SUPER RADIO BULLT FOR GIANT OF AR New Akron to Be Equipped With Most Powerful Set of Its Kind. The U. 8. 8. Akron, giant Navy dirigible now nearing complotion at Akron, Ohio, will be equipp=d with the most poweiful radio receiving aud transmitting apparatus ever carried into the air. The equipment will be the lightest in wesght and smallest in size for its power acience has yet developed. When bids for the manufacture of the Akron® radio equipment were ad- vertised. the Navy Department an- nounced yesterday, the. maximum weight allowance was set at 1,400 pounds and a bonus was offered for every pound below that weight, as well or apeed in delivery. Westinghouse Has Contract. ‘The Westinghouse Electric Manu- facturing Co., contractors, have brought the weight down to 1,000 pounds through the use of light material. Specifications for the Akron's radio equipment were prepared by the Navy from its experience with radio equip- ment aboard the U. 8. S. Los Angeles. The Akron is to have a high fre- quency, intermediate frequency and di- rection finding outfits. Two trailing antennas will be installed. One will be 500 feet long, with a 20-pound lead “fish” weight; the other 150 feet long, with a 15-pound fish. There also will be a fixed antenna outside the huge hull, carried on short struts extending out from one of the lower longitudinal girders. Batteries to Be Carried. Power for the transmitting set will be obtalned from the ship’s auxiliary power unit, consisting of two independent gasoline-engine driven generators. For emergency power a high-capacity stor- age battery will be installed The Akron's radio equipment will be in charge of one of the junior officers of the regular crew. The radio crew will consist of four Navy radiomen. A Navy electrician’s mate will b2 assigned | to the Akron to take charge of the upkeep.

When they set the plane down at Blagovestchensk they had more than pa=ed the half-way mark of their 15,000-mile flight against the record around the world and had put 8,415 miles behind them.

MOSCOW (By mail).—A pale-red sun rises over a vact snow-covered hor- izon. It is 10 o'clock daylight saving time in mid-February. The train is| speeding eastward toward Moscow. Every four or five minutes a village comes into view—60 or 80 peasant huts strung out in single file. The snow on their straw roofs is a foot deep; it is three feet high on the ground. ‘The weather is 30 below zero and the smoke from the chimneys ascends in flery columns or spirals. There is an unbroken brooding over the land; man and beast are indoors. It is Russla, the traditional, white, epic Russia. An- | ecdotes of Peter the Great come to | mind. Abruptly the scene changes. With no warning the skeletonized form of a modern, almost American city, Aprlnfn from the frozen plain Pactories in various stages of con- struction, homes in the making; a| school house, a hospital, a public bath. On scaffolds men in sheepskin tunics and shaggy felt hats drawn over their ears are swinging hammers, glyln‘ Tiv- eting machines, working with unnatu- rallway platform 1s crowded with bales, crates, boxes—ma- terfals, tools, machinery, bearing la- bels and inscriptions in a half dozen languiges. ‘These are being upon sleds by peasants unaccustomed to the handling of such objects, who shout and gesticulate excitedly. Bonfires Warm Workers. Along the tracks bonfires are blaz- | ing, and every few seconds one or An- other of the peasants rushes up to arm his hands. There is a wireless ation and a Red soldier stands guard in front of it. For an instant one has the sensa- tion of having run into a weird, unreal world. The deflance of nature seems so unreasoned, the entire picture chimer- ical. But the illusion dies and one is gripped with the reality of the spec- tacle. with is an Plan, Russia’s, or more properly, Stal- in’s ladder to an industrial millenium such as hitherto had existed only in the pages of books on utopfas. For the past two and a half yea it will soon be three—Russia's 160,000, bread and dreams. The bread is 1 tioned: the dr s are supplied in un- limited ouantities. Ths bread is made of a mixture part flour ard part cesn- meal. or some other cheaper subsiituie for flour. Of what consistency are { thefr hopes and dreams? Dreams Woven of Steel ‘Three-fourths of the dreams the Kremlin feeds the Russian people on consist of steel. Steel in the liieral sense; steel from which plows are made, which goes Into the comstruc- tion of tanks and tractors and harvest- ing combines; steel from which ma- chines and implements are produced. Land and machines—these were the two things the Russion people hungered and prayed for under the old regime. Lenin converted his Bolshevist coup d'etat, which many of his coworkers scarcely expected to last more than a few months, into a stable, political order by the simple expedient of giv- ing the peasants the land they asked for. Stalin has made himself dictator— though he denies being anything but & leader—by promising the Russian | people machines. The Five Year Plan is the concrete form this promise has taken. Bread is not the only thing rationed in the Soviet Union. Meat and fish, tea and sugar, next to bre imported siaples in the Russian home, are rationed. Milk, eggs and butter re rationed to children only. Wood is roan is rationed, tobacco is Living space is rationed | School privileges, at least for secondary edurltlnn. are rationed. Women stand in line for hours to obtain a kilo of litre of kerosene, three Medical service is tioned and there are walting lists for hospital beds. These are not the only sacrifices the Stalin regime has imposed upon the Russian people fo Year Plan. Great Sacrifices Made. Millions of men have been dislodged from their homes temporarily, some permanently. Huge forests have been cleared, marshes drained and vast areas of steppe and swimp put under cultivation by armies of workmen transported two. three or even five thousand miles for the purpose. ‘Those who stayed behind have found their regimen completely changed. They have submitted to the taking of their Sundays (the great majority in spite of deep-seated re- | and the substitu- | ligious convictions) , tion of other d: of rest that the work of the Five Year Plan may.go | on_uninterruptedly.
