WASHINGTON. April 5. (UP)
All the skill of the ableSt men IN
the United States navy will be
flung into the task of trying TO
learn why the dirigible Akron
crashed through the darkness into
storm-troublcd sea.
The observation-disclosures for
which came yesterday from both
the navy and congrcss-may shed
light on the puzzling problem OF
whether Or not the tragic fate OF
so many dirigibles justifies mans
gallant attempt to conquer the
clouds in lighter-than-air craft.
Even while the tragic details Of
the disaster still were trucking
into the white, squat building that
houses the navy department here,
Secretary of the Navy Swanson
expressed doubt on the value Of
dirigibles.
81 have never been as enthUsl-
astic as some people are over air
Ships" he said. 81 think they are
very vulnerable"
President Roosevelt voiced the
nations grief last night. and sa-
luted those who persisted as men
"who upheld to the end the finest
traditions of the United States
navy"
Dark rumors of sabotage and
overlooking of the Akron raced
from lip to lip until Swanson Eel.
obliged to take official cognizance
of them:
"a careful investigation he
said, "will later determine all the
facts that are available. The AK
ron has operated with notable SUI
cess for a year and a half and has
proved her sturdiness even under
severe weather conditions. This
service should effectively rciute
the early allegation that sabotage
and excess structural weight had
anything to do with this disaster.
at is still too early to venture
to outline the departments future
policy regarding airships. The ar
problem must still be considered
in the experimental stage in many
of its aspects. But like many other
problems, such as gunnery, when
have taken their toll of life, the
navy has had to undertake and 70
solve this problem if possible.
Once more the navy has paid the
toll in life and 10 these who have
been left behind to bear the grief,
I send my deepest sympathy"
He indicated the naval air sta
ton at Lakehurst might be closed
as a result of the tragedy.
Grief lay heavy on the navy dc

zens in connection with an alleged

The communiQuc was issued at
the same time an enabling bill
was introduced in parliament
which would authorize Great Bri-
tain to prohibit importation OF
Soviet goods in all categoricS.
Sir Esmond Ovcy British am
bassador to Moscow who was re-
called recently during the dispute
over the arrests, wired Foreign
Secretary Sir John Simon on
March 12-the day following the
arrests-that conditions under
the present reign Of terror in this
country are without parallel" 1t
was learned.
On March 1G, the communique
said. Sir Esmond held a heated
conference with Maxim Litvinoff,
the Soviet commissar for foreign
affairs. During the conference, 1t
is said, Sir ESmond informed Lit
vinoff that "there appear to be
good prospects of my being not
only the ambassador who opened
relations with the Soviet govern

closed them"

PROHIBITION
TALKS HEARD
Local Speakers Discuss
Problem as Landrith
Fails to Arrive

DR.. Ira J. Landrith, representa-.
tive of Allied Forces. a national
temperance organization, failed
to keep a speaking date in Hen
Jacksonville last night, and a large
congregation that had gathered at
the Methodist church heard n
number of brief talks by local
persons instead.
No word was received last
night and none had come today 10
explain DR.. Landrith's failure to
appear. He is on a southern tour
and has spoken in a number Of
North Carolina cities in the last
week or two.
The Revs. Claude H. Moser, l.,
r. Wilds ard A. w. Lippard took
charge of the meeting last night,
and after Mr.. Lippard had of
fered prayer and Mr.. Wilds had
read the scripture lesson, Mr.,
Moser spoke of the disappoint-
ment occasioned by DR.. Landrith's
absence. The Rev. Mr.. Wilds then
opened a discussion of the tenn
perance problem and in the course
of the evening other talks were
made by J. T. Fain. the Rev. N.
Colin Hughes, DR.. D. B. Martin,
]. S. Sargent and the Rev. d. V.
Howell of Fletcher.
Prediction was made that the
return of beer is merely the fore.
runner of the return of hard
liquors and the saloon, and that
the forces of temperance will
have to resume a campaign of
education which was largely aban-
doned when national prohibition
was adopted and will have to re-
enter politics to elect dry repre-
sentatives to legislatures and the
congress.

VIII Destroy Civilization
if Carried TO Limit,
He Declares

WASHINGTON. April ). (UP)
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
last night warned that if deaation
is carried to it's limit "our present
civilization will be destroyed
Unemployment, he declared, in
creased in March and wage reduc-
tiOns are continuing.
"Thc government salary cut al
ready has started wage and salary
reductions i'm industry-United
States Steel Immediately an
nounccd another salary cut; Pub
lie Service Corporation of New
Jersey cut wages and salaries 10
per cent" Green said in state
mCnt.
The labor leader urged the gov
eminent to adopt a vigorous pro-
gram to put industry 20 work and
men back on normal Jobs, produc-
ing and distributing goods.
Commenting on the increase of
unemployment in March, Green
said:
This increase is particularly
serious since it shows a new rising
trend in unemployment. Last fall
this rising trend had been checked
and the increase was less than
seasonal.
"As long as defation continues
we cannot hope to get out of this
depression. Millions are going
back to the primitive life OF two
centuries ago, and as their stand
ard of living is reduced to starva-
ton levels, industry cuts its &C
tivity and it's earning power until
it can no longer make payment on
debts"
If the increase in unemploy-
ment for the country as a whole
was on the same proportions "a
in the trade unions, Green said,
the total of jobless in the nation
would total more than 100000.
