A secret study Is being undertaken
for the purpose Of improving dirigibles,
President Roosevelt disclosed yester-
day.
He informed reporters he himself
was directing the investigation. which
will be along different lines from nu-
merous earlier inquiries.
He added that details were mill
tary secret. However. the study pre-
sumably involves the design and future
use of a dirigible Of 100000 cubic
feet which is on the Nays building
program.
Such a craft, intended to be an ex-
pertinent, was authorized In the re-
Gently enacted naval expansion bill.
The President recommended last week
an appropriation Of 100000 to start
work on the airship.
Mr.. Roosevelt's study follows the
refusal of Secretary Ickes to sanction
exports Of helium gas for Germany's
newest dirigible. but naval circles saw
no obvious connection.

the design for the new naval aircraft,
though indicating it probably would be
of the same Zeppelin type as its prede-
cessors and built in the United States.
During consideration Of the fleet
expansion bill, however. congressional
committees heard pleas that it be built
of metal, type Of construction used
in one small lighter -than-air craft in
use at the Lakehurst, N. j., air sta

In authorizing the new craft, which
will be a successor to the decommis-

recommendations Of the Durand Com

Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook. chief
OF the Aeronautics Bureau, and Comdr.

LONDON, May 25.-Prime Minister
Chamberlain today answered sweeping
labor charges of tagging air rearma-
ment with the declaration that
Britain's air force. 'if put to the test
tomorrow, would prove one OF
the most formidable fighting machines
IN the world
Addressing a packed House OF Com
mons Mr.. Chamberlain rejected the
demand of Hugh Dalton. Laborite. who
led the opposition onslaught. for an
independent inquiry into conditions IN
the air ministry and the aircraft pro-
duction industry.
In the air force as it stands today"
Britain has a defense OF which ANY
country might be proud" declared the
confident prime minister.
Mr.. Dalton had charged that "if
trouble came tomorrow" Britain's air
craft would be inferior plane for
plane to both German and Italian
machines"
More Backing for Peace.
Earlier, discussing efforts to prevent
Czechoslovakia' Sudeten German
problem from leading to war. Mr.
Chamberlain told the House Poland

their support Of such efforts.
Answering question, Mr.. Chamber

His Majesty's representatives In
Warsaw and Budapest have already
made clear to the Polish and Hungar-
ian governments the importance which
His Majestys government attach to
securing an immediate and peaceful
solution OF the problem and have Sc

other directors had made false and
misrepresentation" reports, DR.. Morgan
said:
THE majority of the T. v. A. Board,
In carrying on its public relations in
such way as to create definitely mis-
leading impressions, has done so with
such skill and strategy that charges
of direct and open falsehood gener-
ally can be refuted. In almost every
instance there is technical alibi or
q plausible Interpretation.
Unless there is an understanding
OF this habit of creating false impress
sions by half truths. Misrepresentation
and near falsehoods, the quality OF
certain of the T. v. A. propaganda
cannot be understood. In the ag-
gregate, such practice leads to a de-
terioration of the morale of the staff,
tends to make deceit and misrepre-
sentation a standard practice, and
undermines public confidence. 1t does
not serve the interests of the T. v. A.
II have charged that false, mislead-
Ing and misrepresentation reports have
been made to the President, to the Con-
gress and to the public. At this time,
without access to T. v. A. records, 1t is
not possible to make full presenta-
ton of all phases of this condition.
Simply as representative illustrations
of what is meant by such charges, I
submit here a few cases of such mis-
representation. With access to T. "
A. records, shall furnish to the COM
mittee a considerable number of such
cases."
Specific Report Mentioned.
He then accused Mr.. Lilienthal Of
submitting a false and misleading re-
port to the President on September 80,
1886, concerning the r. v. A. electricity
program and future policies.
The report, he said, was submitted
without his knowledge and was Eek
plicitly false" in its implications in
that Mr.. Lilienthal said T. v. A. had
started from scratch" in 1888 to sell
power from Wilson Dam.
He said the implied falsity lay in
the fact power revenue from Wilson
Dam was available prior to T. v. A.,
and that the agency. therefore, did not
start from scratch.
DR.. Morgan also asserted Mr.. Lilien-
thai had misrepresented the fact to
the President when he said the field
for sale of power was "monopolized'
when T. v. A. was set up.
Public Interests Hurt.
DR.. Morgan said these alleged false
statements probably could be ex-
planned away"
Shifting his attack then to contracts
for sale Of r. v. A. powOf to indus
trial concerns, the contracts being
negotiated by Mr.. Lilienthal, DR..
Morgan asserted the documents were
drafted so the public interest was
adversely affected.
He mentioned in particular con-
tracts with the Aluminium Co. OF
America, Monsanto Chemical Co. and
the Victor Chemical Co. He said
these concerns were given contractual
advantages not accorded smaller Arms
and municipalities.
DR.. Morgan next attacked Mr.
Lilienthal for charges the latter has
made against him for conferrng with
q. w. Hamilton, former engineer for
the insult utility interests, in prepara-
ton for a conference with the Presi-
dent in 1886 on a power pooling pro-
gram.

that matter" he said, "discloses hy-

HENDAYE, France. May 25.-The
governments major offensive to crack
the Insurgent front in Catalonia de-
veloped into frontal attacks today
against Sort, Tremp and Balaguer, key
points in Gen. Frances lines in North
eastern Spain.
The drive, now in its fourth day, was
the greatest government offensive
since the capture on December % of
Teruel, lost two months later.
Heaviest pressure was exerted at
Tremp, captured by Insurgents April
5 in their spring campaign. The town
is the location of vital hydroelectric
plants which formerly furnished the
war industries of Barcelona with much
Of their power.
San Roma and Bastus Fall.
Government dispatches reported the
fall of San Roma de Abella and Bastus,
due east of Tremp. where Insurgents
had established defenses to protect
their position.
To the South, about Balaguer, taken
by Insurgents April 6. a reinforced
government army of 10000 men
fought Insurgents in hand-to-ha
conflict to reduce the 25-mile bridge
head established across the Segre
River
Insurgents declared government
militia had lost at least 10000 men in
that sector alone since the counter
offensive started at dawn Sunday.
Roads Cut Around Sort.
To the north of Tremp, government
reports said, roads both north and
south of Sort had been cut. Sort. the
base of Gen. Frances operations in
the Pyrenees along the French border,
was under attack from three sides.
A wedge had been driven between
the base and Llavorsi 7 miles to the
north.
Government aviation was playing
an increasingly-active role in the
operations.
Rebels Sink British Freighter.
MADRID, May 25.-The 1,251-ton
British freighter Thorpehall was sunk
today by Spanish insurgent air raid
ers just outside the harbor Of Valencia.
Two of four bombs dropped by sea-
planes coming from the direction Of
the insurgent-he Island of Mallorca
struck the British ship. anchored about
q mile and half from the harbor
entrance.
One officer and one seaman were
wounded but the entire crew was
rescued
The Thorpehall. owned by the West
cliff Shipping Co., Ltd, of London,
twice before had been in difficulties
with the insurgents. She was interned
at Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in
July, 1887, on insurgent charges of
carrying money and jewels from Bill
boa banks.
Later she ran the insurgent blockade
In the Bay Of Biscay and carried a
cargo of supplies to besieged Gijon.
