were called to the block by Art Mctzler. master of ceremonies. Lee Homebrook's orchestra and assembly singing led by Joe Williams of the Louisville, U. S. O.

center opened the rally. The "slaves" speculated gloomily behind the scenes as they waited to be called on the stage and the sales block, about the duties of the big crowd of husky slave drivers. Their apprehensions faded, however, when it turned out that the drivers were to pep up the audience and relay the bids, and not to harry the slaves. The slaves on the platform, sitting not more than three feet from the man at the microphone, were unable to understand one word that was said. dueN to some freak ol acoustics.

That accounted for. the fact that some of them seemed' reluctant to step up on the block. Really, they had not been able to understand their own names when called out. much less hear a woid of whatever was said about them by Art Mrs. Howard Millard.

Airport Pilot, Passenger Fall Two Miles North of City George Elmer Wicker, 30, of 2195 North Maple street, and Earl Kenneth -Red" Craig, 42, of 2505 North Monroe street, were instantly killed about 5:35 p. m. yesterday when an airplane in which they were flying dove 1.500 feet to crash in a soybean field on the Brett farm two miles north of the city. Wicker, an instructor at Decatur airport with some 2.000 flying hours to his credit, was pilot of the plane with Craig as a passenger.

Several persons reported seeing the small bi-plane crash in a field between the Illinois Terminal tracks and route 51. Their statements indicated that the plane stalled, sideslipped and then dove to the ground where it hit nose-first, burying the motor and part of the propellor in the dirt. The wings were shattered, although they apparently struck the ground after the motor had hi1 The motor was jammed back into the fuselage, and the tandem seat'; were shoved close to the fronts of the cockpits.

air safely investigator for the U. S. Civil Aeronautics board, arrived here late last night and this morning was inspecting the wrecked plane at the Site of the crash. George Roberts, state C. A.

A. supervisor, also arrived this morning. Inquiry to Take Time Mr. Tanguay said that from several weeks to months might be taken in attempting to determine the reason for the crash. "It's a serious matter and we can't afford to guess about it," he said.

"We must take statements from all possible witnesses, check the plane now and what is known of it before the crash, and attempt to reconstruct what happened. When va have completed our work, the C. A. A. will issue a statement of the iindmgs." Carl Shelton.

manager of the airport for the Decatur Aviation which operates the field, today speculated that the crash might have occurred because Craig had taken hold of the controls and "froze at them." Mr. Shelton said that he had talked to the two men just before they took off. about a half-hour before the crash, and that he and Craig had discussed the possibility of Craig taking flying lessons. Wag 1941 Model Mr. Shelton said that Craig may have tried the controls while the plane was in flight and "frozen" them, which at the low altitude the plane was flying would give the pilot too little time to regain control.

When a person "freezes" at the controls, he ordinarily has to be "knocked" loose from them, the airport manager said. The plane, owned by the aviation company, Mr. Shelton said, was a 1941 model bought with seven others only recently from the Canadian government after thorough overhauling and checking. He said it had just been certified by the C. A.

A. which meant that it had been flown 14 hours with an inspector aboard, and was in excellent condition yesterday, so far as the manager knew. Mr. Shelton said that Pilot Wicker was a personal friend of his. that the pilot had learned to fly under the Moody brothers and Mr.

Shelton. The pilot "knew his business. Mr. Shelton said, "and I don't think there was anything wrong with his flying or the plane. I'm sure Wicker was too old a pilot to have been trying any acrobatics at that altitude." First Airport Tragedy The crash was the first fatal accident in the history of the airport, Mr.

Shelton reported. Over 20,000 hours of flying time has been completed at the airport without a major tragf iy, he said, ith only two cracked propellers on the records, one when a dog was struck by a spinning "prop." When the plane crashed in a cloud of dust yesterday, witnesses rushed to the scene to find the men pinioned in their seats, their bodies badly broken and bruised. Ambulances were rushed to the scene and Coroner Harold Brint-linger arrived about 10 minutes after the crash. State police and deputy sheriffs restrained the crowd that gathered. Craig was lifted from his rear seat, but the plane had to be lifted to remove Wicker.

W. W. Sellers. 1449 West Forest avenue, home on the leave from the navy, who was at the home of Early Gordy and with his wife and the Gordy family reported seeing the crash, gave this account: "The plane seemed to be maneuvering in circles. It rather spiraled upwards and then all at once it appeared to go from a sideslip into a nosedive.

I saw the accident from start to finish." Report Motor Stopped Other witnesses, Mrs. Hazel Vest, who lives a quarter of a mile west of the crash scene on rural route 2. and George Constant of Maryland Heights, who was working in his garden a short distance away, both reported they thought the motor stopped just before the plane started its fall. The bodies of the men were taken to the Moran it Sons" funeral home. At Auction, Proves He's Good Sport stantly killing its pilot.

They are Don H. Moore. 17. of 1105 North Illinois street, and William M.

17, of 415 East Leafland avenue. They were arrested yesterday as they walked on railroad tracks near LaPlace, a short distance from where the Seip car was abandoned on route 36. Decatur police were told that the two youths were seen running from the car when it stopped because of an overheated motor. Sheriff Emery Thorncll said one of the boys admitted that they took the car when they discovered the ignition key had not been removed from it. Mr.

Seip, who parked the car near the ration office, was not aware of the theft until he was advised that the car had been recovered. Sgt. Dwain Radcliffe Wounded on D-Day Staff Sgt. Dwain J. Radcliffe was seriously wounded in France on D-Day, June 6, according to a telegram received from the War department by his mother.

Mrs. Mary Wendell, 1942 North Church street. Sergeant Radcliffe was wounded previously in the invasion of Africa. Mrs. Wendell has five other sons in service.

G. A. R. riCNIC The annual picnic of the CA R. and all affiliated organizations will be held Friday noon in Fairview park pavilion, it was announced today.

With members and families invited, each individual should provide food and service for himself, the announcement said. Mayor Decatur's Mayor James A. Hed-rick is "a whale of a good sport." Any one of the other 24 "slaves" sold in last night's War bond slave auction at the Lincoln theater will testify to that. The mayor was sold twice. First to mount the auction block, and with the bidders feeling their way.

'he was "knocked down" to Store I Manager Louis B. Margolis for only in War bonds. After the bid ding had warmed up to an average of $1,000 or better per slave, the mayor was sold again, to Bernard Graliker, for $1,000. In the interlude, "hizzoner" had been the victim of an accident that placed him in an embarrassingly delicate position. His slave chore was to walk a dog, and he came on the stage leading a very tiny Manchester dog by a large tow-rope.

Taking his place with the other costumed slaves seated backstage to await their turn at the block. Mr. Hedrick picked up the little brown dog, holding it on his spacious lap. Dog Has Mishap The excitement of the occasion was evidently too much for the dog and the result was a wet spot on the front of the mayor's pants, about the size of a saucer. Despite his effort to stand sidewise on his second appearance on the slave block, the spot showed much too plainly for Mr.

Hedrick's comfort. But the mayor wasn't the only slave casualty. Dr. R. Zink Sanders, slave attired in white apron with pretty fringe around it as a dish washer, was sitting too close to the little dog, and "suffered" a good-sized damp spot on his apron.

But on white it didn't show too badly. One other slave in the auction, which netted a total of $32,950 in War bond sales, also had a mildly distressing experience. Mrs. W. C.

Reeves, an unassuming little woman who offered her services as a nursemaid, had to appear without her false teeth. Mrs. Reeves, mother of 10 children, explained that she had expected her new teeth in the mail yesterday but they didn't arrive "But I wanted to help," she said, "so I came anyway." Her baby sitting services brought $500 from Mrs. Otis B. Chumbley.
