Seek Cause of
Fatal Crash of
Strafoliner
Seattle, March 31 0P Federal and
company investigators questioned ev
ery available eye witness and started
a microscopic study of broken plane
parts today In a search for cause of
wreck of Boeing Aircraft company's
stratoliner last Saturday with loss
of 10 lives.
Frederick Glass, chief examiner
for the air safety board of the civil
aeronautics authority, heard stories
of a dozen witnesses yesterday at
Alder, 70 miles south of here where
the 33-passenger plane crashed. He
planned y question others today
to lay grounawora lor a lonnai near,
lng at a still unannounced date.
"Apparently there waa an unusual
number of witnesses," Glass said.
"More than a dozen actually saw the
plane fall. I think we'll get some
thing of material benefit from their
accounts.
Meantime broken parts of both
plane wings, the altimeter, oil pres
sure gauge and some other pieces
were trucked to the Boeing plant
here for examination.
Investigators withheld observa
tlons on possible cause of the wreck.
but Thomas Hardin, vice-chairman
of the safety board, expressed be
lief pilot-failure was not a factor.
"There were enough pilots aboard
to get them out of any pilot diffi
culty," he said.
Sackef I Praises
New Legislation
As Constructive
Despite the complexity of prob
lems faced, the 40th session of the
legislature which closed last week
was conservative, careful and in the
main constructive, Sheldon Sackett,
editor and manager of the States
man, told the Klwanis club today
noon In analyzing the session.
The legislature worked out an
unique formula In connection with
the PUD problem, one of the most
controversial of the session, provided
for a reasonable consolidation plan
for school districts and balanced
the budget through potential In
comes not probably over-estimated
by the ways and means committee,
he saidi Other constructive matters
were the forest conservation and
land use plan and the new state pa
role system. No new major taxes
were enacted, old age pensions were
not increased, regulation of profes
sional classes left alone and labor
not disturbed. ....
Suggested improvements, to speed
up action were for the governor to
assume responsibility for legislation,
In this regard. Governor Charles A,
Sprague leaned backward to avoid
"must" legislation, Sackett said.
State departments should be com
pelled to have their amendments
ready on the opening day with In
terim committee reports in the
hands of legislators 30 days prior to
opening of the session. He also sug
gested a breathing spell for the go
vernor between Inauguration and
the opening of the session and bet
ter pay for legislators, pointing out
that the cost of the session, $180,000
estimated In this case, Is 90 per cent
overhead and only 10 per cent pay
roll for the 90 members.

Improvement
OfSilverton
Road Sought
Dr. P. A. Loar and John H. por
ter of Sllverton today discussed with
members of the county court and
Oscar Cutler, market road engineer
for the state highway commission,
the situation existing on the Salem
Sllverton road which the county de
sires to see Improved this year un-
der federal farm to market road
funds, provided the road is approved
by the federal bureau of roads for
allocation of such funds and auch
Improvement.
The men stated that the right-
of-way for the Improvement had all
been pledged except by two proper
ty owners and the price asked by
them is considered such as to bring
the matter to a stalemate unless
some plans can be worked out for
meeting the situation.
Commissioner Melson said that
government funds for the road
would probably run around $30,000
provided the government approves
the project; In addition there would
be additional WPA funds for road
side Improvement approximating 300
men's work for 30 days at around
$25,000 and that the county ex
penditures for equipment and other
details might reach $10,000 and he
would regret to see the road held
up by right-of-way difficulties
caused by two men.
As It now stands, the Improve
ment must have the approval of the
federal engineer, who Is expected
soon to examine tt. His assistant
was over the road with court mem
bers and other officials a few weeks
ago, but made no comment as to
whether the government would ac
cept the project or not. If It does
accept and the right-of-way diffi
culties be met, the road will be
widened and Improved In the same
manner as a part of the south river
road was improved last year.

Federal District Judge James Alger
Fee today postponed arraignment of

Czarist Flag
Hoisted Over
Ruthenia
Ungvar, Hungary, March 31 VP)
Leaders of the Carpatho-Ukraine
hope to become the guiding Influ
ence of all the 43.000,000 U Iranians
Including those In Soviet Russia,
Poland and Rumania.
They hope to do this, Ukranian
chiefs said today, with German sup
port and through the autonomous
administration promised by Hungary.
Hungary annexed Carpatho-Uk-mine
last week. The former Czecho
slovak district also la known as
Ruthenia and as sub-Carpathian
Russia.
Groups of White Russian officers
in Czarist Russian uniforms hoisted
the flag of Czarist Russia, with It
double-headed eagle on a yellow
ground, over Ungvar yesterday.
Officials said the flag had not
been made the official emblem for
the newly annexed district, but pos
ters In Russian and Hungarian de
clared "Sub-Carpathian Russia can
be expected actively to fight bol
shevism. They hope they may have
a chance to help free their oppress
ed brothers in Ukraine proper."
(London newspapers last Decem
ber reported the Grand Duke Vlad
imir, pretender to the old Russian
throne, figured In German plans for
domination of the Ukraine. The
grand duke visited Berlin December
1$ but said he did not see Adolf
Hitler. His friends ridiculed the
idea of an attempted Russian restor
ation with nazl aid.)
Ukrainian leaders said Hungary
would receive economic benefits from
the Sub-Carpathian Russians. She
will get Ruthenlan salt and timber,
which she needs, and can sell her
agricultural and manufactured pro
ducts. Jerome Frank

Bigelow Makes
German Forecast
New York, March 31 WV-Poult-ney
Bigelow predicts Adolf Hitler
will conquer Poland next and then
"dictate the peace of Europe."
The 84-year-old historian, who
returned yesterday from an annual
visit to his friend, the former Kais
er Wilhelm, said "England and
France have been bluffing" and the
Oerman fuehrer waa the only man
in Europe strong enough to enforce
peace.
"Hitler will get away with It as
long as he lives, Bigelow acid,
"even though he Is treading on the
toes of the old roosters In Ger
many. Chamberlain's Munich visit
did Hitler a world of good.''
. Scorning the possibility of an
Anglo-French-Balkan bloc stopping
Hitler, even with the aid of Soviet
Russia, Bigelow forecast the return
of monarchy to the relch with the

Counties Don't
Have to Pay
Half of Relief
The state supreme court ruled to
day that counties do not have to
pay half the cost of administering
the direct relief program.
Upholding Judges John P. Winter
and James P. Stapleton of Multno
mah county, the high court ruled In
favor of Multnomah county and
against the state relief committee.
The opinion, however, has little
weight Inasmuch as since January 1
the state has been paying all ad
ministrative costa under a 1939 law.
Before that time, counties and the
state shared the direct relief costs
equally, but since then the state pays
60 per cent and the counties 40.
The state relief committee had
contended that counties, which paid
hall of the direct relief costs, also
should pay half of the administra
tion charges.
But the high court, in its opinion
by Justice Bean, ruled that "it Is
not appropriate to require counties
to pay their expenses. It would be
Just as appropriate to require coun
ties to pay a portion of the gover
nor's salary or expenses."
The supreme court also denied
Umatilla county's petition for re-
hearing of the case In which the
county sought unsuccessfully to build
a new courthouse with delinquent
taxes. a
Other decisions today were:
First National bank of Portland,
appellant, vs. Blanche M. Wall. Ap
