Promoters Revive Garbage Plant Project Mare Island Head Reveals New Approach in Plan for Napa River Incinerator Plans by San Francisco interests for a renewal of the fight to locate a garbage incinerator and hog farm on Russ Island in the lower Napa River were revealed here today when it became known that Commandant Yancey S. Williams of Mare Island Navy Yard had been asked the attitude of the government toward establishment of the project.

Several years ago the Napa County Board of Supervisors firmly refused to permit construction of a similar plant on the island, and navy officials at the time joined with others in protesting the application. The supervisors declared themselves opposed to the idea of garbage and refuse being shipped into this county in great quantities. The telegram received by Admiral Williams was signed by E. D. Coughlin, who neglected to give his address.

Navy officials have been unable to communicate with him. Directors of Vallejo Chamber of Commerce took steps last night to halt the revived project when they ordered a letter of protest sent to the Napa supervisors, before whom the promoters will again have to app at to ask for a franchise.

BYRD PLANE CRASHES IN ANTARCTICA: CAD MEN HURT Ship Totally Wrecked When It Falls Near Expedition's Winter Base LITTLE AMERICA, Antartica, March 14 (Delayed) (Via Mackay (U.P.) -The "Blue Blade," one of the four planes of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, crashed today 500 yards south of the Little America camp. None of the crew was killed, but Lieut. Comdr. Isaac Schlossback, U.

S. retired, and three passengers were shaken up and suffered slight cuts. plane was completely wrecked. In the cabin when the singleengined Fokker hit the ground were Arthur A. Zuhn of Mount Pleasant, Fred J.

Dustin of Revere, and Harry M. Young of New Zealand. All three were dazed for a few moments, and Zuhn was slightly cut. The Byrd expedition, second venture into the Antarctic by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, has been beset by difficulties since its arrival off Little America, and the crash of the "Blue Blade" was another aerial blow its plans extensive exploration.

The expedition previously had been repeatedly endangered by crumbling ice along the huge ice cliff on the Bay of Whales, and only weeks of desperate, almost unceas- ing work made it possible to move the winter's food supply and other valuable stores to safety from a temporary camp. The crumbling of the ice cliff also endangered the expedition ships on several occasions. The Fokker monoplane had just been taken into the air on a test flight preparatory to making a dash southward in company with the Pilgrim monoplane, Miss American Airways. The two planes were intended to transport the food stores required for an advanced winter base to a depot 100 miles south. Injuries to the pilot and crew were not so serious but that they resumed their camp duties a few hours after the crash.

Within an hour after the accident, the Pilgrim took to the air and made a short test flight. Later it flew south with 800 pounds of food, destined for the mountain base. The Pilgrim reported by radio, late this afternoon, that it had deposited its cargo and was returning to Little America. Admiral Byrd refused to permit the crash to discourage continuance of his southern plans, although it added another disheartening setback to the previous difficulties and a three-day blizzard of last week which delayed the projected dash.
