RIOT DISASTER
KILLED BRITONS'
AIRSHIP FAITH
Death kneII to DirigibIes So
Far as Opinion of Pub
lie Is Concerned.
This Is The second and last article en-
she inauiry into the R-IO1 disaster By
England.
BY II. L. PERCY,
United Press star Corresoondent

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The appalling
disaster to the British airship, Rl01,
IN which forty-eight lives were lost,
sounded the death knell Of airships
80 far as Britain Is concerned, &C
cording to a consensus OF the
public.
Stunned by the catastrophe, the
worst in airship history, people
generally have expressed the opin-
ION that as means Of long-dis-
lance travelling, large airships we're
not feasible.
Even on the same day as the
crash, Oct. 4, employees at the air
snip works, Cardington, Bedford
shire, from which the fatal flight
70 India was started, declared that
the works would be closed down
and the RICO, Britains only other
large airship. broken up.
Depends on Simon Report
Events during the last three
months have not, however, fully
carried out these predictions. The
tate Of airsF1ip development in this
country depends entirely on the
governments policy as the result
OF the report Of the inquiry which
Is now proceeding, headed by Sir
John Simon.
Whether this policy will favor
future airship DEVELOPMENT IA hard
20 say.
1t Is pointed out that the govern
ment lost more than 81, 900 900 when
the Rl0l crashed, that public senu-
ment Is opposed to airships, and
mat the Labor governments sane
ton of the expenditure OF more
money on airsfips would probably
react unfavorably.
Interest on RICO Future
At least it is certain that there
Will be no building for many
months, II only because, even before
the R10l disaster 1t was decided to
devote the next year to the develop
ment Of mechanical handling Of
airships rather than the develop
ment Of the ships themselves,
The most immediate problem, the
solution of which greatly Is intrigu-
ing the public. is the fate Of the
ROO. The same size as the R1Ol
before the latter had an extra bay
added, the RICO has come through
all her tests with flying colors.
At the present time she is being
repaired and overhauled, after her
fight to Canada and back, at Card
ington.
Dirigible Staff Depleted
The gasbags have been debated,
and the outer covering, which had
become rather worn, has been re-
moved.
No new cover Is to be fitted, how
ever, until the government decides
what it Is going to do.
In the meantime a depleted staff
of 500-one- third were taken of the
pay roll a few weeks after the Rl01
crashed--is making minor repairs
and keeping the R101 in condition.
Whether she flies again, or dies,
depends on the government, and
government action depends on the
Simon report.
