Sandlin Chosen
Head Of Scout
Board Of Review
R. N. Saruilin. high school prin-
cipal, has been named board of
review chairman for the Denison
Boy Scout district, completing the
advancement group heads for the
district, it was announced today by
George A. Holland, scout execu-
tive.
Mr. Sandlin will be placed in
charge of the district board of re-
view to certify scouts for awards j
that twelve members of the na-
tion's aimed forces, including one
army and two navy officers, were
killed when a navy bomber crash-
ed during operations in the Atlan-
tic ocean area. No details were
Riven.
The cryptic announcement said
only I hat t he plane had been miss-
ing since mid-morning Sunday and
that, the wreckage had been found.
Speculation Aroused.
Secrecy with which details were
shielded and the fact that the an-
nouncement was made directly
from the navy department
aroused speculation whether the
bomber was operating in the At
lantic patrol and whether it was
brought down in action or by some
defect, such as motor trouble.
Aboard the big navy bomber
when it crashed was an army of-
ficer—Second Lieut. W. P Robin-
son, 28, of Chicago—who was
listed a a passenger, presumably
nn observer.

bomber were:
