At 6:25 p. m.

inspector of aeronautics said:

jef control. The throttles must
have been closed before the
trash." " . . - . : ,
vr, Most observers agreed Pilot
rBohnet had suficient time to shut
of the ignition, pointing out
there bad been ho fire.
. The plane crashed within sight
' of what might have been safety.
Just down the slope in a small
-valley between the rolling hills
Was a level meadow.- Some eb
servers thought Pilot Bohnet
might have been trying to make
that spot.

And Then Plunges
- ' Iiut the plane turned end over
end, as though out of control,
then dropped to the earth as if
a magnet pulled Its shiny metal
body down. "
" Euclid Bourguignon, one of the
first on the scene, saw the crash
as he walked in the meadow near
his farm home.
"The plane shot up in the air
with the motors running, turned
end "over; end three times and
xtostd down and crashed.
: "I guess it fell about 500 feet
straight down." he said.
- i The 13 aboard must have died
Instantly. Bourguignon said he
found a faint pulse in the body
Of one girl, but knew that she
could not live." The others were
;dead. '" .
" Robert : Williams, a Washlng
" ton Pa.r taxicab driver, said he
taw the plane shortly . before it
crashed and that its engines ap
peared to be laboring.
- 'The visibility was good early
tonight, but during the day heavy
smog (smoke caught In fog)
shrouded ' the city. The tragedy
occurred In upper St. Clair town

Odd Case Argued,
State High Court
A damage case unique in the
history of the Oregon supreme
court was argued before that bady
Thursday. j
The case originally was heard
in a court of equity in Multnomah
county where Carl V. Nelson,
plaintiff, received a judgment for
17500 against Roderick E. Smith
of Santa Rosa, Calif. The action
was based on an alleged hit and
run accident near Canby.
Smith, a non-resident, returned
to California after .the accident
and avoided being served with a
summons. It later was found that
Smith had property In Portland
and-the suit was brought in an
equity court against such proper
ty. At that time Smith made his
appearance and the personal sum
mons was served.

and whether the defendant had
waived his right to a jury trial."
Equity cases do not call for a Jury,
but attorneys said this was ' the

The opinion , will be watched
closely in other states, attorneys

Legality of Crop
Insurance Viewed
WASHINGTON, March 25.-p)
Senator Schwellenbach (D-Wash)
urged congress today to ask the
supreme court for an advisory
opinion on the constitutionality of
the administration's crop insure
ance proposals.
He made the suggestion while
senate farm leaders pooled their
resources to drive through to earT
ly passage both the Insurance bill
and farm tenant legislation.
Earlier Senator Pope (D-Ida)
asserted that recent decisions . of
the court cast doubt on the con
stitutionality of his legislation to
create a $100,000,000 federal
crop insurance corporation.

Tax Reforms Are
Nearly Complete
Out of ten tax reforms proposed
at a statewide conference a num
ber of years ago, nine are now
In effect. John Car kin. member of
the state tax commission, told the
Salem Lions club at its luncheon
Thursday. The reform that has
not been adopted is elimination
of local school district levies
through consolidation.
Important advances were the
equalisation of assessments, the
income. - excise and intangibles
taxes which reach sources pre
viously untouched, and the gaso
line tax In which Oregon pio
neered. The property levy In Oregon
reaches about 40 . million dollars
annually but at present less than
a million of this is general tax
tor state purposes. Delinquency
of around 43 millions is a serious
problem. Of the property tax dol
lar. 41 cents go for schools, not
including the higher education
system; 17 cents to the counties.
S cents for roads and S cents for
state government -including high
er education, Carkin declared.
The speaker highly-praised the
work of the ways and means com
mittee at the last legislative ses
sion, saying it had appropriated
amounts which would support all
state activities but leave no lee
way for needless expenditure, and
had balanced the budget without
Invoking new taxes.
