Halbert ignored Shank's pleas
for leniency.
The dead victims were Alvin
Colley; his wife, Ethel, "a, and
their two small sons, Clarence, 7,

Poison in Grape Juice
The attorney said that while
Mrs. Colley was preparing lunch
he placed strychnine in five cups
containing grape juice.
One child, Clyde, 3, survived
because he took an overdose of

voice, told authorities he had
seen Shank pour something in

First Glass Fighting Man

The greatest men who ever
lived had that fighting spirit.
Men who never knew when
they were beaten. Washington
was that breed of man, and so
was Grant and Theodore Roose-
velt, and the Roosevelt who
rules in the White House today.
And Dempsey, although he has
walked in humble paths, and
although his fighting has been
of the primitive kind that is
hardly changed from the dim
ages when a mans Drawn was
his only defense, is that kind
of man.
Ten million years of evolu-
ton and ten thousand years of
education and culture and re-
ligion have not eliminated that
old, deep-seated admiration for
first-class fighting man,
whether he battles with his
brains or his fists. That is why
gentle, gray-haired ladies go to
prize fights and why timid, ell
derly gentlemen spending their
lives in offices glory in the vio-
lent deeds of Western story and
Western picture heroes and
brass commandments and Smok-
ing guns.
That is why all the Leagues
of Nations and Washington con-
ferences and Locarno treaties
and Kellogg pacts dwindle into
pathetic ,futility; why war and
the glamor of war remain and
will remain for hundreds Of
years to come. remain probably
until the last trumpet is
sounded.

hostile airplanes to be concen-
trated over land to attack air
ships.
But at sea. the Navy can en-
ploy airships to excellent ad.
vantage in scouting and patrol
work. Enemy airplaneS can be
fought off by the airShips own
airplaneS and guns. 1t is diff
cult at sea to bring about that
concentration of enemy air
planes against an airship
which an army would find a
simple task over land.
AS a mother ship for air
planes for offensive work, the
large airship plays no part. Her
airplaneS are only for her own
defense and for transporting
officers and intelligence to and
from surface vessels. 1t is the
defensive power of the dirigible
that makes it so valuable to a
well-rounded navy.
The Washington times., 1933-06-06
Their Legacy

Those European nations,
therefore, that are opposed to
the development of the dirigible
are in reality opposing an in
crease in defensive naval
power.
Admiral Moffett, one of the
heroes lost on the Akron, was
enthusiastic about the future of
the airship both for American
defense and American trans ,
port. He estimated that an ait
ship operating with three scout
cruisers could double their e..
/ fectiveness as scouts. The air
ship can survey three times the
sea area per day that one scout
cruiser can. On this account
the Pacific. with its great dis
tanceS and its American island
outpoStS. seems to offer the
best field for the use Of Amer
lean airShips as naval scouts,
If the congressional commit
tee finds, as competent wit
nesseS have testified, that the
Akron was well-built, we'll
powered, and in good condi-
ton when she was steered into
instead of away from the
storm that destroyed her. il
will be the duty of the Con-
gress to provide ways and
means by which the faith Of
the Akrons heroic dead in
that type of airship may bH
vindicated.
1t has been truly said:
"The prudent sees only the
difficulties, the bold only the
advantages of great enter
prise; the hero sees both, di
n1inishes those, makes these
preponderote, and conquers."
No Congress, quickened by
the heroic spirit of the gallant
officers and men of the Akron
who made the supreme Sacri'
flee in the service ''of a great
enterprise" will finch from
going forward in the noble ira
dition that is their legacy to
the country they died to de-
fend.

Dirigibles at Sea

But the members of the COM
mittee appear to be firm IN
their purpose to get at all the
facts that competent witnesses
can give them regarding the
value of dirigibles in the de-
fense of this country. And the
committee has been fortunate
in obtaining the assistance as
counsel of a distinguished law
yer and a former Assistant Sec
retary of War, Col. Henry Breck-
enridge, of New York.
Authorities on American de-
fense are we'll aware of the i'm
portance which the investiga-
ton of the loss of the Akron
holds for the future of our ma
tional security. The art OF
building airships of the Zeppelin
type has been transplanted to
this country. The Versailles
treaty prohibits their building
by Germany any more for her
defense. Other European ma
tions lack the enterprise to go
ahead with the experiment.
The United States must lead
the way if the development OF
this type of airship is to be con-
tinued. There are now in this
country all the agencies essen
tial to the building up Of an
airship industry that will sup
ply airships for defense and air.

Congress was quick to honor
the memory of the gallant
heroes of the Akron, after that
Navy dirigible was destroyed in
an April storm off the New
Jersey coast.
The tribute of the Congress
took the form of a concurrent
resolution, which was promptly
agreed to by both houses. This
resolution created a joint COM
mittee of five members from
each house to investigate the
cause of the Akron'S loss and
to make recommendations re-
garding the future use OF dlrlgl-
bles for the defense OF the
United States.
Extensive hearings have been
held by this investigating com
mittee. Col. Charles A. Lind
berg headed the list of COM
petent witnesses called by the
committee to give testimony.
In the light of the evidence
developed at these hearings the
committee will soon report to
Congress it's findings.
AS chairman of this COM
mittee, Senator King of Utah
has given an impressive exam
pie of how a congressional
inquiry ought not to be con-
Quoted. His prejudice against
the national defense, his lack
of information in regard to 1t
and his rhetorical sentimental
ity about foreign policy have
naturally handicapped his con-
duct of the investigation.
