Ben Epps Tells Story of Fatal Airplane Crash A Banner-Herald reporter yes terday afternoon was given the first account of the awrpiame crash here last March 3 by Ben T. Epps, sr., pilot of the plane which crashed, taking the life of Miss Sylvia Ras kin, Savannah, and seriously in juring Mr. Epps and Miss Raskin’s companion, Bernard Freeman, for mer University of Georgia student. Miss Raskin wag instantly Kkill ed and Mr. Freeman returned io New York, afte. spending several weeks in a local hospital without giving out an account of the ac cident for publication. Mr Free man, who lost a leg in the accident, is now in Yale University hospi tal. The two with Mr., Epps were the only occupants of the plane on its fatal trip. Mr. Epps received a brain con cussion from which he was uncon scious for two weeks in the hospi tal, a broken thigh at the riglh: hip, a sprained ankle which bas refus od to mend and multiple bruises and cuts. Scars from the cuts are still fresh. A story carried in a local paper yesterday from Atlanta said the accident had been blamed on Mr, Epps for probable failure to handle his plane properly, It said that the Epps plane was not licensed by the pureau of ‘®ir commerce, of the Department of Commerce and that ne did not hold any pilot's li cense issued by the bureau. The story further said that the report added that Mr. Epps blamed the crash to motor failure, but that there had been ample room to make a safe landing in any event. Gives Account Yesterday afternoon,, sitting in the willow-backed swing in the front vard of his attractive little home on Hill street, Mr, Epps dis+ cussed the accident and gave his views of it, as well as a memory clouded by the terpible injuries he received, could reconstruct it, Mr. Epps first emphatically de nied that he had blamed the crash on failure of the plane's motor. “In fact, I have never talked to anyone about the accident except possibly a few very close friends. I certainly have not talked for any report, because up to now I have been UNADYE Y hems s Ag the Athens pilot, who was & pioneer Georgia aviator back in 1912 and who has done commercial flying since 1920 with well . over 2,000 hours in the air to his credit, talked, he shifted his body pain fully in the swing seeking a more comfortable position. A huge knot on the left ankle catches the eyes where the sprain has never knit ted. The face which was full and plump a few months ago is rather drawn and much thinper. Pain and strain. Where the right thigh joins the hip is a large bulge. At his feet lay the crutches without which he would be helpless. His condition is improving, but slowly , and it is going to be many, many more weeks before he will be able to get around like the Ben Epps of old. X ; No, it did not make him nervous to talk about the accident now. Ask any -questions the reporter wished and he would try to ans wer to the best of hi sability. License Question How about the federal report on the plane license and that he did not hold a federal pilot's license? “That's right. I had a license on the plane a couple of years but the federal licenses are somewhat ex- Pensive and are necessary only When a plane is transmitting pas sengers across a state line. We had very little busipess of this nature. The state of Georgia does not re- Quire a licens: on planes. Very, very few small town pilots in the state have federal license. It would ot pay them.” “Was your plane a manufactur ed one or did you build it?” he Was asked. ‘lt was a’ manufactured one but I reworked it,” he replied. “You reworked it?” “Yes. You see. I hold a mechan- I's license from: the Department of Commerce in Washingt »n which Permits me to work on any kind of plane in service or to rebuild, Planes,” ‘T reworked the plane when I got it and it gave satisfaction after- Vards. Ylf the Department of Com- Merce thought I was good enough o be a licensed mechanic and the Plane had been good enough to Vin a government license, T would ot and did not hestitate to go up myself in it and take members of my family up.” The point Mr. Epps evidently Was making was that with a me- Chanic’s Jicense from Washington ' work on anmy type plane, the Plane itself having had govern- Ment license, there was little use ' keeping up the government @i- t (Continued Qn Page Two) FIRST RETURNS 3 ATLANTA —(#)— First returns om Georgia’s prohibition refer ‘ndum today came from St. Sim- Is precinet in Glynn county, where 'he vote was reported 47 for re- Pal, to one against, These ﬂs:!‘ges were unofficial 4nd accounted for the number of "UteS cast Aip to noon.

HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON — {#) — Sur prising everyone by its burst of speed, the senate raced today straight into one of the warmest of current controversies ~— the one surrounding the Wagner labor re lations bill. !

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS. FARMERS APPROVE President Flays Critics of New Deal Farm Program; Charges ‘‘Lying” : BY JERRY GREENE (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON — () — After shouting their approval of a speech in which President Roosevelt said “high and mighty” critics of the New Deal farm program are “ly ing,” farmer supporters of the AAA gathered again today to plan a new, national agrarian organizatien. Leaders in the move wsaid they visioned it as a unifying force to wipe out sectional lines. They said “we have several natiornal farm or ganizations but they are not in ac cord.” There were grins of satisfaction and much bark-slapping among the farm “marchers”’ as they reviewed vesterday's program. They said their demonstration in favor of the agricultural program—and against the critics who are seeking to alter it—was a success. ’ The program drove to & climax in the later afternoon when the 4,- 000 men stood before the south portico of the White House, looked up at the president and whooped their enthusiasm as he told them the farm policies would continue. The attire of the crowd below him was a study in contrasts. Some bronzed, lean men hitched the sus penders of their overalls and chew. ed tobacco; some wore their Sun day best, looking as if it just came out of the mail order bundle; others ‘wore well-cut business suits. The applause ranged from handelaps to sounds reminiscent of hog-calling. Introduced by Secretary Wallace as the “heart of America,” the president lost no time in lashing at critics. “The crocodile tears shed by the professional mourners of an old and obsolete order over the slaugh. ter or little pigs and other measur es to reduce surplus agricultural inventories deceive very few think ing people and least of all the farm ers themselves,” he said. “It is high time for us to re- (Continued On Page Two) Coca Cola Bottling company, was former president of the county board of education, trustee of the Mcßaé-Helena school, a former member of city council and pro minent as a civic leader. .

In the issue dated for Thurs day, Linder charges Secretary Wallace with not dealing “in good faith” with Georgia farmers and he discusses objections he said he raised at a cotton meeting in Bir mingham, Ala., recently. “I called attention to the fact that the secretary of agriculture has not dealt in good faith with the farmefs of (Jeorgia, but thal he, by his own order, took the processing tax off jute, which is the principal competitor of cotton in this country.

Mr. Smith urged that every voter give thoughtfil consideration to the is sues in elections before casting a ballot. John L. Green, candidate for city attorney, discussed the election laws and said that while there are some objections to the methodg of holding elections they are the fault of the law and not the candidates. He said that one of the objections made against the manner of con ducting elections grows out of the fact that many voters do not vol untarily go to the polls, but must be coaxed or induced in other ways.
