OUSTINC OF
PALMER NOT
AUTHORIZED
By President and Coolidge
Thinks Crowley Should Have
Consulted Him

WASHINGTON, Oct. l0,-Presi
dent Coolidge is incensed over the
action of the shipping board in outs
ing Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, presi
dent of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration, and recognizing the per.
sonnet without consulting him in
any way whatsoever.
His feeling in the matter was
made plain at the white house FRI
day, when there was official expires
sion Of Coolidge's reaction for the
first time since he returned from
his trip to Omaha, during which the
shakeup occurred.
The president, however, has not
decided what he will do, though il
was said he will find out first what
the law is in the matter. He prob
ably will ask the attorney general
for an opinion. AS yet, he has
made no such request.
Coolidge thought it strange"
that Elmer Il. Crowley should take
the position as president of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, sue
ceeding Palmer, without first con-
sulting him as to his acceptability.
Crowley was chosen by the board,
and has assumed his duties. The
president also considered it unus-
ual that other shifts were made
without consulting him.
Coolidge was much surprised at
the shipping boards action in outs
ing Palmer and making other chang
es in his absence. He had appoint
ed H. G. Dalton, of Cleveland, as
his advisor in the long-continued
controversy, which was agreeable to
Chairman O'Connor Of the board,
Commissioner Benson, democrat,
and to Palmer, and had thought that
any action would have awaited a
report from Dalton on the situation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Mrs.
Margaret Ross Lansdowne, widow
of Commander Zachary Lansdowne,
took direct issue Friday with Secre-
tary Wilbur before the naval court
Of inquiry on the question whether
her husband did protest against the
mid-continental flight of the Shen-
andoah.
Recalling that Immediately after
the wreck she had asserted that her
husband had lodged a protest
against the flight and that the ma
val secretary had followed with a
statement that no protest had been
made, Mrs. LansdoWne said one OF
her reasons for appearing before
the court was to emphasize that her
assertion had ben substantiated BY
official correspondence read into
teh record,
This correspondence, she added
consisted Of her husbands letter tt
the chief of naval operations, rec
ommending postponement of the
flight until the second week in Sep
TENDER and the making of a trial
flieh ito Detroit to test the moor
ing mast. Both of these recommen-
datiops were disapproved by the
gB}e 2fof the naval operations.
Because of weather conditions
during the thunderstorm period in
the middle west" Mrs. Lansdowne
continued, t'the long legs { of the
flight on rigid schedule and the
untried mast, MY husband was very
much opposed to this flight and pro-
tested as vigorously as any officer
is allowed to do to his superiors.
"My husband also felt that the
Shenandoah being our only fighting
airship, should be treated like a
man of waaEused onyl for war prob
lens, and should not be taken on
commercial strips inland simply to
give tax payers a look at their
property"
The widow of the airship COM
n,ander was dressed in black. She
walked rapidly to the witness chair
and stood without tremor as the
oath was administered. At the end
she said firmly: 81 do" in response
to the injunction to "tell the truth
and nothing but the truth"
After she had identified heself as
the widow of the Shenandoah's
commander she began the reading of
her stament. She read in a firm
and clear voice without interrupt
ton to the finish.
Commander Lansdowns protest
ed against the flight as vigorously
as any officer 81 allowed to do,
Mrs. Lapsdowne declared.
Every one knows that in Mill
tary or naval services" she said,
orders are given to be obeyed."
My husband also felt that the
Shenandoah, being our only fight
ing airship should be treated like a
nan of war used only for war prob
ems, and should not be taken on
commercial trips inland, simply to
give taxpayers look at their prop
erty."
