Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 27.-
A mountain snowstorm which in-
vestigators believed caused the
crash of the United Air Lines’
plane near here Friday with a loss
of eight lives, hampered a probe
of the tragedy and the recovery
of one body Monday.
The smashed plane had to be
thrown upon its side before the
eighth body, that of Co-pilot Eric
G. Danielson, could be extricated
The crash also brought to light ■
the 1933 marriage of the 24-year-
old stewardess, Miss Mary Carter,
to John Wheeler, 25, Chicago hotel
manager and model. Wheeler said
the marriage was not announced
because of a regulation that stew-
ardesses of the line be unmarried.
He said he was working day and
night in an effort to “raise enough
money so Mary could stay home
with me.”
In charge of the company in-
vestigation was Leon D. Cuddeback,
assistant chief pilot of the lines.
