DIRIGIBLES BIG AID IN CANAL DEFENSE Ocean Searched 6,000 Miles In Hour for Hostile Craft. Planes Aiq Fleet. By the Associated Press. U. §. S. LOS ANGELES, February 21.—New fighting dirigibles planned by the Navy will be able to search an ocean area of 6000 square miles each hour for signs of hostile craft, Comdr. Vincent A. Clarke, commander of this big_airship, said today. The Los Angeles, “destroyed” in the Navy war game that ended last night, nevertheless made a very gratifying performance and contributed vitally to the “defense” of the Panama Canal, according to her commander. Vast Area Covered. “In two flights,” he said, “the ship cruised 2,315 nautical miles, searching an area during daylight hours averag- ing 3,000 square miles an hour. ¢ ““This figure exceeds that which can be covered by any type of surface craft, but is only half what the Navy's new dirigibles will accomplish. These ships also will be able to remain in the air at least five days.” The commander said the fact the Los Angeles was theoretically sunk by planes from the attacking fleet was of no sig- ificance. “Without armament of any kind and without fighting planes that the new military ships will car he asserted, “it was a foregone conclusion that she would be sunk on making contact with the enemy main body. To Have High Speed. “The military ships will have high speed, machine gun and plane defense and will use the clouds and high al- titudes- to cover their approach and escape for trailing and for night at- tack. : Comdr. Clarke said that on two oc- casions during the week’s maneuvers storms were encountered without any undue stress being placed on the ship. Minor breaks of wiring and fabric were easily repaired, and at no time was there engine trouble. The crew, he said, remained in ex- cellent health. U. S.

BY SHOUSE Says Administration Could Avert or Better Conditions. By the Associated Press. MUSKOGEE, Okla., February 21.— President Hoover and the Republican administration were blamed today by Jouett Shouse, Democratic National | Exccutive Committee chairman, for what he termed failure to take ad- vance steps to avert or ameliorate the present business depression. Shouse, speaking before the Okla- homa League of Young Democrats in annual convention here, said: “For 10 years now the Republican party has been in control of every branch of the Federal Government. Under that leadership the country has fallen upon such evil days that * * * the appalling sight of breadlines and soup kitchens has become a common- place in every great city of the land.” Shouse termed the “question of un- employment” the *“most important sub- ject before the country” and asserted the “Democratic party has had a definite program upon this subject” which has been, he said, hampered and sidetracked by the party in power. “It is only through the Democratic party that business and labor alike can hope for * * * remedial legisia- tion.” he asserted. The convention adopted resolutions suggesting Will Rogers as Democratic presidential candidate for 1932 and ac- claiming him the “best farm relief bill.” @he Foening Ftar Bucrorf, REC Offices are maintained for Northwest 14th and P sts.—Day’s Pharmacy. 1135 14th st. — Marty’s Cigar & Magazine Store. 17th and Que sts.—Ken- ner's Pharmacy. 15th and U sts.—G.

NAVY DIRIGIBLE'S RECORD PRAISED Moffett Well Pleased With Los Angeles’ Performance in War Game. The Navy's air chief is well pleased with the performance of the U. S. §. Los Ang-les, which is seven years old | and has been operating for three weeks more than 2,000 miles from its hang: in maintaining contact with “friendly vessels” in the war games in the Pan- ama Canal region and in discovering the main body of the “hostile fleet.” Rear Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, | chief of the Bureau of Aeronauti Navy Department, said y in view of the Los Angel ance, this supports the Navy's cont:n- tion that “rigid airships have important potentialities in long-range reconnais- sance supporting the surface fleet.” The admiral's statement follows “The success of the naval a Los Angcles in maintaining contact | with theoretically friendly vessels and discovering the main body of the hostile fleet in the present naval maneuvers in Central America is significant, “Th: Navy Department has con- tended, based on exhaustive studi that rigid airships have important po- tentialities in long - range reconnais- sance supporting the surface fleet. Looking to the future it has support-d all endeavor designed to give the Navy and the Nation the fullest benefit from this newest factor in naval warfare and commerce.
