Government Agents Investigating Six Fatal Airplane Accidents
Washington (UP) Govern
ment agents currently are inves
tigating six fatal air accidents,
including last month's mid-air
collision over Grand Canyon
the worst disaster in commercial
aviation history.
Snow and ice have stalled
work on one of the six a light
plane crash in Alaska. There has
been little interruption, however,
in the search by government air
safety sleuths for the cause of
the catastrophe in Arizona.
Public hearings on the Grand
Family
Council
Et After 25 years, he's run
out on me.
Tad She's driven ma as if
with lash.
Ea More than 25 years ago,
I drifted into a relationship with
a man that has continued until
very recenUy, when we had an
estrangement.
I met this man when I was a
young girl, and he courted me
as if he wanted to marry me.
We had a secret engagement that
lasted for two years without the
least impropriety. During that
time, it was religion that caused
us to keep our engagement
secret. He felt that his aging par
ents could not stand the shock of
our marriage, and we agreed to
wait indefinitely, since we loved
each other too much to separate.
Our first intimacy occurred
more than two years after the
beginning of our secret engage
ment. From that time on, we
have been as intimate 'as two
people could be, and our union
seemed so fixed that it never oc-
curred to me that any ceremony
was in point unless we intended
to set up housekeeping together,
which for one reason or another,
we found ourselves unable to
undertake.
After Ted's parents had died,
leaving us free, I found myself
obliged to make a home for a
sister who had become per
manently invalided. Thus -the
years rolled on, and now I am
50, a very difficult age, and my
man has evidently found me tire
some or unbearable and has
walked out on me. I wish I knew
of something I might do.
w
Ted There was no reason
why we could not have set up
our own home and family after
my parents died. The invalid
sister was merely a pretext for
not doing so. Eva did not want
the responsibility of a husband,
and she denied me the comfort
of a home and the satisfaction
of a family. I have left her for
only one reason because in the
past few years she has done no
thing but torture me with her in
securities. She has evidently
been going through a change of
life, and I sympathize with her.
But my sympathy does not help
me much to withstand her in
sane, jealous tantrums, her false
accusations and her demands
for attentions that she finds
odious when she receives them.
The last thing in the world I
wanted to do was to abandon
her, but she drives me away
with a lash.
The Council: The obvious has
evidently not occurred to Ted.
Eva would be much less difficult
If she were married, but she will
not nag Ted about this because
it would be another blow to her
sense of security to feel that she
forced Ted to marry her.
The only solution is for Ted to
insist and persist with a demand
that she marry him. Her deep
sense of insecurity will probably
compel her to argue unreason
ably and even nastily against
"marrying, but she will be over
ruled in the end she will be
helped greatly if Ted plays his
role strongly enough.
- A breakdown such as Eva has
been suffering is one of the usual
painful consequences of a reck
less rejection of marriage an
institution that reflects the wis
dom of the ages.
As a matter of fact, if Ted
were married, he would not find
it so difficult to deal with Eva's
behavior. For, as a married man.
he would feel freer to oppose her
unreasonableness and to talk
things out to some acceptable
conclusion whenever an argu
ment arises.

Surplus of Railroad
Freight Cars in Oregon
Salem (U.PJ Railroad cars,
annually in critical shortage this
time of year in Oregon, this year
are more than able to meet de
mands. Charles H. Heltzell, public
utilities commissioner, reported
yesterday that there actually is
a surplus of railroad cars in the
state.
He attributed the surplus to
less carloads o lumber being
loaded and cars made available
by the steel strike.
Use of synthetic detergent in
the United States rose to 15 ;

Canyon tragedy, in which 128
persons died aboard two big air
liners, will begin here today.
Wreckage Examined
The first stage of any crash in
quiry by the Civil Aeronautics
Board's Safety Investigation Bu
reau is to examine the wreck
age, if it can be found. To ex
amine the Grand Canyon wreck
age, they had to descend by
helicopter to the depths of the
great gorge.
On-the-spot inspection is only
one phase and not necessarily
the most illuminating of the
bureau's meticulous procedures
for tracking down the answer to
air casualties.
me story of the flight, as
much as can be reconstructed;
reports from the crew and pass
engers, if any survive, and eye
witnesses, if there are any;
weather records; the wrecked
plane's history of inspections and
troubles; the pilot's flying ex
perience and medical and psy
chological background (was there
anything on his mind which
might have been a distraction?)
any avenue that might pro
vide a lead to the answer.
Paint Markings Sought
In the double wreckage of the
Grand Canyon crash, investigat
ors were looking for paint mark
ings to indicate which plane hit
the other, and where, and for
everything they could learn
about the moments before the
two crossed each other in the
sky. They photographed some
fragments, pieced other to
gether. What they learned will come
to light in the board's public
hearings- on the tragedy start
ing today.
William K. Andrews, chief of
the Safety Inspection Bureau,
said his men do not go out look
ing for a person or company to
pin the blame on, but rather on
what went wrong, so the air
ways can be made safer by cor-

state highway engineer, said

Andrews himself went to the
Grand Canyon with a team of
specialists from his 83-man
squad, augmented by military,
foreign and private experts.
Findings Exchanged
The team subdivided to con
centrate on specific lines of in
quiry. Among them: the phy
sical remnants of tne planes; the
flight planning and the flight
itself; dispatch of flights from
Los Angeles and communications
afterwards.
It is regular practice to con
sult also with pilot and crew
organizations and aviation in
dustry representatives, for any
insight they may have to the
accident, and to bring all the
special inspection groups to
gether frequently to exchange
their separate findings.
Andrews said the bureau's
workload grows heavier as mod

plicated. From the standpoint
of accidents demanding atten
tion, however, he said the load
has had a "'decided decrease."
