SAYS A|RSH|P
WEAKENED IN
OLD ACCIDENT
Continued from page II

Always Made Inspection

below the port fin, Davis said.
Always Made Inspection
Temporary repairs were made
over Texas and when the Macon
reached Florida the break was re-
paired permanently and strength
ened"
was that Texas casualty extra
ordinary?s a board officer asked.
Ut was the first on the Macon"
Davis replied. I'VE had hit bumpy
weather over Texas and I would
say that the break was caused by
an upper bump on the port fin"
Observers at the hearing regard
ed as significant the testimony Of
Davis that as soon as the Macon
entered sQually weather off PIT. Sur,
shortly before the disaster last
Tuesday night, he hurried to the
stern and inspected the fins.
When asked why he went to the
stern first, he said:
"I have always figured that the
fins comprised the most important
part of the ship. Everything SEEM
ed to be in good condition.
From where was standing I
could see part of the fin when I
heard the crash. I saw it give
way. Immediately, I noticed gas
coming from No. l cell. I got
kind of dizzy and started forward.
THE ship was noSed upward
and walking was difficult. AT
frame 81, I telephoned the control
car. The line was busy. The ship
was at such an angle that the gas
was rushing upward, so I continued
toward the bow.
when I got to frame ITO l got
orders to get the planes ready to
drop them. BY the time l got to
the hangar, the ship was at such
an angle that it was hard to get
the planes out. Upon reporting
this to the cabin, received orders
to delay it.
The ship had reached an alti-
tude of 5000 feet and began to get
on a more even keel. Then 1t
started settling back and soon we
received orders TO abandon ship"
Under questioning, Davis said
he always made inspections when
the weather got rough. He no.
ticed several leaks in the outer
covering, but said this was nothing
out of the ordinary.

Roosevelt Takes Stack Of
Work With Him To
Hyde Park

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. Up
A big stack Of fresh new deal laws
"a left at the capitol by President
Roosevelt tonight as he turned
homeward for a brief rest before
travelling to the Pacific coast.
IN q final busy day - ending one
OF the busiest months OF the year
80 he signed the last three major
measures enacted by congress that
had not already received his formal
approval. the days highlight was
his signature Of the neutrality leg
islation with its temporary but man
datory arms embargo.
MI. Roosevelt commended It's pur-
pose - TO avoid any action which
might involve lis in war" - as
wholly excellent but he projected
a need for further legislative action
lest the ~inflexible arms embargo
might drag up into war instead OF
keeping us out"
Other bills added 70 the law books
by TT. Roosevelt's signature includ-
ed a 10000 900 rivers and haTbors
bill and the amendments to the
Tennessee Valley Authority act. De-
signed to bolster that law against
court challenges. the iva measure
was signed In the presence or SEN
ator Norris R-Neb.), father OF the
original law.
This finished the bill-signing for
the day. A sizeable stack - most
~ private measures - we're packed
away in the presidential luggage
marked for Hyde Park. N. Y. Con-
cededly, many will be vetoed.
Before Mr.. Roosevelt left the city,
the constitutionality o. a law signed
only Friday was challenged. Suit
was filed In the District OF Column
bia supreme court questioning the
validity OF the Guffey coal Stabili-
zation bill.
It was announced he would speak
over the radio Monday night, Sep
tember %, in opening the annual
mobilization for human needs.
Whether this talk will be made from
the White House or Hyde Park was
uncertain.
Immediately thereafter. II was be-
ieved the president will entrain for
his long planned trip to the Cali
fornia- Pacific Exposition al San
Diego. This journey is attracting
considerable attention from political
leaders.
SO far, MI. Roosevelt has fixed
only two definite dates. He will stop
at the gigantic boulder canyon dam
nearing completion in the Colorado
river and at San Diego.
