CHR|STEN DIRIGaE
AKRON TOMORROW
Giant Ship to Be "FIoated''
After Mrs. Hoover
Does Ceremony.
Nv the Assoclntsd Prrss.

BY the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, August 7,--when Mrs.
Herbert Hoover. wife of the President
christens' the new airigible Akron to-
morrow, the ship will be air born or
floated, corresponding to the lRgQchilig
of an ocean vessel. but the task ef
setcal flight Is expected to come In
about three weeks,
II Is no small task TO guide a strlir-
ture longer than a 5o-story skvscraper
and higher than an History building
against capriciouS wind currents and
sudden changes in temperature. For
this reason Lieut. Comdr Charles E.
Rosendahl, who viii be captain of the
dirigible, and his officers are here busily
engaged training the crew to the work
of the ship.
How wen the contractor has perform
ed the task of construction Is something
for the Naval Board of inspection OF
five to decide. Five trial flights of the
ship are planned. the last one of 40
hours duration. According to David S.
ingalls,. assistant Secretary of the Navy
for Aeronautics. the ship must be in
the air at least rs hours before the
Navy accepts It.
Must Go Through PAGES.
The ship must be tested for speed: Il
must go through altitude trials; tests
must be made upon the rapidity with
which it can take on speed and slow
down; her lift will be measured; in
terror ventilation and pressure equaliza-
ton studied fuel consumption de-
ternsined, and internal strains and
reflections observed.
The ship Is operated more like sub
marine or ocean liner than an airplane.
according to Lieut. Conndr. Herbert v.
Wiley. second officer in command Of the
Akron. and former skipper of the Los
Angeles. The control car is forward,
protruding from the under surface OF
the hull
~An enlisted man has the wheel, and
he steers the ship very much like You
would q surface ship. In ordinary
straightaway flying he just holds the
ship on compass course.
Altitude Controlled.
"At the left in the control car Is an
other wheel governing altitude. Another
enlisted man stands at this. and the
officer of the deck, one of the watch
officers, Is also in the cabin
1.-THE altitude man has the real tob.
He has to be good. for he has to CO.
ordinate so many things. He has hts
instruments to tell him II the ship Is
rising or falling: he has his sense of
feel and by day he usually has the
horizon to guide him. The direction
man usually Is a seaman or third-class
petty officer, but the altitude man Is O
first-class or chief petty officer.

Waters Dried Up.
Biologists Of the department, who
have toured thousands of miles in the
drought affected regions. report that the
great sloughs. ponds and lakes OF the
prairie region where the ducks breed
are about 90 per cent dried up In those
tours the biologists report that where
in former years there were vast num-
bers of mallards, pfntails,a redheads,
canvasbacks. bluebills and teals only q
few dozen small broods OF "quAckers"
have been seen.
So far as can be determined at this
time. the ducks have found no other
more remote breeding grounds and
there simply will not be the vast flights
of ducks this year that have heretofore
blackened the waters of the Atlantic
Coast
While not all the ducks shot In the
United States come from the affected
jority of them do.
u. s. Grounds Suffer.
There are considerable duck breeding
grounds in the United States, but these
are suffering from the effects Of last
years drought. The drought conditions
in the Northern plains States westward
to the Pacific Coast include Califor-
mia, Colorado, Idaho Montana, Nebras-
ka, Nevada, the Dakotas, Oregon and
Washington. In Montana alone the
Biological Survey has found IS per cent
of the ponds, sloughs and shallow lakes
where ducks breed dry.
In South Dakota, where heretofore
mallards bred plentifully, no ducks
have been found this year.
Some little rain has been reported In
the past few weeks in the dronght-af-
fected areas, but this water comes too
late to help the ducks.
Ducks are protected under the mi
gratory game bird treaty between the
United States and Canada Regulations
governing their shooting are promul-
gated within the bureau of Biological
Survey, upon the recommendation Of
the men In the field and the division
chiefs. They then go to the Secretary
Of Agriculture, who adopts them, sub
1ect to the approval of the President.
Last year an inkling of what was
coming was cleaned by the Department
Of Agriculture, and the Federal regula-
tons governing the shooting of ducks
reduced the open season this year by
two weeks. The conservation experts in
the Biological Survey are unanimous in
the belief that this will not serve to
adequately protect the birds.

COOPER DENIES CHARGES.
u. S. Judge Named by Reed Calls
Article "Wet Propaganda"

ALBANY, N. Y, August R).--
Judge Frank Cooper of the United
States District Court of Northern New
York, charged in a magazine article
by ex-senator Reed with directing the
laying of traps for bootleggers, declared
the article to be merely wet propa-
ganda"
Judge Cooper's reply to the Reed
article follows:
THE charges made against me in
the article by ex-senator Reed of Mis-
souri, were completely disproved in the
attempt made in 1927 by certain wet
Congressman from New York City to
impeach me. All this is a matter of
record in Washington.
THE repetition of these statements
is merely wet propaganda 1t is to be
regretted that so many newspapers and
magazines lend themselves so readily
to the efforts of those who would
destroy prohibition. It is also q great
source of regret that ex-senator Reed
a man who aspfred and perhaps still
aSpires to the high Office OF President
of the United States, should allow him
self to make such baseless attack on
our Government.

constructive thought and action and
not for demagogic propaganda on in

Al-4emen at the Cameo Shows Scenes of One
Native State Not Yet Seized by Empire

Yemen, the only independent Ar
abic state that isn't ruled by the
Wahabis, has a king called Yahya
To the imperialists of the world, his
name sounds more like "Nein, nein."
Yemen has voluntary array Of
tribesEaen who carry modern rifles,
but wear knives instead of bayonets,
and interrupt a column OF squads to
pull off wild aboriginal war dance,
at times, when they are on parade.
So far, they have kept the coffee
groves and fisheries of Yemen from
British capital. In fact, the govern
ment hasn't even let the usual Holly
wood trayelcgues take pictures of the
country; the first was taken by Mel
rabpomfilm, of the Soviet Union, and
you can see the picture now at the
Cameo.
In spite of the fact that the Imam
Yahya is on friendly relations with
the Soviet Union, the only friend a
colonial nation has, the film honest
ly exposes the class oppression in
Yemen. Back and forth, back and
/ forth, you see first scene of ter
rible poverty, of grinding labor at
fishing, of porters carrying enormous
loads on their backs for a trifling
wage. of peasants toiling in the cactus
and coffee gardens with short hand
