HELENA, Oct. worts progress administration today arrayed its forces in a drive to complete details and begin the mass assignment of workers from relief rolls, to jobs. Assignment officers of the WPA, beginning Thursday, will be stationed at the relief offices in Anaconda, Butte, Great Falls, Miles City, BiUings and Havre, beginning Friday, Nov.

1, at Missoula. These offices will be equipped to assign workers at a rate expected to approximate one thousand a day for the last day in October and for the first four days in November. By Nov. 5 it was expected the larger proportion of the workers in Montana's major cities will have been given jobs, and the same system of mass assignment will then be extended to all other sections of the state. Approved projects in Montana totaled 1,404, out of 1,778 originally submitted.

The building of these projects would cost, if all could be executed, $21,956,186. Allotments for their construction total $3,162,770. Comparatively of the large number of projects approved can be started with present allotments. W. P.

Tonight's air disaster was the second for Cheyenne and the United Airlines this month. On October 7 a giant airliner crashed 13 miles west of here carrying 12 persons to death shortly before it was due at the Cheyenne airport.

Tonight's crash was about 15 miles from the scene of the previous crash and was in country similar to that west of Cheyenne. The knoll which thrust up as a fatal signpost tonight is on a broken plain, covered with sparse short grass. Such a knoll is extremely difficult to discern from the air, aviators said. Bodies Found. At first it was reported the four men were blown to bits in the aerial explosion.

The bodies, however, were found bunched together in the crumpled mass of debris. Only parts of the grey-silver ship were burned. The plane, however, was such a tangle of wreckage and seared bits of instruments, that Hoare said he did not believe enough evidence remained to allow a definite determination of the cause of the crash. The debris itself was a mass of twisted metal. Instrument boards were destroyed.

Parts of the metal fuselage were melted by the heat. Officers were unable to prevent curiosity sekers from carrying away bits of the wreckage which might provide clews to the cause. The accident near here a month ago was the first in the United Airlines last 28,000,000 miles of flying. The company previously had had only one fatal accident to a passenger ship. the day.

America's biggest bombing plane crashed to earth and burst into flames today, killing one of the five men it carried and causing serious injury to two others. The ship was the Boeing "Flying Fortress," undergoing tests by the army air corps In preparations for strengthening the nation's air fleet Major P. P. Hill, chief of the flying branch at Wright field here, and official pilot for the tests of three bombers undergoing trials, lost his life in the crash. He and four others took the huge bomber aloft today.

Its four 700 horse-power engines had barely pulled them 200 feet off the ground before, witnesses said, the two left motors appeared to falter, the two right motors pulled the big ship around in a 180 degree turn, the left wing dipped, and the bomber crashed, still upright but facing a direction almost opposite to that in which it had headed. A wall of flame burst up as it crashed, ana then a explosion shattered the wreckage. But even before Hie Wright field ambulance, every ready for such emergencies, had hurried up, Lieut. L. F.

Harman and R. K. Giovamioll, among the witnesses, had thrown their coats over their heads, buried their faces In their arms, and charged into the flames to flrag the bomber's test crew to safety. The injured were Lieut. Donald L.

Putt, 30, Yakima, copilot in the tests; Leslie Tower, chief Boeing test pilot; John Catting, Wright field test observer, and Mark II. Kooglcr, 38, Wright field employe. Tower and Putt were burned severely and tonight were reported in "critical" condition. The others were less severely burned. Limls.

The first of these is the Maiden Rock fish hatchery. 26 miles south of Butte between Melrose and Divide, where two crews of 21 men each will start work. The project will last, four months, with a labor expenditure of about $6,300. Orders to start two other projects this morning' were received from Mr.

Watson-at an hour too late to enable Mr. Davis to identify them. They are Project OP-173, employing two crews of 150 men each, and Project. OP-174, hiring two crews of 33 men each. Mr.

Davis announced that all em- ployables on relief who are not registered chould do so at once at the national re-employment sen-ice office in the courthouse. They should have their U. S. E. S.

identification cards available so that when they are called they will be available immediately. All employables should contact the NRS office to be assigned to projects or they should remain at their listed address so that they may be reached today in case they should be called. "The men will be placed on proj' as last as state machinery will permit," Mr. Imvis said. It is expected that employ- ables will be placed on projects In this county at the rate of about 200 a day with nil of the men and women being employed eventually on a security earnings basis.

Work on the Maiden Rock hatchery will consist oJ construction of s. garage, storeroom and ice house, the digging of a large canal and re- enforcement of the present breakwater, repairs to the nursery tan and riprapplng of the rearing pond.

bat the pressure of sanctions, to feed their families on Italian food and to spurn the products of sanctionist nations. The United States, formally committed to neutrality, was not placed in this category. Exporters Warned. On his own part, President Roosevelt tonight warned American exporters the government is watching closely all shipments consigned to either Italy or Ethiopia. His statement followed up Secretary Hull's declaration that the policy of the United States is to "discourage dealing" with belligerent nations.

Two fascist columns edged closer to Makale, strategic Ethiopian city in the north, but found no one to fight. Sharp daily engagements, however, were reported from the Setit river region in the northwest, where Ethiopians were trying to dislodge the blackshirts from their positions along the river. Heavy Ethiopian casualties claimed there. The push of Italian armies went on in the south, over the desert and toward Harar, but the news lacked excitement. An American medical missionary left Addis Ababa for Jijlga, where the major southern battle may be fought, to establish a base hospital.

Proposals Confused. The prospects for a peace settlement at Geneva were confused. London insisted no peace plan was sighted, although Sir Samuel Hoare reaffirmed the willingness to help In. "honorable" settlement and informed observers saw hope his visit to Geneve might bring results. In Paris.

British sources heard Anthony Eden, the British minister for league affairs, was taking to Geneva a "basis" for peace discussions which was acceptance to both France and Britain. They believed, however, there was little chance either Emperor Halle Selassie or II Duce would accept it. British policy. Sir Samuel repeated, is unchanged on the whole Halo-Ethiopian dispute. Forty-one of 56 league states had enrolled In a "buy nothing" boycott and a.

"key product" embargo of Italy, and 44 have accepted 'the league's proposal of 'an Rims embargo against Italy. The economic sanctions, a survey disclosed, represent an overwhelming majority of the league's buying power.
