OCR Text	Show FOUR DIE IN PLANE CRASH PETERSBURG, III., March 7 (U.H) A sudden snow storm was blamed today for the crash of an American Airways plane which claimed the lives of four men, one of them aviation editor on the Chicago Tribune and friend of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The dead were: Hugh Sexton, Tribune employe. Walter Hall Gren, Chicago, pilot. G. H. Waetjen, New York City. W. H. Bell, Columbus, Ohio. The plane crashed on the farm of Orval Altriz, five miles from here, while apparently trying to dodge heavy mists and cold. Thr snow was only a local storm and thus not predicted. Ice was believed be-lieved to have formed on the ship's wings.
