LAKEHURST, N. j., April II
UN.SO.-The naval board ap.
pointed to investigate the crash OF
the dirigible Akron, with the loss
Of 73 lives, has ended the Lake
hurst phase of it's inquiry after
having heard the stories Of Lieut..
Comdr. Herbert V. Wiley, Boat
swain's Mate Richard e. Deal and
Metalsmith Moody E. Erwin. The
inquiry is to be resumed in Wash
ington tomorrow.
Knowing the Akron, having rid
den on the Shenandoah, and hav-
ing studied the stories and teSti-
mony before the naval board, I
believe I can visualize exactly
what happened in those last mo-
ments on board the Akron.
Difficult To Control
To begin with the sudden action
Of the gas was largely to blame
for the crash. For despite the fact
that helium gas is noninflamable
and therefore has a. safety element
not possessed by the hydrogen gas
formerly used in dirigibles, it is
Just as difficult to control under
sudden changes of temperature Of
the air.
Understand, the Akron was 49,
6O0pounds overWeight-that much
in excess of the weight prescribed
In the original specifications.
Drops Are Sudden
So you have a ship with mega
tive buoyancy. Only one who
has ridden a gas-inflated dirigible
can appreciate the speed with
which changes in temperature
affect the ship. There are sud-
den drops and rises that Sicken
even the most experienced flier
Of airplanes.
Under such flying conditions
the Akron encounters a storm.
Lieutenant Commander Wiley
has. stated that if permitted to
use his Judgment he would have
selected another course than that
ordered by his captain.
Gas Contracted
The rain and fog had quickly
contracted the heliu1n gas, max
ing control of the ship more
difficult. Efforts were made to
rise above the fog. Cold air
there caused still further con-
traction. Then the ship ran into
o wind shift line" In every
storm such as the Akron was
facing there are two sides, on
each the wind moving at high
speed in opposite directions, with
one side cold.
The Akron plowed into the
middle Of the cold slide. There
followed further contraction of
the helium. With negative buoy
ancy and loss in lifting power
through the contraction of gas,
the Akron began to settle heav-
fly.
Like Hitting Ground
Then came an order to blow
the forward ballast, to try to
force the ship up by the bow,
1t was still settling rapidly, with
q "shudder from stern to stern"
With the helium gas contracted,
It's lifting power reduced, the
steering apparatus gone or weak
eoed, there was no hope.

NO ASSURANCE YET ON FRANCE
 PAYING DEBTS
But If She Does Settle
 That$2O, O,OOO, ,O0O It
 Will Be Welcomed By , U. S.

Washington, Mar 16-(UP)- Payment by France of it's defaulted war debt installment of $20, 0,0o0.0o0 would be "doubly welcome" to the United States at this time. it was said today at the state department.
 This was the departments reac- ton to press reports that France was considering the payment. Off, cials said, however, that hey had received no assurance of this through diplomatic channels.
 The statement that the payment would be welcomed was interpreted to mean that by discharging it's defaulted obligation France would place itself in better position to negotiate for revision of it's entire $4,000,000,000 war debt.

SECRET SERVICE MEN HUSTLE TO
 KEEP UP PACE
"ActiOn, That's Us, Pal" Says. BOdyghard, As They Try to Keep With Their Boss

Washington, March 16-CUP)- Action, that's us, pail" In these words Gus Gennerich, secret service man and bodyguard extraordinary, strikes the keynote of the new na- tional tempo set by his boss, Pres ident Rooseevlt.
 Cabinet officers and newspaper men are weary from their attempt to keep up with the pace set by the president.
 The second week of his admin istration found MT. Roosevelt to- day still the lightning change ar- tist as he forged ahead with divers parts of his program to bring the nation out of the economic dold- rums.
 He continued to disregard White House custom by lunching at his desk in the executive office. A brief half f-hour meal snathced in the midst of work is what he enjoys. Usually he has someone in to share the food served to him by McDuffy his colored butler, the pride of Warm Springs, Ga. MT. Roosevelt has wasted no
 
 | ural address, less than 15 minutes long, summed up in succinct fash ion what he intended to do. Thus far he is sticking to the letter of that speech.
 His first message to congress, an appeal for legislation to straighten l out the banking situation, was a model of breyity. Close on the heels of that document came a second | message asking for greater execu- tive authority to enforce sweeping | economies.
 He called for beer legislation in a 72-word message that astounded
 a nation accustomed to lengthy 1 announcements from official l sources.
 Anything can be said in 500 worlds" MT. Roosevelt once said, and he is saying things of prime importance in fewer words than that.
 His daily routine further exem- plifies his program of action. Cabinet officers do not wait for the formal breaking up of meet ings with the president. They quit the conferences to go about their work when details of interest to their departments are disposed of. Through it all the president has maintained his characteristic good humor and smile. He has a cheery "good morning. for the White House staff and an equally cheery good night" after la greulling day.

 UNDER MANDATE
Nation Will Retain At Any Cost the Former Ger man Archipelagos They Now Occupy

Tokio, March 16-UP)-A de- termined stand against surrender of mandated islands was reported to have been taken by the Japanese cabinet and diet today, meeting to discuss Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations. The ver- nacular press understood the gov ernment unanimously agreed to re- tain at any cost the former German Archipelagos, obtained under man. date from the league.

Efforts were made to-day by members of the police department to learn the identity of witnesses to a serious automobile accident last evening at the corner of Cooke and Hopkins street. Miss Alice Kearney, 60, of 31 Bishop street, is in a critical condition at St Mary's hospital as the result of be- ing hit by a car driven by Arthur Reynolds of 39 Cooke street. Miss Kearneys name was placed on the danger list last evening shortly after her admission to the hospital. There has been no change in her condition.
 Reynolds is being held on his own recognizance pending an in- vestigation by the police, and the outcome of Miss Kearney's injur- ies. Miss Kearney was crossing Cooke street when struck. She was picked up by several persons placed in a car driven by William Dunphy, former police commits

Machiasport, Me, March 16 --(U. P.)-From here to Virginia, Coast Guard craft to-day watched for the three-masted schooner Lucy Eve- lyn, unreported for three weeks.
 The schooner, with Captain John Mitchell of Harrington and five other men aboard, sailed from southwest harbor for New York February 22 with a cargo of pota- toes, fish and lumber. She should have reached her destination with in a fortnight at the latest.
 Chief hope that she was still afioat seemed to .lie to-day in the possibility that contrary winds car- ried her far off her course.
