Last week the board-three B. A. C. men headed by Miller C. Foster of the Department of Commerce, and Montana Aeronautics Commissioner Fred B. Sheriff -issued a preliminary report. Northwest's veteran pilot, Nick Mamer, was completely exonerated. Helpless at the controls after part of the tail structure of his plane "fluttered" off, Pilot Mamer could do nothing but await death as his ship plunged to the ground...

In high good humor he concluded the conference, turned to his next important appointment of the day: a meeting with Business bigwigs to discuss co-operation between Government and Business (see col. 3). After hearing such an effusion of Presidential sentiments, the reporters retired amazed and mystified. Even the "death sentence" of the Holding Company Act permits first degree holding companies under certain conditions. Abolition of all holding companies would break...
