Crashing a small training plane at full spend into a sandy wash halfway between Temple City and Arcadia, Frank Temple 40, air flight instructor and a pupil, Miss Mary Murell, 19, of 821 Orange Grove Place, South Pasadena, were killed yesterday.

Many witnesses in the farming district said the plane flew low over the area from the west turning in a steep bank to the south and suddenly plunging into the dry wash.
