DANISH LINERS
SO SHUSHES
RADIO
8roadcasting interrupted for
Long Period Due to
Ships Plight

Radio communications and broad.
casting were suddenly interrupted
last night by an S o s call from
the Danish steamer Normania,
twenty miles northeast by east Of
Frying Pan shoals.
The hush order was first sent by
the Charleston navy yard station,
and was taken up by naval stations
up and down the Atlantic coast.
Nearly every station east Of the
Mississippi river was silent until
1O:45, when resumption Of programs
was allowed. This is the first time
that such a general silent period
has been caused by S o S calls.
The period of interruption was
longer than ever before since The
radio has reached its present stage
of development.
Steamers Charles f.. Harwood and
Henry p. Mallory went to the aid
Of the Normania, but, due to mis-.
understanding Of directions, started
for latitude 1924, whereas the cor.
rect position of the grounded ship
was 1924. They reached the en-,
dangered ship, however, before seri.
GUS harm was done.
News of the plight Of the giant
naval dirigible Shenandoah reached
the radio corporation here at about
o'clock last night, after they had
been quiet for an hour because Of
the first s o s call. After broad
casting the information that the
dirigible was reported to be loose
from its moorings, 1t remained silent
until 1O:45.

ed had been pulled from the ship
by the wind.
The mooring mast stood firm. The
great ship lurched drunkenly for a
few seconds and was then carried
rapidly away in the pe.th Of the
wind.
A shout Of dismaY went up from
the members Of the land crew who
had been standing below watching
the ship. Within an incredibly
short time the crew had the vessel
under control, and shortly after
ward wireless messages were being
received from her.
CoOIness Of Officers.
The GOODNESS of those on board
was shown by the nature Of some
Of the radiograms flashed from the
ship.
One said: Everything fine. Keep
US informed about weather condi.
tions. Little rough up here"
Another said: Holding our own.
Only four engines running"
There was not parachute aboard
the Shenandoah.
eve want the men to have abso-
lutte confidence in the ship" one Of
the officers explained.
All the men wore flying suits
The officers praised the work Of
the crew in lavish terms. Each one
remained at his post and carried
out orders Just as though the ship
was on one Of its usual practice
flights.

German Expert Pays
Glowing Tribute to
Shenandoah and Crew

LAKEHURST, N. j., Jan. IT,
Paying a glowing tribute to the
ship and to its crew for their splen-
did behavior under the most Cruel
ling test they had ever experienced,
Capt. Anton Heinen, German Zep-
pelin expert, declared today that
the wild flight Of the Shenandoah
gave ample proof that the airship
could successfully comuaete the
planned North Pole flight.
1.-THE Shenandoah Is without doubt
the strongest dirgible / have ever
flown and I have flown many in
my twenty years experience as
q builder of such craft he declared.
mo other ship in the world would
have stood the test the Shenandoah
went through. The test proved be-
yond doubt that the Shenandoah is
fully capable Of making the trip to
the North Pole.
Expected Hard Test.
"I strongly believe the Shenan-
trip to the North Pole any worse
storm than 1t went through last
night And II we do encounter

Shenandoah will safely ride 1t.
"I knew at noon yesterday that
the ship was going to have a try
Ing time in the gale that came up,
but was not prepared for the
sudden ride through the storm that
we got. I was in the control car
with Lieutenant Commander MAR,
Lieut.. Comdr. J. L. Dean. Lieut..
Lieut.. Comdr. e. H. Kincaid, Lieut..
Comdr. Maurice Pearce, aAd Serg-
cant Brown.
"The first I knew Of the gale was
when the ship was jolted heavily.
Il dawned on us at once that we
were heading for the ground. There
had been nothing to warn us that
he had broken loose. Seeing that
we were heading for the tree tops

ballast of three forty.gallon tanks.
Under Control Quickly.
"That lightened us up enough to
keep us from hitting the trees.
Despite this bad start we had
the big ship under control within
five minutes after we had broken
from the, mast. From then on we
were in absolutely no danger.

direction OF New York. let her

II wish it had been showing, too,
for that would have afforded the
finishing touch to a perfect test
We have wanted the Shenandoah to

last night, and the elements were
good enough to provide it."
Admiral Moffatt, chief Of Naval
Air Service. was no less jubilant.
1.-THE Shenandoah has proved she
is no fair weather ship" he said,
''but a fine, strong, capable ship
that can hold her own with wind
and storm under .s>cyerse conditions.
It was a fine test, and to my mind
augurs well for the success Of the

on It.
Gentle, kindly, unaggressive, con-
servatively inclined toward what
actually Is rather than toward what
possibly could be or should be, Mr..
Mellon has provided Mr.. Pinchot
and Mr.. Johnson with the main
issues of their coming campaigns.
Mr.. Johnson's trouble was that
his foreign policies (such as opposi-
tion TO the League of Nations and
opposition to any World Court con-,
nected with the League Of Nattonsl
had been too successful. They had
passed into being dominantly the
policies Of the whole Republican
narty in the Senate. He needed DO
nestle issues and he was having
hard time finding them.
Then came Mr.. Mellon and from
the calm, pure statistical industrial
standpoint proposed to pay no bonus
and to cut the top surtaxes in half.
Mr.. Coolidge was calmly convinced
by Mr.. MELONS calm argument.
Thereupon Mr.. johnson in the Re-
publican camp, and Mr.. McAdoo, in
the Democratic camp, were provided
with the issues which this week and
next week and in all the weeks be-
tween now and the endings Of their
fights will be their chief arguments
against the Administration.
JOhnsOn's Opportunity.
Johnson throughout his Western
tour will in effect declaim as follows:
1.-The Administrator proposes to
do nothing in the way of adjusted
wages for ex-soldiers, but proposes
to do much in the way Of adjusted
taxes for millionaires."
II Johnsons makes any headway at
