FONGK S PLOT * IPHELDINFRANCE : Le Bourget Airport Chief and | Others Say Ship Was Overloaded. * By the Awsociated Press. PARIS, September 25.—The general ;opinfon in French aviation circles ot the fatal crash of the Sikorsky i transatlantic plane, piloted by the French ace, Capt. Rene Fonck, is {that it was overloaded and insuffi- efently tested. Concerning_ Col. H. E. Hartles's charge that Fonck was incapable of ‘handiing a plane of that size and load. Sidney Ve, general American delegate to the international Aero. nautical Federation, poinied out to- day that Fonck was employed six months ago on the basis of his record as a pilet. If he was incompetent 1o pilot a plane as large as the Sikor: isky. it seemed a little strange, Veit ‘added. that his emplovers should take a half year to discover it. Commandant Renoise, officer in charge of the great o Rourget air- port, remarked that Fonck had sue. | cessfully flown the Sikorsky plane | tn Washingten and return, which was, proof that he could handle it. 4 “In my opinion.” he said, “the ac- cident resulted from overloading. Whoever superintended the loading of ‘the machine must share with the pilot the responsibility for the acei- dent.” ULPEPER.
