Quake Causes
Closing of State
Capitol Building
(Bv the Associated Press'
A new problem — two or three '
months’ closure of the state Cap
itol building—harrassed Washing
ton State officials today as they
scurried to find room for depart
ments already ousted from their j
quarters by last Wednesday’s i
earthquake.
Closure of the legislative build- j
ing—which houses offices of the
governor, auditor, treasurer, sec
retary of state and legislature—
was ordered yesterday by Harold
van Eaton, state director of pub
lic institutions.
He said engineers found the
100-ton sandstone cupola atop the
building dome has shifted during
the tremblor and mortar holding
the huge blocks had broken.
It added the problem of finding
quarters for nearly a dozen de
partments to Van Eaton’s earlier
task of providing for four depart
ments ousted by closure of the old
capitol building in downtown
Olympia.
Meanwhile, in Seattle and near
by areas students of at least five
schools received additional vaca
tion periods. Officials said the
Snoqualmie and Duwamish grade
schools will be closed until further
notice because of extensive dam
age, Cascadian grade school will
be demolished because of exten
sive damage, Horace Mann school
will remain closed until a chimney
is repaired.

Northwest Airlines
Sues Martin Co. for
Faulty Planes
! CLEVELAND. (JP)—In a $725.
000 damage suit, Northwest Air
lines, Inc., claims the Glenn L.
Martin Co. sold the airlines five
defective planes, including one in
which 36 persons were killed.
Northwest, with headquarters
in St. Paul, brought the suit in
federal district court here yester
day against the Baltimore airplane
manufacturer.
The petition said 33 passengers
and three crew members were
killed near Winona. Minn., last
Aug. 29 when a wing of one of the
Martin-built planes “tore off in
flight.”
Northwest asked $450,000 for
the lost plane and its equipment,
$250,000 for the loss of services of
the other four planes, and $25,000
in workmen’s compensation for
which Northwest Airlines became
liable.
The planes were not suitable for
passenger service and the Martin
Co., was negligent in their pro
duction, the petition claimed. All
five planes, it said, were obtained
from the Baltimore plant within
a year before the crash near Wi- >
nona.
In Baltimore, Glenn L. Martin,
president of the defendant com
pany, said the suit was a “quarrel
between insurance comp a n i e s
which does not affect us at all.”
The only way to settle the dispute,
he added, is through the courts.
Martin contended insu ranee
companies of Northwest Airlines
seek to make his firm liable in the
crash, while Martin company in
surance representatives are un
willing to pay for Northwest’s
misfortunes.
The civil aeronautics board has
investigated the case of the plane |

FAIRBANKS, (/PI — More than
hair a dozen Fairbanks business

She died Tuesday night at the
age of 67.
Born in Port Townsend, Wash.,

After the death of Lavery in

store. She was one of the finan
cial backers of one of Fairbanks
earliest airlines, and her son Wil
liam Lavery operated his own
line, the Lavery Airlines, until a
few months ago.
Besides her son William, Mrs.
Lavery is survived by two other
sons, R. K. Lavery and James Val
entine Lavery, and a sister. Mr?.^
