. A. Maxwell, commander of Maxwell Field, drove here by auto. He could ascribé no cause for the crash and said Lieut. Madre’s condition is so critical at

present the officer would not be questioned. |- The plane crashed utile a storm in which 1.2 inches of| rain fell within a few hours at LaGrange. It was believed by some| that the pilot was attempting tog find an emergency landing field. ' It took rescue workers several hours to reach the plane. Autos bogged in the muddy Yoadk and tied up all traffic. Wreckage was seatters over almost an acre. The plane was completely demolished and jts frame burned into a twisted mass.

Seek to Free 2 Trapped Coal Miners

SHENANDOAH, Pa., Nov. 19 (U. P.).—Weary rescue crews worked in relays today to -reach two bootleg coal miners trapped in an isolated shaft on a mountainside two miles from here. After 19 hours of labor the rescue workers reported they were within about 15 feet of the men. The miners, William Buckanavage and Michael Comminsky, both of Shenandoah, were trapped late yesterday when the weak shoring on their . makeshift shaft collapsed. Throughout . the night, in shifts of six, the rescue crews worked by the light of their carbide miners’ lamps. They finally succeeded in sinking a parallel shaft toward the base .of the five-foot tunnel in which the men were trapped. No contact had been established with the entombed men. The rescue workers said there was nothing to indicate whether the men . were smothered to death in the fall or still were alive in the small tunnel. Later, however, the rescue workers heard tapping noises at intervals of about a half hour, leading them to believe that one and perhaps both of the men were alive.

Other Demands Listed

Other points in the club’s proposal are: Cut weeds and growths by July 1 each year, instead of the present

period from June 15-Sept. 1. Repeal moratorium on county unit and gravel road bonds. Tliminate jurisdiction of the justice of the peace over highway traffic violations. _ . All motor car taxation and license fees collected by the State to be placed in the State Highway fund and to be used exclusively for road building or maintenance.

'On Traffic Rules

Times Special MONTICELLO, Nov. 19.—Improvements in highway engineering can not take the human equation

out of traffic accidents, T. A. Dicus, State Highway Commission chairman, said here last night at the dedication of a new subdistrict highway garage. He also announced a plan to secure a cross-section opinion from Indiana motorists on what changes are needed in the State’s traffic laws. Questions are to be given persons attending the Indianapolis Auto Show, and some are to be distributed later in other sections of the State. “Traffic fatalities have almost become a constant horror in the minds of most of us,” Mr. Dicus said. “Newspapers aaily carry accounts of these tragedies. Where will the fatalities strike next? “But despite all the work our engineers are doing, these engineers still can’t correct the correlation between your mind and the 80 horsepower motor you control with your feet.” Drivers will be asked whether they favor adoption of a definite highway speed limit. There is no such limit now, although motorists operating vehicles at excessive speeds are charged with reckless driving. Other questions to be asked ar®: 1. Should pedestrians be required by law to obey “stop and go” signals? 2. Should there be a compulsory inspection of motor vehicles in Indiana, and if so, should cars found (Continued on Page Three)

indianapolis Is C Is Considered Nearer Normal Than Many Cities.

An accelerated upswing in business throughout Indiana for the third straight month was reported today by the Indiana State Employment Service and the U. 8.

Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although Indianapolis has made gains of 9 per cent in employment and 4.4 per cent in payrolls, as announced by the Chamber of Commerce in its report for the Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 period, 16.0of the 22 citles|W1 surveyed by- ting 3 nt Serv-|Wi ice made gains’ these.| Gains ranging as high as 13 per cent in employment and 27 per cent in payrolls were reported by several industrial centers. Martin F. Carpenter, State Employment Service director, in explaining the smaller gains made here, said that Indianapolis already is closer to normal than many cities in Indiana. “This is due to the more diversi fied types of industry here,” he said, “Of 137 cities surveyed recently, Indianapolis is among the first 26 centers that are but 10 per cent from normal.” The survey of payrolls and employment from mid-September to mid-October was conducted among 2987 Indiana manufacturing and nonmanufacturing establishments. It covered 239,133 wage earners receiving a total weekly payroll of $5,896,444. The ilnal figures in the survey far exceeded those obtained when a preliminary tabulation was made Nov. 1.

Heavy Manufacturing Leads

An upturn in heavy manufacturing is credited with causing the gains by ‘employment officials here. The gains in manufacturing industries are considered contraseasonal and better than those shown for nonmanufacturing. Seasonal indexes for Indiana manufacturing activities show that a loss of 1.1 per cent is normal in employment from September to October. Reports from 1089 manufacturing plants averaged improvements of 1.1 per cent in employment and 83 per cent in payrolls. Durable goods industries, namely metal, lumber, clay, stone and glass plants expanded operations during the month ending Oct. 15. Employment of 128,456 wage earners in 586 plants in this group averaged 5.8 per cent above the preceding month's level. Payrolls were up 13.3 per cent. Largest contributors to this upturn were auto and _auto parts, electrical and refrigerating plants.

Stores to Add 11,000 For Holiday Rush

Nearly 11,000 extra employees will be hired by Indiana merchants to handle the Christmas shopping rush, Martin ‘F. Carpenter, Indiana State Employment Service director, said today. : A survey conducted in 115 Indiana cities and towns shows that the majority of those hired for the holiday season will be engaged as cashlers, wrappers, packers, shipping clerks, information clerks, delivery and adjustment clerks and general office workers.

(Editorial, Page Six)

BERLIN, Nov. 19 (U. P.).—The official German news:-agency, asserted today in a dispatch from New | York the “anti-German campaign is beginning to assume those hysterical proportions which only is possible in the United States.” - “William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor,” the dispach said, “demands in a hatefilled appeal that all affiliated labor unions carry on a five-year boycott of German goods with redoubled energy. - “Flzthermore a member of the Government, Attorne General Cummings again publicly supported the anti-German hate campaign comparing German measures with the persecution of Christians in earlier centuries.

Deny Jewish Executions

“The assertion of the Manchester Guardian, which already has been denied by German quarters, at over 100 Jews had been execu in German concentration camps has been extensively picked up by the press, in the course of which, however, for the sake of sensation, the figure of allegedly executed Jews was set at 200. “The German statement of fact that in connection with -antiSemitic measures in: Germany aot one Jew lost his life is not published in the American press.” (The figure as actually published in the Guardian yesterday was 200, not 100 as the Germans declared.) The - German press analyzed the recall of Ambassador Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff and flayed Americans imperialism and American Jews, blaming them for it.

Propaganda Charged

In a dispatch under a New York date, the Lokalanzeiger said that the “systematically conducted campaign of hatred (in the United States) was attaining proportions which are completely poisoning the atmosphere.” “On one hand a campaign is being conducted by the United States press which is under strong Jewish influence. Simultaneously efforts are continued to promote farreaching United States armament and their imperialistic aims toward South American states. . . . “Latin America is working in the spirit of Washington's: far-reaching plans. This makes clear that Washington’s aim in this. campaign of hatred is to attain United States hegemony on the South American market.” Meanwhile, Jehovah, the Hebrew name for God, was ordered removed from all Evangelical churches in Germany today.
