THAT DODD RETURN
Van Nuys, King Call ENJOYS
Dictator Letter "II| Ad-
vised" in Suggestion.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Two senatorial opponents of the
Roosevelt court bill suggested today
that Ambassador William E. Dodd re-
turn from his Berlin post.
Commenting on Dodd's letter to
Senators Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia,
and Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio urg-
ing support Of the court reorganization
bill because of dictatorship" threat
to the United States, Senator Van
Nuys, Democrat, of Indiana, said:
The Ambassador has overstepped
the boundaries Of his official position
somewhat. His letter was ill-timed
lu-advised, unsolicited and out of
keeping with his function as Ambas-
sador."
May Be Asked to Explain.
If Dodd continues" to make such
charges, Van Nuys added, he will ask
through the State Department that
the Ambassador be invited back here
to appear before the Senate Judiciary
or Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
said Dodd's letter indicated he had
become "imbued with Fascism" and
had demonstrated that he was mot
proper man to represent this country
in Germany"
Dodd's letter warned of an Amer
lean Millionaire who, he said, was pre-
pared to control" dictatorship" in
this country
"No Comment"
Recalling rumors which have per-
sisted since the advent of President
Roosevelt's second term that Dodd
either was due for retirement from the
foreign service or would be given an
other post, foreign quarters here spec
ulated over whether his letter might
precipitate such a step.
The usual cautious no comment"
was the State Departments reply to

Of Air Commerce, and a member of
the board of inquiry, took up the
questioning:
@. You spoke of the heaviness of
the ship aft. Could this happen at
any time?
A. Absolutely. 1t was normal for
the time.
Q. Were all three water ballast
discharges made aft?
A. I noticed no ballast dropped
forward. I just noticed the one dis
charge as she was making her ap-
proach.
Asked whether any line from the
after part of the ship touched the
ground, Tyler said: Il am sure it
did not"
Resuming his narrative, the ground
officer said the drift to starboard
was checked and the starboard rope
was about to be attached.
Flame-Then a Report.
L feel that, as far as the ground
crew was concerned, we had the ship
definitely under control" he said.
Il suddenly noticed burst of flame
followed by loud report just forward
OF the port fin and slightly above the
longitudinal axis of the ship.
The fire spread very rapidly. The
ships main cable had not been con-
nected to the mast. AS the ship be-
gan to fall orders were given to all
hands to keep clear.
"As soon as the forward section Of
the ship, the control car, had touched
the ground and, although still blazing
hercely and the danger of further ex-
plosions was definite hazard, members
OF the ground crew rushed to the area
Immediately adjacent to the passenger
space and rendered invaluable aid in
rescue work"
Flame Not Large.
Tyler said that there was no method
OF communication between ship and
ground at the final stage of landing ex-
cept by megaphone and that, ITO my
knowledge, the captain at no time tried
to communicate with me-"
Asked by Mulligan whether he be-
lieved the Hindenburg trail ropes could
have discharged static, Tyler said:
Il do not"
What was the size of the flame
when you first saw it?" asked Multi
gan.
1T was not so large" Tyler said.
I would say it would cover an area
probably 10 feet by feet

ward.
No Pressure in Flame.
Asked by Maj. R. w. Shredder, as
slstant director of the Air Commerce
Bureau, If there were pressure behind
the fame, the lieutenant said his re
action would be it was an explosion
name," but that was merely guess"
Tyler testified that the first de-
tmation was "a gas explosion"
Had there been an explosive mix
ture Hydrogen with about 20 per cent
air), the detonation would have been
terrific" he said.
O. Any static charge dissipated
through the lines dropped?
A. Dry lines are definitely not a
conductor.

cropped, Tyler said, the dirigible did
not appear to be tail-heavy.
She was definitely light forward.
After the lines had been dropped, she

declared.

pulled through the small patch OF

gear and the ground crew, he declared,
were ''in all readiness to receive the

Just before the disaster struck, he
said, Il feel that, as far as the ground
crew was concerned, We had the ship
definitely under control"
The first explosion In the hull, Tyler
testified, was, In his opinion, "a gas

20 Per cent air. the detonation would

lines Thursday night were definitely

the static electricity she has accumu-
lated to the ground
He was questioned about the line:
@. Does it require a metal line to
ground the ship?
A. A metal line or a wet line.
@. If this ship was maneuvering In
the rain, would the lines be apt to
be moistened?
A. No. They are housed inside the
ship
The committee then conferred with
Its technical advisors, among them
Comdr. Rosendahl, who expressed
the belief Monday that the Manila
ropes normally would have grounded
any static because of the wet weather
conditions.
Travelled on HindenburE.
AS Tyler testified, one Of the Navy's
nonriged blimps sailed over the air
station, training men In aeronautics
against the day when, the station
personnel hopes, the United States
again will have dirigibles.
Tyler described his service on the
Shenandoah and Los Angeles and
told how, in Europe as a member of
the Nays 1885 balloon racing team,
he was shown through the Hindenburg
and given a detailed description Of
its construction by Knut Eckner, son
of the designer.
Il also made a trip to Europe last
Fall on the Hindenburg," he said,
and as one Of the official naval OBJ
servers, it was my duty to get as much
data as possible on the ship"
1t was his task last Saturday, Tyler
said, to see that mooring gear and
landing crew were In readiness, and
they were "in all respects ready to re-
ceive the Hindenburg"
Rope Was Dry.
He said there were 231 men In the
ground crew, 90 officers and men from
the station and 1879 civilians.
The key positions were handled by
experienced Navy men," he said.
Tyler said the ship finally came in
under considerable headway and ap-
peared to be running its four engines
full speed astern to check the mo-
mentum. The trail ropes were dropped
at 6:21 pm, he said.
During the approach the ship gave
the appearance Of being slightly heavy
at the stern and water ballast was
dropped aft
The ship, about 200 feet in the air,
started to rise and drift to starboard.
This was checked by the port rope
connected to the port trail line.
Il touched the port rope. I know
1t was dry" he said in answer to
question.

Beauty to
A Princess
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
(Fnmous Authority on Problems

(Fumous Authority on Problems
of Lope and Mdrridge)
Have you happened to notice
a recent photograph of Princess
Juliana Of Holland? And If so,
did you think her charming?
Lovely? Radiant? With quite a
bit of dash and go about her?
But, surely, that's rather
miraculous! Because a year ago
she was nothing Of the sort, She
was then a rather phlegmatic-
looking young woman, with that
comfortable look that the Hol-
landers have of being not the
least bit in the world under
nourished.
OLD QUESTION
Well, what must a girl do to
be beautiful?
It's the question women have
been asking for millions Of
years. Cor I suppose hpStlcks
and hair.tinting have flouriShed
almost immemorially0
And the stock answers are
familiar to all of you: Be young;
or at least as young as you
can. Be healthy. Use all the
art you can muster in applying
your cosmetics. Learn to be
graceful and chic; to wear your
clothes well.
But there's another preScrip-
ton, Surer even than these, and
here it is: Be happy.
Have you never noted the diff
ference between a girl with all
the attributes of beauty, but
leading an empty life, and one
of no special natural charm, but
made beautiful by happiness?
FOUND HAPPINESS
Now-to go back to Juliana,
that fortunate young person,
who is a Crown Princess, and
who is some day to reign over all
those enchanting tulips and
windmillS' who lives in a castle
that is all her own and has an
outstanding young prince for a
husband, and is also, as she re-
Gently announced over the radio,
though not in so many words, to
become d mother.
What has happened to her,
of course, is that she has found
happiness "a happiness that
crowns and castles couldn't give
her, but that love-union can.

The new coiffures

quaint arrangements

When selecting a new

of all the shape of the
nose. Look at your pro-
file and observe the
effect. The shape Of
the head and the guam

plays a part, too, and so
do the eyes. There is
