NAVAL AVIATION
TO Be MADE SAFE

Washington, April 2.-Naval avia-
ton regulations governing naval air
craft in fight are devised to cut the
risk to machines and fiers to the
lowest point possible, it was asserted
today in an explanation Of naval
practices made public by Secretary
DENLY. The regulations include pro-
visions for enabling the planes to
keep constantly in touch by radio
with ships or shore stations along the
route insuring prompt assistance in
ease Of disaster and minimizing the
danger Of losing q plane and its crew
at ses-
No naval plane Is dispatched over
q route where It win be ct any time
completely out Of touch with the
radio stations at one end or the 9th
or Of the route, the explanation said.
The power Of the radio equipment In
any plane selected for "sueh fight
must be sufficient, under the regula-
tions, to span a little more than
haK the total distance Of the flight
ordered. II q thousand miles is to
be covered, the radio plant in the
plane must be sufficient to commu-
nicate more than 500 miles,"
Where there is any possibility of a
forced landing between the start and
the end Of the flight, two planes must
be sent together. In case one is fore
ed down it is assumed that the other
will be able to hover above and re-
port and then make landing itself
to aid the disabled machine.

''The situation at Old Town Is Sc.

good weather for the next few days
and no further rise in the river here
in sight for some time, I believe the
leves there can be hold safely. The
engineers at Old Town are doing
everything possible and report that
the caving has been stopped. If the
current does not eat further under
meath the enbaniment the levee

CALL SUSPENSION
IN COAL MINING
UNION ESTIMATES SIX HUN.
THOUSAND MEN OUT-EXACT
EXTENT OF STRIKE WILL NOT
BE KNOWN UNTIL TODAY
SAY OFFICIALS.

indianapolis, Ind, April 2.-Com.
plete suspension Of coal mining by
union workers marks the beginning
today of the national walkout order
by the United Mine Workers of Am
erica. Union leaders estimated 600,-
600 miners, including 100000 non
union men, had enlisted in the move
ment, and predicted no change was
expected soon.
The exact effectiveness of the sus.
pension, especially In non-union and
partly organized fields, was difficult
to guage, however, because today also
marked the anniversary Of the intro
duction Of the eight hour day in the
coal industry and is an annual holi.
day in the coal fields. Nevertheless
union officials were confident that nc
union men, except those authorized
to stay at work, would return to the
mines on Monday. ~
Union headquarters here prepared
no tabulation showing the geogra-
phical distribution of the idle men,
but reports from field leaders showed
the great bulk Of the suspension cen
tered in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas and nearby Southwest
ern states. Reports from other fields
were somewhat vague, and union Of.
ficials did not expect an exact show
ing for the entire country would be
available before the middle Of thts
week.
President John L. Lewis estimated
that 5000 of the 1900 mines IN the
country that have been operating re-
Gently had closed and In addition II
was pointed out that $500 mines
have been idle for some time. Chang.
es in the suspension were expected To
be relatively slow In becoming ap,
parent, but indications Of possible
spread Of its effect developed a,
points where railroads laid of many
crews operating coal trains.
Union leaders declared they were
not expecting any early detection
from the miners ranks on account Of
any operators attempting to resume
work on an open shop basis. However
the union men declined to express
any opinion on the probable action
of organized workers in partly or.
ganized fields, where the situation
was regarded as hinging largely on
the attitude Of non-union employees

NITRATE PLANT
SHOULD Be USED
PROPOSALS FROM PARSONS
TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS
BY SECRETARY WEEKS WITH.
OUT COMMENT- NITROGEN
FIxATION

Washington, Apr. 1.-Use of nj
trste plant No. at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, to establish by congressional
assent "an important profitable in
dpstry" in Alabama and Tennessee
for the fxation Of nitrogen, was pro-
posed today by Charles L. Parsons,
a chemical engineer Of this city, and
former adviser to the government
on nitrogen production in time OF
war. The proposal was transmitted
to congress by Secretary Weeks
without comment and was referred
to TIE house military committee foz
examination in connection with the
three other private offers for various
units of the Muscle Shoals property.
In a letter to Secretary Weeks,
which accompanied the proposal, Mr..
Parsons reiterated statements con-
tanned in his recent testimony on nj
trogen fxation before the house
military committee and declared the
cyanamid process was becoming ab-
sslete. For that reason, he added, he
did not propose to operate plant No.
2, designed to the cyanamid process,
but agreed to furnish the calcium
carbide it might requihe in the
event the government leased it to
other interests or decided to operate
It itself for the production Of cyana-
mid or fertilizer products. ,
Chairman Kahn Of the military
committee made public the offer at
her the committee decided to begin
executive sessions April 10 to define
Just what was offered by the four
proposals now before it and later,
to recall their proponents for final
examination and possible modifiea-
ton Of the Offers. After that has been
done, Mr.. Kahn said, the committee
would begin preparation Of its re-
port to the house covering the vari-
GUS offers and probably containing a
resolution for adoption which would
determine what disposition could be
made Of the properties by authority
OF congress.
Both the military committee
members and those Of the sgrieul-
tvral committee in the senate hav-
ing Jurisdiction over the four pro-
posals were agreed today that actual
development of the Muscle Shoals
projects should be started at the
earliest possible time. House men,
bars, however, were inclined to take
tho position that a decision on the
proposals should be made at the
present session of congress while
some senators believe greater pro-
gress could be made by appropriate
ing for construction work to begin
in July and withholding the offers
for more deliberate consideration,
probably until. the December con.
gves- =. In.
