Deputy Sheriff Tony Maio surveys the battered coupe in which two persons escaped serious injury yesterday when it skidded, struck a culvert and landed in a 15-foot ditch in the 5300 block S.

fact that he was gravely injured in a plane crash. Not once did he give sign that he recognized in me the pilot of the plane. The best I could do was to help him sit up when he woke to action and persuade him to rest and relax when I saw his condition was critical, I remained almost constantly with him through the night and the first morning. About noon, I set off on a first and futile search of the neighborhood. When I returned late in the afternoon, Sir ‘Frederick was dead. - Very shortly after taking off and heading out to sea, I discovered that it would be necessary for us to return. My first act was to jettison our main fuel cargo, and I informed my three companions in the rear compartments of the plane of my intention to returm. I asked them to throw overboard all the baggage and every item they could find that would reduce our weight for the possibly powerless return flight to land. It was dark and snowing. By the time I had reached what I was certain to be land, I instructed Snailham, who was in the radio compartment immediately behind me, to order the others to bail out, Snailham and I had been working together for some time, and I knew he was thoroughly familiar with the situation and how to meet it. ‘t never occurred to me to think

{ that they would not bail out. I

felt what I thought to be a definite change of balance in the ship, and assumed that they had gone. I then devoted my attention to making the best possible landing entirely by instrument, as of course I was unable to see the ground at any time. I gambled that as half of the surface of Newfoundland was frozen lake I might have the luck to strike one of them. ”

Wing Strikes Tree

In actual fact, my wing struck the one large tree in that whele area of Newfoundland. I came within a few feet of making a safe landing. I do not recollect anyhing whatever of the crash.

My first memory is feeling about my head. I woke to consciousness as you wake from sleep, wide awake, and I found that I had already tied my handkerchief around my head, which was bleeding profusely.

I then looked at my watch and realized it had been one hour since my last wholly conscious moment. All the cabin lights were still burning brightly. I sat in my seat for several minutes trying to collect my thoughts. A pleased feeling crept over me momentarily as the realization that I

dead and presumably killed on impact. I returned to Sir Frederick and explored his injuries. They were severe, I got him into a sitting position, though it was difficult for me to move him because of my own damages, and I talked to him and finally roused him to semiconsciousness after about 15 minutes. »

Improvises Sling

He was able to help me move him from the cabin floor into the bunk in the cabin, where I covered him with several folds of a silk parachute. I had no knife, but by tearing another parachute, by snagging it on a broken projection of the wrecked interior of the plane, I got enough silk to make a sling for his broken arm and a new bandage for my head. I tried to inquire from Sir Frederick why they had not jumped, but at no time during the ensuing hours was I able to establish contact with Sir Frederick with regard to what had occurred. From the very outset, he struggled to set down or dictate technical and medical matters. I could not recall him to himself or our plight. I made various excursions outside to look over the ground. It was cold. There was five feet of snow on the ground. We had struck a tree—the largest tree in sight on that desolate area, as I saw later—and by only a few feet I had missed a landing on a snowcovered lake that might have turned out differently. I turned off the lights in the plane, all save one, and devoted myself to attending to Sir Frederick, since there was nothing else to do. Knowing by the nature of his injuries that he was in a critical state, even if help came with the morning, I tried to make him lie down and rest. But after a few minutes of rest, he would insist on rising to a sitting position again and commence once more his dictation. His entire bearing and attitude was military, He seemed to feel he was carrying on at a post of duty. During every semi-con-scious period, his speech was thoroughly coherent, but on medical problems beyond my comprehension. At times, I went through the motions of writing down his words in order to quiet him. When morning came, I went outside the plane and tried to figure what chances there were of our being spotted from the air, for I knew there would be planes searching for us. But it had been snowing and as we had crashed against the edge of the lake, our wreckage might not show up amidst the rocks and the bush,

snowshoes, I grew terribly weary after a little while. I began to see mirages. I thought I could see houses. I even imagined I could see windows. But when I reached them, they were merely snow-covered trees and rocks. it was in this wandering that I made a most important decision, which shows how in extremity the mind will craftily function even though we have little reason to expect anything of it. I was frequently falling down and it would be several minutes or even longer before I could summon energy or even will enough to get up. I came to what T believed was a river. I had to decide which way to go, to | the right or to the left. The wind was blowing strong- | ly. So somehow, in that great confusion and mental fog, I worked it out this way. If I went with the wind, it would be easier, But if I went against the | wind, it would be easier to come back.

* un

Goes Into Wind

I chose to go into the wind. I sincerely believed that if I had not gone into the wind, I would not be here today to tell this story, for after following the river

bed some way, and coming to the realization that I could not go farther, and that I had to get back to the plane, so long and grim was the struggle that I gave up completely half a dozen times. Slowly, my energy would creep back and rouse me to one more try. I set myself little tasks. I did not think of the plane. That seemed miles away. I set myself merely that next hillock, that next rock or bush. When I made that stage, I fell down and waited to see if my heart would come back. Then I would set myself a new goal. I learned, that first afternoon, my folly but I also learned about making a plan. I made a hundred little plans that day, in order to get back to the plane. It helped me, the following day, to make a big plan. The two miles I traveled that first afternoon took from shortly before noon until dusk. When I reached the plane, I found Sir Frederick dead. By some immense effort, he had got himself off the bunk in the wrecked cabin and had got outside, He lay 15 feet from the wreck. I was at this hour completely exhausted. My ankle had been sprained in the crash and it had swollen almost to the knee during my travels. Every stage of the journey had been agony, and I had done the last 500 yards, back tracking on my own trail, on my hands and knees through the deep drifts, to spare my leg. With an engine cover of canvas under me and two overcoats over me, I tried to sleep in the snow

Mr. Frank said: “I cannot think of any greater calamity that could befall any church than that it could live in ease in days like these.” The convention, one of 12 called throughout the U.

The Rev. Mr. Frank urged his listeners to question themselves as to whether they had contributed to the tragic condition of the world through their way of living or bv what they had failed to do. He urged that each combat the present conditions by “strengthening every bond of brotherhood and facing the world with the firm conviction that righteousness would triumph.” Dr. C. O.

Appropriate to the Treasury (as Britain has) for the period of the deferise emergency all individual net incomes over a certain amount. He denounced President Roosevelt and Congress for not hav-

CLAIM ‘GONFESSION’ IN ENVOYS SLAYING

VICHY, France, March 24 (U. P.). —Information has reached Vichy from Germany that Herschel Grynszpan, Jewish youth who shot and killed Ernst von Rath, German embassy searetary at Paris, has made “a complete confession” after

sion over which Heinrich Himmler, chief of the German Gestapo, pre-

sided.

Grynszpan had been surrendered

to Germany after he had been released from prison in Paris on the approach of the German armies last spring and had surrendered himself at Toulouse.

According to information re-

ceived here, Grynszpan was questioned for more than two months in Berlin and “confessed” that he had

(been the “tool of a Jewish-Masonic |plot” in which the French League of the Rights of Man and other anti-

Fascist and some Jewish organiza-

tions had a hand. It was reported the Germans were planning a big trial after the war in which they would attempt to prove that there had been a Jewish plot to kill many prominent Nazis. According to the reports, the name of Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York City was mentioned in the Berlin investigation.

I climbed from my seat to go back into the cabin. This was my first look backwards into the ship. And to my utter amazement and horror, a body was visible, lying between the main eabin and the radio cabin. Having given orders for them to jump by parachute and having imagined I felt a change of balance in the ship, I was certain I was alone in tHe final stages of the flight. I found that the body was that of Snailham. He was dead and had obviously been killed on impact. I went on back in the cabin, dreading what I might find. And I found Sir Fred+ erick still alive but unconscious, with a severe head wound, his left arm broken and other injuries. I went on to the back of the cabin and found Flying Officer Bird also

cided that Sir Frederick's condition was such that he could not survive if he did not have immediate medical attention. He had by this time become completely unconscious. I had no proper plan in mind. I was weak from shock and my injuries, but I thought I might explore the immediate neighborhood. I covered Sir Frederick well with coats, two of which had not been thrown overboard, and then I started out. After going only about 20 yards, I realized it would be hopeless for me to try to go anywhere in the five-foot-deep snow. The woods were thicketed and dense and full of little gullies. I had to stay in the open spaces. The strongest of men could not wade through five-foot snow. I returned to the ship, took the map board and broke it in half by banging it on a rock. With friction tape, I rigged up a plausible imitation of snowshoes out of these two 18-inth square pieces of plywood and bound them to my feet. I may say I wore out two of these sets of snowshoes in the next day or two.

The first exploration trip might

My spirits were very low. I never expect them to be lower. The whole scheme of life had become so aimless. Here was a great enterprise in ruin in the midst of an immeasurable wilderness. Here lay dead a great man, a man I did not know, but a man of importance in the world. He had been the only other living thing, speaking to me in riddles. Now he was still. And I was in this hole in the snow, beside the wreckage. And what I needed was some plan; or the whole enterprise was lost here in the remote silent wilderness.

COAL DISCUSSIONS | IN CRITICAL STAGE

NEW YORK, March 24 (U. P.).— Wage-hour negotiations for the Appalachian soft coal industry entered the critical stage today with only a week to go before 70 per cent of the nation’s bituminous supply is cut off automatically. A new twoyear contract must be reached before midnight, March 31, to avoid this possibility. Negotiators representing 338,000 miners and 21 operators’ associations in the eight-state area got “down to the bedrock of wage discussions” after nearly two weeks devoted to minor phases of the contract, Increased industrial demand for soft coal, due largely to the national defense program and in part to stocking against possibility of an Appalachian shutdown, supplied pressure on negotiators to reach an agreement this week.
