First Time He Used Parachute in Eleven Years of Flying. By the Assoclated Press. BROOKVILLE, Pa., November 19.— The “Caterpillar Club,” composed of aviators who have cheated death by Jeaping from their airplanes in para- chutes, had a new member today. He is Paul F. “Dog” Collins, air ma'fl pilot on the National Transport Co.'s Cleveland-to-New York line, who leaped 4,000 feet to safety when his Douglas biplane became disabled while bucking a “line squall” over a mountainous sec- tion of Northwest Pennsylvania about 6 a.m. yesterday. Collins had climbed almost & mllg into the skies in an attempt to “top” the criss-cross winds of gale proportion that accompany a “line quall” when a lower wing was ripped from the plane, send- ing it into a nose dive. He then flipped open the catch of his safety belt, grabbed the strut of the remaining wing and swung out of his careening plane. ‘The parachute swayed perilously in the storm and then after what seemed like hours, Collins said, it floated to cacth in a small clearing in the midst of the densely wooded country near Millstone. Nearly a mile away, with its nose burrowed into the ground, the ship was found, with the 800 pounds of mail intact. Before deserting the plane Col- lins had shut off the motor to prevent an explosion when it landed. A short distance down the highway 20 Collins roused a gas company employe, who helped him salvage the aluminum mail bag from the wreckage. A truck was engaged and the mail was brought to Brookville. Coliins left Cleveland about 4 am., in the face of adverse weather conditions. He said that he encountered rough weather but did not experience any particular difficulty until he reached Clarion, Pa., when he flew headon into the “line squall,” which has spelled disaster for many other crafts including the dirigible Shenandoah, which crashed in Eastern Ohio three years ago. Collins has been a pilot for 11 years, but yesterday was the first time that he has been forced to use his parachute. Eight Cleveland-New York air mail pilots have met death in that section, the last one being “Wild Bill” Hopson, who was killed when his burning plane crashed on a hilltop near Polk, Pa. ‘The bag of mail was shipped to New York by train last night.
