Inc coast guards work in the

much lessened by reason of the
fact that no fishing boats were
caught out in the terrific seas and
gale.

Florida coast areas were one of the

Built in the days when buildings
were only a brick veneer over a
wooden framework, the coast guard
building jammed in between two
others, is dry as tinder inside. In
the center of the building is an old
fashioned framework elevator shaft.
A staircase running around it and
unprotected, in case a fire started
in the shaft, would be cut off by
flames rushing up this internal
chimney.
While District Of Columbia fire
laws require owners of private
buildings to build fire escapes, the
federal government is immune to
such regulation. And, to compli-
cate things further, the coast
guards building, while part of the
treasury department, is owned by
the interior department which is
proving a remiss landlord. So far
no fire escapes have been built in
answer to requests. They haven't
been able to get old-fashioned fire
ropes, which, the coast guardsmen
agree, would be better than moth
ing.
Likewise a new building from
public works funds has been de
MED them.

DEFENDERS OF

Even Rep. VinSon Waivers in
Loyalty to Lighter-Tha

~ Hf.fI NFfaa
WASHINGTON. Feb. l4.-De-
Tenders Of the proposed program Of
naval and commercial dirigible con-
struction we're hard 70 find in
Washington today.
Even Chairman Carl Vinson Of
the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee-Who only y hours before the
u. S. S. Macon crashed off the
California coast, announced ne
would sponsor d DILL Tor Two new
Navy dirigibles-tOday expressed
the view that the disaster would
sound the death knell" Of lighter
than-aT as naval defense
weapon.
Rep. Vinson ID, Ga. said he
would withhold his Dill at least
until Congress has made a thor
oUgh inquiry. He viii move for an
immediate investigation.
The loss OF the Akron and the
Macon increase the doubt OF the
airship's praCticaDility. said Mr.
VinsOn. OF course, ne can be
thankful that members Of the crew
escaped with their lives.
Commercial Craft Urged
Two weeks ago. President Roose-
velts Federal Aviation Commits
sion proposed construction Of two
new ships, one a naval training
craft TO replace the decOmmissioned
Los Angeles, and larger type for
transatlantic commercial service.
Such a program, 10 be expanded
later, would give the United States
supremacy over other nations IN

init American competition with the
trans-OceaniC commercial lines soon
TO be started BY the German Zeppe-
I'm Co. headed by DR.. Hugo Ecke-
ner, veteran skipper OF the Graf
Zeppelin, according 10 the commits
sion.
Rep. Wilson'S program, involving
an estimated eXpend iture of S5.0OO,-
600, went beyond the commissions
recommendations IT. that he pro-
posed immediate construction, Of a
ship 70 replace the Akron, lost of
the New Jersey coast IN April, 1888.
King Denounces Program
Bitter denunciation of govern
ment expenditures for airships
came from Senator William King
Cd. Utah, chairman OF the spe-
cia1 congressional committee which
investigated the Akron disaster.
L was expecting il" said Senator
King when informed of the Macon's
loss. The whole idea is fantastic
and the construction of the Akron
and The Macon was criminal and a
waste Of government money.
L shall oppose the spending OF
another cent on an enterprise I
which I regard as. visionary and
unsOund. We have already spent /
TOO much money on them and lost
too many men,"
Navy Officers Silent
Senator King opposed the recon-
mendatiOn of his committee, which
gave the Akron's builder, the Good
yesr-Zeppelin Corp. of Akron, a
clean bill of health and proposed
continuation OF naval experimental
ton with lighter-than-air.
