GAVE LIVES ID CONSERVE HEL|UM
Safety Valves on Ship Insutf-
 cient German Expert Says

Toms River, N. J.. Sept. 4 (Pl- Captain Anton Heinen, former Ger man dirigible pilot and construction adviser in the building of the Shen- andoah, said today that the removal of eight of the IS safety valves on the dirigible's gas bags, was the cause of yesterdays disaster and that the victims of the crash "gave their lives to save this precious helium."
 In the storm the craft rose too fast for the remaining valves to let off sufficient gas, he said, the up ward movement of the ship causing rapid expansion of the gas bags which broke the shell of the ship in the middle.
 q would not call 1t murder,' said Captain Heinen, but I cannot put 1t too strongly, that If 1t had not been for the foolshness in cutting down the number of safety valves the crash would not have occurred"
 Captain Heinen said that the ship should have been able to discharge 21.000 cubic feet of helium for every c4o feet that she rose above height of 5000 feet and that he had understood from Commander Klein that she was nearly filled with helium when she left the station.
 If the ship had been filled with hydrogen the disaster might not have occurred, he said because the hydrogen would have waived more freely than helium and there would not have been the same reluctance to save 1t if at all possible. Insisting that the Shenandoah as originally designed was the safest thing in the world" Captain Heinen asserted that due to the reduction of the number of valves which was made about six weeks ago, he would not have gone on the dirigible for a million dollars.
 Tt was not safe with valve changes" he added "The men that went and knew of the changes were brave. indeed"

eeived, even if one would be con sidered now after the loss of the Shenandoah. Which leaves the pos- sibility that she may be further em- ployed by the navy. although not a military craft, in such ways as are permissible in further determining tho navy's future program as to dirigibles.
 Whatever decision Is reached as to the Lakehurst station and the Los Angeles there will be period of ne- forced inactivity for both of several months at least. The loss of helium In the wreck of the Shenandoah leaves on hand only about half of the volume of gas necessary to in- Hate the Los Angeles.
 A new water recovery system was recently installed in the Shenandoah and 1t was necessary to cut two big rings inside the gas bag near the center and rivet them together again. While there was some sug- gestion that weakness developed from this work, Lieutenant Com mander T. S. Boyd. second in com- mand at Lakehurst said that the ship had been carefully inspected and tested the day before Its departure.

J.S. NAVY UPSET
 E BY AIR TROUBLES
Department May Close Lake. hurst Station. ..Helium Lost

Washington, Sept. { R,-The disas- trous loss of the dirigible shenan- doah apparently has thrown the navy's whole future policy with re- spect to lighter than air craft de- velopment into state of uncer- tainity.
 Out of this may come a decision to close down the navy's air station at Lakehurst. N. J. Secretary Will bur Is now considering the best course to pursue. and has a definite plan In mind, but will discuss the matter widely with naval experts before announcing any decision.
 The collapse of the Shenandoah, occurring In the shadow of the fail ure to find trace of the missing PM No. 1, plane in the attempted non- stop flight to Hawaii has not broken the navy's determination to carry forward aircraft development to the utmost, but Secretary Wilbur has de- creed that the rewards must be equal to the risk.
 He thus has ordered the plane PB-1 which was planning to hop off from San Francisco for Hawaii to- day In the wake of the missing plane, to abandon the effort. Unless very positive reasons develop to warrant it, he said, the flight will not be made.
 We have had enough trouble for a while" the secretary said, land we don't want to hazard the lives of other men until we have some definite reason for doing so.'
 Third Reverse Recently
 As Its third reverse in recent weeks, the navy also Is contemplat- ing the failure of Its planes to achieve their major mission with the MacMillan expedition in the Arctic. From all of these, however. Secretary Wilbur draws the reassur- ing conviction that In the expanse of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans the United States has a bulwark of de- fense of which there need be little fear of penetration by present day enemy aircraft operating from an overseas base.
 The navy department already has under construction future program with respect to dirigibles, and the Los Angeles and Shenandoah In particular before the disaster to the latter ship yesterday. How far this will effect the program not only In its hearing on the problems Of en- gineering science involved but the attitude of, congress as well, remains to be developed. Mir. Wilbur, said, however. that he plans to confer widely on the matter and might have an early announcement to make as 10 a decision.
 The secretary declined to say whether or not the .Tskehurst station would he closed. but no other official denied that this step was in pros pect.
