The pilot, Joseph Neuberger, 33, died 20 minutes after being taken to Rex Hospital. His pas senger, James L. Sltnek. 24, also a licensed pilot, was killed in- . stantly. It was the worst* crash on I record here. Neuberger had received his li- I cense as a private pilot only 11 ! days ago. Airport attendants said that his log showed that he was accustomed to flying lighter craft' than the 125 horsepower Fair child 24, in which he was killed. Traffic Tied Up The crash, which attracted j thousands of Sunday riders, tied up traffic on the interstate artery fo^almost 30 mlnuties. State High ~?Siy Patrolman A. E. Leavitt said. The tail of the plane jutted out over the road. Neuberger had presence of mind enough to cut off the Igni tion switch on the plane before the crash. Gasoline was spread for an area of 16 feet) around the demolished craft. Airport attend ants said that If the pilot had not cut the Ignition Are would have resulted. Two witnesses to the crash. H. K. Witiherspoon, of the State Highway and Public Works Com mission, and his son, H. K. With -trspoon, Jr., missed being hit by the falling ship by only a few | yards. # -"We were only 20 yards down the road when the plane crashed," ! said Witherspoon. "The ship was apparently coming from the North. It circled the field once ' and then headed South. Cutting Duck to land on the Sout'h runway j from the East, the plant- sudden ly flipped on its side and crashed into a ditch only a few yards from the highway. "The craft was too low and was j filing too slow to make a landing. I It couldn't quite make the field and crashed on ite left win-g and i nose." Speed Too l*ow Airport attendants verified Weatherspoon's account. They said that the plane's speed was too slow to allow a successful landing. The pilot was said to have attempted to spin into the runway after his plane stalled at .00 feet altitude. Ilis spin was re- 1 ported as too sharp, and the plane struck the ground with its left' wing. So great was the Impact that the nose of the ship was bur ied into the ground. Neuberger had 73 1-2 hours of flying to his credit. His license was issued for the Class 2 type of plane trtiat he was flying on Jan uary 31. Sitnek's log book cred ited him with 64 hours of flying. The crash was the second fatal one in the 11 -year history of the airport. On June 1, 1935, J. E. Sates, professor of aerodynamics and mathematics at State College, was killed when his plane stalled in a steep bank and fell In a tall spin. ALBANY STARTS REPAIRING DAMAGE DONE BY TORNADO Albany.

To obtain the studies for these groups. Leigh accompanied T. R.'s old friend. Carl Akrley, on his last trip to Africa. Akeley selected Leigh from a group of America's eminent painters to carry out his plan, which was to revolutionize and modernize display in the museums of natural history the world over. Akeley's un tiijielv death necessitated Leigh's making a second trip to Africa ? this time with the Carlisle Clark Expedition for the Museum of Na tural History, when he was accom panied by his wife, Ethel Trap hagen, the founder of the Traphagen School of Fashion. It was after this and other trips to Africa that Leigh wrote "Fron tiers of Kuch'iiilment". a book which is acclaimed by critics from coast to coast, and which gives a first hand account of Akeley's tragic end.
