THE EVENING NEW AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROVES PROGRESS OF NAVY, SAYS WILBUR Secretary, Speaking at Lexington Dedication, De- clares Ship Proves Government Is Not Blind to Value of Planes as Implements of Warfare. By the Associated Press. QUINCY, Mass., October 3.—Dedi- cating the aircraft carrier Lexington “as an implement for the mainte- nance of free government,” Secretary Wilbur of the Navy Department, at launching ceremonies today, declared it was “a witness bearing silent testi- mony to the bellef of the men and officers of the American Navy in the use of aircraft for national defense.’ “It is the witness bearing testi- mony,” the Secretary said, “that Con- gress belleves in the development of aircraft as a means of national de- fense. Tho iiberal appropriations for the construction of the Lexington and Saratoga. with their equipment, pass- ing Congress by unanimous consent, are irrefutable proof that every mem- ber in the legislative halls of Congress believes that the Navy needs aircraft in the performance of its functions Disproof of Reaction. ery blow of the hammer used in her contsruction gives vocal protest to the unthinking declaration that the American Navy is hidebound with ed by barnacle-incrusted chalns to the things of the past. _ “Look today from the aircraft land- ing deck of this ship, with its 180,000,- horsepower turbine engine, its electric drive, its 33,000 tons of metal, to the wooden, wind-driven Constitution docked in yonder harbor at Bos s Count the steps that lead from the deck of the old Constitution across the Mon- | itor and Merrimac to the deck of the Lexington and you will find a con- clusive answer to the charge of un-| reasonable conservatism in the Amer- ican Navy.

This gigantic 33,000-ton ship, one of the largest ever launched on the West- ern Hemisphere, will be able to cross the Atlantic in about four days at a speed of close to 40 miles an hour—a speed produced by the most extraor- dinary power installation ever devised for a naval vessel.

Mitchell de- clared. “But you've got to hand it to the present board. I have nothing but praise for the way in which it has conducted the hearings. “I'm particularly pleased over the testimony of my chief, Gen. Patrick. He's a regular fellow. His suggestion to the board differed from mine only in degree. The principles involved are exactly the same. 1 think the country is beginning to wake up.” Mitchell Little Worried. Gen. Patrick came out in favor of a separate air corps under the War De- partment, as compared with an en- tirely divorced air department rec ommended by Col. Mitchell. Friends of Col. Mitchell declared Gen. Pat- rick’s testimony to be corroborative of the need for a change in the pres- ent methods of air administratio The colonel’s statement today came on the heels of an order by the War Department holding him in Washing- ton for appearance before the inspec- tor general of the Army Monday. This was the first step toward disciplinary measures expected to befall Mitchell for his sensational charges against the Navy in connection with the crash of the Shenandoah and the fallure of the Hawalfan flight. Col. Mitchell didn’t seem the least bit worrled or surprised about his prospects for punishment, although he said he was greatly disappointed at being unable to attend the Amer- ican-Legion convention at Omaha. He had already made reservations on a train and was to leave vesterday with local leglonnaires when the order holding him in the Capital reached him. “Yes, I'm disappointed about the Omaha trip,” Mitchell sald, “but as I've sald before, I'm used to being knocked on the head.” Whereupon the colonel donned some fancy gray golf knickers and turned his thoughts to lighter things. EUROPE’S AIR GROUPS SEEKING CO-OPERATION | By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. STOCKHOLM, October 3.—The main tangible result of the European air conference has been the forma tion of a representative committee to bring about co-operation between Eu- | rope’s rival groups. M. Farman, sentative, came here somewhat ap prehensive, but left convinced that the conference is an honest attempt bring about unity. Every one admits European commercial air flying is tremendously hampered, while Ger- many maintains a rigid boycott on large foreign aircraft crossing her deadline territory. Experts here generally make secret of their belief that attempts to check Germany's aerfal pro by temporarily forbidding the building of large planes in Germany are futile and therefore foolizh (Copyright. 19 Chicago Daily News Co.)

Only a skeleton fleet was at work today, where yesterday two huge cranes and many other craft rode at anchor or slowly circled the spot now marked by a lighted buoy as the grave of the S51. Discovery vesterday by divers that the submarine was flooded from bow to stern snuffed out the last glimmer of hope that any of the men who went down with her would be found alive. It also marked the end of the desperate efforts of the Navy to raise the submarine in an effort to rescue those aboard her. ‘With their comrades not now among | the living, the officers and men at the base are settling into their routine duties.
