Air Corps officials frankly were baffled by the bomber’s sudden plunge to earth yesterday shortly after taking off on a practice flight. Some doubted that the cause ever ‘would be determined. Pilot of the plane was 25-year-old Lieut. Homer Mackay, Lansing, Mich., who received his commission in the Army Air Corps only a week ago after graduating from the Kelly Field training school in Texas. Eye-witnesses to the crash could not agree on details, the accident occurred so quickly. But Lieut. H. M.

Only Metal Parts Left

As soon as the burning wreckage had cooled, the inquiry board began examining the debris. Flames consumed all but the metal parts which were twisted by the crash and fused by the extreme heat of the fire. Members of the board -who will report to Army headquarters in Washington after their investigation dre Major Clarence B. Lober, Capt. William H. McArthur and Lieut. Nicholas E. Powell, all attached to Langley Field. The plane was a standard Douglas bomber of the type known as B-18A —one of 200 of its type purchased by the Army two years ago. It was powered by two Wright Cyclone engines and was capable of a speed of 225 miles per hour.

Stiff Climb, Witness Says

When it took off at 1:28 p. m., yesterday for a routine practice flight, it appeared to be functioning perfectly. A minute later it had crashed. : One Army officer gave the following account of the accident: : “The plane took off in an unusually stiff climb and held this position for about 150 feet, then stalled, the motors still running— they could be plainly heard from the ground. “The plane fell off on its left wing. It plummeted to the earth, the nose and left wing hitting the ground almost simultaneously. It did not look like a normal take-off —it seemed the plane was stalling all the time. I watched, horrified, because I believed the plane was going to fall.” : Others killed © besides Pilot ackay were Lieut. Thomas L. Butner,, Burnsville, N. C.; Sergt.

them to consult without delay an expert on mental diseases.” : Last night, just before Mr. McNutt’s speech, the third term demand reached a high point when Senator Josh Lee (Okla.), amid roaring applause, declared: : “It is not for Roosevelt to tell us that he wants a third term, but it is rather for us to tell Roosevelt that we want a third term.”

McNutt Candidacy Pushed

Mr. McNutt’s picture, as a candidate for the 1940 nomination, hangs on the walls of downtown hotels and Hoosier delegates are urging Young Democrats from other states to form “McNutt for President” clubs in their home towns.

But Mr. McNutt has said that he will not be a candidate if Mr. Roosevelt seeks renomination, and his speech last night made no direct mention of his candidacy. Mr. McNutt in his address once again aligned himself definitely with the New Deal element of the Democratic Party as opposed to the more conservative element headed by Vice President John N. Garner, . His oniy reference to the so-called conservative element in the Democratic Party was to warn that “we liberals must be on guard” to keep “reaction” from sweeping away the improvements made by the Roosevelt Administration. “We have ‘been moving forward under the leadership of a courageous President, who ‘is recognized throughout the world as the greatest living exemplar of liberalism,” .he told the Young Democrats.

Praises Administration

_ “During his Administration, social legislation has made greater strides than during any other administration in our history. If President Roosevelt had accomplished nothing more than establishing this program, his administration would go down in history as one of the landmarks of progress. “Along that broad course we are going to continue,” he said. He explained that there is seldom full-agreement among liberals because each man does his own thinking, but that most all liberals of today were agreed on the need for vigilant protection of civil liberties, remedy of abuses such as destruction of natural resources and retention of the system of private

. |ownership, making our economic

machine turn out the abundant production of which it is capable, and retention and expansion of the Social Security program. “The people - will never resign themselves to permanent unemployment,” he said. “They know that the United States has the resources to assure a decent life for everyone who is willing to work.” : Homer Mat Adams, 28, assistant state finance director of Illinois, was elected president of the Young Democrats without opposition “today.

Hoover Charges Barkley

Got Data From ‘Liars.’

PALO ALTO, Cal, Aug. 12 (U. P.). —Former President Herbert Hoover charged today that Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky.) had ‘been “grievously misinformed” in compiling data for a statement which said Mr. Hoover's Administration boosted the national debt hy six billion dollars yet failed to leave a single public work to warrant the expenditures. His statement was aimed at an address made by Senator Barkley before the national convention of Young Democrats in Pittsburgh. He said Senator Barkley, ardent New Dealer and Senate pilot for President Roosevelt's legislative program, had been given misinformation “by the liars’ research bureau” in certain data cited in the speech. Senator Barkley, in defendihg past and present New Deal spending, ha said much of the Roosevelt public debt increase would be repaid, and titat the net increase since 1932 would not be more than six billion dollars which, he said, was an amount similar to that spent by the Hoover Administration.

“Senator Barkley further declared |} “there is not a court house, side-|

walk, street or water works from Hyde Park to Palo Alto to show for that six billions.” \ Mr. Hoover said that the public debt when he took office was $17,000,000,000 and when he went out of office $20,800,000,000. Of the $3,400,000,000 increase, Mr. Hoover said that about $2,400,000,000 was in recoverable loans and had been largely repaid. ? He said therefore that the net increase in the debt had been “a little over a billion dollars as compared -to about. $20,600,000,000 in«

NYE ASKS 6. 0.P. AVOID REACTION

‘Get Over Cock-Sureness And Ultra-Conservatism, He Urges Party.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (U. P). —Senator Gerald P, Nye (R. N. D.) said today that if the Republican Party expects to elect a President in 1940, “it’s got to get over its cocksureness” and exhibit a desire to “improve and maintain some of the advances established under the New Deal.” Sendator Nye, & member of the Senate progressive bloc, made the statement in an interview after studying President Roosevelt’s- an= nouncement that if the Democratic Party nominated “conservative ‘or lip-service candidates,” he would take no active part in “such an unfortunate suicide.” The country, Senator Nye said, is not ready for “the type of candidate or leadership that would adopt a donothing policy or a policy of destroying legislation that has as its purpose improvement of our social welfare.”

Predicts Late Candidate

Senator Nye said that he was “playing a hunch that the Republican candidate-to-be has not yet entered the picture.” “It will not be too late if he doesn’t make an appearance until next winter,” he said. Senator Nye refused to discuss personalities, but told ‘reporters: “I ‘certainly do not think we: can win with an ultra-conservative candidate." He predicted that neutrality will be the chief issue of the next campaign, and said: “If the Republican Party knows what is good for it, it will make much of the present Democratic leadership’s efforts to nose into foreign squabbles. A “Issue on Silver Platter” “We ought to write a ticket that can be accepted as assurance of Republican determination to avoid involvement in other people’s wars. The people don’t want war and big business, so called, doesn’t want war. “The present Administration has given our party this outstanding issue and challenge on a silver platter. The party ought to accept it without hesitation.” ! Senator Nye said that “while it is doubtless true that the people are quite ready and eager for a change it definitely does not follow that they ‘are ready for the type of candidate or leadership that would adopt a do-nothing policy.”

Burke Statement

Called ‘Sour Grapes’

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12 (U. P.).— Democratic leaders attending the Young Democrats national convention were inclined today to belittle the prediction of Senator Edward R. Burke (D. Neb.) that President

Roosevelt will head a third party

ticket in 1940 to oppose a coalition of conservative Republicans and Democrats. ; In his statement issued at Omaha, Senator Burke said the coalition candidate : should be someone like Robert A. Taft (R. O.). While withholding official comment, several prominent Democrats indicated they believed it was a “case of sour grapes” on Senator Burke’s part. :

Speaking at the miners picnie sponsored by the United Mine Work ers of America, Mr. Townsend recommended that laboring people hold “political schools” to prepare for next year’s campaign.

Urges ‘Political Schooling’

“I would suggest in all earneste ness,” he said, “that the labor unions hold political schools and invite union members, their friends and their families to attend. At these schools, I would suggest you caree fully study the records of men now representing you in office. Have they served you well? Have they listened to the voice of democracy? “I would suggest that you: begin now to think of outstanding men and women who could be persuaded to enter public life and carry on the fight for liberalism. It will be no mere political sham battle between two parties next year. It will be a bitter fight in both the primaries and the elections between progress and retreat. Those ‘who believe ‘in progress must do their part as never before to nominate and elect men and women who will be faithful to the people.”

Describes Changing Scene

The Governor recalled that “there has been an alarming change in the temper of legislative bodies. Ate tempts were made to weaken and even repeal security and welfare legislation. Workers, farmers and

of attacks obviously inspired by reactionary interests. “Certain Congressmen and Legis lators thought they no longer had to fear the will of the people and they started our nation on the road back, The spirit of Benedict Arnold ‘is poisoning our democracy. The most reactionary Congressmen and state Legislators on election day last fall promised the underprivileged and working class everything but the moon. They promised more and better labor laws. They promised more money for WPA. They promised larger old-age pensions. These were sacred promises they violated. I am sick at heart over the betrayal of the common people.”

ACTORS LET AF. L. POSTPONE DECISION

NEW YORK, Aug. 12 (U. P.).— With nothing settled after two days of bickering at Atlantic City over union jurisdiction, actors, stagee hands and A. F. of L. executives came here today under a week-end truce. The A. F. of L. executive council, which is trying to decide whether

stagehands have a right to take ace tors into their union, which they have done and which the actors’ union says they can’t get away with, will take part today in the Stat® Federation of Labor’s big parade. Movie actors—Ralph Morgan, Mischa Auer, Edward Arnold, Jean Muir, Binnie Barnes, Wayne Mor-

by airplane from Hollywood to complain against the stagehands—will return the same way tonight for an actors’ mass meeting tomorrow. Mr. Morgan, president’ of the Screen Actors’ Guild, said the actors ‘had been more than genereus in letting the A. F. of L. council withhold its verdict until next week, because the dispute had “vital and terrific implications” affecting 30,000 actors, and he had planned to announce the decision to the Hollywood mass meeting, which could have taken a strike vote on the spot had their side lost. ‘
