ROPER ORDERS PROBE.
Full Federal Inquiry to Be Made in
Ships Crash.


A full investigation of the sinking
of the Nantucket lightship yesterday
by the liner Olympic has been ordered
by Secretary of Commerce Roper, who
announced rlanS already are under
way to replace the Iost vessel.
Meanwhile, temporary use is being
made of a Coast Guard boat dis
patched to the Nantucket Shoals to
protect ocean traffic from the hazard
there
Roper declined to comment on the
fatal collision pending the investiga-
ton. He did. however, extend his
sympathies to the families of the men
lost in the accident.
1t was believed here that the Olym-
pic, following the ligntship's radio
signals through the dense fog, ap-
preached too close to the vessel before
attempting to change her course
About three weeks ago a similar
mishap was barely averted. when a
liner swept 30 close to the Nantucket
lightShip that the antenna yards we're
swept away. As a result of that mar
row escape the Lighthouse Service
issued warning to mariners on May
2 against the possibilities of collision
The lightShip occupied a station"
Secretary Roper said, mot only of
first importance in guiding transat-
lantic shipping approaching our coasts,
but Of considerable peril because of its
location Al miles from land, in the
track of hurricanes and in an ocean
area traversed by heavy marine
traffic and often. as was the case yes
terday, blanketed in fog"

One of these was urged by former

making his first appearance in pri-
vate capacity representing local liquor

ley. handling liquor control legislation,
laid before the committee the Com
missioners' Endorsement Of this bill.

DAVIS WILL ATTEND.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States busted off its
seat at the Geneva Disarmament Con-
ference today in the official belief
that world peace is "a righteous
cause"
Secretary of State Hull gave that
explanation for the return to the
conference on May 20 of Norman H.
Davis, chief American delegate, de-
spite the slim hope held for any
success.
Hull's statement followed a confer
ence between President Roosevelt and
Davis at which it was announced the
arms envoy would attend the next
Geneva session despite widespread
predictions of almost certain failure.
The United States. Hull explained,
would be represented at the confer
ence If for no other reason than to
emphasize to the world that this Ma
ton Is an advocate of disarmament
and peace through any honorable
means
Davis will return to Geneva with
no new Roosevelt proposals.

LICENSING POWER
OF N. R. A. MAY END
Sharp Claw of Blue Eagle to Be
Shorn Unless Congress
Saves It.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A sharp claw that the Blue Eagle
has never used is destined to be shorn
away one month from today unless
Congress saves (which seems un-
likely.
1t is. the licensing provision of
N r. A.. giving the Government direct
control over industry, if invoked. 1t
says the Government can require every
unit in an industry to obtain a Fed
eral license to continue operations.
Hugh S. johnson has said more
than once that he is satisfied to let
the licensing power die at the ex-
piration date, one month from today.
President Roosevelt has not seconded
that statement, but many consider it
unlikely he will ask renewal.
Some observers have felt that the
licensing power, an extreme weapon
designed for emergencies, might be
tied up in the courts If the Govern
ment tried to use it against recalci-
trant industry.
Although the licensing question is
not expected to come before Congress,
other aspects of N. R. A. may before
the session is over.

The result of the whole business is
that the silverites in Congress place
all the blame for the trouble on Mr.
Morgenthau They believe the Presi.
dent wanted to go ahead, but that
Morgenthau is strongly anti-silver
and wanted to block the agreement
1t is all right for them to think
that, If it makes them feel any better
but those on the inside know Mr.
Morgenthau does nothing except what
Mr.. Roosevelt wants.
1t is the duty Of a good Treasury
Secretary to take the blame.
At one Of the White House silver
conferences Mr.. Roosevelt interposec
and asked the boys to step into tn,
next room. saying:
Il do not Udnt to break up the
conference, but ! must haze my

GERMANY SEEKING
HEARING ON ARMS.
Makes Attempts to Return
to Disarmament Con-
ference.
By the Associated Press.

by the hSSOClaLcQ FTeSS.
GENEVA, May 16.-Germany was
reported today to be seeking ways
and means of returning to the Inter-
national Disarmament Conference
from which she withdrew last year.
1t was understood that Baron Pom
peo Aloisi, Italy's delegate to the
League of Nations, had told Capt.
Anthony Eden, British lord privy seal,
and other leaders in the League OF
Nations, that Germany is showing a
disposition to participate.
This indication Immediately aroused
new hopes in circles which previously
had feared that the idea of disarma-
ment was dead.
The attitude of the United States
gave rise to additional hope. since
Norman H. Davis has been assigned
by the Washington Government to
attend the conference scheduled for
the latter part of the month.
Louis Barthou, French foreign min
ister, indicated that he was optimistic
that something would be done to-
wards disarmament, pointing out the
gravity Of the situation which would
ensue if no action is taken.
However, the French seemed de-
termined to do nothing concrete
until the council gives a new mandate
to replace the existing mandate fer
reductions, upon which the present
conference is based.

I,AHINCH, Ireland, May 16.-Plan'
for a round-trip fight to Rome ano
then a return transatlantic hop from
ireland to New York, were announced
today by Capt. George Pond ano
Lieut.. Cesare Sabelli.
They hope by this performance tc
retrieve any honors that may nave
escaped them through their forced
landing on the attempted nonstop
flight to Italy.
Early this afternoon such progress
had been made on the repairing ol
their plane that they believed there
was a good possibility OF getting away
for Rome within 48 hours.
Fuel Connection Breaks.
Shortly before their landing, safe
after a narrow escape from death IN
the Atlantic, the main connection be-
tween the gasoline tank and the mo-
tor of their plane broke. The under
carriage was damaged in landing.
The aviators covered the distance
from New York in 80 hours and
minutes. They brought their craft
down at $50 pm. local time (2:3O
pm. Eastern standard time). They
took off from Floyd Bennett Field
New York, at 6:24 am, Eastern stand
ard time, Monday.
In continuing toward Rome. they
planned to halt at Port Marnock
Strand from where Sir Charles Kings
ford-Smith, Australian airman. who
taught Pond blind flying, hoped on
his fight to America.
The pair appeared in good spirits
and health after a sound sleep in
Lahinch hotel. Lahinch is 2 miles
from the small field, about an acre
in size, where the landing was made
near the tiny village OF Moy.
SabeIli Describes Flight.
Lieut.. Sabelli told of the horrors OF
the ocean crossing.
After about % hours of blind fly
ing" he said, trouble developed with
the engine. We lowered the plane
and at first thought of attempting to
alight in the sea. Fortunately, the
trouble was cleared up" This was
about 400 miles from Ireland.
On another occasion the gasoline
choked, but Sabelli left the cockpit,
climbed out to the reserve tank and
cleared the flow. Otherwise the plane
would have been forced down in the
Atlantic.
Even with these fortunate breaks" I"
had the planes gasoline line broken 10
minutes before it did, the craft would
have been forced down before reach
ing the rock-bound coast of County
Clare-one of the widest regions in
the British Isles.
Capt. Pond frankly said it was the
worst experienceY he ever had.
Met Fog All the Way.
1--WE saw absolutely nothing from
the time we left Newfoundland until
we reached Ireland. We encountered
wind"
Pond bore most Of the flying bur-
den, owing. he said. to the fact his
air mate had had no experience in
blind operating.
The aviators said they had brief
glimpse of Harbor Grace, Newfound-
land, from which they received a
signal, and also glimpsed one ship.
Otherwise they saw nothing except
fog and rain the whole trip
1t was the sight of thatched roofs
on humble Irish cottages that con-
vinced them of their whereabouts
when seeking a landing place. Their
reckonings already had indicated they
were nearing Ireland.
Their plane was fueled for 40-hours'
flying when they left New York. They
had 20 gallons left today-"enough,"
Pond said. ito get us to Rome"
