During the latter part of the game, Duchesne forged into a ten point lead, but the fighting Alterra group closed the gap to two points before the game ended. Both teams displayed accurate shooting. The ability of Goff, Hatch and Billings to convert four out of five free throws proved the margin of victory. Duchesne Sophomores also defeated Alterra Sophomores In a thrilling encounter, the score, 15 to Ier Year Pilot Tommy Thompson Is Well Known In Duchesne The waters of San Francisco Bay, where a giant United Air Lines plane plunged, carrying eleven persons to their death Tuesday night, by Wednesday night had yielded four of the bodies. The body of Mark Fontana, millionaire San Francisco food manufacturer, showing signs of a desperate struggle to escape, was recovered from the bottom of the bay where the plane sank. Huge cranes brought the wreckn ship to the surage of the face from 26 feet of water about three miles off the municipal airport south of the city. Stewardess Body Recovered The crushed body of A. R. Tommy Thompson," one of the United Air Lines star pilots, was found in the control seat. The mangled body of Copilot Joe De Cesaro was by Thompson's side. Near by, in the forward part of the plane, was the unscratched body of Stewardess Ruth Kimmel, recently transferred from the Eastern division. Tommy Thompson, pilot was well known by many Duchesne people, having lived in Salt Lake City for eleven years, where he operated "a flying school. One of his pupils was J. R. Pope of Duchesne. Divers worked from two boats, but water and shifting currents made the search for the other seven bodies uncertain. Crasti Unexplained Neghirbon, an air express employe, awaiting for the ship to land to bring air express pack-aginto San Francisco, said the plane appeared to plunge directly into the water about a quarter of a mile off shore. "She came In from the south," he said, "then for some reason circled around east and started back south. The plane had no landing lights turned on." United Air lanes officials declined to speculate on the cause of the crash, but expressed utmost confidence in Thompson, a veteran of the skyways. 12-to- -s Phillip Horsley and Axel Birch of Roosevelt wifre in Duchesne Tuesday taking care of telephone business.

Service) Salt Lake City, Feb. 11 Passage of Representative Eynona bill licensing wineries and distilleries in Utah by the house and consideration of old age pension and relief measures in the senate marked the opening of legislative procedure this week when both houses launched morning sessions. The house passed the dietilj-arle- s bill by a vote of 37 to 18 with three absent. Representative Granger of Iron changed his vote from no to yes apparently intending to give notice of reconsideration but Representative Marthakis of Salt Lake beat him to it by giving prompt notice that he would seek reconsideration of the house action later. Representatives Mason of Box Elder and Granger of Iron opposed the bill on the ground It did not provide proper regulation and supervision. Almost half the members explained their votes, those voting for saying they did so in the belief It would develop a Utah industry and thus benefit agriculture and the people generally. The negative voters feared it might tend to increase drinking of wines and liquors and that sufficient regulation of the business was not provided. Maw Gains Victory Major grist from the legislative mill during the week Included a e decisive victory for the Maw senate the block in pension when it succeeded in earmarking $50,000 a month from the liquor funds for pension purposes, appointment of a joint committee to old-ag- investigate state departments to determine where economy and efficiency may be improved and whether irregularities exist, defeat of the progressive labor bloc In the senate In an effort to force an amendment to Representative Bonaccls increased compensation bill to Include compensation for occupational diseases, Introduction into the house by Representative William D.

B. 45 by Representative Henry Peterson of Cache to relieve patrons of city owned Utilities from paying sales tax on services rendered by these utilities. Beer Control TUcnjMed Liquor and labor played leading roles in bellicose scenes In the senate. The liquor fight has ded afveloped Into a fair between those supporting the control plan of Senator Ward C. Holbrook of Davis which would allow unlimited licensing of beer sales but retain the licensing power in the state commission, followers of Senators Glenn E. Snow of Washington, Mrs. Stewart and Grover of Salt Lake who would divorce beer completely from state control and place it under local authorities and backers of Representative Wood of Weber who would provide local control of beer and also legalize sale by drink of wines and hard liquor. The liquor fight began before the senate Judiciary committee, headed by Senator Ira Huggins of Weber, when a public bearing was granted on Senator Holbrook's state beer control and the Snow, Stewart, Grover local control bills. J. Bracken Lee, outspoken mayor of Price branded the liquor commission a political machine more Interested in bulking 'fences' than hi enforcing the law. Leon Fonnesbeck, city attorney of Logan echoed by charging that funny things had been done la issuing beer licenses in the Cache city through granting of them to undesirables while reputable citi- (continued on page 8) three-comore- |
