Aeronautical Designer and
Wife Are Found Beside
Crashed Plane. _
B> the Associated Preu. .
FLAGSTAFF, Arlr., Jan. 31.—the
charred bodice of Gerard F. Vultee,
38-year-old aeronautical designer,
and his wife Sylvia, 27, were brought
to Flagstaff early today from anow
covered Mount Wilson, where their
flaming airplane fell Saturday.
The bodies were borne out of the
rugged region on stretchers to a Wait
ting truck.
Twelve men of more than 100 who
set out reached the ship after strug
gling for hours through the deep
snow. Members of the party salj) the
bodies were so badly burned that they
were identified only through a wrist
watch on Vultee’s arm.
The Vultees were en route to Glen
dale. Calif., their home, from Winslow,
Arls. The scene of the crash was
Mount Wilson, a small peak 33 miles
from here.
Shoe and Hat Found.
“The only things we found around
there that we could recognise were
part of a woman’s shoe and a man's
hat.” said Edward L. Robinson, C. C. C.
worker and one of three persons who
fought their way ahead of the posse
going to return the bodies and located
the wreckage.
He described the scene as “just a
black spot” on the small, snow
blanketed plateau.
Mr. Robinson said the plane ap
parently caught fire in the air. Mr.
Vultee and his wife appeared to have
been locked in the cabin, he reported.
Flying Without Radio.
Mr. Vultee, whose aircraft designs
included large bombers purchased by
Soviet Russia, was flying without radio
apparatus and was not aware he was
heading into a storm. The flight was
to have been the last leg of a trans
continental journey.
Tlie couple left a six-month-old son
in Los Angeles. Mrs. Vultee. the
former Sylvia Parker, daughter of
Max E. Parker, Hollywood motion
picture art director, was married to
the aeronautical engineer in 1934.
Mr. Vultees factory, which deals
largely in exports, is a branch of the
E. L. Cord Corp. Planes he designed
are used extensively by the United
States Army and by other governments.

Faces Another “Sacco-Van
zetti Affair” in Fred Beal
Case, He Says.
>? the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Jan. 31.—Warning that
“Massachusetts faces another Sacco
Vanzetti affair” to the case of Fred
E. Beal, a labor organizer recently ar
rested on charges of being a fugitive
from North Carolina justice, was
voiced yesterday by the Rev. Edmund
A. Walsh, S.J., dean of the George
town University' School of Foreign
Service.
Father Walsh spoke before 1,000
members of the league of Catholic
Women.
He expressed the opinion that “radi
cal agitators tipped" authorities on
Beal's presence in Lawrence, where
he was seized, with the intention of
raising a "persecution Issue” In his
defense.
Beal, free under bail. Is scheduled
to appear at an extradition hearing
next month before Gov. Charles F.
Hurley. The warrant under which
he was arrested charged that he was
convicted, with six others, of con
spiracy to kill the Gastonia <N. C.)
police chief and was sentenced in 1929
to serve 17 to 20 years in prison.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zettl, to whom Father Walsh referred,
were executed In 1927 for the murder
of a South Braintree paymaster. The
crime for which they died was com
mitted In 1921 and their trial and
subsequent appeals were marked by
widespread agitation.
Father Walsh, speaking on the gen
eral topic of Communism, asserted
that radical groups which attracted at
tention In the Sacco-Vanzettl case,
would "agitate” against the extradi
tion of Beal.
Regarding Communism, he de
clared :
"After 20 years of the cruel fiasco
In Russia, the number of Americans
who would still |ike to see Communism
introduced to the United States is
amazing.”
The lesson Americans should have
learned from the Russian experiment,
he added, was that "whatever the
cure is, it does not lie in Communism."

DON’T you make the mistake of thinking that this
“recession” or anything else can stop your country’s
onward march! * '
Something deep-rooted and changeless in our national
character is competently on guard against that. ■
We mean the American heritage of enterprise—our bred
in-the-bone belief in more things for more people as the
key to plenty—our will and skill to make things cheaper
and better.
Typifying this in dramatic fashion is the new General
Motors factory just dedicated in Detroit, for the mass
production of new-type Diesel engines.
In this plant, GM will produce “packaged power” units,
stationary and portable, for all purposes.
Applying to engines as small as 22 horsepower the
engineering principles developed in the powerful Diesel
locomotives that speed the modern high-utility streamline
trains, we foresee the opening of vast new fields of useful
ness on land, sea and in the air.

the great national problem of unemployment, and a great
opportunity as welL' Increased wages, shorter hours, unless
offset by Increased proddctivity, is deflationary—it means
less for all, especially tboae Wtkp have the least.
The automotive industry has been an outstanding expo
nent of the principle of capitalizing technological advances*
This has made possible a continuous advance in real wages,
over the years, and at the same time a reduction in real
prices, the lower priced car of today being equal in size
and horsepower to the higher priced car of ten years ago.
In this process volume is stimulated, resulting over the
years in more jobs at higher wages for more workers.
General Motors, for example, invests each year tens of
millions of dollars in new methods and new equipment, as
the real approach toward constantly better values, better
jobs and better living for all.
