CRAFT KEPT IN HANGAR T0 PREVENT DAMAGE Possible Danger to Liner Delays, Start of Return Trip to Germany. By the Associated Press. LAKEHURST, N. J., September 1.— Departure of the Graf Zeppelin for Germany was postponed “for the time being” at 1:43 Eastern standard time today because of a cross hangar wind. The ground crew, which had been waiting for hours, was released. Capt. Lehmann said that if weather conditions should improve the ground crew could be mustered again in about three-quarters of an hour. The gen=- cral feeling was that the flight was off until evening at least, and very likely until early tomorrow morning. “The wind is not good,” he explained to reporters. “If we should try to take her out now there would be danger of damaging her in such a way that it would take days to effect repairs. The only thing to do is to wait and if we cannot get away now we will have to do it later.” Passengers Sleep on Ship. When the postponement was an- nounced the 22 passengers had been in their cabins for over an hour and many of them were already asleep. It was decided to_let them sleep out the night on the ship on the chance that a take-off might be possible at dawn. At 12:55 it was announced that the wind was 9 miles an hour across the hangar doors and that the ship could not be taken out until it had decreased to 7 miles. It had been hoped to get the ship | aloft shortly after 9 o'clock, Eastern Standard time, but first the special train bearing the passengers from New York was late, and then the wind sprang up. Finding of two would-be stowaways added a touch of excitement to the day’s activities. The two boys, wio said they were from Philadelphia, gave the names of James Wilson, 17, and Rudolph Powers, 16. They had wanted to go to Germany, and the Graf was “the quickest way,” they said. They were turned over to State police. Dr. Hugo Eckener, 67-year-old com- mander of the Graf, watched somewhat wistfully as the great ship was groomed for its departure. Dr. Eckener had de- cided to stay in this country a couple of weeks to take in the national air | races at Cleveland and for business | conferences in Akron, Ohio. Capt. Lehmann, who will command the Graf on her flight, is one of the most experienced of Germany’s dirigible com- manders, his experience dating back o the war. He led the final flight over London.

The Lindbergh Accused Of Diving Too Close To Passenger Plane Colonel Says Intention Was to Warn Ship of Stunting Pilots. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, August 31.—CHff Hen- derson, manager of the national air races here, announced today he has asked Wililam P. McCracken, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, to investigate a near accident of airplanes yesterday piloted by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Sam Taylor of the Stout Air Line. The trouble started when Taylor piloted a three-motored plane, loaded with passengers, over the air race field while Lindbergh and two Navy pilots were engaged in an exhibition of stunt- ing. Air race rules forbade ships to fly over the field during such maneuvers, but Taylor said he did not know of the rule and was endeavoring to land. Lindbergh is alleged to have darted away from the two Navy flyers and to have flown toward the tri-motored plane. Taylor says Lindbergh swooped dan- gerously close to the big craft and that the backwash from the colonel’s plane nearly capsized the passenger plane, which had its motors idled, prepara- tory to landing. Lindbergh said he did not endanger the passenger plane, but was attempting to warn its pilot to get out of the danger zone. After the phssenger plane landed, Taylor and John Halpin, manager of the Stout Line here, rushed to the race headquarters to protest the actions of the plane which they said had endan- gered their craft. ~After they made their protest, they learned that it was against Lindbergh. ‘The usual custom of the Department of Commerce, if it finds a pilot guilty of violating air traffic rules, is to order him “grounded.” CAPITAL'S AIRRACE BID HINGES ON PORT Washington Files Formal Ap- plication for 1930 Aviation Meet. BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON, Aviation Editor of The Star. CLEVELAND, August 31.—Formal re- quest that the 1930 national air races be held in the National Capital next August was made to the newly elected | board of governors of the National | Aeronautic Association this nmmoou.! The request was submitted by the | Aero Club of Washington Chapter of the National Aeronautic Association through ‘Maj. Clayton Emig, a dele- gate from the Washington Chapter. In making this request the Aero Club indicated that it is prepared, if re- quested by the national body, to submit a formal bid for the world’s greatest air event. This bid, which will be very detailed in character, will cover necessary financial guarantees and wiil pledge the National Capital to provide the mass of physical equipment neces- sary for the staging of the show. Consideration of Washington's bid | depends upon the establishment in ‘Washington of en airport of sufficient size to handle the hundreds of visiting planes and permit the adequate staging of the many air races and aerial con- tests and demonstrations which go to make up this greatest of all shows. Bingham Promises Speed. The request was received by the board, of which Senator Hiram Bing- ham of Connecticut, president of the National Aeronautical Association. is head. Senator Bingham is chairman of the congressional joint committee in charge of District of Columbia airport legislation. He has stated that the nec- essary enabling and appropriations bills will be introduced in Congress as soon as possible after the special session be- gins this Fall and will be pushed through as rapidly as possible. One of the last acts of the National Aeronautic Association, at its closing session here yesterday, was to approve unanimously & resolution calling upon Congress to establish a model national airport immediately at Gravelly Point, on the south shore of the Potomac River, opposite Hains Point. While the National Capital's request will not be passed upon by the board until December or January, it is known that the request is very favorably re- garded by members of the board and officers of the association. The delay in making the final award is to enable the association to go thoroughly into the qualifications of the bidding citles. Five Bids Are Received. The board yesterday received five re- quests for the 1930 classic in addition to that from Washington. They were submitted by Chicago, Miami, San An- tonio, Portland, Oreg., and St. Louis. Under the rules of the association addi- tional bids may be received up to the time the final award is made. The experience of Cleveland shows that it would not be at all impossible for the National Capital to make the necessary physical preparations for the show if the requisite legislation for an airport can be enacted by Congress by the end of January. Cleveland was awarded the present air races last January and the work of preparing for the event, which un- doubtedly is the greatest aeronautical meet in history, began last February. Although Cleveland already had a municipal airport ranking among the best in the country, the races are being flown entirely on a section of the port which last February was in farmland. rest of the day of arrival will be a holiday for the children.

By the Associated Press. SAN PEDRO, Calif, August 31—A sea of dying faces, fear-struck men and women gasping out pitiful cries of “Save me, save me,” as they threshed about in oll-coated waters; an all too inadequate lifeboat working its way feverishly among the doomed—these were some of the scenes printed in- delibly on the brain of Capt.

WHOLESALE ROUND-UP UNDER WAY AT MARION Members of Union Attempt to Pre- vent Newcomers Mov- ing Into Village. By the Associated Press. MARION, N. C., August 31.—Sheriff’s officers, beaten and bruised yesterday in a clash with Clinchfield mill strike sympathizers, today swore out warrants for 148 members of the United Textile Workers of America from the Clinch- field and Marion manufacturing com- panies mills and at nightfall 74 had been arrested. While the officers carried out their wholesale arrests, four companies of North Carolina National Guardsmen patroled the Clinchfield village and the village owned by the Marion Manu- facturing Co., which has closed its plant because of a strike. All persons ap- proaching the mills were being searched. Guards Rescue Sheriff. Two companies of Guardsmen had been stationed in Marion, a mile from the mill villages, for two weeks. These troopers late yesterday rescued Sheriff Oscar Adkins and several deputies when they were set upon by a crowd of stone-throwing, club-wielding strike sympathizers in the Clinchfield village. The crowd was dispersed without seri- ous injury to any one. Efforts of unfon members and 'sym- pathizers to prevent a cotton mill op- erative from Caroleen moving into a Clinchfield village brought on the clash. Sheriff Adkins attempted to arrest men and women throwing the furniture of newcomers into the street, and the trouble tollowed. Two companies of Guardsmen in ad- dition to those already on the scene were called. The strike which precipitated the trouble started five weeks ago.. For three weeks the Clinchfield mill was closed. Then an effort was made to open it on August 19. Strike sympa- thizers refused to permit non-union workers to enter the mill. - Troops were called out and after two days were withdrawn from the mill. Several Explosions. A number of explosions occurred in and around the mjll village during the next 10 days and an effort was made to dynamite the home of Rev. J. N. Wise, a Methodist minister, and switch to the plant. Thursday night there was an explosion that wrecked the cotton opening room in the mill. Then came the trouble of yesterday evening. A medical unit of 30 men from Lin- tional Guardsmen on duty here. Sixteen of those arrested here today had been released on bond up to 7 o'clock tonight. 38 Are in Jail Deputy Sheriff Broad Robbins, who received the only major injury in the clash between officers and strikers, was able to join in the round-up of the rioters touay. Robbins was struck on the head with a club as a mob, esti- mated by the sheriff at 600 men and women, forced the officers to leave the mill village. . Sheriff Adkins and his officers went to the Clinchfield village late yester- day upon word that strikers were at- tempting to prevent Charles Gibson, who had moved to the village from an- | other county, from placing furniture in one of the mill houses. Officers Are Attacked. The mob took the furniture to the State highway, several yards away, and the officers were attacked with stones the crowd. Precautionary measures were taken today by Maj. E. P. Costen of Asheville, commander of the 109th Cavalry Regi- ment, who ordered all workers searched before they entered the mill. All per- sons except those displaying his pass were forbidden to enter. There was no demonstration today, as the non-striking employes went to their accustomed places, although union picketers kept just off the mill property. Mussolini Will See Maneuvers.

Recalling Memories of Early Life. ‘While millions of persons listened all over the country, James J. Davis, Sec- retary of Labor, spoke to his 80-year- old father over the radio from this city last night and sang for him a Labor day minstrel song of which they were both fond many years ago. David J. Davis, father of Secretary Davis, was listening in at the radio in his home at Sharon, Pa. His son had | sent him word in advance that he would | have a special message for him before he began the delivery of a speech on labor conditions in the United States at the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Evening Star and sponsored by i the Columbla Broadcasting Co. | ( Speaking first in Welsh, his native | tongue, Secretary Davis said “Good eve- | ning, father,” and then, in English, he | continued: Memories Are Recalled. “Hello, father: Do you recall when I was & boy and yon and I signed a petition to ask Congress to set aside a day for labor? Do you recall when John Jarrett, president of the Iron and Steel Workers, asked us to sign a peti- tion to create a Labor Departmeant? “Remember where we were living then? It was on the flats at Sharon and we were paying $5 a month rent. “Little did you think then that your son would some day be at the head of the Department of Labor in the cabinet | of three Presidents. I always remember | what you said many years ago: ‘Never | mistreat a boy. no matter how poor he | may be, because no one can tell what he may be in the United States when he grows up.’ “Remember George Evans—'Honey Boy’ Evans—the minstrel man and how he used to sing his song on Labor day?” Secretary is Congratulated. In a clear tenor voice, Secretary Davis then sang a paraphrase on the old minstrel song, entitled “That Old- time Lid.” as follows: “That'’s the hat my dear old father wore upon our Labor day: Talk about respect, with his head erec as he marched along the way— ‘Not a man in line looked so fine' my dear old mother used to say. “As your father did. with that old-time lid, upon our Labor day.” Scarcely had he finished singing when messages began to come in over the telegraph wire congratulating Secre- tary Davis on his singing. “I suppose that is the first time a, member of the cabinet ever sang over | the radio,” said Secretary Davis, with a smile. | t, Speaks to Parent in Welsh, | LADY HEATH WORSE, ATTENDANTS REPORT| Hopes for Recovery of Noted:; Aviatrix Increasingly in Doubt Last Night.

DAVISSEES BRIGHT FUTUREFORABOR Workers to Have More Lei- sure Hours, Secretary Says in Radio Address. “It is not fantastic to say that the time will come when the day's work can be done with hardly more effort than pulling a lever or pushing a button,” prophesied James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, in an address last night in the National Radio Forum arranged by The Evening Star and sponsored by the Co- lumbia Broadcasting Co. The speech was broadcast from Station WMAL and carried to the country over the Colum- bia chain. As the Nation prepared to celebrate Labor day tomorrow Secretary Davis called attention to the fact that “you do not hear one ripple of discontent in our national life.” America’s Labor day, he said, comes in early Autumn, when “the harvests have been garnered and | we think of the next season.” “That is characteristic of our Labor day,” he added. “It is a day when we look into the future.” i Future Progress is Seen. During the fiext 50 years labor condi- tions will progress in this country, Sec- retary Davis predicted, so that the worker will complete his full day’s pro- duction with more leisure to enjoy the fruits of his labor—motor trips, visits to theaters, the library and the concert hall. He said modern scientific business system and a genius for inventing high- speed, automatic machinery are bringing this about. “I believe that all our churches. I schools and colleges must begin right now,” he continued, “to train our people for the proper use of the greater leisure time they are going to have. As it is we have raised to the highest pitch of usefulness the education we have had. Now we need to be educated in how to live, and I believe the greatest demand for this education will come from our millions of workers.” Under modern business conditions. Secretary Davis said, employers are see- ing the folly of discharging workers at a certain age. “Nobody Grows Old.” “Nobody grows old in this youthful age,” he said, “and with machinery now so easy to operate, the man of 70 is as productive as the youth of 20.” Declaring that every one should strive to_raise the standard of living in this (Continued on Page 5, Column 2.)

Lea, whose home is in Nashville, was out of the city when the appointment was announced | and could not be reached for a state- ! ment. { Served Previous Term. Col. Lea has served one term of six ears as Senator from Tennessee. This term expired in Marchy 1917. - 2, 1879, and received his bachelor of 12, arts and master of art degrees from the University of the South at Sewanee. Later he studied law at Co- lumbia University, New York, gradu- ating in 1903, and entered the practice of law in Nashville. In 1907 Col. Lea founded the Nash- | ville Tennesseean.

Navy Accord. | | BY HAROLD E. SCARBOROUGH. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, August 31.—The possibility that Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald may reveal to the League of Na- tions on Tuesday the details of the Anglo-American naval “yardstick” is seen here as increased by two develop- ments today. There were the prime minister's vague reference to such a course before he left London this morn- ing, and Foreign Seeretary Arthur Hen- derson’s Geneva statement tonight. ‘The dispatches from Geneva available here vary in detail, but one quotes the foreign secretary as saying . MacDonald will probably make a defi- 1 nite statement on Tuesday. This same | - | dispatch ascribes to Mr. Henderson the opinion that a five-power naval con- ference will be called. Before leaving London this morning Mr. MacDonald spoke with some cau- tion. Although he declared, “We haven't the slightest doubt that an agreement will be reached; in fact, we are detrmined that it shall be,” he also warned, “There are one or two diffi- cult details still to be arranged, and announcement will be made as soon as | ever an agreement is reached.” S tion here as to the details of the agreement proceeds somewhat wnlli:nd most of the rumors published in the British newspapers are those which originated in Washington.

BRITISH PLANES SENT TO SCOUT TRIBESMEN Moslems Assembling North of Holy City Menacing Peace of District. By the Assoclated Press. JERUSALEM, August 31.—The chief anxiety of all circles in Jerusalem to- night was the menace of an Arab descent upon the country from Syria, against which British airplanes have been_sent. British troops seemed to have the Palestine situation fairly well in hand today after more than a week of fight- ing between Arabs and Jews.over rights of worship at the Wailing Wall, al though there were sporadic Arab at- tacks on Jewish centers. A bulletin issued by the Palestine government today lists the total num- ber of casualties in the rioting as of Saturday morning as Killed, Moslems, tians, 4. Seriously wounder Moslems, Jews, 183; Christians, 10. Danger Lies in East. ‘The danger to peace lay in the north i where Palestine Arabs were reported | massing near Beisan. Nomad bands in | Syria were said to be moving southward toward the Palestine border. | “Just how serious the threat from the north may prove is the question of the hour in gauging the whole Arab- Jewish situation in Palestine. British forces available at present in Palestine dre considered capable of meeting successfully any troubles aris- ing in the Holy Land itself. But the general situation facing | Great Britain in the Near East will present a far more serious aspect if a sympathetic movement of Arabs from | the deserts and plains outside of Pales- i tine should gather force and become | general. So far there is little public knowledge 112; Arabs is or what progress British air- planes sent to check them have made. The effectiveness of the Royal Air Force in dealing with hostile move- i ments elsewhere in Palestine, notably | in_Jerusalem, has hitherto been ex- cellent. Air Patrols Effective. Reports today indicated that con- stant British air patrol over various Palestine districts where trouble was teared was having a remarkably pacify- ing influence. The presence c: a strong body of available aircraft has consider- ably altered the aspects of desert war- fare with nomad riders. In addition to aircraft in Palestine itself and the airplanes brought by the aircraft car- rier Courageous from Malta, there is a strong air force in Transjordania. Crossing of the borders of the Holy Land by isolated bodies of horsemen would hardly result in more than lo- calized raids if aircraft could keep them scattered, as superior speed mobility | and military effectiveness should enable them to do.

More Shops Opened. There were more people in Jerusalem streets today and more shops were opened, most of them being Mosleins. There was a more confident atmosphere prevailing. Airplanes reconnoitered overhead every hour. Since many outlying villages are known to harbor lawless characters the government has decided to send bodies of troops to comb the villages systematically, all suspected places will | be surrounded and searched and sus- | piclous persons taken into custody. British troops now are fairly well distribvied over the main centers of the Holy Land, large bodies operating from El Afouleh as headquarters. From El Afouleh these troops could be dis- posed along either the Jordan River frontier or the Syrian frontier near the Lake of Tiberias. The Sack of Safed, where an Arab mob caused more than 70 Jewish cas- ualties in killed and wounded, seems to have been the worst outbreak since the Hebron attack a week ago.

Referring to the resolution of Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, which would eliminate from the pending tariff bill all rate sections except that relating to agriculture, the Massachusetts Sena- tor said that while he did not question the sincerity of its advocates, the coun- 'y certainly would interpret this as a rebuff to all producers other than farmers.” | Both Scnators are members of the i finance committee. Success Is Doubted. Chairman Smoot, who will have charge of the bill on the floor for the | Republicans, expressed doubt whether | the Thomas resolution would have a majority on a final vote. A similar resolution by Senator Borah, Republi- can, Idaho, failed to pass last June by ne vote. < Although he would not insist on priority for consideration of amend- ments Smoot said an effort probably ! would be made to delay action on the limitation resolution 1if the Democrats should seck to bring it up at the outset of debate. | “In my opinion,” said Senator Walsh, | with reference to the limitation resolu- tion, “it is a most undemocratic pro- posal at this stage in the proceedings | upon the tariff in the Senate.” Favors Full Discussion. “I, for one,” he added, “favor a full and 'free discussion by the Senate itself of every domestic industry’s claim to protection, without indicating favor of | | \prei‘exence for any before the debate | begins.” . Although “many grave injustices and | inequalities” would have to be elimi- | nated before the bill commended his support, Walsh said he would favor the | “fullest’ consideration of every recom- | mendation from whatever industrial group, or political sources, that aims to | decrease duties where existing rates are | not justified. or to increase duties.where | a case can be made out for substantial | relief required; provided that such pro- | tective relief does not place an unwar- | ranted burden upon other industries or on the consumer.” “There are distressed industries in | this country, both manufacturing and ‘agrlcultural." he said. “that may pos- | sibly be benefited by the tariff: but | they are, in my opinion, exceptions. | “It is reduction of excessive duties | more than increases in many in- | stances that the country needs. | The limitation upon revision that would “be useful in limitation of all duties, | new and old, in all schedules and not |in any one schedule.” Other Resolutions Planned. | _ Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mis- | sissippi, another member of the finance | committee, announced that other | minority resolutions would be presented | during the tariff debate, including one by himself to have recorded the votes | of the majority committeemen on each | duty as taken in their executive ses- | sions in reframing the measure for the | Senate. Another resolution to be offered, he | said, would require presentation to the | Senate of the financial standing and earnings of all corporations that sent | representatives to the committee hear- | ings seeking “additional favors.” | “None of these resolutions,” he ad- ded, “ought to create unnecessary de- | bate or delay, and if there is any de- bate or delay it will come from Re- publican leadership.
