ASKED CHANGES
Record Read Before Naval

LAKEHURST, N. j., Oct. 2. A
record read today before the Naval
Court of inquiry disclosed that the
Bureau of Aeronautics, in approving
the gas valve system change on the
dirigible Shenandoah, warned the new
system was not fool proof as the
original installation and that extreme
care be taken in operation of the
ship.
Commander Lansd6wne suggested
the change September 16, 1924, and
the Bureau of Aeronautics approved
of the change on May %. this year,
with warning from Capt. f. S.
Land of the Construction Corps Of
the Bureau. u The warning was re-
newed June 16 by Commander Rich
ardson of the Construction Corps
by direction of the Chief )f the Bu-
reau.
Correspondence showed Command
er Lansdowne requested telegraphic
authorization when the Bureau delay
ed approval given "by way Of expert
ment."
Changes Approved.
NOtations on the letters and also
the comments showed that all offi-
GERS of the Shenandoah approved of
the gas valve changes. Lansdowne
argued that the change would re-
duce weight and increase the cruis-
ing radius and also cut down the
rate of diffusion and loss of helium
through leaky valves.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. = Com
mander John Rogers. OF the San
Francisco Hawaiian flight plane
PN9-1. told the Aircraft Board to-
day that development of airplane
service necessitated establishment of
National Defense Department
which included the Army and Navy.
He opposed unified air force or

For permanent and final solu-
tion, appoint the strongest man at
tainable for Secretary of the Ma
tional Defense and give him a good
stan and then let him work out the
organization required. When he is

Commander Rodgers took direct
issue on charges made by Col. Nit
chell and challenged anyone to
make lust criticism" of the ar
rangements made for the Hawaiian
flight, but without mentioning Nit
chell's name. Rodgers declared the
Navy adopted proper tactics and he
was fully satisf ~ he per-
sonnei assigned to make the flight"
Rodgers continued: II cannot see
how the Navy Department could be
held responsible for the failure OF
the flight. Everything was done
that could be done. The Secretary
Of the Navy personally visited San
Diego and ordered the Bureau of
Aeronautics to give us everything
we asked for. This was done. 1

The testimony was in direct con-
