Appropriations Immediate Retirement of | Dirigible Los Angeles. |- | By the Associated Press Immediate retirement from the Navy of the veteran airship Los Angeles was recommended in a report to the House today by the Appropriations Commit- tee. In its explanation of the items in the Navy appropriation bill submitted yes- terday, the committee said since the new Macon, sister ship of the Akron, will be completed by next January 1, the Los Angeles should be decommissioned per- manently. It did not make specific rec- ommendations for disposal of the craft, but pointed out that a consider- | able part of the $270,000 allocated by | the budget for this ship could be saved by taking the step at once. During hearings on the bill, Rear Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, said it was intended to lay up the Los An- geles as soon as the Macon entered the service.
