Theory of Crash COPENHAGEN, Feb. 1 (U.R) Four Danish airmen gambled with death today in an experi ment which tended to support the conclusion that a locked rudder rud-der caused the crash, last Sunday in which Grace Moore and 21 others were killed. ' Capt. Emil Damm and three 'colleagues made two test flights in a Dakota under conditions as nearly as possible like those untie un-tie r which the disaster occurred. The plane was weighted and locked precisely as evidence had indicated the ill-fated plane took toff. Investigators had concluded .that its locking devices were not removed. Back on the ground, Damm jsaid. , "The test proved what we wanted to prove: It is impossible io take off and fly with a locked Jrudder. When I tried to take, off, .it was impossible after rising a few feet to get the rudder column in normal position. In midair .when I tried to apply the rudder .lock, the nose of the plane tilted sharply." . : Europe Reports Coldest Spell ;ln 50 Years ' LONDON, Feb. 1 (UfiK-i .Europe's coldest spell in50,or .reiuciantiy eased its . grip today, 'but more snow waVtfdrecasfior the week end and doctdrf fe?red a possible influenza epfiewM$t.

FIND OUT 9:35 to 9:45 TONIGHT NOV Three Ships Forced to Leave Byrd's Antarctic Expedition LITTLE AMERICA, Jan. 31 (Correct) (U.R) Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen announced today to-day that three thin-hulled ships would be forced to leave Little America between Feb. 4 and 10, lest they be crushed by a record icepack, thickening with the approach ap-proach of the long Antarctic winter. The three ships are the Mount Olympus.- Yancey and Merrick.; They will be led out by the icebreaker ice-breaker Northwind, and, halfway through the icepack will be met by another icebreaker, the Bur- Probe Asked On Grand Junction Vets Hospital WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (U.R) A senate investigation of a $3,500,-000 $3,500,-000 construction contract for a Grand Junction, Colo., veterans veter-ans hospital was asked today by Sen. W. Lee O'Daniel, D., Tex, O'Daniel asked the senate war investigating committee to study award ot the contract to the Olson Construction Co., Lincoln, Neb., after extended bidding involving the Nebraska concern and the McKoe Construction Co., El Paso, Tex. At the same time Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo., urged that "no monkey wrench" be thrown in the way of early construction of the hospital, explaining that the medical facilities were needed immediately im-mediately for the care of veterans. OUR COAL ton, en route from the west coast The Burton will help the North- wind to clear a path for the three ships northward .to the safe area around Scott Island. Then the icebreakers will re turn to Little America and will bring out-about March 1 the 190 men left here. If one of the six planes with which the expedition explores the unknown area on the other side of the pole goes down, 30 volunteers will stay at Little America all winter. Cruzen, who is commander of Task Force 68 here, said it would take about four days to unload equipment from the Mount Olympus, Olym-pus, Yancey and Merrick. It will take about a day to reload some equipment that is not needed, including tractors and ground approach ap-proach control flying apparatus. Rear Adm. Richard- E. Byrd will remain at the Little America base camp, in overall command of shore operations. The premature departure of the three ships, Cruzen said, will not mean much of a speedup in the original date set for leaving Little America. "The only speedup will be the date of departure of the three thin-hulled vessels which were not especially built for operation through the ice. Their early departure de-parture was forced by the record-breaking record-breaking thickness of the floating float-ing icepack, which this year was found to extend more than 600 nautical miles from a position just south of Scott Island clear down to the south Polar Icecap barrier, which marks the edge of the Antarctic continent." ?),.-: !:: frt' ...urn 'I '.. :.: :, SfW''' M ' -J THIS WEEK IS HOTEL ' IN PROVO This week, February 3rd to 10th, will be one of the most im portant weeks in the history of our community.
