DEFENDERS DF DIRIGIBLES ARE HARD TO FIND

Even Rep. Vinson Wavers in Loyalty to Lighter-Than-Air Craft. Jy Vmit'4 Peru WASHINGTON'. Feb. 14 Defenders oX the proposed program of naval and commercial dirigible const rucuon were hard to find in Washington today. Even Chairman Carl Vinson ol the House Naval Affairs Committee —who only 12 hours belore the U. S. S. Macon crashed oil the California coast, announced he would sponsor a bill lor two new Navy dirigibles—today expressed the view that the disaster "would aound the death knell” of lighter-than-air as a naval defense weapon. Rep. Vinson 'D. Ga>, said, he would withhold his bill at least Congress has made a thorough inquiry. He will move for an Immediate investigation. ' The loss ol the Akron and the Macon increase the doubt of the amhips practicability, Mr. Vinson. 'OX course, we can be thankful that members of the crew escaped with their lives.” Commercial Craft Urged Two weeks a?o, President Roosevelts Federal Aviation Commission proposed construction of two new ships, one a naval training craft to replace the decommissioned Los Angeles, and a larger type for trans-Atlantic commercial service. Such a program, to be expanded later, would give the United States supremacy over other nations in lighter-than-air and would permit American competition with the trans-oceanic commercial lines soon to be started by the German Zeppelin Cos., headed by Dr. Hugo Eckerer, veteran skipper of the Graf Zrppcim, according to the commission. Hep. Vinson's program, involving an e umated expenditure of $5,000,000. went beyond tl.i commission’s j recommendations ir. ihat he pro-1 posed immediate coaifcructiorv of a ! ship to replace the Akron, lost off 1 the New Jersey coast in April, 1933. King Denounces Program Bitter denunciation of government expenditures for airships came from Senator William King fD., Utah), chairman of the spe- ! eial congressional committee which Investigated the Akron disaster. “I was expecting it,” 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. * "I shall oppose the spending of another cent on an enterprise which I regard as # visionary and unsound. We have already spent j too much money on them and lost too many men.” Navy Officers Silent * • Senator King opposed the recommendation of his committee, which gave the Akron's builder, the Goodyea r-Zeppelin Corp. of Akron, a clean bill of health and proposed continuation of naval experimentation with lighter-than-air.

SEES HAPSBURG RETURN

Disregarding official efforts to hush reference to return of Hapsburg rule to Austria, Prince Ernst Ruediger von Starhemberg vice chancellor, declares restoration is essential in the future.

"The lobby of the GooSyear-Zep-pelin Corp. has been active in trying to put over its commercial transport idea, but I cannot agree that it is the duty of the government to experiment in such a program,’’ said Rep. McFarlane. Navy officials were guarded in their comment, but their pessimism over the future of dirigibles was ill-concealed.
