ONSamson, operating a Western Charming Panel to Crochet Air Express liner from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, with four passengers, co - pilot and stewardess aboard, reported by his radio to the caretaker of the airport at Milford, Utah, and asked that his position be checked. His voice was never again heard. Now after nearly six months the wreckage of the airplane has been found high in the Wasatch mountains, 25 miles southeast of Salt Lake City and 35 miles off the regular airline course. So shattered was the plane that the largest single piece of debris was a part of a propeller. Bodies of all aboard were buried 25 to 50 feet in the drifts of snow. . With a rich jewelry shipment reported to have been aboard the ship, a guard was placed around the wreckage and given orders to shoot on sight" until the wreck should be recovered; four souvenir-hunter- s were shot at three times. Ronald Dyche, of the national forest service, who aided in the long search, revealed how close the air travelers came to escaping death. If they had just been flying 25 feet higher, he said, they might have made it over the peak and possibly reached safety. 2about: The Good Old Days. CALIF.

Italian officers boasted: Only Fascist Italy can mobilize so many underwater craft at a moment's notice." The day before, Galeazzo Ciano, Italys foreign minister, had informed the British ambassador. Sir Eric Drummond, that Italy accepted in principle all points in the British proposals to assure the safety of international naval patrols off Spain. It was understood that the Nazis had tendered the same approval. The three main points of the British proposal were: That both Spanish belligerents be required to give formal solemn assurances that they will respect international patrol ships; that safety zones for patrol ships be established at certain specified ports of the, two belligerent parties; and that' the four naval powers engaged in patrol duties consult each other on measures to be taken if any of their patrol ships should be attacked. The Italians and Nazis wanted the third point to permit any ship attacked to retaliate at once. But they werent insistent. r p tion.
