NAVAL AIR STATION, Lake- ‘hurst, N.

October 16.— A rear admiral in the United States Navy ranks all the “breaks” there are, of course, when a visiting Zeppelin is grounding at the Navy air station. Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, was getting them while the Graf Zep- pelin® was being moored last night. Being a rear admiral, he could walk right up under her, while the ordinary folks had to stand about a city block away. He was taking advantage of this par- ticuiar prerogative when the Zeppe- lin’s crew dumped the water ballast out of her tail. It was a lot of water. Admiral Moffett got most of it. Only the fact that he had on an overcoat enabled him to attend a din- ner given by the post commandant | without making a complete change of attire, | | HOOVER GRATIFIED | BY BAY STATE TRIP Plunges Into Task of Prepar- ing Next Speech in New York Monday. Herbert Hoover returned home today from Massachusetts, confident that his invasion of New England has started a favorable trend that will carry him to victory at the polls three weeks hence. Encouraged over the enthusiastic re- ception accorded him in admittedly turbulent territory, Hoover went di- rect from the station to his office on Massachusetts avenue and prepared to tackle his next self-imposed assign- ment—the assault on Gov. Smith’s own campground. With less than a week in which to gird himself for the crucial swing into New York State, Hoover will remain in virtual seclusion during the next few days and devote his time io the draft- ing of his Madison Square Garden hold by breaking a small window in the bottom of the port fin, *ripped off a piece of fabric about 50 by 25 feet, which left a gaping hole directly into the great 3,700,- containing-the. fuel and lifting gas. Crude Repairs Made. Crude methods were employed re] oul ) belng stripped of their blankets to stu the hole through which the wind might have reached to wreak ter- rible havoc. Four of the crew, including the youthful son of the pilot, Dr. Hugo Eckener, climbed out over the fin's| duralium girders, the tatters of the rip- ped cotton fabric, heavy with metal , whipping about them as they worked in wind and rain. These mod- ern sallors, whose element is the air instead of the sea, did a job up there on their precarious perch 1500 feet above the roaring waves that would have done credit to any old salt reefing a sail in a sudden blow off the Horn. It was the notable work of those four men which enabled the wireless call for assistance from navy vessels, sent out when the fin first tore, to be canceled within 10 minutes. Blankets Stripped From Berths. Eight blankets were stripped from the mnearest berths and roughly sewed to- gether to make a temporary wall, and with this flimsy protection against the roaring elements that had already driven the ship more than 1,000 miles from its course, the journey was com- pleted. One glance at that wound in the ship’s | side gave observers from the ground | today full explanation of the reason for the dirigible’s slow progress from the time of its accident, and furnished the basis for a mental picture of how cau-| tiously the officers must have proceeded along the forbidding skies in their blanket bandaged chip. - { Navy crews wheeled extension ladders | #longside the dirigible today and work on permanent repairs started. NEW YORK WELCOME TODAY, ity Ready For Royal Reception to Zeppelin Passengers and Crew. NEW YORK, October 16 (#).—An bfficial welcome and popular acclaim awaited the crew and passengers of the Graf Zeppelin in New York today. A foretaste of what is in store for the 60 persons who made the air voy- age from Germany to Lakeburst, N. J., was given yesterday when the dirigible passed majestically overhead. The city’s mi ual bustle, stood and gazed skyward and sent up a wave of cheers that fol- lowed the huge ship from the Battery o Central Park and down again over Riverside drive.

A score of newspapers corre- sggndenu and photographers completed the party.

Smith in launching his single speech cam- paign in this border State. In addressing an audience in the huge livestock pavilion at the State Fair grounds a few miles from Sedalia, the Democratic presidential nominee will take as his text the single sentence in his acceptance speech in which he| asserted that the *claim of govern- mental economy is as baseless as the claims that general business prosperity exists and that it can exist only under Republican administration.” Thousands of Missourians are ex- pected to come here to hear the speech, which will be broadcast over a Na- tion-wide radio chain, beginning at 8 o'clock, Central time. The governor worked late on the speech last night at the Terry Hotel, his headquarters here, but- he was not expected to be able to complete it before noon today at the ! earliest. A parade set for the forenoon was the only formality in his day’s pro- gram before the speech. Acclaimed in Missouri as on no other occasion since his campaign got under way in late August, Gov.

BERLIN, October 16.—A scathing criticism of the behavior of the “Ameri- can police” on the landing of the Graf Zeppelin at Lakehurst is contained in an interviey with Albert Grzesinski, Prussian minister of the interior and a passenger on the Zeppelin, made public here today. L “Had occurrences like those I wit- nessed taken place in Prussia, these police officials would have been fired the very same day,” he was quoicd as saying. ~ “On leaving the airship, which the passengers were permitted to do only after hours’ waiting, they had, to their surprise, to go through several unpleasant experiences. ‘They were surrounded by a cordon of police and led into the customs building as though they had intended to smuggle.

The commission discussed all phases of the case at a four-hour session yes- conclusion on any of the points &t issue, There are indications now, how- ever, that the application will be for- mally acted on at Thursday's meeting after a comparison of the notes the commissioners are to make during their private review. Legal Procedure Sought. The major portion of yesterday's ses- sion, it was said, was taken up with a discussion of how the demand for an increase in fare might legally be turned down. The commission apparently was unsuccessful in its efforts, for it was in- timated today that if it is found neces- sary to raise the fare the increase likely would be applied to the Washington Railway & Electric Co. for the sake of a uniform rate. In this connectiom, the commission also is faced with a recent announce- ment of the Capital Traction Co. that it would not accept a higher fare unless it is granted simultaneously to the other company. Bepsaldey!. it was pointed out at the commission, that if a new rate of fare is approved, it probably would be only for a temporary period, contingent on the action of Congress, with respect to the pending transit merger agreement. ‘The merger pact as modified by the commission, it was explained, specifical- Iy stipulates that the rate of fare in force at the time the agreement was signed by the parties involved would continue for one year after consolida- tion becomes effective. This means, it was said, that should the comimission authorize a higher fare at this time, it would automatically revert to the, present rate of 8 cents cash or 6 tokens for 40 cents as soon as the com- I of the merger agreement. Delays Helps Opponents. The delay in disposition of the higher fare petition gave opponents of an in- crease additional time to file objections with the result that both the Brook- land and Edgewood Citizens’ Associa- tions lodged their protests today with Earl V. Fisher, executive secretary of the commission. The Brookland association declared that the existing rate of fare affords a fair return on the actual capital invested by the Capital Traction Co. and that it did not think an increase is justi- flable at this time. The other organ- ization ‘said it is opposed to action on the fare increase petition until a re- valuation is made or until Congress either ratifies or rejects the merger agreement, .

Direct Contact With Budget| Bureau and Building Pro- gram at Issue. ‘Taking the definite stand that the District of Columbia public school sys- tem shall be run either entirely by the | Distriet Commissioners or by the Board | of Education, Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of the school board, declared today that the school officials are wait- ing for the people of Washington to in- dicate which administration they pre- fer and what the school needs are in the various communities before they take steps which will end for all time the differences between the municipal and school authorities, which have been aggravated during the past four years by the steady failure of the five-year school-building program designed to bring about adequate accommodations for District school children. If the people want the Board of Edu- cation to continue jurisdiction over the schools, Dr. Carusi said, the board will seek authority to submit school esti- mates directly to the Bureau of the Budget, and authority to submit pro- posed school legislation directly to the House and Senate District committees. It also will propose a co-ordinating offi- cial, preferably under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, who would be a central municipal agent, with whom the school authorities could deal in all mat- ters of purchases, architectural services, repairs and other functions performed by strictly municipal officers, and a new five-year building program. Views of Citizens Sought. A month ago the Board of Educa- tion requested citizen associations and civic bodies to file reports on the school needs of the city as they see them. These reports are due at the Franklin Administration Building by Saturday, and the board's definite action will follow the compilation of the various petitions, probably some time next week. If sentiment favors the commission- ers’ control of the public schools, Dr. Carusi said he would suggest that the responsibility for the system be as- sumed by the Commissioners along with the authority. He would oppose vigor- ously the creation of any “school board” which would be appointed by the Com- missioners, he said, use such a board would be merely a figurehead, lacking in necessary power, subject to | the wishes of the Commissioners even at the expense of the schools, and the recipient only of the blame and eriti- cism which might arise from the con- duct of the system. But if the schools are to remain under the Board of Education, Dr. Carusi has in mind a definite program of remedial action which he hopes all the members of the board will ac- quiese in and which he is confident will bring about an efficiently adminis- tered school system. Novel Proposal Made. One of the most novel of his pro. posals is the creation of the co-ordina- tion agency. “I have never favored, nor do I| favor now, duplication of work, effort | or offices as a means of improving the school situation,” Dr. Carusi said. “I do heartily advocate the naming of one man who would co-ordinate the \;larlv‘)ius hnu:m:c departments with which | e do business as a means of H time and getting work done. uvlngl “I would not favor, particularly, the | creation of such an office under the Jurisdiction of the school authorities, | use the agencies to be co-ordinated, the repair shop, the purchasing agent's office, the municipal architect’s office and any others of similar character and relation to the schools, are District government. agencies.” Citing conditions which he believes his proposal would correct, Dr. Carusi said' that at present if repairs are needed_they are begun frequently two or three months after the Board of Education, with money available, orders them made. In such delays, he ex- plained, the repair shop generally ex- cuses itself by laying the blame on the failure of the purchasing office to buy needed - materials, and that office, on the other hand, might plead ignorance of the imperativeness of the repairs. Offers Way to Speed Work. Hence, Mr. Carusi said, if a single officer in the municipal government could be approached with an order for school work, that officer would be in a position to co-ordinate the varlous agencies involved in the order and see that the work is done with dispatch, !

Staft Correspondent of The Star, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 16.— Minnesota has the distinction of being | represented in the United States Senate by the only member of that body who | ‘wears neither Republican nor Democrat | party label. Henrik Shipstead, senior} Senator from this State, is a member of the Farmer-Labor party. He is seek- ing re-election today as the Farmer-| Labor candidate, and unless all signs | fail he is likely to win.

The other was former Senator Magnus Johnson. Johnson Lost Grip. Senator Johnson had a voice that could be heard a haif dozen city blocks. He made a noise. His enemies said he did little else and apparently he lost his grip in his own State, for he was de- feated four years ago by the Republican nominee, Senator Schall, the blind Sen- ator. Now Senator Shipstead is seek- ing re-election. He has demonstrated his ability in Washington and has re- tained his hold on his constitutents in Minnesota. Indeed, many of the most prominent Republican business men in this city, who formerly were opposed to Shipstead, have changed their minds about him and today are going to support his ore ha) stead’s candidacy than meets the eye at_first glance. Both the old major political . parties see clearly that Senator Shipstead has a big following in the State, and in- deed in Minneapolis, which is his home. Both would like to have him throw his support to their national tickets—to Hoover or to Smith. The Democrats have angled desperately for the Ship- stead support, going so far as to with- draw their own party candidate for the | Senate—“For the good of the party.” Of course, G. F. Cashman of St. Cloud, the Democratic nominee, did his own withdrawing, but it was quite apparent | that the Democratic candidate for the | Senate would have been merely an also | ran when the returns were all in on election day. So the Democrats were giving up little when he took himself out of the race, and there was a chance for them to curry favor with the Farm- er-Labor party by so doing. Shipstead Keeps Silence. Despite this polite gesture on the part of the Democrats, Senator Ship- stead has said nothing in support of the Smith presidential ticket. It is| equally true he has said nothing for the Hoover ticket. And it is further true that he is going to say nothing at all about either one of the presi- dential tickets during this campaign. ‘When it comes to saying nothing Sen- ator Shipstead, on occasion, is as good at it as President Coolidge himself. After Cashman took himself out of the race for the Senate, immediately there were reports of a “deal” between Shipstead and the Democrats, whereby they, the Democrats, would support | Shipstead for the Senate, with thel understanding that he, Shipstead, would throw the Farmer-Labor .vote to Al Smith, but the truth of such a report was denied. Whether the Democrats would have liked to make such a deal is one thing. Apparently they have not been able to make it with the silent Farmer-Labor Senator. It was quite clear and is clear that if Shipstead came out for Smith he would lose Republican support which he now has.

Bishop Slattery of Massachusetts, who was chairman of the committee on prayer book revision, said that the serv- ice was not intended to preserve the memory of war. “The word ‘love’ is dominant in the gospel selected for that service,” he said, “not ‘enemy.’” “One of the great national holidays of the American people certainly should have some recognition by the church,” declared Rev.
