Geddlngs car, crushing Mr. Ged
dings against it. The boy, who
, was standing nearby was also
struck but he suffered only bruises
and lacerations. He was taken to
the Eugene hospital.
Persons who remained in the
Geddings car while the tire was
being repaired were uninjured.
They were Mrs. Anna Geddings,
wife of the man who was killed;
Mrs. Bill Kirby, mother of Mrs.
Geddings; Lottie Ann Geddings
and Joe Allen Geddings, young
children of the couple, and H. E.
Ownby, all of North Carolina.
They said they were on their way
to the berry fields of the Wil
lamette valley, seeking work.
The state police and the cor
oner's office are making thorough
investigation of the accident.
Coroner Charles P. Poole said
Tuesday that Mr. Koon told the
officers rain and mud on the
windshield prevented him from
seeing the man working with the
tire. Investigation revealed that
the boy who was injured was
standing on the running board of
the car and that he was thrown
through a window by the impact.

who was killed in an accident on
the Willamette highway Monday
evening, was born May 31, 1914,

in danger of being "bumped off"
by Nazi agents.
Photographs of the swift Mes
serschmitt fighting plane in which
Hess flew from Augsburg, Ger
many, showed the tail was punc
tured by machine-gun bullets
apparently inflicted ' either by
German or British pursuers.
The plane, which crashed as
Hess dropped to safety with a
broken ankle, was wrecked, the
engine half-buried in the ground.
British officials said that Hess,
lying in a Glasgow hospital, had
been "positively identified" by
Ivone Kirkpatrick, former British
charge d'affairs in Berlin, and that
he had been examined by doctors
and found sane.
In Berlin, commenting on the
war's strangest episode, a Nazi
spokesman rejected stories that
Hess fled to save his life from a
possible impending "blood purge,"
declaring:
"He was not troubled by any
notion the Gestapo or anyone else
was pursuing him. Nothing like a
purge of the party or government
either was feared by Hess or is
in the offing."
In Washington, diplomatic cir
cles said if Hess' good faith were
established, the British would
gain a wealth or highly rename
information on Hitler's war
schemes particularly since Hess
was a member ol tne ruenrer
secret war council.
Incident Tragic to Hess Family
Capital circles interpreted the
German announcement hinting
broadly at insanity as an attempt
to discredit any information Hess
might give.
declared only that 'the incident
A German spokesman, however,
was extremely tragic to Hess and
his family personally and will
not have the slightest influence
on German military or foreign
nolitical policy."
Hess left a wife and child In
Germany in setting off on his
fantastic venture, just hix days
after he sat side by side with
Hitler at a meeting of the Ger
man reichstag.
Berlin quarters said Hess suf
fered "hallucinations" as a result
of a long-standing stomach disor
der, affliction of the nerves and
consequent sleeplessness.

MAYOR PLEASED
"That's good news," exclaimed
Mayor Elisha Large as he was
notified of the recommendation.
"I've been expecting this for
some time. Of course we can't do
anything about it until we com
plete our new airport but it's
good to know that United Air

once that is done.
The mayor expressed the opin
ion that Eugene should develop
rapidly as a commercial air cen

mail service.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 13. (P
W. R. Thigpen, United Airlines
Portland district traffic manager,
expressed confidence today the
Civil Aeronautics Board would
sanction service to Salem and Eu
gene, Ore., and Bellingham, Wash.
CAB examiners recommended
such service today but disapproved
service to Klamath Falls, Ore.
"The CAB as a rule accepts the
recommendation of its examiners,"
Thigpen said. "We feel these will
be accepted. The CAB has been
denying applications which re
quire more equipment and add
route miles, and I presume that is
the reason the Klamath Falls re
quest was denied. It has been
granting applications which do not
involve more equipment or route
miles, such as those at Eugene,
Salem and Bellingham."
He said United would be ready
to inaugurate service to Eugene
and Salem as soon as CAB's ap-
I proval is granted and the airports
are approved by the local inspec
tion board.
