He said the | sea was very rough at the time and while numerous pieces of wreckage were gcen no bodies were found in the water. “These are probably the only sur- vivors,” he said, indicating Wiley and the two enlisted men. Comdr. Wiley arrived wearing his own uniform jacket, shrunken so it barely covered him, and trousers and shoes he had borrowed from a Coast Guardsman. “I can't talk,” he said, and climbed up to the front seat of one of the am- bulances, “How do you feel?” some one in the | welcoming crowd shouted. “Oh, I'm all right,” the officer re- Plied and the ambulance drove off. Terrific Explosion. Erwin walked from the Tucker wrap- Eed in blankets and only shook his ead in response to all questions. Comdr. Whitbeck said that all his| crew had been ordered to maintain | strict silence concerning all they had | seen until a full official report should be_made. Some time after the Tucker arrived Comdr. Whitbeck said that he judged there had been a “terrific explosion” on the Akron. He based this opinion, he said, on the small size of the scattered pieces of wreckage. Life Boats Sent Out. Following the report of wreckage near Atlantic City life boats were sent out from Coast Guard stations at| Longport, Townsend Inlet and Stone | Harbor. Several airplanes, held back during the darkness because of low ceiling, took off after dawn to assist in the search. The Tucker reported by wireless that it sighted wreckage at the scene of the crash. The message was timed at 6:04 am. An hour later the cruiser Port-| land could find no wreckage at the same place and Navy officials for a time assumed the ship had gone to the bottom. At Akron, Ohio, where the Akron was constructed by the Goodyear Co., offi- cials predicted the accident would affect the future of lighter-than-air craft, A sister ship, the Macon, was recently completed and is about to undergo tests. Admiral Moffett christened the Macon & few weeks ago. Survivors of Crash. The survivors of the Akron, besides ‘Wiley, are Moody E. Erwin and Richard E. Deal. both enlisted men. Deal also survived the crash of the Shenandosh in 1925. The dead man was Robert W. Copeland, chief radio operator of the Akron. The tanker Phoebus, flying the flag of the Danzig Free State and bound from New. York for Tampico, was ‘within a few miles of the Akron when her wireless spluttered an S O S ¢hrough static-choked skies at 1:30 o'clock.

I changed my course to ap- fimch the lights, and soon heard men ailing me from the water.” It was Capt. Dalldorf and his men of the Phoebus who rescued the four Teported picked up. Took Off at 7:30 Last Night. None of the reports either to the Navy Department or Coast Guard made any mention of the airship’s com- mander, F. C. McCord. In addition to Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Navy's aero- nautical division; Comdr. McCord and | Lieut. Comdr. Wiley, there were aboard the Akron when she took off from her Lakehurst hangar at 7:30 o'clock last night, Comdrs. H. B. Cecil and F. T. Berry and Col. A. F. Masbury, United States Army. The Akron was on a test flight which was to have taken her along the New England Coast. She was to have re- + turned tomorrow. Such test flights are frequent. The Akron returned two Weeks ago from an extended cruise to Panama. There was no definite information as to_what happened aboard the ship.

The others were re- * ported suffering from “submersion and exposure.” As dawn came, dull but rainless, the Phoebus remained standing by, joined mow by the swift Portland of the Coast Guard, and with crack naval airmen searching the waters from roaring planes above. Seas Too Rough. Some reports from the Coast Guard, wirelessed to its base, made mention of “wreckage” indicating that the Akron had not been able to ride on the disturbed seas. It had been hoped by naval men that the airship might have come down slowly enough to “sit” upon the waters and possibly with- stand the tearing waves. It nad even been planned to lift the craft by the use of gas balloons—a nlvn‘(be‘nml- tion apparently definitely ed in view of the reports from the Ccast | ‘Guard vessels. ‘WO ' families in Washington are fighting the horrors of almost | hopeless uncertainty with a su-, perb fortitude. { In the red brick house of Admiral Willlam A.

The two younger children, Charles F. Moffett, who is preparing for Annap- olis at the Shadman School, and 14- year-old Anna Beverley, who goes to Miss Eastman’s School, live with their mother. A message of steadfast courage was given by Mrs. Moffett. “I have every belief ‘that Admiral Moffett is all right and I shall hear from him,” she said. “I shall not ‘believe otherwise until I have definite word from the Navy that” he is really lost. “So many little boats not equipped with radio are on those waters that there is every chance that many of the men may have been saved. “The admiral had a way of coming THE EVENING STAR, W Families Cling to Last Hope RELATIVES OF AKRON OFFICERS AWAIT WORD.

NEW YORK, April 4—Warning that a “terrific burden of taxation” would be imposed by the medical insurance ad- vocated by the recent report of the Committee on Costs of Medical Care was adopted last night by the Medical Society of the State of New York. Instead of insured medicine, the New York Society adopted seven recommen- dGations: First—Free medical care for the worthy poor, paid for by taxation. Second—Zoning of those persons en- led to free service in hospitals. Third—For those below the “comfort level” in incomes, payment of a “small annual fee” for hospital care up to 21 cays annually. The family physician would grant these admissions to hos- pitals, Fourth—Opposition to “further ex- tension of the Federal Government in hospitalization and medical service to non-war-incurred disabilities of vet- erans.” Fifth—Stop treating workmen's com- pensation cases free in hospitals sup- ported by public funds, but allow the FLospitals or physicians to retain the State-allowed compensation fees.

Mcffett, who was aboard the Akron when it 11l into the sea early today, probably has | given his life in championing through cight years—since the destruction of the dirigible Shenandoah in 1925—the cause of lighter-than-air craft, in which he never lost faith. As the Navy's first and only aero- nautics chief, the development of lighter-than-air craft in America is | largely due, it was sald in offirial cir- cles,. to the vision, determination and untiring efforts of Admiral MofTetc. For 12 years, as chief of the Bures:1 of Aecronautics and particularly when | popular belief in the airship was shat- | tered by the tragedy of the Shenan- | doah, Admiral Moffett advocated and pushed ahead in the face of discourag- ing setbacks. the building of more and bigger dirigibles, The results of these efforts were seen in the completion of the Akron and the recent launching of the dirigible Macon. Was to Have Retired. Admiral Moffett's third term would have expired officially on April 22, just four years after the date of his con- firmation by the Senate. In November | he was to have retired from active | service after a career of 43 years since | his graduation from the Naval Acad- | emy in 1890. His career in ‘he Navy has included service cn wooden ships, mcdern steel battleships and aircraft. He received his baptism of fire as an ensign under Admiral Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. It was in the-development of naval aeronautics that Admiral Moffett made for himself a name ranking among the foremost in the world. When 14 men were killed on the Shenandoah, Admiral Moffett almost single-handed faced the storm of criticism that broke in Congress, directed at the suitability of the airship in aviation. He fought and won that battle when the iwhole cause of lighter-than-air craft ap- peared at stake. His faith n this form of aeronautics never diminished and was demonstrated in his iest of- ficlal act, when he went aboard the Akron on its final voyage. Admiral Moffett left the Navy De- partment at 1 o'clock yesterday to drive to Lakehurst for the flight. He fre- quently was aboard during the huge craft's weekly training jaunts and had it not been for him it is entirely pos- sible that the Akron and her successor, the Macon, would not have been built. Popular Naval Officer. Admiral Moffett's genial personality, which made him one of the best liked offieers _in the- service, helped smooth out differences in the Navy that de- veloped over the airship. He was named chief of the newly organized Bureau of Aeronautics by President Harding in July, 1921, and assumed his duties in September. He | Was reappointed by President Coolidge | in March, 1925, and was named agal for a four-year period on March 13, 1929, by President Hoover on the rec- ommendation of Secretary of the Navy Charles Prancis Adams. Admiral Moffett was born in Charles- ton, S. C.,, October 31, 1869. He saw service on board the Charleston during the Spanish-American War, taking part in the battle of Manila Bay. In the trouble with Mexico he commanded the cruiser Chester during the occu- pation of Vera Cruz in 1914, and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroic_service. From 1914 to 1918 Admiral Moffett commanded the United States Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, IlI,, later being named commandant of the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Naval Dis- tricts. Then a captain, he received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal for this service. From the Great Lakes he went to command the U. S. S. Missis- sippi after the war. A little later he turned to aviation, which has been his chief interest since. Served as United States Adviser. Admiral Moffett served as the tech- nical adviser to the American delega- tion at the Washington Limitation of Armaments Conference in 1921-22 and| was technical adviser at the London | Conference in 1930. Under him in the last 12 years naval aeronautics have advanced to a re- markable degree. The bureau im- mediately took as its aim the develop- ment of aviation in the fleet.
