A few years later he learned about it but derided that to reopen the matter would be scarcely worth while since the only visible gain would be $100 left to him by his father and collected by his wife following his legal death. Now, however, he wants to come back to life, for his step mother, who was also his aunt, died leaving an estate of about $15,000.

(A disruption in communications caused by meterological disturb antes prevented early returns from being radioed to the U. S however.) Statehood sponsors have had bills introduced in congress in the past, including two last sessions, but no action was taken on them and the territory never has voted on the issue.

United Air Lines Identified the dead as Mrs. Margaret Flint, about SO, Cambridge. Mass., and Wll helm Wang, about 35, Sun Fran cisco, j Eight occupants suffered serious to critlcaT injuries, and nearly all the other survivors received bruises. Forty-three persons were taken to Memorial hospital in Cheyenne and the Fort Warren hospital for examination before being released. L. If. Smith of Atberton, Calif., pilot of the plane, was treated at the Fort Warren hospital for a broken nose and head injuries, and the co-pilot, Harry Buchman, of San Francisco, suffered back injuries. A former navy aviation ma chinists' mute, Allan Harmon of Charlotte, N. C;, gave the first description of the crash. He said the big plane circled Cheyenne three times and he believed one of the right engines sputtered Just a few seconds before the acci dent. Harmon said the plane was about 400 feet above the ground at the time and the right wing appeared to dip. Apparently, he said, the ship was too low' for lh4r pilot to right it, and it struck the ground with a tremendous crash. The right wing was sheared off, apparently as the plane skidded about 400 yards along the ground. Fire Chief Ralph Garrett of Chey enne i reported, and the fuselage was broken completely in two near the forward part of the plane. authority to outlaw 'a legisla- provision for reappointment has not been followed.
