THREE INIRED TESTING TAUTES Lieut. Comdr. Erickson in 100-Foot Fall at Philadel- phia Navy Yard. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, July 17.—Lieut. Comdr. Oscar W. Erickson, chief naval; inspector of the aircraft factory in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, was seriously injured and two other men were also hurt yesterday in a crash of a bomber while testing parachutes. The commander «ith his companions fell about 100 feet on Mustin Field in the navy yard. He suffered a possible fractured skull and a fracture of the nose. E. L. Talley, civilian inspector, suf-{ fered a wrenched back, dislocated shoulder and was burned on the legs by flaming gasoline. W. B. Stith, & naval hospital ap- prentice, received a broken arm and ‘was burned on the legs and body. The three were testing parachutes during the afternoon and were just going up with another set when the small pilot ‘chute used to open the larger parachute prematurely opened causing the larger safety device to also spread out. When the wind caught it the large parachute opened quickly and pulling like a kite, acted like an anchor on the moving plane, causing the ship to plunge to the ground. It fell about 25 feet from the edge of the Delaware River and took fire. O0CCOQUAN FUGITIVE CAPTURED IN VIRGINIA Two Who Fled Work House Alarm | Resident of Gunstan Hall Area, | Who Calls Officers.

The two men were engaged in a flight from England to Australia when their plane crashed in a bamboo clump in Southern Burma. After days of wan- | dering Hook became too {ll to continue his search for a village where they could Teceive help. Rumanian Jews Attacked.
