took the air." The alleged state
ment, of KaSsay was made last
night, McDermOtt claimed.
Revealed His Plans
Kassay, employed as a me-
chanic at a Zeppelin plant here,
told fellow workers of his plans,
the prosecutor said. 1t happened
the fellow workers to whom Kas-
say spoke were Department of
Justice agents, working beside
him in the plant, according to
McDermott.
Opinion was divided as to what
inspired Kassay, according to
prosecuting officials. Some of
the officers said that the former
Hungarian naval officer was a
fanatic" Others linked him in
an international Communist
plot"
Ship Is Not Damaged
Officers of the Zeppelin COM
pany said Kassay was arrested on
information furnished by the De-
partment Of Justice agents. They
said that no attempt had been
made to damage the airShip and
that under the system of in
SpectiOn at the plant such an at
tempt would be fruitleSS.
A search Of KaSSay'S home fol-
lowing his arrest resulted in e
discovery Of a quantity of Com
muniStic literature, a picture of
the airShip, known as the
Akron" and several letters.
KaSSay'S wife, Mrs. Gorda KAS-
say, also was questioned nv Of
ficials. Mrs. Kassay told inves-
tigators she and her husband
were married IL years ago and
came to this country after the
world war. KaSSay was natur-
allied in 1926, she said. The
Kassays have one daughter, who
is now visiting in Cleveland.
Offers No Resistance
The suspect offered no re-
sistence when he was taken into
custody by city detectives.
That plOtterS may be at work
in the airship dock where the diri-
gible is being constructed was re-
ported to have been suspected a
month ago when a heavy iron
bar fell mySteriOusly from a great
heighth into some Of the AkrOn's
machinery.
Officials at the Goodyear-Zep-
pelin plant today were inclined to
doubt the possibility that any ex-
pert. regardless of his ability,
could cause disaster to the ship
because it is being thoroughly
tested daily.
Exact date for the completion
of the giant ship has not been
determined but it is believed the
maiden flight will not take place
before August. Dedication of the
craft probably will be held some
time in June or July.
Sabotage against the NaVy'S
new giant dirigible. now under
construction in the Goodyear-Zep-
pelin plant at Akron, has been
under investigation by Depart
ment Of Justice agents for six
weeks, it was revealed here today.
Minute inspection of the work
disclosed that two rivetS in one OF
the fin joints Of the big dirigi, |"
had been omitted, apparently de-
liberately, but this defect has now
been remedied, and all other work
performed by the men under SuS-
picion has been carefully checked
and re-checked against other de-
fects.

Van Herik, on the witness

a crime against the State to his

CONSCR|PT|ON.
Of INDUSTRY
Rep. Collins, Mississippi, Says
War Department Aims at
MiIitarization of Labor

The War Department is secretly
evolving a plan for militarizatlor
of industry in time of war, includ
ing conscription of labor, Repre-
sentative Ross A. Collins CD o.
Mississippi declared today.
The statement was based upor
a study of the "War Department
plan for industrial mobilization
$780," which was devised under
the national defense act as pre-
paredness measure.
Would Modify Plan
Collins, a member of the House
Military Affairs Committee anc
the commission to take the profit
out of war, plans to inaugurate
campaign to modify the depart
ment'S plan. He declared:
81 have no objection to the
department making proper pre-
parednesS for expansion Of the
military force in time Of war,
including procurement Of sup
plies, but this plan goes far
beyond this"
At present, he said, about Isl
officers and 300 clerks are work
ing on the industrial mobilization
plan. Under the plan, $4,000 in
duStrialists have accepted commits
Sions in the organized reserves
He added:
"In addition young men are
given three months training in
the War Department, sent to
colleges nine months and then
placed in factories for six
months.
Would Be Officers
"In all they are thus given Is
months of specialized training
in factory work and manage
ment. In the event of hOstilitieS,
these men would become Of
ficerS and would take charge of
the factories of the country and
operate them under supervision
of the Regular Army"
The War Department plan, he
asserted, "is not mere procure
ment, but either direct or indi
rect control of the factories
mines, transportation facilities
and fields of the country" He
said:
81 am convinced the plan of
the War Department to make
officers out of industrialiStS
will mean milits ~izatiOn of in
duStry.
"The wearing of a uniform
or the giving of military
title does not make an indus
trialiSt a better producer.
Obedience Is Wanted
"The underlying reason,
therefore, is to insure obedience
to the orders of the industrial
military officers, and to i'm
plant the idea of military sub
servience in the industrial
organization.
Civilian / n d u strials are
patriotic. They are hard work
ing and efficient. They do not
need to have the virus of mill
tariSm injected into them to
make them SO."
Collins said the plan includes
under the heading of labor "the
control of prices of labor; control
of labor migration"
Other similar passages, he
maintained, show that the con
troll could very easily, especially
under the shield of the War De
partment, lead to a camouflaged
conScription of labor"

mi Johnny Doeg. national tennis
" champion, after disposing of
three mediocre opponents, to-
day faced the brilliant Sidney Wood,
Wimbledon finalist and Davis Cup
player, in the seni-f1nal round Of the
Newport Casino tournament.
The top seeded titalist has been far
below his usual form this season and
his play against his preliminary OPP
ponents revealed nothing capable Of
stopping Woods impressive advance.
Frederick j. Perry, British Davis Cup
star, was down for a bristling quarter
finals match with George Lott, who
also saw Davis Cup service this year.
In the lower half matches, Ellsworth
Vines, sensational Pasadena youngster,
was pitted against Francis X. Shields,
the Nations second ranking player.
Johnny Van Ryn found his passage into
the second last round blocked by the
unseeded Bryan Grant of Atlanta, Ga.
The doubles play started so late yes
terday that several of the 80 teams
were unable to play their opening
matches. With only four singles on
tap today, the way was open to reduce
the doubles field to the quarter finals
stage.
Clifford Suffer of New Orleans and
Wilmer Allison, former Davis Cup
player, were the domestic stars who
suffered upsets yesterday. G.. Patrick
Hughes Of England accompanied Suffer
and Allison into the discard. Allison S
defeat was due to the spotty plays he
has exhibited most of the season. He
had a commanding lead on Frederick
J. Perry and needed another set to
eliminate the Britisher when he fell
to pieces.
Despite Doeg's unimpressive play, he
was the only third round victor to
stifle his opposition in straight sets.
While Sidney Wood was never in
danger with Gregory Mangin, the keen
Newark competitor forced the New
York stylist into an extra set before
going down to defeat.
