TIELR ALASANSORES Adams Advises Lamont Serv- ices Will Be Glad to Assist Expedition. The Navy this Summer will assist in charting one of the blank spaces on the map of Alaska by supplying two small amphibian planes and & mine sweeper as_tender for the expedition. News of the forthcoming expedition | became known yesterday with the an- nouncement that Secretary of the Navy Adams has advised Secretary of Com- merce Lamont the Navy would be glad to aid. Capt. R. S. Patton, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, requested that naval assistance be furnished to extend the mapping of certain sections of Alaska, and particularly to carry for- ward the continuous survey from Chig- nik Bay westward. This region is in Southern Alaska. For a number of years the Coast and Geodetic Survey has been carrying on work in that area. In proposing the expedition Secretary Lamont wrote to the Naval Secretary: “The shores of the region to be sur- veyed are mainly rugged and exposed to heavy wave attack, making surveys by the usual ground method both laborious and hazardous. - Procurement of topo- | graphic data by airplane photography | therefore becomes the better method.” - Some years ago the Navy aided the | Interior Department in mapping a por- tion of Southeastern Alaska. Details of the forthcoming expedition will be de- veloped at a conference between offi- «clals of the Commerce and Navy Departments. TRANSOCEAN AIRSHIP LINES ARE FORECAST offett Testifies at House Commit- tee Hearing on Airmail Contracts. By the Associated Press. A not distant day when huge airships will speed passenger and freight across the oceans was pictured yesterday for the House Commerce Committee. It was studying the Crosser bill, Wwhich would let the Post Office Depart- ment give a subsidy in the form of an eirmail contract to airship companies. “I believe passage of the act would make it possible to build these &nd operate them at a profit,” testified Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Navy's Aeronautic Bureau. The Navy, he said, built the Shenan- doah and the Akron and operates the Los Angeles “largely because we believe they will be of very great value com- mercially.” “They will go twice as fast as the| fastest surface ship and three to four times as fast as the average surface ship,” he added. The admiral said there were great possibilities for airship lines not only across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but between North and South America 8s_well. F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secre- tary of War, agreed with Moffett that lighter-than-air ships used commer- cially in peace time would be of benefit in time of war. PUBLIC HEALTH HEAD SWORN FOURTH TIME Hugh §. Cummings Begins New Term in Office of Surgeon General. By the Associated Press. Hugh S. Cumming yesterday took the oath of surgeon general of the Public Health Service for the fourth time. He predicted later that the current economic situation would result in a change in the relation of the medical profession to the public. He doubted that result would be socialized medicine or state medicine as it now exists in some countries, but said: “No profession has been so hard hit, 8s a whole, as medicine, because we can’t have moratoriums on the doctors’ duties, whether or not financial returns are available. At the same time the practice of medicine has come to re- quire greater and greater outlays in ad- dition to mental work and many be- lieve that while service is lvtu.lblae to the very rich and poor, it is expensive to the m&;flxdle c].‘llsx:es Pl ‘Cumm! a ginian, entered Public Health Service 38 years ago. He Is 62 and has been surgeon general since 1920. He stopped at Secretary Mills’ office o take the oath on his way to work, SILVER RELIéF URGED BY NEW YORK BANKER George W. Leman Tells Hou > Sub- committee International Con- ference Might Help. By the Associated Press. Hope that something can be done for Bilver to help the United States’ best | future market, was expressed yesterday | before a House committee by George W. Leman, assistant secretary of the Irving Trust Co. of New York. He told the House Coinage subcom- smittee studying silver that an interna- tional conference might do some good. Leman emphasized the importance of trade with the Far East, and sald com- fmerce was adversely affected by the Hepreciation im the value of silver. “The Far East is a tremendous po- fential market,” Leman said. “I look ®pon it as the part of the world we can look to in the future for a trade market.” — Just as he was about to become en- gaged to his twenty-sixth flancee, a young Belgrade electrician was arrested.
