As to the cause of the crash sir experts continue to be mysti fied. The Diane struck a ridge in a thunderstorm but at an uu orthodox ancle and at an excess ive .speed with throttles wide open, eee-minelv out of control. It was over a terrain where an emer eencv landing would have been possible, and the pilot had report ed everything OK only ten min utes earlier. Pennsylvania Central had never had a crash before in its entire history. Whether certain foreign agents figured that they were about to be exposed, whether G-men on the plane tangled with Lundeen in flight, or whether it was an act of God and the weather may never been known. Hut some ot Lundcen's office force can tell a lot of things about Fifth Column activities in the United States Congress. ; LON DON' NEliV E-CEXTEI1 V -H One of the most important facta to remember about the bombardment bombard-ment of London is that more than most Americans can realize, London Lon-don is the complete nerve-center of the British Isles. Disruption of that city virtually paralyzes the rest of "the United Kingdom. All the railroads radiate from London. There are no secondary railroad centers like St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh or Atlanta. Also the telegraph system, mails, distribution of merchandise stem from London, and even its news papers serve most of tne rest 01 England. No other great capital f the world is so bound up economically eco-nomically with its hinterland as London'. Furthermore, the city itself i3 easier to bomb than most cities. British manufacturers, having an eye to transportation, raw materials, ma-terials, etc., rather than defense, have concentrated a large part of their factories in one part of London. Lon-don. The Nazis, on the other hand, have scattered their plants in widely separated areas. The oil tanks, warehouses, food supplies of London are concentrated along the River Thames, where they have been for a century, relatively easy targets for Nazi bombers. It was impossible for the British Brit-ish to decentralize their distribution distribu-tion system in the short time they had before war broke, and now this is one of their greatest weaknesses. weak-nesses. For if the Nazis can put the city of London out of commission, com-mission, the rest of the British Isles must necessarily suffer partial par-tial paralysis. 'V Here's one shot down known by German fighting plane that will in Thames Estuary as the RAF passed this British censors, who give Great Britain no more trouble. It's a MetfserschnuU 109,' broke up an enemy raid. The fate of its pilot was not mad', picture. from the nearby French coast have made use of these ports suicidal. sui-cidal. Hardly a ship steams into their harbors. Result is that most British shipping ship-ping has to go to Liverpool and other ports on the west side of the island. This means that goods have to come by rail from Liverpool Liver-pool to London. And the Nazis daily have lien bombing the rail line. According: to uncen.sored reports re-ports received here, the rail3 are repaired one day, then bombed out of commission the next day. All this slowing up of England's Eng-land's economic life is more important im-portant than actual casualties. Even the fact that London is kept awake all night is important. Sleepless nights slow up factory production. If it takes three to six months to tool a factory in! the United States to prepare for airplane production, imagine how much British munitions factories must be thrown out of joint even if only two or three machine tools are bombed out of commission per night. These are some of the factors which, despite the valor of the Royal Air Force and the bull-dog courage of the British people, mane u. S.

Another factor which makes it hard for the British economy to operate is the dependence of London Lon-don on the adjatvnt Channel ports of D'over, Southampton, and Plymouth.

Several weeks ago Townsend claimed that Senator McNary had "endorsed" the plan, although actually McNary said merely that he thoucht the issue should receive "sympathetic" consideration.

Unfortunately the technique indicated is thoroughly disreputable. But more than a few students stu-dents of Brigham Young university uni-versity have obtained an education edu-cation at a financial outlay much closer to "nothing a year" than is usually thought possible and they have dune it honestly. Many have brought vegetables, vege-tables, bottled fruits, and other products of the home farm to their batching quarters, quart-ers, have managed to obtain work for their tuition, and have got by very inexpensively. inexpensive-ly. Of course, it is better for the student to have enough resources re-sources so that he can allow $32 for a quarter's tuition or $S(i.,r.0 for a year's tuition, $10 for books for a quarter, and at lea:;t $60 for a quarter's living expenses.

LONDON, Sept. 13 i.r.l:! British 1-l.u.i s have bombed Tempelhof airdrome in Berlin, one ov the largtst in the woi Id, the air ministry minis-try said in a communique today. A communique said that the Anhalter railroad station, used frequently by Adolf Hitler, in downtown Berlin, had been bombed. bomb-ed. Also, the ministry said, RAF planes had bombed an anti-aircraft battery in the Berlin Tier- ratten, a park adjoining the governmental gov-ernmental section. Tempelhof airdrome, in addition to bcin one of the biggest in the world, is regarded as one of the best equipped. Hitler in the last few years had undertaken a US program for improving and expanding ex-panding the field, which lies only a short distance from the center of Berlin and South of the main business and gover nmental center. There are military barracks near the big airdrome and not far away are barracks which reportedly report-edly have been u.sed by the Gestapo, Ges-tapo, or Nazi secret police. The. Anhalter railroad station is close to the Potsdam station, which the British reported they bombed and set afire night before last during a heavy raid on Berlin. f:v- fill rs l4 I fOLO LUblOMtRSlAMiUtS I PAY NOLWm DOWN!
