u. S. MAY soon
NATION ALIZE
The COLORADO

PHOENIX, Jan. "A prophecy that
before any development is started
on the Colorado rivre, congress will
nationalize the stream and name a
special commission to handle it as
a unit, was made in speech here
today by Thomas l1. Campbell, form
er governor of Arizona and until
recently chairman of the special
fact finding committee appointed by
the secretary of the interior to in
yestigate reclamation projects.
The speech was the first public
question that has been made by
Campbell since the seven state COM
pact was framed at Santa Fe, N. NJ,
in 1922.
"If the basin states could enter
into an agreement among themselves
for the development of the river such
procedure would have taken definite
form seven years ago Campbell
said "The Colorado river now has
become national question and is
back in the United States congress
again and that is just where it is
going to be decided.
1--WE cannot get away from the
fact that the federal government
controls all interstate rivers. The
Colorado river does not belong to
Arizona-it belongs to all the people
of the United States
1--WE may talk about the various
damsites on the Colorado river. he
asserted, but the federal government
will have the final say as to where
these dams will be built"
Commenting on the efforts to
reach an agreement between the
said lower basin states regarding
a division of the water, Campbell
said that the agreement would have
to receive the consent of the upper
basin states.

FORD AIRPLANE COMPANY Will.
BUILD GIANT METAL DIRIGIBLE
TWICE Size OF THE SHENANDOAH

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Completion of
the designs for the largest metal
clad airship in the world, two and
one-half times the size of the Shen-
andoah, to be built by the Aircraft
development corporation at the Ford
Airport, Dearborn, Mich, was an
nounced tonight by Carl F. F'ritscro,
general manager of the corporation.
Speaking at meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical Engf-
neers, Fritsche said that the ship
will be luxuriously equipped for COM
mercial use but in the event of war
can be equipped for military purposes
in 4S hours. Another smaller ship,
one-tenth the size of the SHENANDOAH
also will be built, he said.
The larger airship will have q gas
capacity of 100000 cubic feet, and
the smaller a capacity OF 10000

Crisis In Unionizing
Effort In Indiana Will
Come Early Next Week
(By Dispatch 4. 2. WIZ;

EVANSVILLE, md Jan. r. The
crisis in the situation in southern
Indianas non-union mine field
brought about by efforts of union
miners to unionize the district viii
come early next week when the cru,
sading union men will attempt to
extend their influence beyond the
counties already affected.
With only two mines operating in
Vanderburgh4 and Warrick counties,
and those shafts whose owners have
consented to union operation, the
miners plan to invade Monday the
Princeton district, the last stronghold
of nonunion operations.
Attempts of the Bosse coal COM
pany today to operate their shafts
with nom union workers, as announc-
ed Wednesday, virtually failed since
too few men were available to make
operations effective.

) Both ships VIII be fire proof, light
ming proof and weather proof, Mr..
Fritsche said, none of which require
ments are fulfilled by fabric lighter
than air craft. The smaller will be
used for demonstration and expert
mental purposes.
Discussing the future of lighter
than air craft, Mr. Fritsche said:
"The transcontinental metal-clat;
commercial airship of the future will
show an operating cost of fuel and
power plano charges Per passenger
mile not greatly il excess of the
present cost per passenger mile of
touring in a. first class limousine
automobile"
He expressed doubt that airsh4ps
eyer will be used extensively for
transatlantic travel, since too mucn
of the available space would have to
be used for fuel.

FAVOR LAND STRATEGY
Swimmers Attempting to Cross English Channel Favor "Land- lubber's" Plan Against Tides.

Boulogne, June 5 Op)-Swimmers attempting 10 crosa the English Channel this year favor a line or attack mapped out by a land. lubber' to cope with the tides, as against the advice of both French and English pilots.
 The course and the proper time of entry into the water have been worked out by Il railroad engineer, M. Douai, who has been a channel swim fan for several years. Douais pain was adopted by both Enrique Tirabocchi of the Argentine and Charles 10th of Boston, who cover cd the distance in 1923 in much quicker t.me than the three men who preceded them in crossing the channel.
 Whereas seamen have maintained that swimmers should enter the water with the falling tide. Douais plan calls for the start to be made four hours before full tide at a cer- tain spot near Cape Griz Nez. Here an ebb current carries them toward tn channel until rising tide takes them toward the North Sea. After between fifteen and seventeen hours in the water the swimmer is then caught by an ebb tide and borne toward The English coast.
