Postpone Trip of
Huge Dirigible
To Porto Rico
by United Press Leased Wire

LAKEIIURST, y. J., April 90
Plans for the dirigible Los Angeles
trip TO Porto Rico were again ten
tatiVely postponed today because of
adverse weather conditions and the
fact that the airship's fabric was
wet as result of yesterday S rain.
While Captain George w. Steele,
executive officer of the airship, said
several hours of sunshine might put
the Los Angeles in shape, he was
doubtful from weather reports if it
would be feasible to start the long
voyage before tomorrow.
The Los Angeles will carry 200
pounds of mail to Porto Rico. Thirty
seven officers and men will be
aboard when the airship sails. The
itinerary covers about 5000 miles.
The dirigible will head far out to
sea before turning south to take adj
vantage of ocean air currents. With
favorable flying conditions it is ex-
pected to be moored to the mast ship
Patoka in Mayaguez Harbor, p. r.,
36 hours after leaving Lakehurst.

Return of Gold
Standard to Be
A Great Benefit
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 30 With
the return of Great Britain to the
gold standard, the world is headed
for general currency reform and eco
nomic principles in the opinion of
informed government quarters here.
Other nations, like France, Italy,
Belgium and Norway, are expected
to go on a gold basis even though
it involves devaluation of their pre-
sent currency units. Germany and
Poland have resorted to this ex-
pcdient with beneficial results.

Last night, the New Edison stood
by Betsy Lane Shepherds side in
the high school auditorium. If
you were there you heard the liv-
ing voice and the Re-Created voice
brought into direct comparison.
You know that there was no diff
ference between the two voices.
By this wonderful performance,
the New Edison has placed itself
apart from all other monographs
and talking machines. 1t alone has
sustained this drastic test. 1t alone
has proved, concretely and conclus-
sively, that it gives you the living
performance Of great artists.

NEW AIR 8 HIP
ENGINES
ASKED
Recommendation Made to
Navy Is Months Before
SHENANDOAH Crash
BY DAVID p. SENTNER,
International News Service

LAKEHURST, N. J., Sept. U.s.
A recommendation to the Navy De-
partment for substitute engines for
the dirigible Shenandoah was made.
presumably by Commander Zach
airy Lansdowne, fully fifteen months
before the airship crashed to earth
in Ohio, September 8, killing Com
mander Lansdowne and thirteen
members of the crew. it was
learned. today.
Capt. G. w. Steele, commander Of
the Lakehurst naval air station, con.
firmed the report of his recon-
mendation to international News
Service Captain Steele said the
plans for new engines had not
reached the experimental stage.
This recommendation for a change
of engine power, which did not
materialize before the Shenandoah
loss, was considered significant by
aviation experts following the testi-
mony of Colonel c. G. Hall, army
aviation observer aboard the airship,
given before the naval court OF
inquiry here that the loss of the
Shenandoah was indirectly due to
the failure of two of its engines.
The recommendation recorded in
communications between Lansdowne
and the bureau of aeronautics in
Washington, it was said, suggested
that three S00-horsepower Packard
engines be substituted. for the five
3O0-horsepower engines installed in
the Shenandoah at the time Of her
destruction during a western storm.
Colonel Hall testified that he be-
lieved if the Shenandoah had been
able to use her full engine power
she would not have been drawn
into the storm.

Instead of proceeding north on
