Wreck of Roma Following
Disaster to zR-2 Causes
Doubt as to Feasibility.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.--(U. P.)---
Because of the Roma disaster ard the
destruction Of the ZR-2 last August,
there is strong demand ON congress
today that appropriations for dirisi-
bles be discontinued. Leaders in close
touch with army and navy affairs be-
lieve it unwise to spend money and
risk lives developing dirigibles.
Many members expressed doubt
that the dirieible will ever become an
effective weapon because It Is ex'
itremely, susceptible TO accident. Sec
retary Weeks may order special
board Of inquiry or the inspector gem
eral the army to investigate in ad.
dition to General Patrick. An inquiry
will be made regarding the supply OF
helium gas. Representative Kahn. Of
California, chairman OF the house
military affairs committee, is awaiting
further information before advising
committee action. He urged a vigor-
us examination.

Inc following communication has.
been addressed TO the editor of the
East Oregon by the commander of thf
local post of the American Legion. A
dance is to be given in the Union hall
this evening.
1T Is being rumored that the Amer
lean Legion has nothing to do with
the dances given in the Union hall.
We wish to say that this rumor ,s
absolutely false. On January IS the
American Legion took over the dances
that were then being conducted by the
Pendleton Dance company. All dances
advertised under the name of the Am
erican Legion are given strictly by the
American Legion and the proceeds go
to the treasury of the Legion.
We hope TO give the public good

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 22.-(U. P.)-
Major General Patrick, army air SER
vice chief Is here today with an army
inquiry court to start an investigation
of the Roma disaster which will re-
quire several days. The concensus of
opinion is that Commander d. l..
Mahry when making the turn over the
army base failed to call for increased
power. The rudder broke under the
unusual strain jamming the controls.
at an estimated height of $50 feet.
Forty feet from the ground the ship
struck q high voltage wire, setting her
afire. Few survivors today could re-
call the incidents leading to the dis
aster. Stories of the crash differ with
tho general belief that the gas bag ex-
ploded as the ship hit the ground.
Langley field this morning reports
thirty four dead and eleven injured.
Major Reardon, who was in control
when the controls went wrong, says
that Captain Mabry and Lieutenant
Burt were at the wheels when the ship
headed down. Burt pulled the eleva :
ii lever without result: He called to
shut off the motors, the next moment
the crash occurred. The disaster prac-
tically wiped out the Langley field
training school as every victim was
either an Instructor or a student.
Nearly every member Of the original
crew sent from Italy to test the ship
is among the dead. Major General
Patrick returns to Washington today
after a cursory examination of the
wreck.

O

EDTTORIAD
Wyoming folks put over a primary election yesterday.
but they mixed SO much uncertainty with it with refer
ence to some of the results that the official count is
likely to be required to clear the situation on the Repub-
lican side.
The Republican so far overshadowed the Demo-
cratic voting in interest that the unofficial reports on the
latter have apparently beeH1ost in the shuttle.
A the hour this is written approximately one-halfF the
precincts in the state have reported, And in none Of the
contests is the result clearly Indicated except in Frank
Mondelrs candidacy for United States senator, with no
opposition in the primaries; Judge Charles E. Winter for
congress, who has a safe lead and is nominated over
Marshall Reynolds, and John NJ. Snyder for state treas
uter, who has clearly defeated Jesse Crosby. Hinkle
and Lucas are trottng a neck-and-neck race down the
home stretch for the prize of secretary of state, while
Carter and Jefferis are doing the same thing for the au-
ditorship. Mrs. Beard and Mrs. Morton are not far
apart in the race for public instruction.
The governorship nomination, the big, contest, may
yet be won by one candidate as well as the other. AS
case now stands Carey leads by, some 100 with some
productive Hay territory still unreported. In any event
it will be a matter of hundreds and not thousands by
which the winner will secure the nomination.
The friends and supporters OF Carey claim his NOM
nation. The friends and supporters of Hay do the same
for him. and there the matter rests until the figures that
will determine the matter arrive at state headquarters.
There is but one thing to be said, even after the spir-
tied and even earnest campaign that has been waged
for and against the two gubernatorial candidates, winch
ever name adorns the Republican election ballot that
candidate must have the united party support. For In
any event he will be superior to the Democratic can
didate and more worthy of support.
