NIN G STAR, WASHINGT( N, D @, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1¢ * THREE DIF AS CRASH ENDS AIR “J0Y-RIDE' Movie Colony Members Took Plane Over Protest of Field Watchman. By the Associated Pres LOS ANGELES, April 29 —Three young men who went out for an early morning acrial joy-ride crashed to carth and died in the blazing wreck of their airplane in an oat field near Culver City yesterday. Their bodics were burned beyond recognition. liam H. Oviatt, jr. pilot of the plane; Ray Scott, tion picture scenario writer, and Mack Fluker, 25, screen actor, were the vic- tims. Oviatt was the son of a Falmouth, Mass., theatrical producer and nephew of Charlie Murray, motion picture ac- | tor. All had been living in Hollywood. he three took off from Rogers Air- | port “to take a spin according to Thomas Loftus, the watchman. “I didn’t want to let them have the plane, but Oviatt insisted,” said Lof- tus. “They borrowed goggles, wheeled the plane out onto the runway and flew away in the fog.” About an hour later a group of Jap- anese gardeners heard a plane in the fog overhead. They said the plane suddenly roared out of the mist, its motor sputtering and its occupants shouting and laughing. The Japan believed the plane had come down in a spin with the motor off. At a low altitude, Oviatt apparently leveled it and gave it full throttle. One of the occupants was scen to lean out of a cockpit and wave. Then the plane crashed. Flames immediately enveloped the wreckage. It was several hours before the charred bodies of the men could be removed. Police identified them by piecing together charred cards found near the plane and by tracing an expensive roadster in which the trio had ridden to the airport. The car be- longed to Scott's father. Scott, who leaves his parents, Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Scott; his widow, Mrs. Sim- mone Ccott, and a 3-year-old daughter, was warned two weeks ago not to fly in Oviatt’s plane, his mother said. Mrs, E. W. Scott declared that a clairvoyant two weeks ago had told Mrs. Simmone Scott that her husband would meet death in Oviatt’s plane. Police reported that Oviatt did not hold & transport pilot’s license, and his plane was not licensed. His aunt, Mrs. | Charlie Murray, said he flew the plane here from Falmouth last September, and had planned to fly back home in the next two weeks. He became ac- quainted with Scott and Fluker in the film cciony. Scott was born in St. Louis, spent his boyhood in Chicago and came to Holly- wood when he was 17 to enter pictures. He was well known in film circies, hav- ing acted before the camera and worked as a “gag” man, before taking up scenario writing. Fluker was to have started work in & talking picture today, Scott’s father said. He had taken many character parts in pictures. His mother is Be- lteved to reside in New Orleans. ! { | Left to right: ) tis, representing G hop James rs. E. R.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 29.—Ten sailors rescued from a small boat in which they had drifted helplessly for nine days part of the time without food or water. after their schooner sank 250 miles off Bermuda, arrived at a Brooklyn pier last night aboard the yacht Amida. An eieventh man, the oldest in the heroic nittle band which abandoned the four- masted schooner James E. Coburn of New Bedford, Mass.,, on April 16, dicd of the hardships. J. Pere Ira, the captain of the schooner, said that soon after the vesse] set out for Bermuda his pumps began to falter. Slowly the water in the hold gained on them, he sald, until on April 16 the pumps stopped entirely, and therc was nothing to do but abandon the vessel. The 11 men pulled away from th sinking ship, taking food and water and four Bibles. They were Pere Ira, Ed- ward Rice, the mate; Edward Milliken engineer; Joseph Madeiro, supercargo and part owner; Willlam Sargent, cook Eugene Suleldo, messboy, and Josepil Delgardo, Manuel Silva, Henry Adams, R. Montero, John Brito, seamen. For eight days the boat idled slowly onward, covering about 107 miles. The food had lasted only five days and the water six. About 24 hours be- fore they were found the men, in des- peration, began to row. ‘Thursday morning at 5:20 o'clock the Amida sighted the lifeboat, and a ha!f hour later the men were picked up. Ira could hardly stand and Milliken was al- most unconscious.
