Sat-unlay, Wrecked in Brush Near Livingston Manor-Searchers Unable to Reach Debris for Hours Because of Undergrowth Searching planes today located the missing American Airways liner wrecked in underbrush in the foothills of the Catskills near Livingston Manor, N. a Summer resort in Sullivan County. All seven on board three members of the crew and four passengers were reported to have been burned to death. Enough of the plane remained untouched by the Are to make it recognizable from the flock of rescue planes that had been hovering over the Catskills since dawn.

Plane Located by Private Pilot An unidentified pilot of a private plane sighted the missing airliner, landed and telephoned to the operations office of the American Airways at Newark Airport. The information was promptly conveyed to one of the company's searching planes by radio. Earl Ward, general jy THREE CENTS superintendent of the line said the plane had radioed back conf irma- tion of the finding of the lost ship. Trapped in Plane Those trapped in the plane when apparently it fell shortly before 5 o'clock Saturday night and caught fire were: CLYDE HOLBROOK, pilot, oi Chicago, veteran flier.

WILLIAM A. BADKR. Buffalo. Ever since Saturday night, when the Newark-Chicago-bound plane failed to reach either Syracuse or Buffalo, the search had persisted with dozens of planes during the daylight hours and State troopers and volunteers on foot during the entire time. One rumor after another was proved false this morning as Ward, who had flown here from Washington to direct the search, sat beside a telephone switchboard operator at the Newark Airport.

80 Miles from Syracuse A group of newspapermen waited outside his office. Shortly after noon he emerged and said grimly: "We've found them, as near as we can figure, near a place called Mongaup Park." Mongaup Park is between Livingston Manor and Roscoe. Holbrook, the pilot, after radioing an "okay" from the plane as he passed over Newburgh at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, apparently headed straight for Syracuse. Syracuse is not a regular stop on the line but his plane was rerouted through there because of weather conditions between Newark and Buffalo.

161 FoxyTugwell Spikes Hints He Is a Red Tells Inquiry He Backs Constitution Is Foe of National Planning Eagle Bureau, Colorado Building. By HENRY SCYDAM Washington, June 11 Dr. Rex-ford G. Tugwell, 43, former Columbia professor, regarded as the present outstanding member of Presi dent Roosevelt's "Brain Trust," and suspected of opposition to the fundamental principles of the American form of government, today declared to the Senate Committee on Agriculture that he believed in the American Constitution. He also stated that he had never advocated Sovietism, Marxianism or other foreign philosophies, and that he is opposed to national planning that would direct all the energies of the United States social, political, economic and moral toward a given series of preconceived objectives.

Hearing a 'Flop' The hearing, if It was intended to show up Dr. Tugwell as a dangerous radical cherishing un-American ideas, was a total "flop." Held In the enormous caucus room of the Senate office building into which hundreds of sweltering people had Jammed themselves, the investigation of Dr. Tugwell's fitness to be confirmed as 'cretary of Agriculture turned out to be void Of sensation. The coolest person present was Dr. Tugwell himself.

He wore a white linen suit, a soft shirt, white shoes and altogether appeared as if he were about to stroll' down some Summer beach, instead of confronting a group of Senators, among whom were his severest critics. There was no amplification in the room and both questions and answers were almost inaudible. Examination Innocuous Not since the circus midget sat In P. Morgan's lap had there been assembled so many photographers, Kleig lights, sound movies, Congressmen, press, police and Mrs. Alice Longworth.

Behind Dr. Tugwell sat several of his assistants, armed with documents, but so innocuous was the examination that never once had he to refer to his staff for information or suggestions.

Passing of the dividend by Auburn Automobile forced a five-point drop in that issue, and recurring anxieties with respect to the steel strike and German developments were largely responsible for softer prices In other directions. There was no particular pressure, and little general interest, so that much of the day prices merely drifted idly.

Commodities were irregular. Wheat moved erratically, opening off, netting a fractional gain, then receding again. Cotton lost 45 cents a Dale after having been up about as much. Silver and rubber were lower. Dollars ruled fairly steady.

Sterling clung around $5.06, off Vt cent, and francs were point lower at 6.61?i cents. Marks lost 20 points. The price of gold in London rose 1 penny. Bonds were steady to a trifle easier after a good opening. Curb stocks were Irregular.

UVJ City 8-Ct. Milk Near Sellout 8,706 Quarts Bought on First Day Supply Increases Tomorrow With the anticipated rush and confusion materializing in few of the 53 milk stations, the city today began its sale of milk in sealed con tainers to the needy at 8 cents a quart with the distribution of 8,706 quarts. When the stations opened at 7 a.m. the supply on hand was 10,260 quarts, Dr. John L.

Rice, CommiS' sioncr or Health, reported to Mayor LaGuardia at noon. In 30 of the stations, including most of the 23 in Brooklyn, there was enough milk for all who applied. The remaining stations, mostly on the lower East Side and in the Bronx, were sold out before the closing hour of 9 a.m. and 1,267 purchasers were turned away. 20,000 Quarts Tomorrow Dr.

Rice stated that 20,000 quarts will be available for tomorrow, and that later the distribution may run as high as 100.000 quarts a day. The Health Commissioner also indicated a possibility that the eight cents-a-quart rate five cents under the price of bottled grade milk may be reduced soon. The 53 stations are allotted to congested and tenement centers of the five boroughs, and the fact that most of them did less than a thriving business came as something of a surprise.

It follows in part: "I am reliably informed that some of my associates in the Senate feel that although there was no official misconduct on my part the vote cast by them to that effect would be construed by some of the constituents as a vote of approval of my attitude on power legislation and that this might be detrimental to their political future and to the political interests of the party In their district."

The Salvadorean Air Corps yesterday sent up airplanes to survey the nation. They returned to report death and destruction everywhere. L. C. Calloway, Pan-American Airways airport manager, went along as an observer and made an unofficial report of his findings.

He said the government planes dropped messages to all communities where life was still observed, asking them to report in to the capital immediately as to the extent of casualties and loss in each village.

Lehrenkrauss Proposal Filed Application to Reorganize First Here Under New Bankruptcy Act Application to reorganize the Lehrenkrauss Corporation under the new Bankruptcy Reorganization act signed last week by President Roosevelt was filed today in Brooklyn Federal Court the first such application in this district. Lehrenkrauss Corporation went in equity receivership on Dec. 7, last, when J.

Lehrenkrauss Ss Sons, which owned it, went into bankruptcy.

Emerick, attorneys for the reorganizers, say they believe the $12,000,000 claim of the bankruptcy trustees will be disallowed by the court. If this develops, they say, and if $120,000 owed banks can be converted into long-term loans, and $100,000 of mortgages owned by the corporation can be exchanged for Home Loan Corporation bonds and the latter converted into cash, a reorganized Lehrenkrauss Corporation might resume business with little or no additional financing.
