Dirigible Hangar, Naval Air
Station, Lakehurst, N. j., Oct. IA,
(By the A. P.)-This huge air
park, home of the ZR-3, was ord
cred under emergency regime at
IL noon today.
Its 28 officers and 400 sailors
and marines were on their toes at
dawn, however. Word had flash
ed over the field during the night
that direct communication had been
established with the big dirigible
and that all was we'll with her,
and that she might be expected late
tonight or early tomorrow.
So this morning there began in
earnest all the maneuvering of
paraphernalia and personnel which
has been rehearsed long and often.
Whirring motors whizzed open
and shut the ponderous doors of
the high domed guest room which
awaits the visitors. Flashing sig
nails were inspected again and
loaded upon trucks, ready for
quick transportation to the sett
ling spot field which was desig-
mated for the big bag when it
pokes it's cautious nose over the
horizon.

FORD! QUITS IN
HIS EFFORT TO
TAKE SHOALS
Manufacturer, in an Inter.
view, Says That He Can't
Wait on Politics
DECISION CONFIRMED

New York, Oct. 14.-Henry Ford
has withdrawn his bid for Muscle
Shoals and, according to an inter-
view with him in the current is
sue of Golfers weekly, has assum-
ed waiting attitude by putting it
up to the government to make the
next move if he is, to take any fu-
ture action in the matter.
The transaction, characterized
by Mr.. Ford as "a simple affair of
business which should have been
decided by anyone within week,
he declared, "has become compli-
Gated political affair."" and the bid
was withdrawn because productive
business cannot wait on politics.
Too Much Politics
"Muscle Shoals ?" Mr.. Ford is
quoted. "That is not live issue
with us any longer. More than
two years ago we made the best
bid we knew how to make. No def
mite action has been taken on it. A
simple affair of business which
should have been decided by any
one within a week has become a
complicated political affair. We
are not in politics and we are in
business. We do not intend to be
drawn into politics.
1--WE have been and still are
deeply interested in Muscle Shoals
as national asset. There is
small promise now that it ever will
be a national asset-more likely
it will be only an expense. That
concerns every one of us as citi-
zens. In the Ford business, once
We make up our minds to do any
thing, We go right ahead and do
it with the least possible waste of
time, energy or money. If we
cannot do what we want in one
way, then we find another.
Can't Wait on Politics
owe are moving fast and the
settlement of Muscle Shoals future
seemed so far away that we had to
find other means to do the things
we could have accomplished at
Muscle Shoals. In fact, we have
passed Muscle Shoals. Productive
business cannot wait on politics.
Therefore, we are withdrawing our
bid"
Asked if that meant withdrawing
absolutely from Muscle Shoals and
everything that pertains to it, Mr..
Ford replied:
eyes, We have made our bid;
now let them make US a bid. And
they will not have to wait three
years for their answer. We can
tell them in five minutes"

WANTS ASSURANCE

New York, Oct. 14.-Mayor John
F. Hylan, in a letter to President
Coolidge made public last night,
asked the president for an official
statement concerning the safe
guards provided American inves-
tors in the $110,O0O,00O loan to
Germany to be subscribed tomor-
row. The mayor said that "silence
becomes sinister at such a time as
this"
"One of the loan underwriters
tells prospective investors that the
benefits to be derived by the allies
will prompt enforcement by them
of the conditions Of the loan," the
mayor wrote. ut is reported that
the guarantee offered by the bank
ing syndicate is the possible use of
the mailed fist of the allies.
Wonders if 1t Means War
I'm the absence Of any official
statements as to what safeguards
surround American investors un-
der the Dawes plan, the American
investing public must rest content
with the statement of the interna-
tional banking syndicate. That
statement implies that war or
threats of war may be anticipated
in the event of default. Does such
a statement of the banking syndi-
cate accurately record official
sentiment at Washington? Is that
staetment to be accepted in lieu
of the official statement which
requested of you some weeks ago
And which has been withheld up
to the present writing? l am loath
to believe that any international
banking syndicate is the official
mouthpiece of the United States
government on a subject which
may involve not only the safety
o fAmerican money, but
the safety Of the lives and limbs
of American manhood"

PICKS UP SPEED

New York, Oct. 14.-(By the A. P.)
Overcoming a potential weather
handicap which threatened unduly to
delay her transatlantic passage, the
ZR-3. voyaging from Germany to
Lakehurst, was speeding along the
ocean air line toward the New Jer-
sey coast at noon today at the rate
Of rs miles an hour. At that time
she was approximately 1900 miles
from her destination. Maintenance
OF the same speed would bring her to
Lakehurst early tomorrow. At dawn
today messages from the Zeppelin
indicated she was flying along at 65
miles an hour. At 8 a. M, eastern
standard time, however, she appar-
emily was eneountering q southwest
wind which was holding her up SER
lously, the rate of her progress hav-
ing dropped to no more than Is
miles an hour. She was then approx
imately 1900 miles from Lakehurst
and almost due east of that point.
Within brief period, however, the
giant dirigible seemed to have shak-
en- off the blow, or possibly to have
found favoring current, for in the
next three hours she had progress
ed some 200 miles and was travelling
at IS mile an hour pace. She had
worked slightly to the north Of her
former position but she was not in
any marked degree out of the air line
course.

POSITION GIVEN

Chatham, Mass, Oct. 14.-A
message received at II o'clock east
ern standard time from the giant
dirigible ZR-3 by the Radio Cor
poration of Americas station here
gave her position as 42.3O degrees
north latitude and 1920 degrees
west longitude. At that hour the
airship gave her speed as Is miles
an hour.
Earlier reports had shown the
dirigible making only Is knots an
hour against strong southwest
winds and the message given at
II o'clock indicated that the wealth
er had improved. The position Of
the vessel at that hour also show
ed she was making rapid progress
in her flight to Lakehurst, n. j..
the position being approximately
1900 miles from her destination.
