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."

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."

work, on April 8, describing the scen

be seen In traveling over the Red

Considerable surprise was expressed
by chamber of commerce officials
that the Greyhound Stages should

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.
