Show Crackup Fatal to Two Fliers
Waxahachie, May 17 - (AP) - Lt. William S. Farish, 31, son of the late president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, and Sgt. Jasper J. DeMaria Jr., 25, of Merriam, Kan., died in the crash of a training plane before several thousand spectators at a Sunday air show here.
The public relations office of the Waco, Texas, Army Flying school, to which the plane and eight others participating in the show were attached, said the craft went into a spin at 3,000 feet, levelled off, but too late to prevent a crash, and burst into flames when it struck the ground.
