Lansdowac stated that experience
gained by the Shenandoah 5 trip 10
the Pacific coast showed that the
slip could operate with fewer auto

Of Project at Club
Gathering

In an address delivered today at
the luncheon Of the City Commons
club in Berkeley, Lieutenant Gov,
ernor G. c. Young strongly endorsed
the Swing johnson bill, and en-
plSsized the Importance Of controll-
ing the Colorado river, not only to
Imperial Valley and South On Cali
fornia, but to the entire st j..
The speaker outlined to three
essential features of the Swing
johnson bill as providing adequate
flood control for Imperial Valley.
reclamation of nearly half million
acres of what is now .arid land,
through the construction of the All
American canal. and the develop
ment of badly needed hvdro-elec
tric power with which to increase
tie industrial activities of the
state through the construction of
Boulder Canyon dam.
Stresses Future Needs
Referring to the future needs of
Southern California for additional
water power, the lieutenant-s COVER
nor called attention to the Metro
ralitan Water District bill, which
was defeated at the last session,sof
the legislature. He criticized the
attitude to the administration
which was opposed TO the bin by
pointing OUT that following its
defeat the people of Los Angeles at
.t+ ~ 4 !
ions of the bill, and five former as
semblvmen who opposed the bill
were defeated in this election for
membership on the Los Angeles city
council.
Young charged the " financial
group, including owners of lands
in Mexico and the allied power in
forests with being the chief OPP
pcnents of the legislation which is
seeking in the state legislature and
in congress to develop the Colorado
for the use of the people.
Gives Potent Reasons
In conclusion the lieutenant gov
erlor set forth three reasons why
the northern part of the state
should support the Boulder Canyon
project. These were:
l.-Construction of the dam will
conserve the fuel oil supply by say
ing approximately 25,00O,00O bar
rels of oil each year through the
development of hydro-elcctric pow
er.
2.-Bouldcr Canyon dam will pro-
teet Northern California from en-
crcachments by Los Angeles and
other Southern California munici-
nalities seeking aylition;. water
and power supplies.
Sit has been demonstrated that
whatever benefits either section of
the state is an asset to the state as
a whole, and with both sections
working i'll harmony for each others
interests, California will umtilmate-
ly lead the nation in wealth and
population.

Plane Commander
Takes Issue With
Colonel Mitchell
Opposes Critics Scheme or Unified Air Service and
Absolves Navy Departm ent From Blame IN
Recent Flight Across Pacific

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A stir
ring defense of the navy depart
nent against attacks by Colonel
William Mitchell was made today
before the special aircraft board by
Commander John Rodgers, leader of
the unsuccessful Hawaiian seaplane
flight and the last witness heard be-
fore the board adjourned until Mon
day.
Rodgers was given tremen-
dous ovation by the crowd when
he entered the committee room.
Rodgers opposed the Mitchell uni-
fled air service plan.
- The unified proposal,' he said,
: would defeat the chief advantage
that it purports to gain, namely,
control of airplanes by air Off
GERS
Rodgers sprung a surprise when
he testified in contradicting the
seven naval aviators who yesterday
advocated the separate corps plan
as the only remedy for existing
tdeplorable conditions.
Absolves Officials
Rodgers absolvcd the department
from all blame for failure of his
flight.
= Had we had the wind with us
and the gas mileage we estimated
Rodgers declared, we would have
reached our objective."
Rodgers threw his full weight
against Mitchell's unified air pro-
posal and also voiced opposition to
the separate air corps as advanced
by other naval pilots.
He recommended establishment of
secretary OF national defense ia
control the army, navy and supplies.
Under this system, the secretary of
the department would have three as
Slstant secretaries charged with
miuistering the three divisions.
Answers Col. Mitchell
Rodgers defenbed the navy de-
partment from attacks by Colonel
William Mitchell for the failure of
the Hawaiian flight and the Shen-
andoah disaster.

Makes Witty Sallies
In drill style, Rodgers levelled
criticism at some phases of the man,
agemcnt of the navy. He kept the
board and the huge crowd laughing
with his wit in replying to inquiries
by members.
Rodgers said the aviation prob

FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS
HERE ON SATURDAY
Beverly F. C. To Play Pendale AT
p. r. r. Grounds.

The Beverly F. C. Football team
will play their first game of the sea-
son this Saturday, September Goth
on their home grounds opposite the
P r. R. Station.
The local boys have been practic-
ing three times week for the past
three weeks, under the watchful eye
of Coach Beugules, of Rutgers. For
this reason Managec Smith is look
ing forward to the most successful
season since the Field Clubs organi-
cation.
Most every one of last years regu-
lars, who made up last seasons win
ming combination, will be on hand
to start Saturdays game.
Several newcomers, who look ex-
ceptionally good, win also be on hand
to show their ability at handling the
pigskin. Pope, Cornell freshman
quarterback of 1924 and Bobie APP
plegate, South Jersey All-Scholastic
STAR are two outstanding candidates
among the recruits.
The one worry shadowing the hor
lion is the attendance. They ask for
the support of every sporting fan in
Beverly, as they are under a greater
expense than ever before.
Therefore, everyone is urged to be
ON hand for the first game and let
the boys see that their efforts in try
to put Beverly on the football map
are not in vain.
