PAGE SIX THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL, FKIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1936 MOVE INQUIRY TO PITTSBURGH Federal Probers to Seek Cause of Big Ship's Losing Beam PITTSBURGH, April 10 AP). --Federal investigators moved their hearings to Pittsburgh today to de- termine whether they can learn the cause of the airliner "Sun Racer" getting 30 miles off its radio beam course before crashing in the moun- tains near Uniontown with loss of li lives. The committee evolved a tentative theory that Pilot Otto Ferguson realized in the last few moments he was lost and at the time of the dis- aster was trying to raise his nine- ton ship over the moun- tain. The first phase of the inquiry was completed at Uniontown with the testimony of a dozen mountain resi- dents on what they discovered Tues- day after climbing Chestnut Ridge to where the big transport crumpled and burned. They told also of tne heroism ot little Nellie Granger, hostess of the plane, who struggled through the woods for miles to reach a tele- phone, after which she insisted on going back to care for the two bad- ly hurt survivors, Mrs.

Heida Ellen- stein of Newark, N. and C. C. Challinor, of Cleveland. Beady to Testify Miss Granger, who suffered great- ly from shock, was ready to leave the Uniontown hospital today and probably will testify at the hearings.

Major R. W. Schroeder, member of the inquiry board created, by Secre- tary of Commerce Roper, said the 22-year-old hostess has technical in- formation which may be helpful. South Trimble, heads the com- merce department board. Colonel H.

T. Hartner, chief investigator- for the United States senate aviation disas- ter committee and his assistant, Charles Payne, also are taking part. Hartner, in saying Ferguson ap- parently learned first intimation he was lost after a cloud bank opened to show unfamiliar terrain, asserted: "One of the technical problems to be solved by hearings in Pittsburgh will be to determine what caused him to turn south instead of north, as well as how he was so far off the beam course. "Tests made in two similar type ships showed this beam to be func- tioning perfectly." Service Criticized Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York head of 'the aviation disaster committee, said in Washington testi- mony at previous hearings was that the beam service in the Pittsburgh section was "unreliable." Copeland said a full investigation of the "Sun Racer" disaster was ordered. i commerce department fliers who checked the beams, TWA's chief pilot also made a test.

Paul E. Richter, vice president of the company, said there was no in- dication the Pittsburgh beam was imperfect. Among the first witnesses at the Uniontown hearins; were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Addis, from whose for- est home Miss Granger made the call.

Others were Dale Welier. who accompanied the hostess back to the plane: Isaac Hull and his nephew. Raymond Hixon. who saw the "Sun 'Racer" before it was wrecked. While the young hostess was pro- nounced ready to leave the hospital, the condition of the other two sur- vivors remained critical.

Doctors said, however, they had hopes the injured will recover. To Amputate Leg UNIONTOWN. April 10 (AP). --Hospital attendants said the con- dition of C. C.

CITY DAY BY DAY Associated Press Copyright WASHINGTON, April pro- posal for concert of American na- tions, pledged to mutual assistance in case of foreign aggression, is before President Roosevelt from General Jorges Ubico, president of the Re- public of Guatemala. The plan, presented for considera- tion by the ail-American peace con- ference to be held this summer at Buenos Aires, in effect would call upon all the nations of Central and America for their adherence to the Monroe Doctrine.

To preserve peace among the A i a nations themselves, the Guatemalan chief executive sug- gested a permanent court of inter- American justice, modeled generally after the World court at The Hague. President Ubico's proposals were submitted in the form of a sug- gested a covenant, included in his formal acceptance of President Roosevelt's i i a i to the confer- ence. He advocated a general treaty of "solidarity and a cooperation." It would be an organic system of inter-American legislation designed to a i a i peace; promote com- merce, advance the development of i a i and i to the a and social a of the respective countries. Such a a would be based on i a common i tal interests exist among the A i can republics. The proposed a assistance clause reads: "Considering i i or ag- gressions by any foreign power against any of them a danger to the integrity and sovereignty of the na- tions of this continent, they obligate themselves to place all i re- sources in defense of the rights of the injured party." The succeeding article would pro- claim a the "mutual cooperation i pledged constitutes in itself an association of the American re- publics, i i i powers for the a i a i i a of A i can rights and interests."

EN WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO WASHINGTON, April 10 Roosevelt traveled out of the tornado torn South today on his way to his White House desk. Returning from his annual fishing cruise in southern waters, Mr. Roose- velt stopped late last night in the devastated town of Gainesville, and expressed to the saddened folks his pride in their spirit.

Throughout the i and early today the President across flooded rivers which had spread far beyond their banks to neighboring fields and in some instances close to the level nf the tracks.

TAX LEVY CUTS BEING WEIGHED Shift Considered So as to Reduce Penalties for Big Reserve WASHINGTON, April 10 House tax experts considered de- mands of organized business today for reduction in the proposed cor- porate undistributed profits a rates--keystone of the President's $1,127,000,000 tax plan. The ways and means committee considered a proposal to shift the graduated corporate tax scale so that companies wishing to hold per cent of their earnings for re- serve purposes would not have to pay the proposed peak per cent tax on net income. Business during committee hear- ings charged the new rates, partic- ularly the peak rate, amounted to a penalty on business. Pay High Keserves The present tentative rate sched- ule would result, for example, in a corporation with net income of 000 a year, having to pay a $42,500 tax to retain $57,500 for reserves.

The rates are graduated upward from four per cent on 10 per cent retention for corporations with in- come of over $10,000. Corporations making less than $10,000 have rates running from one to 29.7 per cent. The graduated schedule was not proposed, by the treasury. Instead, the original suggestion, turned down by the tax subcommittee, was for a flat 33 1-3 per cent tax on undis- tributed earnings. The revised pro- gram is designed to yield approxi- mately $29,000,000 less than the ini- tially hoped for $620,000,000.

The committee, Chairman Robert L. Doughton said, probably will not have a final tax bill ready for house action by April 15, as had been hoped. Encounters Difficulty Difficulty was encountered in drafting a bill. Suggested changes were turned back to the subcom- mittee which will work this week- end with the legislative drafting service and joint committee on in- ternal revenue taxation. The committee Democrats--whose decisions ultimately will be those of the full group, decided on two minor revisions.

One of these would sub- ject bank dividends to the same four per cent individual income tax rate as corporation dividends. Another places foreign banks and insurance companies under the same tax rate as domestic i of the kind, so far as American income in concerned. Doughton said a despite the new problems which were develop- ing "every will be made to the bill in shape for the house by the week a next. We will work at night if necessary," he said.

Former Mine Leader Injured in Bombing WILKES-BARRE, April 10 bomb exploded at the home of Thomas Malonev. former insurgent mine union leader, at Georgetown, and injured him, his 13-year-old daughter and a young son. Police said Maloney's dazed con- dition made it impossible to get a statement from him. but they said they believed the explosive came in a package. Today was the second time Ma- loney had been the target for dynamite.

Two years ago his ga- rage in the rear of the home was bombed, but no one was injured. For several years Maloney was president of the United Anthracite Miners which opposed the United Mine Workers in many strikes.

STEEL UNION IS AIDED BY RULE Pittsburgh Finn Ordered to Reinstate 10 Men; To Appeal Ruling WASHINGTON, April 10 Touching the giant steel industry for the first time, the labor relations board ordered the Jones and Laugh- lin Steel corporation, of Pittsburgh, today to reinstate 10 employees the board said had been, discharged for union activity. The company contended the 10 were let out for inefficiency and violation of rules. The board decided they either were union officials or had been ac- tive in soliciting new members and distributing union literature. Labor men expected the order to be challenged in court At the board's hearing, the company con- tended the Wagner labor disputes act was unconstitutional.

That act set up the board. The decision described in detail the effort of the Amalgamated As- sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, an American Federation of Labor union, to get a foothold in. the company's Aliquippa, plant, The board said: "These efforts were countered by systematic terror." Officers of the union and organizers who came into Aliquippa were followed about by the private police of the respondent --the 'J. and L. "The more important union offi- cers were honored by the respond- ent with permanent shadows and were followed even into the neigh- boring town of Ambridge where they carried on their activities be- cause of the difficult situation in Aliquippa." The board reported that 10,000 of Aliquippa's 30,000 inhabitants were employed by Jones and Laughljit and that the company owns Steel Railway system, a bus the water supply system and 67? dwellings occupied by employees.

The workers, the board said, had been given an "employee representa- tion plan" in 1933, but had not been given an opportunity to vote on its adoption. The workers the board ordered re- employed with back-pay are: Mar- tin Gerstner, Harry V. Phillips, An- gelo Volpe, Angelo Razzano, Royal Boyer. Eli Bozich, Martin Dunn, George Maroll, Domenic Brandy and Ronald Cox. Plan Appeal of Ruling PITTSBURGH, April 10 (AP).

--A spokesman for Jones a Laughlin Steel corporation said to- day an appeal will be taken to the circuit court of appeals from a de- cision by the labor relations board ordering the company to reinstate 10 discharged employees. i The official added the constitu- tionality of the act creating the board will be tested. Michael F. Tighe, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, who has long sponsored the fight to unionize the steel industry, said: "We regard the labor board's de- cision as upholding our contention that there has been a violation of the principles and ethics that should govern a great industry in its rela- tions with labor. The case is now in the- hands of the government.

We will not interfere with any govern- mental functions." To Back Revercomb Howard W.
