. » AKRON'S SECOND TEST SET TONGHT Rear Admiral Day Announces Proposal to Make Short Evening Flight. By the Associated Press. . AKRON, Ohilo, September 24.—The second test flight of the Akron, the Navy's new “sky battleship,” was set for tonight by naval officials today. Rear Admiral G. C. Day, president of the Board of Inspection and Survey of the Navy, issued a statement saying: “Tt is p to make a short eve- ning flight today. Undocking (taking the ship out of the hangar) during the sunset period is practicable.” The new dirigible, the largest in the world, was successfully landed after dark yesterday at the conclusion of her first flight to de ine her air- worthiness. It was expected tonight's %hl ‘would be made around sundown. e second venture into the air will be another of a serles of tests to be undergone before the ship is finally gccepted by the Navy. Maiden Flight Success. Staffed with the coiors of the United States, the new pride of the Navy soared aloft in maiden flight for three hours and 47 minutes yesterday afternoon and when it descended carried with it the supremacy of lighter-than-alr ships. The flight was the first test for the world’s largest dirigible, built by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation for the Navy. Its -success was amply evidenced in the chorus of approval from high Gov- ernment officials and technical experts, who went along on the 125-mile flight as observers. . 2 The silver-hulled Leviathan -of the skyways carried 113 men, passengers and crew, which sets a.new record for America and is believed to be the great- est passenger list of any airship in the world. Speculate on Cruising Ability. Already the Navy is speculating on the manifold cruising possibilites, re- vealed in the initial flight. The Akron has a cruising range of 11,000 miles at 50 knots. ““'We expec! said Rear Admiral Moffett, “to learn lessons far beyond these taught by the operations @n¢ experiences of the Los Angeles and the Graf Zefpelln because of the Gesigned _superiority of the Akron. “Perhaps there will be tri] over the Atlantic, perhaps to far-off lands now inaccessible, and perhaps over the Pacific—to Hawall, Guam and maybe beyond. > “Truly.” summed up the chief of t Naval Bureau of Aeronautics. “with completion of the Akron the United States resumes world leadership in lighter-than-air.” Commanding the Akron was Lieut. Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl, ‘former skipper of the Los Angeles and & sur- vivor of the wreck of the Shenandoah. which occurred six years ago not far from the birthplace of the Akron. Secretary Adams on Board. Aboard were Charles F. Adams, Sec- relary of the Navy; Rear Admiral Mof- fett, David S. Ingalls, Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy for Aerenautics, and Paul W. Li d, president of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation. Shortly after 3:30 p.m., to the boom- Ing salute of 21 guns, the Akron weighed off. Two hundred tiousand land lub- = colors ,of the United States snapped in the breeze aft, whi'e from the control car was unfurled the Secre- tary of the Navy's pennant, As the ship ross lazily to about 200 feet, the sun burst through clouds turning the stubby cigar-shaped monster into burnished silver. ¢ Shortly after 8 o'clock it appearsd over Cleveland. Immediately downtown streets were lormed info & mass of humanity as people rushed forth o] look. Circling slowly about the 600 | foot pinnacle of the Terminal Tower. the Akron skirted the shore of Lake Er'e and headed south for Akron ggain. At 8:15, in a blaze of lights, she was made snug in her dock. s successful fight recorded on the log. The Akron, constructed at a eost of | $5.375,000. must be flown a total of 75 hours befors acceptance bv the Navy. She is the first dirigible built in the United States aftr the Jil- = Shenandoah: { i Additionsl * fiights will be made at on~e, it was indicated by the Navy.

MANILA, September 24.—The Insular Legislature today unanimously adopted & resolution memorializing Congress for immediate independence for the Philip- pines. The memorial was passed at & joint session of the two houses and was de- livered to Secretary of. War Patrick J. Hurley, now officially visiting the Phil- ippines, for delivery to Congress and President Hoover. Expressing the belief that separation was the only solutiom~of the Philippine problem, the memorial said that the “independence of America from the Philippines would seem to be as im- perative as the independence of the Philippines from America.” Not Seeking Reforms. Prior to the adoption of the resolu- | tion, Acting Senate President Bfmol In Osmena addressed the session speech which many interpreted as a direct rcfusal of Filipino leaders to ac- cept the statement of Secretary Hurley that he was trying to work out ar- rangements whereby the two peoples could live happily together. “We are not seeking reforms or changes in our government,” Osmena “We are not interested in new government formulas. _Autonomy is what our people want.

America is ready to forego some of | her crulser rights urider the London treaty to aid world disarmament. Construction of 11 destroyers on which bids were opened recently is considered necessary, However, to re- place obsolete types and help relieve unemployment. Secretary Stimson, inBicating accep- tance in principle of Italy’s proposal now before the League of Nations for # year's maval holiday, spefically ex- cepted the destroyers from any such agreement.. Because of America's in- terést in disarmament, he said. the United States was willing to forego some of its cruiser bullding rights in its-belief an arms truce at this time would favor the success of the dis- armament conference at Geneva in February. Cruiser Level Below Quota. 'Stimson made public the statement of Hugh R. Wilson, the American representative, before the third com- mittee of the League assembly. It contended the cruiser level of the United States was “considerably hc-‘ low” London treaty quota. Pallure to_increase naval strength for a year, Wilson sald, would cause “embarrasement and a disloction of construction plans.” He held approval of any particular form of agreement would be impossible | e pending a complete survey of the naval factors of the problem. Suggestions relating to air and land disarmament, he sald, were practizable and of nature ecceptable to America. Secretary Stimson made it plain that the proposal advanced by Italy and now under consideration at Geneva provides for a holiday on new construc- tion only, and would not apply to the seven crulsers, three submarines and an aireraft carrier now being built for ¢ the American Navy. Seven New Crulsers. The seven American crulsers now be- { ing built are: The New Orleans, at the New York Navy Yard, to be completed in June, 1932. The Portland, the Bethlehem Ship- bullding Co., Fore River, Mass., to be completed in August, 1932. The Asforia, the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Wash.,, to be com- pleted in October. 1933. The Indianapolis, New York Ship- building Co., Camden. N. J,, to'be com- pleted in August, 1932. The Tuscaloosa, also at the Camden yards, to be completed in March, 1934, The Minneapolis, Philadelphia Navy Yard, to be completed in October. 1933 ‘The San Prancisco, Mare Island Navy Yard, to be complet=d in February, 1932 The estimated construction costs fo each eruiser is $17,000,000. The aireraft carrier. Ranger, to ap- proximate 13,800 tons, is building at the vards of the Newport Shipbuilding & Drydock tion, ‘Newport News, Va. It is estimated to cost $19.000,000 and would be completed in May, 1934, The three submarines, all of ths flect type, are being constructed at an esti- mated cost of $5,000,000 each. Dolphin s at the Portsmouth, N. H,, Navy Yard, 1o be completed in August, 1932; the Cachalot, also at Portsmouth, to finished in September, 1933, and the Cuttlefish, being built by the Elec- tric Boat Co., Groton, Conn., to be fin- ished in December, 1933.
