AKRON WAS NOT STRUCK
 BY LIGHTNING

New York. April 5-UP)-The essential cause of tho crash of the Akron remained a mystery today. Available information from sur vivors appeared to establish that the ship was not struck by light ming. did not catch fire, and suffer- ed no explosion.
 Dr James H. Kimb ball, associate e meteorologist of the weather burea u here, considered one of the fore- most experts on aviation weather, believed the dirigible was struck by vertical air currents" which com bined with the swirling horizonta 1 winds of an off-shore rainsquall to twist the framework of the Akron, making It manageable.
 Lieutenant Commander Herbert V. Wiley. ranking survivor, describ- ed graphically how tho Akron, crippled because its rudders had been disabled, plunged downward after 1t was caught in the seeming center of the gusty squall which trapped the ship but his state- nents shed little light on whether the dirigible actually was manglcd by the wind or fell from some other cause.
