SENATE VESTRlS PROBE
is FAVORED BY WAGNER
Legislator Wants to Determine
Whether Laws on Safety at
Sea Are Adequate.
Rv the Assoclated Press.

ny ttie ASSOClaCeu PreSS.
NEW YORK, November 20.-Senator
Robert r. Wagner, Democrat, New York,
believes a. senatorial investigation of
the VestriS disaster should be made to
determine whether the laws on safety
at sea are adequate.
1T Is obvious that the bodies which
make the laws should investigate their
working out" he said. "a senatorial
committee looking into the Vestris dis
aster should find, first of all, whether
the laws governing safety on the seas
are adequate. If they are found to be
lacking in any way it is the duty of
the Legislature to obtain better, more
thorough laws.
I'm the second place, the committee
should find whether there are adequate
provisions for the enforcement of safety
laws and whether they are working
satisfactorily. If they do not, 1t is
again the duty of the legislators to find
the remedy"

 Study Foreign Flying

Washington, April 26 UP)--TNo 0
 other American heroes of the air
 may make European tours this sum-
 mer, in addition to Charles Lind : bergh's projected tour.
 Lieutenant Lester J. Maitland, who with Lieutenant Albert C. Hcg- enbcrger first spanned the Pacific by told the United Press today he
 hoped to sail for Europe in June 10
 make a study of military and com- mcrclal aviation in the principal countries, He expects Heg.nberecr
 to accompany him, if the necessary army authorities.
 As yet the trip is only tentative, Maitland said. and no details have
 been worked out. The army t1icr said that for the time being he was more interested in ompleting history of
 aviation in America upon which h"
 has been working for several weeks.
 The book, to be entitled Twenty five Years of Flying" will deal with the development of aeronautics from the time of the famous flight of Or- vile Wright at Kitty Hawk, N. C., in 1903. until the present day of trans oceanic and endurance flights, mili- tary aviation and commercial air
 services.
 Maitland is now on a two months leave of absence. writing his book. but he has been assured that his leave will be extended to give him at least six weeks in Europe. Hcgen-
 berger. now stationed at Dayton, O., probably will be granted a similar leave.
 The two airmcu will not take an airplanc abroad with them. Accord ing to Maitland, his study of Euro
 pcan aviation will consist of flying the various types of army and com
 mercial ships now in service on tlc continent. He has decided to visit
 Germany, France, Italy and per
 haps several other countries.
