War Department Report on

Forwarded to Senate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt sent to the Sen

renee seaway project would be $70,-
100000 annually.
The treaty was still before the SEN
ate, Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor,
OF Minnesota, speaking in its favor
The War Department report showed
its estimate was based on q calcula-
tion that the export and import tom
mage over the seaway annually would
amount to 100000 tons.
The net cost to the United States
was estimated by the department at
power project would carry S89, ,726, ,75O
as its share Of the cost
Completion OF the seaway, said the
report, would enable TO per cent Of the
worlds ocean freight cargo tonnage to
reach the Great Lakes and st. Law
renee ports in the United States, serv-
ing an area with As OOO,O 900 population
In his speech, blame for opposition
to ratification was placed by ShipStead
at the door of the banking masters of
the Nation" and the railroads, which
he termed their "errand bows"
Meanwhile, another attempt for a
reservation to the treaty appeared to-
day, Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Hi

STEEL CODE PRICE
CLAUSE ATTACKED
Trade Commission Contends
Agreement Would En-
courage Monopoly.

A memorandum criticizing the price
system and other parts of the steel
code as conducive to monopoly has
been sent to President Roosevelt by the
Federal Trade Commission, according
to a copyrighted article released today
by the Associated Press.
The memorandum has not been made
public and copies of the 25-page docu-
commission and other officials con-
cerned, but, the Associated Press said,
it was learned in high official quarters
that it informs the President of pricing
and other practices under the codes

Recovery Administration officials said
they had not received copies of the
memorandum. although they said con-
ferences between recovery and COM
mission officials concerning the price
clauses and other sections had been
held. White House officials refused to
discuss the matter.
The price system In the code Is the
major point of attack. 1t Is known as
the multiple basing point system, and is
the outgrowth of the famous Pittsburgh
plus system which the steel industry
voluntarily abandoned under a commits
sion decree in 1924.
The commissions memorandum arg
ues that the multiple system may still
permit monopolistic practices in the
steel industry, and the commission has
received complaints of this intent. The
memorandum further says the price
system was given the authority of law
by the code, although its legality has

Contract Signed for Balloon
For Ne,U StratosPhere Flight
Bag to Be Used by Geographic Society
Army Expedition Will Weigh
Over T,UO Tons.

Signing of the contract for the con-
balloon, to be used in the National
Geographic Society United States Army
Air Corps stratosphere flights in an
effort to rise Is miles above the earth,
was announced here today at the head
quarters Of the society, which is assem-
bling equipment for the flights and
supervising arrangements for the COL
lection Of scientific data.
The balloon is to be built by the
Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation Of Ak
ron, Ohio, builders OF the airships
Akron and Macon and Of the 100000
cubic-foot balloon used by Comdr. Settle
in his stratoSphere flight of last No.
vember.
The United States Army Air Corps
has assigned two expert balloon Off
cers-Maj. William L. Kepner, pilot.
and Capt. Albert w. Stevens, observer
to man the 0,000-cubic-foot balloon
and to take aloft the gondola filled
with delicate scientific instruments.
Will Weigh Over 2 Tons.
Two and third acres of cotton fab
ric will be used in making the balloon
bag, and It will have a capacity of g.
100000 cubic feet. Together with its
necessary bands. ropes, valves and
other attachments, but not including
the gondola, the huge bag will weigh
slightly more than 2ll2 tons. The gon-
dola, the crew of two men and the in
Struments and equipment, and the bal
last will bring the total weight to be
lifted to nearly 8 tons.
The balloon will not be entirely filled
out by its gas until it reaches its cell

huge sphere it would be possible to
build an History office building with
width and depth as great as its
height.
When the balloon rises from the
earth, only partly inflated, 1t will be
shaped like q gigantic exclamation
point. with the round gondola repre-
senting the period. AS the gondola
leaves the ground, the top Of the bag
will be 295 feet above it-approximately
the height Of 27-story office building.
Novel Safety System to Be Used.
The balloon fabric will be impreg-
mated with rubber. The spherical gon-
dola. with its freight Of men. instru-
ments and ballast. will be suspended
from the balloon envelope by a system
of ropes attached at 100 points around
the bag. These suspension ropes will
converge to load ring. and from this
10 supporting ropes will extend down.
ward to the gondola.
Because Of difficulties that have been
encountered by balloonists in the past
by reason of the jamming Of valve
ropes, and because Of the impossibility
Of operating the ropes at high attitudes
through the air-tight wall Of the gon-
dola, Capt. Stevens has designed q
novel safety system for operating the
gas valve. A small tube will connect
the valve mechanism near the top OF
the bag with the inside Of the gondola,
and compressed air used to open and
close the valve, just as a camera shut
ter is operated by squeezing a bulb. or

pressing Of q lever.
It will require approximately four
months work to complete the huge
balloon bag.

INJURIES DOC
GR|FFNEN
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, May 1S.-Base-
ball is quite like the theater in
that the show must 60 on regard
less of what happens.
Buddy Myer, crack second
baseman, and Jack Russell, star
pitcher. were spiked yesterday in
that 14-to-6 orgy which saw the
GriffS fall before the Cleveland
Indians. AS a result, Manager
Joe Cronin today had to figure
out another lineup.
Today the dope was to the
effect that both Myer and Russell
will be lost to the Griffs for some
while, which Of course, comes as
a distinct blow to the team, but
which means that Manager
Cronin must rely on his reserve
corps possibly during the re-
mainder of this important
journey.
Yesterday, the young pilot used
Red KreSs, the infielder recently
acquired from the Chicago White
Sox, in Myers place, while he
called upon Alec McColl to handle
the relief role as Russell'S substi-
tute.
But today, Cronin had different
plans. They were for Ossie Bluege
to play second base and General
Alvin Crowder to become first
relief pitcher. The Bluege part
Of these plans will be definite
until Myers return, but Alec Nc
Coll will be given another chance
to fill in as a rescue pitcher later
on, providing his arm suffered no
i'll effects following his turn on
the mound yesterday.
Earl Whitehill was going along
at a better than average clip yes
terday until the Griffs' infield
went hay-wire in the third and
again in the fifth.
But Russell's spike injury in
the fifth was the real turning
point of the game since had Jack
been able to continue the Indians
might have been held at bay. the
Griffs probably would have been
able to overcome the Tribes 7-to-6
lead, and Alec McColl would not
have had to be called upon to
pitch at a time when he was not
quite ready.
