REPEAL ACTION
TO EASE LOAD
ON ROOSEVELT
Spotlight Shift TO States
Help Washington Meet
Bio Problems.

BIZ Scripps-Ho tCard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - The
passage of the prohibition repeal
resolution probably will shift the
focus Of national attention away
from Washington to the states, and
this will ease the tension under
which the new administration
starts operating March 4, political
observers here believe.
At no time within the last thir-
teen years has the pressure from
both the vets and drys been re-
Taxed in Washington.
The whole nation was turned to-
ward congress and the President for
the first action that would put the
repeal machinery in operation. 1t
particularly has been strong within
the last four years, starting with
the Al Smith Herbert Hoover cam
paign of 1928 the latter's declara-
ton for the noble experiment"
and climaxed with the passage OF
the repeal resolution on Feb. 20.
Directly Up to States
But now the question of repeal is
directly up to the states themselves.
They must elect the delegates to
their own prohibition conventions,
to decide whether they will ratify
the repeal amendment.
Neither congress nor the Pres
ident is any longer in the fore
ground Of the picture, except to
modify the Volstead act legalzing
and taxing beer pending repeal.
And this is a situation that is as
pleasing to congressman as it APP
parently will be TO the new admin
istration. Both will be under very
much less pressure with the prohi-
bition battle out of their way.
President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt and the new congress,
thus should be able to function
more surely, with greater poise;
certainly with greater peace of
mind.
Effect to Be Stimulating
And, faced as it is with innumer-
able national problems, the effect
upon congress, it is believed, will be
stimulating
1t is not unlikely that the shrewd
political leaders in congress had
some such idea as this in mind as
they put through the repeal
resolution.
All recognize that unemployment,
its relief, farm legislation, banking
and railroad and labor legislation,
to say nothing of tax and tariff
issues, will confront the new con-
gress. These can be met with less
confusion, now that prohibition is
out of the way. l

Sutphin Comes From Lakehurst, NJ.
District, Scene of the Akron TRAGEDY

Sutphin represents the district
in which Lakehurst, home Of the
Akron, is located. McGrath's dis
trict includes the Sunnyvale air
ship base on the Pacific Coast.
AS subcommittee members dis
cuSSed the preliminaries of the
inquiry. VinSon advised them to
await the Naval Board of Inquiry
and work in conjunction with the
Navy, but Sutphin said:

make our own investigation. I
won't take just anything they

CALLS 1T HYSTERIA
Delaney declared the Akron
tragedy does not mean that the
United States will abandon build
ing of gigantic airShips. He said:
"AII statements given out that
we will abandon dirigibles are
hySterical. Because this acci-
dent happened, no one is justi-
fled in saying we will abandon
them.

AWAITS CHOICE
Of BOARD
High Ranking Naval Officers
to Be Picked; Rosendah's
Name Mentioned

LAKEHURST, N. j., April 5
G.N.SO.-Naval experts were dis,
cussing among themselves today
the cause Of the Akron tragedy
and the reason for the breaking
up of ship thought to be storm
proof.
Nothing definite will be learned
until the customary naval court
of inquiry is appointed to investi,
gate the disaster. The usual
method of procedure is for the
commander of the naval district
after comforting with the Secre-
tary of the Navy to appoint a
board consisting of high ranking
naval officers. There is also a
possibility that civilian technical
experts may be included.
Will Appoint Board
If this plan is followed-and
Lieut.. Comdr. Jesse Kenworthy IN
charge of LakehurSt now indl-
Gated that he thought it would
the appointment would be made
by Capt. G.. w. Haines, acting
commander of the Fourth Naval
District. which includes Lakehurst
and has Philadelphia for its head
quarters.
When Henry L. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy,
left Lakehurst yesterday, he went
to Philadelphia to confer Win
the ranking officers OF the
district.
Roosevelt was to submit the
names of those proposed for the
inquiry to his chief, Secretary OF
the Navy Claude A. Swanson, who
will then order the men named
to report Immediately.
May Take a Week
The proposed inquiry may take
place within a day or so, but
naval men were of the opinion
that at least a week would elapse
before the board meets.
Undoubtedly Lieut.. Comdr
Charles RoSendahl, former com
mander of the Akron. will be a
member of the board and at
present he is on the U. S. S,
West Virginia on duty in the
Pacific. other men are stationed
at distant stations and it would
be impossible for them to con-
vene quickly. :: =,
It is, of course, possible that
the inquiry will be handled
entirely by the Fourth Naval
District. In that case the board
could be assembled Immediately
at LakehurSt.
The fact that Lieut.. Comdr.
Herbert v. Wiley is expected here
today might indicate that plans
for the inquiry are being hurried.
No official word, however, has
as yet been given out.

many by the German tanker Phoe-

To the Akron'S death toll of 73
must be added the two lives lost
in the crash of the non-rigid Navy
blimp, the J-3. which was forced
into the sea off Beach Haven
while searching for the Akron.
Five of the crew of the J-3 were
rescued. The blimp itself was a
total loss. the bag drifting out
to sea.
Search for Wreckage
Naval authorities at Lakehurst,
N. j., the Akron'S home port, were
ready to concede today that none
of the T3 men still unaccounted
for can possibly be alive.
While the Searchers had given
up hope of finding anyone alive,
they felt they might find bits of
wreckage that will supplement
the tale of the three survivors.

EYE OF THE NAVY
1--WE believe in California
that our cOastline from San
Diego to Alaska is one place
where dirigibles can be used
perhaps not as a fighting unit
but for observation. The
dirigible is the eye Of the Navy
on the Pacific Coast"
The course Of the investiga.
ton, Delaney said. depends some
what on whether the wreckage
of the Akron is recovered.
If it is found, expert metal
lurgical engineers are expected to
be employed to examine the
metal.
When the committee met,
Chairman Vinson told members
it is highly important Ito have
an investigation of the Akron
tragedy in all it's phases"
The committee adopted reSo-
lutions praising the officers and
crew of the Akron and the J-3
for their heroism and in particu-
lar for the discipline maintained.

Hope of finding any one alive was

SENATE IN STEP
FOR IMITATION
Of CURRENCY
Agriculture Group Demands
Move in Reporting Farm
Relief, Mortgage Bill

Demand for immediate adop-
tion of a policy of initiating the
currency was made of the Ad.
ministration today by the Senate
Agriculture Committee in a re-
port recommending immediate
enactment of the new farm and
mortgage relief bill.
Passage of the relief measure
alone, the committee declared, will
not restore prosperity to the farms.
For Stable Dollar
It insisted that the dollar must
be stabilized and the farmer given
a dollar that can buy 100 cents
worth of industrial products.
The report declared:
"NO substantial relief is pos
sible for agriculture until the
policy of deflatiOn is not only
checked but reversed and a sub
stantial sum Of money is ad-
mitted and, If need be, forced
into circulation.
I'VE report that it is not Suf-
ficient to have an ample supply
Of currency in the vaults of the
Federal reserve banks, and that
it is not even sufficient to have
an ample supply of currency in
the vaults Of the national, State
and private banks Of he cOun-
try"
The committee unanimously
recommended initiation. It did not
recommend any particular plan,
since its members were divided
between reconciliation of silver,
reduction Of the gold content of
the dollar, and several other plans.
Federal Reserve Hit
It condemned the Federal Re-
serve system, charging it had
failed" in the recent monetary
crisis. It declared the system had
permitted $25, 900 100000 of bank
credit to be cancelled and de-
stroyed since the start of the
banking crisis.
The bill would confer on the
Secretary of Agriculture power to
fix farm prices, curtail produc-
ton, regulate marketing, license
professors and impose a tax on
processing major farm commodi-
ties.
The measure would apply to
wheat, corn, hogs, tobacco, cot
ton, rice and dairy products.
A huge farm mortgage relief
measure was attached as a
rider" This would authorize q
81, 900 900, 900 bond issue by Fed
eral Land Banks to refinance
mortgages and extend credit to
farmers to enable them to reduce
their outstanding indebtedness. It
called for an interest rate of AZ
per cent on the new agricultural
credit.
The potential effect of the bond
issue on the security market dis
turbed Administration officials.
They were still debating how to
maintain par on the $4,000, 900. 900
bond issue when the measure
merely called for Government
guarantee of interest at 4 per
cent.

April S 0.N.S.O.-Germany still
retains her faith in lighter-than-

construction of a new Zeppelin ex-

spring of 1884.
Despite the British and Ameri-
can reaction to the disaster to the
dirigible Akron, the worst tragedy
in the history of aviation, this was
indicated to International News

With construction work under
