FLIER KILLED IN PLANE CRASH
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6 (AP) - A new two-seater monoplane crashed in a field about five miles north of the Lambert-Municipal airport yesterday, killing Alvin O. Kempp, Detroit, Mich. automobile dealer.
Kempp was flying the ship, a Culver Cadet model of the latest design, home from a Wichita, Kan. factory. He apparently attempted to make a forced landing in the field.
The plane struck with a terrific impact, splitting the fuselage, smashing the instrument board and crumpling a wing. The ship did not burn.
Several youths witnessed the accident and arrived in time to pull the pilot from the wreckage alive. He died in a hospital.
Kempp, about 40 years old, was widely known in the automobile distributing field. He was wearing a wrist watch which had been presented to him by Edsel Ford of the Ford Motor company in recognition of his sales record as head of a Detroit Ford agency.
