.DRICIBLE MAY BE DROPPED OFF
 NAVY PROGRAMS
Macon Wreck Makes the Third Disaster in That
 Style of Craft
By HoBARD Q. MoNTEE United Press Stan Correspondent

1y nO1AkAD Os MONA6E (United Press Stan COrrespO1dcnt)
 Washington, Feb 13-(UP)- Hopes of lighter-than-air propo- nents in the U. S. navy were be-. lieved today to have crashed with the U. 6. S. Macon of the Califor- mia coast.
 High navy officials while waiting detailed report, predicted the disaster would mean an end to ex. perimcntation in the navy with these fragile craft. They never had more than luke-warm support from many navy men.
 It marked the third disaster to navy dirigibles, and stripped the U. S. navy of it's pride and the worlds largest lighter-than-air ship.
 out of four dirigibles built for the navy only the Los Angeles. purchased in 1924. from Germany under an armistice agreement, rec mains intact, and that has been re- tired from active service since 1882. It is for practice moorings and observations at Lukehurst, N. J., naval air station.
 Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson is known to feel that money required for construction of another airship the size of the Macon could be better spent at this time in construction of surface craft.
 This view also was shared by a considerable number of congress- men. Rep Vinson, democrat, Georgia, chairman of the house naval affairs committee, was quoted as saying the Macon crash would probably sound the deatk knell of the dlrigible in the navy. Rep SiroWch, democrat, New York, announced that the house patents committee, of which he is chair. man, would summon witnesses toe morrow in an investigation of cir. cumstances surrounding the crash.
 The Macon disaster came while "big navy" men were pushing for allocation of $38,000,000 for public works funds for naval construction including construction of two dirig- ibles. One of these was to be a small craft, about one.third or one- half the size of the Macon, to be used for experimental purposes and the other to be approximately the same size as the Macon. The navy general board had recommended dirigible.
 Navy officials believed the Macon disaster would side-trick both these recommendations.
 Navy officials said the Macon had been a "jinx ship" ever since she was commissioned. They said she developed trouble during her trial flights. Structural defects de- veloped durnig her flight to Pana- ma in 1894 to participate in naval maneuvers over the Caribbean, and in those maneuvers she was theo. retically "shot down." She ran into more trouble during her return from the Pacific coast that same year, and had difficulty In crossing the mountains and desert.
