|i^V,V Kor, when Captain Lindbergh
hopped off last Friday morning from
10,. , Roosevelt Field, the cockpit of his
monoplane contained a splendid chart
slipped in surreptitiously by its
7 * jr . author. Commander Hyril.
As it became more and more ap???r-~
d parent that morning that the tall,
? ' slim lad from the West was intent on
" y b getting away, Byrd confided to com y
" j rades that h? wa? worried over Liud:

"Mi 5 confident of the an mail pilot's ability
and daring.
' tM l' (,r lu'' W(,( Hyrd has toiled in

skipping. The sheet was fairly
crowded with notations. To Byrd it
r- rr+is - was invaluable, an<l he guarded the

I ' ' those five weeks it never left his pero

toward Lindhetg's machine Friday
c- morning for a handshake of farewell.

, "way, there seemed to be a frown of
worry on Byrd's face. It must have
1' *>een ior he suddenly turned
y4rj iF y back to the machine and quietly
dipped something into the cockpit,
ffi.It was a sheet of paper.
Somebody Sunday asked Byrd for a

shoulders and walked* away. That
? saved him the embarrassment of ex-T
planation.

FOI'R ARMY AVIATORS OIK
M?*inl>eih of Bombing Fleet Fatally
Burned In Cranh Near Augusta
Augusta, Ga., May Z'J. - Four
a via tor a of a United States army
squadron en route from San Antonu
to l^angley Field, \irgnua, were
burned to dcuth bere today when the
left motor of their machine went dead
five hundred feet above the flying
field and the plane fell to the ground
in flames.
J he dead are: Second Lieut. Dan
I-. Voorhees, air corps service, pilot
of the plane; Staff Sergt. Clifford
Glenn, Fifty-ninth service squadron;
Staff Sergt. James lb-ad, Twentieth
bombardment squadron; Corpl. Melvin
Andrews, Fifty-ninth service squadron.
The plane, one of the fourteen
Martin bombers, that had participated
in the maneuvers at San Antonio, had
ascended five hundred feet to wait
for the other planes to take off, when
the left motor went dead, throwing
the plane into a nose dive. It was in
flames when the machine struck the
ground and comrades were unable to
go to the rescue of the occupants.
When they finally succeeded in extricating
the bodies they were almost
incinerated.
Several thousand people witnessed
the accident. They had gathered
early this morning ut the flying field
to witness the take-off of the fourteen
Martin bombers lhat had stopped
here Friday on their way back to
Lang-ley Field. At the request of the
city government the War Department
had permitted the squadron to remain
here until today and the officers
and men had been entertained by the
Augusta people.
( apt. Charles K. Rust, flight com- 1
mander, made an immediate report to
the War Department on the accident.
Scores rushed toward the plane,
but were unable to aid the fliers, who
could be seen amidst the flames, but
were apparently already dead or
stunned.
The bodies were identified only by
their service identification tags.
Six planes which had preceded
Yoorhees returned half an hour after
the accident, having run into severe
storms in South Carolina.

work would be done through
credit granted by agricultural finance
corporations, established in each of
the flooded states, which are raising
capital to set in operation these agencies.
