Fourteen men and officers, including Comdr. chary Lansdowne, were killed. Thirteen of the dead were in the con- trol car of the ship, which, breaking loose from the gas bag, crashed sev- eral feet to earth.

BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. RICHMOND, Va., September 5.— Northern Virginia—that part of it embraced in plans for the develop- ment of a great metropolitan district as a part of the Natlonal Capital— will receive considerable attention from Gov. Lee Trinkle of Virginia, he says, in his forthcoming message to the Legislature, Official recogni tion has been given the movement for rveglonal development, Gov. Trinkle said, and in his notes for subjects to be discussed thoroughly in his mes- sage, he has reserved much space for going into the opportunities for de- velopment of northern Virginia, in- cluding Arlington and Fairfax countlies. Commissfons have just been sent by the governor to five citizens of northern Virginia, who will represent the State on the reglonal develop- ment_committee of the National Cap ital Park Commission, the city and park planning committee of which is the nucleus on which is to be built the regional committee, consisting of representatives of the Federal. Dis triet of Columbia, Maryland and Vir ginia governments. TI‘::E\ appointees are J. C. Byars, Arlington: C. A. S. Sinclair, Alexandria; M. E. Church, Falls Church; Maj. E. W. Cushing, Rosslyn, and C. W. King: Alexandria. Request From Arlington. The governor's letter to these off} clals, a copy of which he gave to the representative of The Star, says “I have been requested by the Ar- lington County Civic Federation to ap- point a committee of five to act in conjunction with the Natjonal Capital Park Commission in the matter of giv ing consideration from time to time to any plans or steps that may be taken along the line directly affecting Virginia nd to keep in touch with the governor. Those of vou who have been select ed have been appointed after most careful consideration for this purpose. and it is with a great deal of pleasure that I am writing, requesting that you act in the capacity named. I hope some plans can be worked out whereby we can improve all of the conditions in your section of the State from the standpoint of parks, beautifying the country, ete You can meet at such time as may be conven- ient and appoint the chairman of your commission, and I am & ing Mr. J. C. Byars to please see that ich a meet ing is called and the matter given at tention, and also that publicity is given to the press. “I will appreciate any efforts that may be made in behalf of the develop- ginia at your hand: Legislative Change Needed. One of the first things which must be done with Arlington County, said Gov Trinkle, to remove the shac kles of county government which have cramped its development. The gact that Arlington County is not abft to function as ecity as it should is one of the things that have hampered its development up to this time. He made it quite clear that he was ready to give a strong helping hand to relieve Arlington County and orthern Vir zinia in this situation and help lift it to an important part of the metropoli tan distriet of Washington iov. Trinkle said that he was just iting now to hear from the commit ee which he has just appointed to han dle the Arlington County end of the re. gional development They can have anything they want, he sald, and he felt sure that the coming lLe ature would be ready and willing to do everything possible to further the de velopment plans. While Gov. Trinkle said that he op- posed strenuously residential sections of the county by commercial development of any kind he pointed out that he would like to see industries on the water front be tween the Highway Bridge and Alex andri This section needs factories, he declared More Reason for Change. Gov. Trinkle said that he was not cognizant of the fact that the law au- thorizing canitary drainage lines in Arlington County had been declared unconstitutional. but heard of it with some regret. This. he pointed out, is another reason why the government of Arlington County should be changed. ) that it could function as a city gov rnment and proceed to profit from progressive opportunities now con fronting it. Incidentally, the gov ernor said that some years ago he owned a biock of land in what is now osslyn, and sold it because of the for development at cally, he said, he opportunity ~ for obtaining and water facilities, be cause the county commissioners then were not interested. The present Commissioners, he said, are progressive. and he intended to do everything within the power of the State government to ald fh what he believes one of the greatest develop ments in the history of the Old Do- minion State Has Vast Opportunities. time, 1o that Speciti “I want to see Arlington County welded to Washington,” the governor continued. “There are vast oppor- tunities for development of it as a city. which heretofore have been un- foreseen. 1 fully appreciate the lack of laws which would aid in velopment and of the present which are hampering it. However, I want the committee which T appointed to confer with Col. Sherrill’s city and pask planning com- mittee and work out a program which I can use as a basis for a legislative program. I am holding.a good space in my message to have something to of this great development, and that part of the message I will not write until I hear from the commit- tee which is representing me. The Legislature, 1 am sure, will e Arlington County, anything it wants, within reason, and 1 believe that when their program is formu- fated it will go through without con- test, so great are the opportunities. 1 want to see the development work go on, because I want to see grow up there a_great city merging as a part of the National Capital.” VINDICATE POLICE CHIEF.

Plans for the school are rapidly ap- proaching completion. Frank Clay Cross, director of the commission, said the conference is held on the day pre ceding the opening of the national convention of the legion. Men in the Jegion who are interested in" Americanism activities, whether from a national, State or local angle, are invited and urged to attend. Rep- resentatives of other organizations have been invited. Personal ratings of ex-service men in Government employ are based on convenience of appropriations rather than efficiency, Harlan Wood, general counsel for the veterans’ joint com- mittee, declared at a meeting of the executive committee of the District of Columbia American Legion recently. Ratings as revised, Wood declared are often cut down from the original to meet appropriation expediency, in which veterans are given no consid- eration. Statements were made by members of the legion to the effect that good ratings are often cut down to meet appropriations. This, it i declared, goes under the guise of arriving at uniformity in ratings. Wood sald he had received like information. He | was told, he said, of a service man who was dropped on a rating made low for appropriation conveniences, and the wife of a secretary to a mem- ber of Congress given the place a day or two later.

By HIRAM K. MODERWELL. (By Radio to_the Star and the Chicago Daily News) ROME, September American capital will create an Italian eco- nomic renaissance as soon as the debt question 1s settled, according to the belief firmly held here. This expecta- tion has caused a striking change in the last six weeks in the Itallan at titude toward paying America. Whereas formerl- a large section of the 1 press flatly denied the moral obligation, as well as the ma- terfal possibility of paying anything, today nearly every one acknowledges the necessity for reaching a mutu- ally satisfactory settlement. The gov ernment, which has stoutly resisted repudiation, proves the seriousness of its intentioin by the appointment of Finance Minister Volpi to head the debt delegation to America with Dr. Alberti of the Bank Credito Ttalian of Milan, who has been special commis- sioner collecting data as to how the debt might be paid. Fletcher Returning. Ambassador Fletcher is returning to America about the middle of Septem ber on @ vacation, and will doubtless be in Washington during the debt confrence in October and November. Several recent semi-official hints con cerning “co-operation of American capital with Italy” have aroused the belfef that American loans already are an accomplished fact. The Bourse for two days recently was convinced that J. P. Morgan & Company_had loaned upwards of §100,000,000. It is certain that such loans have been discussed Irecently with a Morgan representa- tive, as well as with a representative of the Natlonal Clty Bank. Whether the loans would go directly to the Government or to prominent banks or a special consortium, their ultimate purpose is investment in Itallan pro ductive and public works rather than support of Government finance, which now is in fairly satisfactory shape Numerous efforts to enlist American capital in the aid of Italian enter. prises in the past three years have failed, because of the jealousy of rival Italian interests, or fear that Ameri cans would obtain possession of es- sential Italian industries. Apparently these difficulties will he avoided by loaning the money to the government or to a consortium under government control, which will reloan to industrial enterprises, the government hypothe- ating their bonds and shares as secur ity. ian Program Long Needed. The Italian government long has felt the necessity of undertaking a heroic program of public works has not dared increase the burdens of the taxpayers, who already, according to Italian statistics, pay as heavy a tax as any people in the world. in propor tion to national income. It is hoped the difficulty will be solved when a debt settlement permits American capital to flow into Italy to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Then, sccording to Italian hopes vast districts where men spend their live: from babyhood to the grave, quivering with chronic malaria, will be reclaimed: enormous marshes will be drained and made capable of helping feed the ever-increasing population intensive agriculture and scientific fertilizing will reinvigorate soil ex hausted by 30 centuries of farming loans will bring civilization to innum erable communities now virtually iso- lated: Italian ports will be enlarged and equipped with modern facilities, making Italy a great commercial de- pot in the highway to the Near East; hydroelectric plants will be multiplied, furnishing power and light to rail- ways, factories, homes and farms on two-thirds of the peninsula, and Ital relieved of the necessity of importing foreign ccal and wheat, will become truly independent for the first time in centuries.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 5.—It is the sentiment of Virginifa news- papers that legislation at the coming session of the State Legislature should be kept to the minimum. Fewer laws and more enforcement and repeal of many believed unnecessary are urged in editorials. Enlargement of the powers and re- sponsibilities of the counties of the State in the matter of what s known s “special and local legislation,” af ‘ecting a single county, also is favored. This class of business, before the two branches of the legislature usually consumes about 25 per cent of the time of those bodies, and the session means little to the State at large. It is believed that by vesting the super- visors of the counties with more pow- er the work of the Legislature can be materially reduced Gov.-elect Byrd is strong for re- ducing the number of measures of- fered. The director of the legislative reference bureau, created a few years ago. has been emploved for some time in the task of framing bills. Many of these are of an amendatory character, while some are new. Director Mor rissette will not indicate the nature of any measure that he has been en- gaged in preparing. The preparation of bills by this department is paid for by the State and has done much to improve the general character of the new measures. It j& expected that after the election in Nevember, when he membership of the House will have been determined, there will be a great increase in the request for preparation WORK ON TRI-COUNTY FAIR GROUND SPEEDS Men and Teams Building Race Track and Beautifying Property at Laurel, Md.
