Efforts to Find Body at the Point Where Crew Say He Stepped Out of Wrong Door Into English Chan. nel--Pilot and Mechanic RUMORS MANY AND VARIED Paris Believes Most Plausi- ble Theory Was that the Banker Had Been Thrown Against Exit Door When Plane Was Banking and Door Opened (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) London, July 7--Discussion of the mystery of Captain Alfred Loewen- stein's death by a fall from his aero- plane into the sea went on apace to- ay. Efforts to find his body at a point where the crew of his plane and its other occupants assert he fell into the English Channel through acci- dentally opening the exit door of the plane, have been futile. The pilot and mechanic of the plane spent sev- eral hours cruising about the spot in a tug in a fruitless search, Ru- mors that the whole affair was a gigantic hoax were circulated in brokers offices and other concerns interested in dealings of the stock exchanges of London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels. One suggestion was that Loewenstein never left Croydon, Another rumor was that he landed with the plane somewhere between Croydon and Dunkirk, where it was first seen to land, and disappear, or that he vanished in a fast motor car after landing at Dunkirk, Newspapers recalled that the mysterious deaths of prominent per- sons had always been followed by such reports. All who knew Loewenstein insist- ed that he had no reason for com- mitting suicide, In Paris it was thought that the most plausible theory was that the banker had been thrown against the exit door when the plane was banking on a turn and the door. opened permitting him to slip through to his death, it was as- serted that when the 'plane was banking the wind pressure on the door would have been less, Paris, July 6.--The mystery of how the Beligan financier Alfred Loewenstein could have fallen ac- cidentally from his plane Wednes- day evening while crossing the English Channel was increased, rather than diminished, by experi- ments today at Le Bourget Field with a similar plane, Two mechanics who tried to op- en the outside door of a plane while the motor was turning at full speed only succeeded in doing so by using their full strength, and then succeeded only in pushing it far enough open for one man to squeeze out with difficulty. They conclude that it was practically impossible for a one man to open such a door if the plane were fly- ing at ordinary cruising speed.
