mittee, read by him in the Senate,
Hull registered simple mo" to
all questions raised in the resolu-
ton sponsored by Senator John

RESOLUTION HELD UP
Immediately after Pittman read
the letter, Senator johnson OBJ
tained unanimous consent for an
indefinite postponement of con-
sideration of his resolution to have
the Senate ask Hull whether the
Administration had any agree
ment or understanding with for
eign nations for joint action in the
event of war.
To the specific question in the
Johnson resolution, whether any
alliance, agreement or understand"
ing exists, or is contemplated,
with Great Britain relating to war
or the possibility Of war, Hull gave
a simple mo"
mo" ON NAVY ACCORD
Likewise, he answered mo" to
the question of whether there is
any understanding for the use of
the American Navy in conjunction
with any other nation.
Again, he replied mo" at the
last question in the resolution,
whether there is any agreement,
expressed or implied, with any ma
tion that the United States Navy
should patrol any particular wa
ters or any particular ocean.
Hulls letter was designed to
quiet rumors the Ad: NHiistration

Far East and in the troubled Suro-

Il compliment the Secretary
of state upon his prompt and
proper consideration of the mat

He has handled this matter in
a way which is appropriate, with
a categorical and explicit denial
of these ugly rumors that have
been sweeping the country. We

wisely"

SOVIET PROBES
A|RSH|P CRASH
FATAL TO IS
Dirigible Hits Peak
On Mercy Flight
BY JAMES E. BROWN

BY JAMES E. BROWN
MOSCOW, Feb. 8 G.N.sJ.-An'
other tragedy of the Arctic was
written today as Soviet officials
headed for the barren, frozen
peaks of the northern Kandalaksha
region to investigate the loss Of
the Russian dirigible q. S. S. R.
V-6, which carried 13 men to
death.
Six other persons aboard the
craft, former pride of the Soviet
lighter.than-air fleet, were injured
seriously when the airship smashed
into a mountainside. The accident
occurred while the dirigible was
making a preliminary flight pre-
paratory to speeding into the tar
North on a mercy errand.
THUNDEkOUS ChASn
The dirigible crashed about 300
miles from Murmansk on Sunday,
striking the peak with q crash
that north country peasants said
sounded like thunder. AS soon as
they flashed word back to civiliza-
ton, an official commission left
Murmansk to begin an inVestiga-
ton.
Poor visibility-the result Of a
heavy snow sterm-was believed
to have been the cause OF the
crash.
M. Gulovantsev, Soviet dirigible
expert, was in command Of the
craft. His ship, reported demol-
ished, had been classed as one OF
the fastest and most modern OF
the Soviet's dirigibles.
Gudovantsev was reporte d
among those killed. The surviv-
ors were said to have owed their
lives to the fact that the airship,
inflated with helium, did not
catch on fire.
RESCUE STUDIED
The V-6, with 10 officers and
crew members aboard. was on a
round trip between Moscow and
MurmariSk, arranged to decide
whether the dirigible should take
part in the expedition to rescue
four Soviet polar scientists ma
rooned on cracking ice off Green
land.
After months spent on their ice
floe while it f1oated miles from
the North Pole, the four scientists
are endangered by the disintegra-
ton Of the ice.
On recent training flight mem
bers of the airship's crew sent a
petition to the government here
asking to be allowed to go to the
rescue of the North Pole explorers.
The VS. attracted attention last
october when she set a new en-
durance record, remaining 100
hours in the air over Moscow. The
previous record had been 119
hours.
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 8 G.N.S0
