President Faced BY Open Re-

BIZ GEORGE r. HOLMEs

President Coolidge Is speeding
back to the Capital today to con-
front a situation in which his au-
thority has been nouted as it has
not been during his occupancy Of
the White House.
The flag of rebellion against
White House policies flew today
from the masthead of the United
States Shipping Board, and the OPP
ponents OF Coolidgian ideas are
temporarily, at least, in control Of
the Governments great fleet of
merchant ships.
The board has retaliated for the
Presidents action in ordering a
special investigation OF it's activities
by ousting Admiral Leigh Palmer
from the Presidency of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, to which
position he was appointed at the
direct order of Mr.. Coolidge. The
deciding vote in this act of in
surgencey, incidentally, was cast by
member of the board whose
resignation was asked by President
Coolidge some months ago, and
who firmly refused to resign, Bert

NEW YORK, Oct. There

death of james e. Hargreaves.
but there was no doubt in their
minds that his end came as he
had hoped. When he passed his
eightieth year, with 275 cross
ings to his credit, he told his
friends:
"When the time comes, want
to die at sea. / crossed it so
often because / love it, and !
love it enough to want to die
while crossing"
Mr.. Hargreaves, eighty one
years old, slept into death just
after the Adriatic pulled out of
Liverpool on the trip that ended
here. A steward, who had
served him often, saw him lying
too quietly in bed and called
Doctor Fleming, ships surgeon,
but Mr.. Hargreaves' heart = had
stopped. His body was taken
off at Queenstown.

Congress apparently is heading
straight for another investigating
rampage this winter.
Its inquisitorial appetite sharpened
by the Teapot Dome and Daugherty
Investigations, Congress this year
is going to bring out for public
gaze a new assortment Of Federal
activities.
From plans being made today
by members of the House and Sen
ate, the number of inquiries is to
be legion, and will be directed at
practically all the important Fed
eral departments. If these plans
are carried out in full, Congress
will spend much Of its time in COM
mittee rooms interrogating wit
nesses.
Perhaps the most exhaustive in
quiry will deal with the whole sub.
ject of aviation. Without doing
some delving OF it's own, Congress
Is not going to be satisfied with the
recommendations of the Presidents

By WALTER JOHNSON

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 7.At the
start of this world series witt the
lPittsburrt Pirates, OR second in
as many years. / must say that
the spirit Of the Washington club
could not be better. Clark Crit
fifth says that in all his experience
he has never seen a team so pos
sessed with the determination to
win. Griff has been around a
long time and ought TO know what
he is talking about. I quite
agree with him, though my ex-
perience does not go back % far
as his.
The Washington club as an or
ganization is a wonderful bunch OF
gamesters. There isn't q man IN
the daily lineup who is afraid of
taking a chance no matter what
that may be, If it will mean vic
tory, or even getting an edge over
an opponent.
For several years Sam Rice played
just $3.50 baseball. His team was
never up there, and he just con-
tented himself with doing mis- best
without inspiration. Where Sam
got his inspiration was during the
1924 season. Suddenly one day he
thought We might win the pennant.
From that day to this he has been
a different player. He is game
to the core and will do anything to
win. sew him dive headlong into

troit, trying for a long foul liner.

MOFFETT SAYS
5-5-3 RATIO
GUARDS US.
Admiral Tells Board Adequate
Air Force Is Vital
to Navy

The American fleet, if MAIN
tanned on the 5-5-3 ratio laid down
bv the disarmament conference,
can defend the United States
against all threats of enemy air
invasions, Rear Admiral William
A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of
Aeronautics, told the Presidents
Dir board today.
To keep the navy second to
Eone in the world, Moffett added,
It must be given an air force
equal TO the best among foreign
nations because the effect supreme
in the world will win the next
war"
To Answer Mitchell
Moffet appeared before the COM
mittee to reply to the charges of
Colonel William Mitchell, deposed
army air chief, and to discuss di-
versified plans for improving the
air service, proposed by a score
of army and navy f1iers.
Moffett warned, however; that
naval aviation is so undermined
and underequipped at present. due
to economies. that the navy would
be crippled in event of war.
81 claim that as long as our fleet
Is not evenly balanced as to it's
aviation, in material, personnel,
guns, torpedoes. mines, and men. +"
said Moffett, sit will be crippled.
And If it goes into war without
making up it's present shortage in
men, planes, and guns, 1t will be
lost, our fleet defeated, and the
war lost.
Planes Held Vital Factor
IAN army can get along without
airplanes, as witness the Riffs in
their war, but the navy cannot.
The fleet, which is supreme in the
air, will win the next war"
Moffett revealed to the board that
the navy now plans to build new
dirigible, to replace the Shenan-
doah, but three times as large as
the lost airship. The Los Angeles,
he added, is too small to meet the
navy's requirements for rigid air
ship.
Touching on MitchelIs charges
that the loss of life in the Shen-
andoah disaster was due partly to
lack of parachutes, Moffett declared
they had been tried out and aban-
doned because they interfered with
operation of the ship.
"Parachutes cannot be used on
rigid airships, such as the Shenan-
doah," the admiral testified. Para
chutes would prove awkward in
lighter-than-air craft. Then men
must move about quickly, climb
through small matches and the pack
OF parachutes would retard their
movements and handfcan narration
of the ship. Even IL a parachute
were handy for an emergency, it is
a question whether a man could
jump clear of the ship. The psy-
Geological effect Of parachutes on
the passengers and crews of an
airship is bad.
Opinion Against Them
"In case of fire, parachutes might
be of some value, but even in Ger
many they have not found their use
advisable. In fact. the concensus
