SUFALTONE | N WRECKED PLANE Pilot_ Is Unable to Reqain Control After Engine Is Torn Off. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 10.—A pllot's desperate struggle to halt the headiong plunge of a tri-motored air- plane failed to prevent its crash here yesterday, in which six persons were carried to instant death. The plane, bound from Cincinnati to Atlanta, had just taken off from Lunken Airport when the propeller of its wight-side propellor came off and a moment later the engine itself tore loose and hurtled to the ground. ‘Thrown out of control, the big pas- plane at once started its death while Pilot M. T. Odell, 23, of Cincinnati frantically strove to right it. | Tries to Avert Ci ‘Witnesses sald Odell apparently at- tempted to land the plane in a corn- field at the edge of the Little Miami River, and, failing in that, tried to head for a sand bar on the opposite side of the stream. Instead, however, it emashed into a clay bank, turned over nose first, tore out the entire front end and killed all aboard. The victims were Miss Wrenna B. Hughes, 22, Fort Thomas, Ky., stenog- raphers; Willlam E. Keith, Atk by Ga., radio distributor: W. H. Brim- berry, Atlanta, Ga., clectrical dealet; V. O. Baum. 39, Memphis, Tenn,, con- tractor; Willlam J. De Wald, 32, Forty ‘Thomas, Ky., co-pilot. and Odell. Alrport officials said the accident was eaused by a broken hub on the pro- peller. When the blade came off, the motor revolved at such a terrific speed its fastening bolts were unable to hold 1t. Department of Commerce inspectors, on the scene a short time later, said they would report to Washington offi- , but agreed the broken. propeller hub was the cause. The plane had left the airport hardly one minute and was about 500 feet high when the accident occurrsd. Pilot Prevents Fire. Gasoline sprayed over the plane when ft wrecked, but Odell had shut off his motors and there was no fire. All that was saved was the battered baggage of the passengers and the mail. which was immediately _transfurred to anothe plane and sent on its way. ‘The plane was operated by the Em- bry-Riddle _division of the American Alrways. The accident was the first in the history of this division in which a passenger had “been injured in any manner. The usual inspection of the plane was made before the trip, and everything was found to be in good condition, air- port officials said. Stanley C. Hoffman, general operations manager of the line, and Frank Ware, maintenance manager, sald every precaution had been taken in preparing the plane for its take-off. Odell, they said, was considered one of the most experienced pilots in this mm country. He was born in St. Kans,, and learned to fly in A T 0] Downes, l‘n 'Thzle or t Joad. -Ald T Jond.

Status Is Unchanged. John 8. Reaves, who heads the U. S A A P.

While he was fiving the mail, before his Paris flight, he was a professional, of course, but th-re is nothing ncw to interfere with his ranking as an amiteur.” Mrs. Lindbergh is. of course, lsted As an amatur, as she has never re- ceived any money in connection with her fying. but some of her sister Ruuou are classed as professionals. ith Nichols, soclety girl, who has been a moving spirit in the Aviation Country Club movement, is considered a pro- fessionzl, for instance, because the plane in which she started to fly the ocean and in which she hopes soon to start sgain is owned by a radio com- pany.

As he observed his fifty-seventh birthday anniversary with Mrs. Hoover, he reviewed a year of ac- complishments co-mingled with disap- pointments. and turned to another period fraught with trouble clouds. ‘With the economic depression run- ning into its second year and the un- employment problem looming larger in the forthcoming Winter, the Chief Executive continues to bend his ef- | forts to alleviate both situations.
