I risked everything Jumper ssslstant, and Browne him self found a hazardous descent by parachute, hitting the water only a few seconds after their 'chutea opened, the plane tore Itself apart. "It rained plane all around us as we dropped," Browne said. "When the wing tore off, we were left sit ting almost In the open air." A newspaper photographer In a nearby plane described the wrecking of the plane as similar to "throwing a handful of confetti." The refueling hose, dangling from a plane piloted by Frank Whaley. was weighted on the end with 60 pounds of metal to keep it steadier In the air In the maneuvering about. Just west of the northern city limits over the waters of the sound, Browne and members of the refueling plane agreed, the metal weight fouled the stabilizer of the "Lone Star." "Then ' the plane -dove," Browne said. "I opened the throttle wide In an effort to pull her out of It. "The wings crumpled. The plane came to pieces. "I made no effort to Jump. I didn't need to. I was thrown clear of the cockpit about 800 feet above the water and my parachute opened. I hit the water with terrific force." FAVORITISIV! ROILS C. OF t (Continued ttvm rag One) well m millions of othen, have list end to the 'Greyhound national ra dio program over the Columbia net work, on April 8, describing the scen ery and points of Interest that may be seen In traveling over the Red woods highway." Considerable surprise was expressed by chamber of commerce officials that the Greyhound Stages should thus discriminate against the Pa cific highway In routing Its travel, and W. 8. Bolger, chamber presi dent, stated that the matter would he brought before the board of di rectors at their regular meeting this evening. Discrimination Seen "It la apparent," mid Mr. Bolger. "that the officials of the Greyhound company do not realize the extent of the damage which can be done to Pacific highway travel by the Inaugu ration of discriminatory practices against the Pacific highway, and we sincerely hope that we may be able to point out to them that serious consequences of their action may be expected." The Greyhound Stages operate pas senger buiaes over both the Pacific and Redwoods highways, and their action may have been a result of decreases in travel over the latter route, and was undoubtedly prompt ed by a desire to carry a more nearly full load of traffic over the Red woods route. Routing practices whlrh tend to divert travel from the Red woods highway will be vigorously op posed by communities along the for mer route, according to Information received this morning by the local chamber from the various chmbxi of commerce between Grants Pass and San Francisco.
