T. Rhodes of the aircraft carrier Enterprise, acting as observer aboard the plane, was killed in the crash.

Lt. (jg) W. R. Wallis, pilot of the craft, wTas confined in Pearl Harbor naval hospital last night suffering from burns about the face. Naval authorities said he was up and around and that his condition was in no way serious.

Search Fails Although the destroyer Litchfield and two navy crash boats searched the area of the crash, two miles northwest of Barber's Point, throughout the afternoon, Rhodes' body had not been recovered up until a late hour last night. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lucille Rhodes of 2926 Palm street, San Diego, and by a brother, J. D. Rhodes of Forth Worth, Tex.

Desperate Fight A story of the pair's desperate attempts to get clear of the "flaming plane was told by the ship's pilot following his rescue by patrol bomber 25-P-8, 40 minutes after the tragedy. Following her takeoff, the observation plane from the Enterprise, engaged in a series of dive bombing attacks northwest of Barber's Point.

The soap part was all right, but the goats were running wild and the teachers' pay wasn't theirs until they caught it, Oren E. Long, superintendent of public instruction, said yesterday at the Pan-Pacific Union's luncheon meeting in connection with American Education week. Mr. Long is president of the PPU. Problem Is Educational "The greatest problem confronting the public schools today," he said, "is not financial support but educational what shall we teach the 93,000 young people enrolled and wrhat kind of experiences shall they have to help them make satisfying lives for themselves here in Hawaii and to contribute to the well being of the community?" Speaking on "Education in Hawaii," he sketched the duties of the head of the schools years ago, telling how they personally had to visit every school and examine every pupil.

But with this their work had just begun.
