HONOLULU, March
20. — Amelia Earhart’s
around - the - world plane
skidded and crashed to
day while she was at
tempting to take off for
Howland Island on her
world flight, but she and
her two man companions
escaped injury.
The plane skidded on
the wet concrete runway
and the left tire blew out,
wrecking the undercar
riage.
There was a burst of
flame from the engine and
ambulances raced to the
scene.
Tips on Wing.
They arrived to find Miss
Earhart, white-faced, climb
ing from the wrecked craft.
“Something must have
gone wrong,” she exclaimed.
The globe-girdling plane,
which had carried the avia
trix safely from Oakland,
Calif., tipped over on its left
wing.
Started at Dawn.
The fliers' companions, Fred J.
Noonan, and Capt. Harry Manning,
also escaped injury.
The attempted take-off was made
shortly after dawn for the second
stage of the world flight, a hop of
1.532 miles to tiny Howland Island,
southwest of here.
Miss Earhart entered the plant at
S lOa.m. (Pacific standard time) after
Manning and Noonan had taken their
places in the craft.
The motors were given a final warm
ing up and then Miss Earhart
"gunned” them as she headed down
the concrete runway at Luke Field at
high speed.
The plane was about half way down
the runway when the accident oc
curred.
Wheel Hurled 40 veet.
The aviatrix, at the controls, appar- !
ently cut the ignition switches as the
8-ton plane swerved, thereby prevent- I
ing fire.
A scattered crowd of about 7s watch
ers, mostly Army men, saw a burst of
flame from the left motor when the
plane crashed, and then the fire died
out.
The left wheel snapped off and was
hurled 40 feet from where the plane
came to rest.
Both propellers were bent, the left
one badly.
The crash occurred at 8:19 a.m.
(Pacific standard time).

Failure of Defenders at Uni
versity City Opens Way
to Rebels.
BACKGROUND—
Tactics of rebels in Spanish war
called for subduing all provinces
and then marching triumphantly
into Madrid as the symbol of final
victory. Beginning in North Africa
last July, rebels almost reached ob
jective. Last November enough
provinces were conquered and they
turned to the final drive on Madrid.
The city was expected to fall with
little resistance. But Madrid’s de
fenders held out and the rebels’
great drive was repulsed.
Knowing complete victory with
out occupation of the capital city
is impossible, rebel leaders stayed
nearby and last month began a new
campaign, one directed toward cut
ting off all the roads to the capital
and starving its defenders into
submission.

Paris Defenses Bolstered
After Rightist Leader
Warns Premier.
BACKGROUND—
Three major riots have occurred
since Leon Blum took office last
June as French premier. Outbreaks
were generally considered a mani
festation of growing European strife
between communism and fascism.
Col. Francois de la Rocque, leader
of the Rightists, has proved Blum's
implicable foe. Blum dissolved De
la Rocquc’s semi-military Croix de
Feu shortly after taking office, and
the Popular Front government now
is investigating his Social party to
determine whether it is a reconsti
tution of the Croix de Feu.
By tne Associated Press.
PARIS, March 20.—The People's
Front supporting Socialist Premier
Leon Blum reinforced its capita) de
fenses today amid Rightist threats of
a possible uprising.
Numerous platoons of mobile guards
—the exact number was undisclosed—
were brought from the provinces and
stationed in various parts of the Paris
area after Col. Francois de la Rocque,
fiery Rightist leader, sounded an
ominous note of warning.
Protesting the government’s ban on
political party meetings, De la Rocque
declared: ‘‘I cannot take responsibility
for immense uprising which such
tyrannical acts may arouse."
The Rightist leader’s statement, co
inciding with the close of a govern
ment investigation into his social
party, was considered in political
circles as a direct warning against
dissolution of the group he organized
after the government broke up his
semi-military Croix de Feu.
Well-informed sources believed Pre
mier Blum would announce such a ban
Tuesday.
Meanwhile the government author
ized a labor procession at the funeral
tomorrow for victims of the Clichy
riot, in which five were killed and
approximately 300 injured during a
clash Tuesday.
De la Rocque protested also against
the printers’ strike that prevented
publication of his party organ, Le
Flambeau.
An investigation, to place responsi
bility for the Clichy riot, is under way
and Premier Blum agreed to submit
to parliamentary interpellation on the
Touchy question, which for a time
threatened tenure of his government.

BY AMELIA EARHART.
HONOLULU, March 20.—When my
Lockheed touched wheels at Wheeler
Field Thursday at dawn. I planned to
continue to Howland Island late in the
afternoon.
However, after seeing the weather
map of the territory to be traversed,
prepared by the Navy’s chief aerog
rapher. Theodore Lindeman, it seemed
better to wait one day.
The data for that forecast came
from Howland Island itself, gathered
there by the Coast Guard cutter
Shoshone. Lindeman showed me on
the map, a blue and red line running
north and south in the vicinity of
Hawaii. It indicated a “weather front”
moving slowly west to east. Behind
it followed more normal weather.
Once this disturbance is out of the
way, I can expect broken clouds be
ginning at 2.000 or 3,000 feet and
rising to 4,000 or 5,000 feet, then
higher and higher as tne day
progresses—much the same as those
which lay on the first portion of the
course from Oakland. Incidentally, I
am told similar formation is likely to
be with me over the entire Pacific.
The start will be made from Luke

18.000 IN FIDELITY
JO GET 85 PCJ.
IN REORGANIZING
Reconstruction to Be Com
pleted Within 60 Days,
Insuring Deposits.
HOME LOAN BANK BOARD
TO ACT ON OFFICIALS
Shareholders to Hold Mass Meet
ing to Name New Officers in
"First Savings & Loan.-’
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.
Approximately 18,000 shareholders
In the Fidelity Building &. Loan Asso
ciation, closed since July, will soon be
able to get back 85 per cent of their
investment under a plan for reor- j
ganizing the institution, it was
learned today.
It is planned to reorganize the
Fidelity into a new Federal Savings &
Loan Association within the next 60
days. As soon as the reorganization
is completed, shareholders will be able
to cash in their holdings at 85 cents
on the dollar, or leave the 85 per cent
in the new institution, which will
insure each account up to $5,000.
The reorganization was agreed to
today by the office of the controller
of the currency and the Federal Home
Loan Bank.
The Fidelity was closed after the
arrest of Fred B Rhodes, former pres
ident. Rhodes was tried last week in
District Court on a forgery charge in
connection with his management of
the institution, but the jury was un
able to agree on a verdict. Several
other charges are pending against
him.
Amount of Funding Undisclosed.
The total amount of money in
volved in the reorganization was not
discloaed, but further financial de
tails will be made public later.
The reorganization into a new Fed
eral Savings and Loan Association is
a new procedure in the history of
closed financial institutions here. It
will result in establishment of an in
stitution which probably will be known
as the “First Federal Savings and
Loan Association of the District of
Columbia.”
Many of these associations already
have been established throughout the
country and. according to latest fig
ures. there are more than 1,200 of
them operating under supervision of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
The agreement between the office
of the controller of the currency and
the board was understood to have
been along general lines of the pro
posal submitted by the board follow
ing a careful investigation into the
affairs of the institution.
When the new institution is set up
its supervision will be under the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board instead
of the controller of the currency, who
supervises all other building and loan
associations in the District.
Several legal details remain to be
worked out in regard to setting up
the reorganized outfit. The general
plan to be followed, however, will be
as follows:
The receiver of the Fidelity, now in
charge of the institution under au
thority of the controller of the cur
rency, would go to court to request
official approval for sale of the assets
of the old association to the new one
on a basis of 85 per cent. When and
if the court approves, the receiver
would then act to sell the assets and
the shareholders of the new institu
tion would be called into a mass
meeting to elect directors.
JThese directors, in turn, would pro
pose a slate of officers for the new
association. But before these officers
could take charge, they must be ap

Military Probe of Blast Opens;
Burials Fill Day in Texas Town
Nitroglycerin Found in Pipe in Ruins,
Officer Told—Cause Disputed as Ex
pert Clings to Wall-Gas Theory.
By the ' ssociated Press.
NEW LONDON. Tex.. March 20 —
Burials of its 455 school-blast victims
| occupied this vilage of death today
while the full force of a military in
quiry sought the cause of the worst
catastrophe of its kind in modern
times.
Soon after sun-up the great pro
I cesion of funerals began. Prom
churches, private homes and funeral
chapels hearses streamed to burial
grounds. Volunteer ministers from
over the vast East Texas oil region
performed continuous services with
almost clocklike precision.
To a barnlike school hall adjoining
the ruins of the once-imposing school
building a military court headed by
Maj. Gaston Howard summoned more
than a score of witnesses who. it was j
hoped, could explain the cause of the
tearing explosion.
‘ We are not here to conduct a
criminal court,” Maj. Howard said.
“We merely want to help by trying to |
find out what caused the explosion and
thus possibly do something to prevent j
such future disasters.”
Dr. E. P. Schoch, an explosion ex- J
pert from the University of Texas, was i
called upon to give a final opinion on
the blast cause at the close of the
hearing. After a preliminary inves
tigation, he said there was no doubt i

able, Says Burke, Foe
of Judiciary Bill.
B7 the Assoclater. Press.
Democratic opponents of the Roose
velt judiciary bill, aroused by argu
ments that its enactment would lessen
industrial conflict, declared today there
was no connection between Supreme
Court decisions and sit-down strikes.
"The one man responsible for the
sit-downs is John L. Lewis, who is
closer to the ear of President Roose
velt than any other man." said Sena
tor Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska.
“If he.” referring to the C. I. O.
chairman, “would give the word, these
strikes would end tomorrow.
“Attacks on the court in CongTess
have caused large groups of our peo
ple to lose some measure of respect for
law and the Constitution.” Burke con
tended, referring to outbursts in Con
gress yesterday, “and that condition
would naturally engender discord.”
Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala
bama. an advocate of the bill, declared
during a heated Senate argument that
the Supreme Court majority had so
restricted Federal powers as to make
it impossible for Congress to pass leg
islation tending to alleviate strike con
ditions."
The administration position, in the
words of Senator Robinson, majority
leader, was that future policy to ease
strike tension depended largely on the
impending decision by the Supreme
Court on the Wagner labor act.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, enlivened the Senate debate
on the sit-down strikes and the courts

Four More Jailed as Crew
of Waiting Police Beat
Bandits on Draw.
BT the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 20.—A $30,000
hold-up, which went into rehearsal
Thursday and opened late yesterday
before an audience of police detectives
in West Twenty-ninth street, put two
men in the morgue today and four
others in jail.
Meticulously planned, acted out
beforehand just to make sure, the
looting of a fur manufacturer's sec
ond-floor plant at the evening rush
hour was frustrated because detectives
had waited for it for two weeks.
The dead men. who were a costly
splitsecond behind the police in
reaching for their guns, were Joseph
Epstein, 44, and Julius Richman, 33,
both of Brooklyn and both with crimi
nal records.
Four tightlipped, surly prisoners,
captured as they emerged from the
building, gave these names: David
Silvers, 33; Joseph Catrone, 27: James
Thompson, 21, all of Brooklyn, and
George Blickendorf, 27, of Ridge
wood. Queens.
Thompson, who ran as detectives
executed their coup in the midst of
hundreds of homeward-bound work
ers, was woundea in the neck
Police said employes of Harry
Bleiweis & Son, where the hold-up
occurred, identified the four cap
tured men.
Saul Price, assistant district attor
ney, said the arrests would clear up
other crimes. Among the unsolved
hold-ups is that in which Gypsy Rose
Lee recently lost a coat.
Finding of “True Missing Link”
In South Africa Cave Reported
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—A re
port that the true “missing link,” a
two-legged animal part way between
man and ape, has been discovered in
South Africa, was made to the Inter
national Symposium on Early Man to
day by Robert Broom of the Trans
vaal Museum, Pretoria, South Africa.
Broom discovered the head, except
the lower jaw, in a cave at Sterkfon
tein last year. It was, he said, about
250,000 years old. The head showed
it to be an animal of about the si*
and proportions of a chimpanzee.
But its teeth, Broom said, “were
almost entirely human." No ape has
ever been found with teeth like this
animal. Its brain capacity was only
that of a good sized modern gorilla.
The belief that this animal was a
descendant of the first human stock,
a cousin of the branch of the family
which developed into human beings,
is based, Broom said, not alone on
this new discovery.
A similar animal with virtually hu
man teeth was discovered in another
cave 300 miles away 12 years ago. It
was a 5-year-old "baby.”
Prof. Raymond A. Dart of Johan
nesburg immediately identified It as
