D|R|G|BLE OCEAN
SERVICE PROPOSED
Combined Trans atlantic
Steamer and Plane Plans
Also Made.

Two interesting aviation proposals,
one for super-dfrigible mail, express
and passenger service between the
United States and Europe. and the
other for a combined transatlantic
steamer and tranScontinental airplane
service. tying up at New York, have
been laid before the United States Ship
ping Board.
Both proposals were made as sup
Elemental bids to pending bids for the
purchase of nine crack liners of the
United States lines.
The dirigible proposal was offered by
j. H. Winchester e. Co. and Gibbs Bros,
Inc, who offered to build and operate
in regular ocean service four huge
dirigibles patterned after the 6,50000
cubic foot Navy dirigibles now being
built under Government contract by the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation.
The offer was conditional upon the
obtaining of an award from the Post
Office Department for the carrying of
foreign mail by air under the terms of
the 1928 merchant marine act. The mail
and express service would be conducted
first, with passenger service to follow
Each of the dirigibles would carry IS
tons of pay load, of which Is tons would
be allotted to first-claSS mail and 10
ton Sto express matter
Two-day eastbound service is antici-
pated along the great circle" course
and, because of the prevailing adverse
winds, four-day weStbound service
would be offered by way of the Azores.
The other offer was made by P. w.
Chapman. New York financier, who is
the owner Of the unique new Burnelli
20-passenger high-speed plane now
visiting this city. Chapman's offer was
for regular steamship service, tying up
with transcontinental airplane service
SO as to give the fastest possible service
between points in Western and Central
portions of the United States and
Europe.

GEN. JADWIN, FLOOD CONTROL
PLAN AUTHOR, WILL RETIRE
Distinguished U. S. Army En-
qineer Will Leave Service
August 7.
Returns to Private Life With
Grade of Lieutenant
General.

The man who was given the job of
mastering mighty Old Man River re-
tires August from the profession which
brought him national and international
fame.
He is Maj Gen. Edgar Jadwin, author
OF the Mississippi River food control
plan and one of the most outstanding
engineers ever to serve in the United
States Army. He returns to private life
with signal recognition-a promotion to
the rank of lieutenant general.
Gen. Jadwin is the first Army officer
to be retired as lieutenant general since
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the noted Indian
fighter. And although his promotion re-
suited from distinguished service in con-
struction of the Panama Canal, history
will record as his greatest feat the de-
viSing Of the Mississippi food project.
Job Put Up to Jadwin.
This had been an unsolved problem
since the founding of the Nation. The
disastrous flood of 1927 made it i'm
perative that a plan be formulated to
banks. President Coolidge put the job
squarely on Gen. Jadwin's shoulders.
The task was one of infinite detail.
1t meant sitting information gathered
over a period of 48 years, but after a
hard fight the plan was accepted by
Congress in the Spring of 1928. Work
was begun shortly after to insure that
no such catastrophe inundation as the
one of 1927 ever should recur in the
Mississippi Valley.
So. although his varied career had
included the supervision of many ire
mendous engineering featS, Gen. Jad-
wins greatest accomplishment remained
to be achieved in the last two years Of
his service.
Native OF Pennsylvania.
A native of Honesdale, Pa. born
August 7, 1865, Gen. Jadwin, after his
graduation from grade school, worked
in his fathers store for four years. He
then attended Lafayette College for two
years, but went TO the Military Academy

CHILDREN PROTEST
FATHERS WILL PROBATE
Parent in Last Testament Censured

Samuel L. Berman, David Berman
Naomi Berman and Anna E. Carpet, the
children of Benjamin Berman, who
formerly conducted a store at Twelfth
and T streets, yesterday filed a joint
caveat protesting against the admission
to probate of their fathers will. The
last testament of the father censured
the children for their lack of civility to
their parents and gave each of them
SIS only. The estate is said to- be worth
in excess of 100000.
The will provided that during the
life of the widow the estate should be
held in trust by William II. Labof1sh for
her benefit and at her death should be
distributed among five Jewish charities

of the making of the will their father
was not mentally competent and that
