CavererNaNED the Associated Press. %" The report of the Naval Aeronautic = Board appointed to select the site of a * Pacific Coast dirigible base is expected | 2 to reach the hands of the Secretary of = the Navy some time this week. | 2 Rear Admiral Willilam A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, who is chairman of the board, said to- ay that all research work in connection ith the location had been completed and that only drafting of the report | remained. ‘The contents of the report, to be | closely guarded until its. submission to Congress early in the Winter, hold more than usual interest, because of the close competition among - all Pacific Coast communities for the distinction of | acquiring the home of the two great| aerial worships now under construction | at the Akron, Ohio, plant of the Good- | year-Zeppelin Co. ‘ More Than Field Needed. i Much more than & suitable field and | angar site is needed for a satisfactory | dirigible base, the Navy has found, en- | tailing extensive investigation after the | inspection of proposed locations. | Important items are ease of com- | municat'on with the fleet, with arsenals | and with fuel and helium supply bases, | prevailing temperatures and air currents and the direction and velocity of pre- | ~ vailing winds. 'AS Tevolving hangars have been found impracticable, dirigibles are frequently imprisoned in their homes by Cross- winds at the hangar doors, with demo- < lition threatened should a sudden gust 2 pull the glant hulk from the guiding nds of the ground crew and drive it ganst the side wall. Strong Construction an Aid. | Strong construction of the new di- rigibles Euill lessen this danger, but the | Navy hopes by careful selection of a| base to eliminate these periods of im-| prisonment, which m'ght destroy the | military value of the airship by pre- | venting some necessary flight. Southern California has been con- idered to have the advantage in the ~ choice, because of the prevalent weath- er, proximity to the fleet base and a at number of offered sites, but the ard has made it clear that its studies have included the whole length of the Pacific shore of the United States. ! ‘= DR.

There was every indication that the struggle over the abolition of sub- marines would bs Icng and bitter. In some quarters, Great Britain and the United States were accused of at- tempting to dominate the high seas by an agreement which would not really reduce naval armaments, but only cut their navies on a footing of equality.
