PROBE DISASTER TO J.3|

Lakehurst, N. j., April l3.-(R-
The naval board inquiring into the
Akron disaster and the loss Of the
blimp J-3, which went out to look
for survivors, announced Thursday
that the hearing at the air station
would probably be concluded Satur-
day and continued next week In
washington.
Lieutenant Commander Ralph q,
Pennoyer, Judge advocate. said that
since the joint congressional inquiry
would call several witnesses to WASH
ington, the secretary Of the navy au-
thori1ed the service board to adjourn
next week to the Washington navy
yard. The sessions there probably
will begin next Tuesday.
The board expected to finish the
Akron testimony Thursday and hear
Friday and Saturday the story Of the
crash Of the J-3, in which two lives
were lost in the afternoon Of the day
the Akron went down.
The first witness, Lieut.. F. A. L.
Dartsch, assistant station aerologist,
described preparation Of weather
charts on Monday. April 3, the day
the Akron took off on her last flight.
Weather conditions that morning,
Dartsch said, were such that pro-
jected flight of the J-3 was ''consid-
cred inadvisable."
The J-3, q non-rigid airship, fell
into the surf off Beach Haven, with
the loss Of two lives, while seeking
traces Of the Akron which earlier
In the same day, April 3, crashed into
the waters Of the Atlantic.
The testimony Of the aerologists
concerning the weather conditions
at the time Of the take-off COM
pleted the picture already sketched in
part by the three survivors and the
technicians responsible for the struc-
tural condition Of the ship.
The board, headed by Rear Admiral
H. v. Butler, learned from Wednes-
days witnesses that the Akron was
to have undergone . general over
hauling during the period April Z to
Is. Nine alterations had been plan
ned. one of which was the reinforce
ing Of intermediate frames in the
middle third of the ship. including
the part where two OF the survivors
said they saw Orders buckle before
the ship hit the water.
All three technicians. 1t. Com
mander Edwin r. Cochrane, assem-
bly, and repair officer: Thomas l..
Blakemore, the stations civilian aero
nautical engineer, and p. e. Ward,
civilian chief inspector, asserted they
considered the Akron In sound"
structural condition when 1t left on
its fatal flight.

One Confessing Espionage,

SECRET POLICE MENTIONED
Testimony, However, Fails to
Bare Methods Used BY
ogpu IN Prosecution

Moscow, April l3.-ReTwo Brit
ish engineers accused OF espionage
and sabotage faced each other Thurs
day across the courtroom; one turn
Ing states evidence and the other
denying every charge.
William H. Macdonald. the only
one Of six accused employees Of the
Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical COM
pany to plead guilty when the trial
began Wednesday, amplified previous
testimony to the effect that he acted
under instructions Of L. G. Thorn
ton. another defendant, In gathering
military and economic information
subsequently sent to England.
As Thursdays session began, Mac
Donald caused something Of q sensa-
ton by declaring he had made in
eliminating statements at the time
Of his arrest because Of the methods
OF the Russian secret police.
He said they had shown him q
statement which they said had been
made by Thornton in which Thornton
admitted having used Macdonald to
collect information.
For q moment 1t looked as though
he was going to repudiate his original
confession, but later he acknowledged
his guilt Of all the charges against
him.
Thornton denied confessions"
made at the time Of his arrest, de-.
clartng he had been frightened and
thought he would have q chance to
correct his statements later.
No Expose Of 'OGPU
The audience held its breath for
they expected Thornton to tell what
he knows about how the Ogpu works,
but Thornton ignored the question.
Later he admitted his original state
ment was made without duress, but
he still insisted it was not true.
Macdonald. lame since childhood,
told the court he had collected mill.
tary. economical and political infor-
nation at Leningrad and at Zlatoust
on Thornton's instruction.
He also said he had wrecked ma
chtnery at Zlatoust, where there Is
an important power plant. in an eff
fort to cripple factories making war
materials.
Every time Macdonald made q
statement Of this kind the prosecutor
turned to Thornton.
DO you admit that?" he would
ask.
Each time Thornton's answer was
no. The only information he ever
collected or ordered collected. he said,
was information concerning the oper-
alton Of machinery installed at RUS
sian plants by his company.
He did admit. however, that he had
paid 5000 rubles for current ex-
penses" to Russian named Dolgov,
who was identified as an agent pro-
vacateur.
No Spies In Company
There are no spies In our COM

OBJECTIVE OF TRIP
TO CAPITAL OF j. S,
Tells British Parliament III
Aims At Good Will and
Better Understanding

London, April 13.-(RePrime Min.
lister Ramsay Macdonald, during q
foreign affairs debate in the House Of
Commons Thursday, outlined the OBJ
jective Of his trip to Washington u
an attempt to bring the nations Of
the world closer together, not In al
liances, but in spirit, and to secure
q cooperative effort for q solution Of
economic and political problems.
The premier will sail Saturday.
American policy" the premier said
has always been that she will not
enter into any European entangle-
ment, and would not go, nor would
I ever go and try to persuade Amer
lea to do otherwise than to carry out
that historic policy.
THE only possible exception would
be in the event Of q world agreement
quite clearly defined regarding an ag-
gressor, America having previously
been party to that agreement.
Macdonald declared the world
could not be Indifferent to certain
threatening influences" active In
Europe today.
I'VE must not allow them to OBJ
struct our progress toward disarma-
ment," he said, but we must consid-
er the conditions and be very care
full at the same time as to how these
conditions are to operate"
He said he understood his views
on the European situation were not
unacceptable In other parts Of the
world and II he could further the
spirit Of cooperation among nations
at Washington he would consider his
mission successful.
Dealing with debts, he declared that
neither Americans nor Englishmen
could hide the fact that debt pay
ments have q very important political
effect and that q settlement accept
able to both sides would be one Of
the greatest blessings that could hap
pen.
Macdonald declined to discuss the
details Of the proposed conversations.
but said that whatever discussion on
debts there was would be reported to
the cabinet with any recommendation
he would make and that parliament
ary debate could Be held.

LISTEN. WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

how they thrilled you in antici.
patton! How cold they leave
you now!
Then perhaps the secret of a
real life, a deep life. lies in
successes-getting ahead; put"
ting yourself across? Surely
powerful, famous people are
happy! Are they? Go out and
look into their lonely, dissatis-
fled eyes!
No; the thing you've done
can turn to ashes in your
hands as surely as the thing
you've bought or the thing
you've seen.
Then isn't there any way to
live deeply, richly-to get the
most out Of life?
Yes. there is.
BUT IT'S ALL AN INSIDE
JOB.
You, AND
YOU, ALONE CAN MAKE
YOUR OWN LIFE DEEP, AND
RICH, AND POWERFUL.
Not by owning things: not
by doing things: but by FEEL
ING THINGS and THINKING
THINGS is life made wonder
full!
A million things may happen
around you and to you, and
yet you'll live as dumbly and
drearily as any clam through
all your years.
BUT THE MOMENT YOU
FEEL ANYTHING DEEPLY,
OR THINK ANYTHING
BRAVELY, YOUR WHOLE
LIFE WILL BE CHANGED.
AND THE MORE YOU
DARE TO THINK AND FEEL,
THE MORE YOUR LIFE WILL
BE CHANGED-THE DEEPER
YOUR LIFE WILL GROW.
But, remember; it isn't
enough to just vibrate emo
!,ionally or copycat somebody
else's mental patter. You must
REALLY feel. You must
REALLY think. You must have
the courage to open your heart
and mind to all of life-to
The bitter as we'll as the sweet.
And that won't be easy. For
if you dare to feel, you're in for
many heart ache. And if you
dare to think, you're due for an
awful headache. And you'll
never again be perfectly com.
Portable or confident.
BUT YOU'LL HAVE LIVED!
AND LIFE IS WORTH ANY
THING IT COSTS.
So if you really want life, it's
yours for the taking. This in
stant you can begin to live-if
you have the nerve! And, hav-
ing begun, nothing can ever take
life from you. You may lose
your health and your wealth,
your reputation, and your
friends.
BUT AS LONG AS YOU
DARE TO THINK AND FEEL,
NO POWER IN HEAVEN OR
HELL CAN LOOSE YOUR
GRIP ON LIFE.

Freedom of the Press
A Victory in New Jersey

The New Jersey Legislature has passed, and Governor
Moore has signed bill which provides that newspaper
be compelled testify
printed in his paper.
This it is believed the first law of its kind in any State
If o New Jersey has the lead adopting an
portant and necessary piece of legislation to safeguard the
freedom Of the press
It is obvious that confidence reposed in newspaper should
be entitled to as much respect those reposed lawyer
by client or in physician by his patient
In tact they probably deserve respect since they
usually form the basis Of articles published in the public
interest.
To require reporter reveal them court would result
in the suppression of much which the public entitled
to have.
Individual judges frequently have attempted to force this
testimony by holding reporter who refused testify
contempt.
In 1929 two particularly grant this occurred
In Cleveland judge sentenced editor to JAIL and in
Washington, D. c., another judge handed down similar
sentence against three reporters.
The Washington reporters employees of The Washing
ton Times, Hearst newspaper. They had written series
Of articles exposing the booggers and prohibition raceteers
IN the Nations Capital Their information which
pletely accurate obtained in confidence
When they refused to violate their promise and give the
names OF their nformants to the court they
to foryve days in the District Columbia Jail and served
their TERMS with five days off for good behavior.
Both the Cleveland and Washington attracted nation
wide attention and created nationwide Indignation Since
then courts have shown marked reluctance impose
tempt sentences under similar circumstances
In New jersey however the courts are now deprived of
this power by enactment of the Legislature.
It would be forward step for the freedom of the press
and the rights of the public the fortyseven other States of
the Union would follow New Jerseys enlightened example

Various Departments

There is the most hearty
cooperation, under the lead

the Commander-in-C Chief, be-
tween the four Federal de-

assigned the task of enroll

100000 volunteers for the
work to be done in our ma
tional and State forests by

Corps.
The Secretary of Labor
has undertaken the selection
of the volunteers for this
work with the aid of ap-
propriate agencies in the

Be WelI-ROunded

Don't be so interested in your
own home, your personal friends,
your hobbies and your principal
line Of work that you can't stop
long enough to find out what
those around you are doing.
In other words, don't be self.
centered.
OF course there must be a
certain amount Of concentrated
effort to be successful in what
is undertaken.
But to look around occasion
ally is to have a lot more re-
spect for the intelligence and
ability Of your friends.
Also you might learn some
thing.
You should have an ambition
to be normal and sane in your
efforts.
The Washington times., 1933-05-23
ONCE OVERS

You should want to be we'll
rounded individual.
To expand on only one side is
disastrous eventually, whether
it be a tree or a person so
deformed.
Keep your balance in all
things.
It is very true that certain
kinds of work require an un-
interrupted application to build
up, and that to stop in the
midst is to spoil the train Of
thought that directs the prof.
ect.
But there should come a rest
period commensurate with the
effort.
A change Of occupation is
restful. To get out in the sun
shine helps.
