SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5 (U. P.). ——Civil Aeronautics Board authorities today investigated the failure of a radio beam, which apparently led a United Airlines plane to destruction and 10 persons to instant death on jagged Bounfiful Peak in the Wasatch Mountains. Among the dead were Mrs. Lawrence Willson, formerly of Indianapolis, and Mr. Willson. There was little doubt that the failure of the north leg of the beam which guides planes into Salt Lake City from Elko, Nev. was responsible for the accident, which stopped tha big airliner’s clock at 3:34% a. m., PST, yesterday. Preliminary investigation showed that a driving snowstorm, the first of the winter, had interrupted the signal.

Beam Works Irregularly

C. V. Hall, United Airlines vicepresident, said that C. A. B. technicians had tested the beam, found it working irregularly and had warned pilots not to trust it—after Pilot Howard Fey had wandered off his course trying to reach Salt Lake City and crashed. Mr. Hall admitted that Fey probably had been led by the faulty signal into the mountains, which have become ga [veritable ‘graveyard” for commercial aviation.

to antagonize Italy by such a move if the Jugoslav General Staff considered Mussolini’s offensive in Greece were destined to attain blitzkrieg force. Jugoslavia now is looking to preserving as much of her freedom as possible and every step being taken must be based on realistic judgments. ; It has been known for some time that a large Italian army is con-| centrated near the northwestern! Jugoslav frontier, - which recently was visited by Mussolini. The Jugoslavs have interpreted this display of force as a potential threat against anti-Italian sentiments in Belgrade. The weakness of the ltalian drive into Greece now seems to have given Jugoslavia courage to face firmly Roman desires to extend Italian influence and authority across .the Adriatic into Jugoslav territory. A firm intimation from Berlin that Belgrade should not give public expression to anti-Ital-ian feelings undoubtedly would carry weight; but no such German action is apparent.

May Displease Italy

The bold stand of the Belgrade government in taking into custody 100 prominent members of the Zbor society must be very displeasing to Italy. Had similar action been taken against a distinguished group of pro-Nazis, German action would have been prompt and effective. Whether the Italians will demand an explanation and make a threatening gesture must have been taken into consideration by the Jugoslav authorities, who apparently believe Mussolini is in no position to raise a new Balkan issue at this time. With Greek resistance showing surprising power, it is not likely that Italy would want to make an immediate test of the strength of the Jugoslav defenses.

“lost division” but Athens dispatches said that the rescue planes lost their way and drSpped supplies behind the Greek lines, after which two of the planes were shot down and their crews captured. Weather Hampers Fascists

On the western front, where the Italians are seeking to take Janina and pave the way for assauit on the island of Corfu, the Rome High Command reported that crack Alpini troops had broken through the ‘iron belt” defense line established by the Greeks and reached the Vojuss (Viosa) River sector about 15 miles north of Janina. Fascists remained extremely reticent in regard to military operations, but the communique said that strong enemy resistance was overcome. Rome newspapers have repeatedly emphasized that rainy weather hampered the Italian troops and that the Greeks were well armed with British guns. British and Greek air forces were reported to have operated with great effectiveness against : the Italian columns and bases.

Report Italians Interned It was reported that three Italian officers, two sergeants and 19 soldiers were interned after crossing into Jugoslavia near the village of Vraniste. Crossing from northeastern Albania, the Italians were reported to have said that they decided to desert after having been ordered into action against Albanian rebels near the village of Kukus on the Drin River. The deserters claimed that they had not been paid for four months and that food conditions in Albania were unbearable. The toll of British shipping in the last two weeks has been rising rapidly as a result of intensified U-boat warfare and victims have included some of the well-known liners transformed into auxiliary cruisers. Italy claimed that Fascist submarines in the Atlantic had sunk 240,000 tons of shipping. The British claimed that two German submarines had been sunk since Oct. 28, "including one which sank the Canadian liner, Empress of Britain, while it was in tow after having been crippled by airplane bombs. Siege of Britain Renewed . The German-Italian aerial siege of Britain was renewed after a period of extremely unfavorable weather that almost stopped raids on London for the first time in two months, Nazi airplanes roared over southeast England in formations of 20 in attacks that Berlin described as “heavy.” The German High Command, reporting on operations in the last 24 hours, said that hits had been made on airplane hangars and factories during raids on southern England, including Coventry and Liverpool. Attacks also were reported on the Edinburg zone. “Italian submarines are working on the Atlantic Coast against British trafic with South America,” Virginio Gayda wrote in the authoritative Giornale D'Italia. Unofficial reports from Athens asserted that two Italian ships, a warship and a transport laden with troops and mules, had been sunk in a naval battle off Corfu Sunday, and that bodies were being washed ashore on the east coast of the Adriatic.

by Berlin's seeming acquiescence in Belgrade's police move against the Zbor organization. Germany has not joined the Italian war against Greece and continues friendly diplomatic relations with Athens, at the same time doing nothing openly to| allay anti-Italian movements in| Jugoslavia. .

What Does Germany Want?

Both Hitler and Mussolini certainly realize the mutual danger of allowing their relations to become cool. Yet, German and Italian interests in southeastern Europe do not naturally harmonize. Each is ambitious to have a dominent Balkan position after the war and each knows any attempt to create a Nazi-Fascist Danubian partnership could have only temporary validity. Jugoslavia seems to understand this fact and to be basing her immediate policy on it. If Greek resistance continues to be successful, the rest of the Balkans may ignore Italian influences as Jugoslavia seems to be doing. Perhaps that is

NEW YORKERS VOTE IN HUGE NUMBERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (U. P.).—New York, choosing between its country squire, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and its adopted son, Wendell L. Willkie, voted in huge numbers today. Indian summer weather brought voters to the polls in metropolitan

districts at the rate of more than].

100 an hour. Rural districts, threatened by cloudy skies, also turned out a big vote. It was estimated that approximately 40 per cent of the state's 6,960,000 registered voters had cast their ballots by noon. In New York City it was estimated about 1,500,000 of the 3,388,741 registrants had cast their ballots by noon. r No election disturbances had been reported by early afternoon, despite the overwhelming vote in such partisan New York City districts as Harlem, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
