The plane was piloted by 21-year-old
Marshal Tarbet when It Is said to have
gone into a spin and pancaked to the
: ground.
Inspection of the death ship by Ben
jamin Brewster, HI, and Comdr. De
Witt C. Ramsay, in charge of aviation
1 at the Naval Academy, members of the
! State Aviation Commission, revealed
‘ that the controls of the plane were In
good order.
Mr. Brewster, one of the three licensed
pilots of the Maryland Commission said
i that the State’s investigation would be
extended to the question of license*
. He said:
"We will check the licenses both of
! the pilot, who, we understand had a
limited commercial llcenae, and of the
plane. The plane, we are told, was not
licensed by the Federal Government,
but had been identified by it. Identifi
cation merely is to show that a ship Is
fit for flying.
"There are many points which the
commission must check up. AH pilots
in Maryland must have licenses, either
Federal or State and all ships must
have State licenses.”
A new oil field in the Btate of Nuevo
Leon, Mexico, has just been reported.
