...Hauptmann did her loyal best to alibi her stolid husband for the night of March 1, 1932. She was not very successful. More promising was the testimony of a construction boss on a Manhattan apartment building who said Hauptmann was working for him until 5 p. m. on the fatal day. The crime took place 60 mi. away at Hopewell, N. J. not later than 8:30 p. m.

Far more striking was William Warneke's famed shot of New York's Mayor Gaynor, taken a second after a bullet struck him in the neck. But no complete view of an assassination-before, during & after the act -was ever caught...

S. airlines the rate is eight times as high (TIME, July 30). Despite this fact, British planes fly only 2,300,000 miles per fatal accident whereas U. S. airlines in the first six months of this year flew more than 3,500,000 miles for every fatality...
