Recommendation that the high Navy command be given until the next ses- sion of Congress to correct its “mis- taken policy” of transferring airship personnel to sea duty, under penalty of lesing aircraft operations to a sepa- rate Navy air corps, has been made to Congress by the Special Joint Con- gressional Committee appointed to study the Akron disaster. In reports submitted simultaneously to the Senate and House yesterday members of the committee criticized naval activity, both before and after the Akron plunged into the sea off Barnegat Light. The investigation of the disaster by the Naval Court of In- quiry, the committee members report- ed, “was lacking in thoroughness.” Cites Akron Disaster Cause. Committee members charged that lack of experience and knowledge of weather conditions “contributed largely to the disaster,” and that “had there been more experience and better trained men in command of the Akron, the disaster probably would not have occurred.” “We feel bound to warn the Navy Department against following the same mistaken policy in the management of the Macon (new Navy airship) that contributed to the disaster to the Akron, so that every safeguard should surround the operation of the Macon,” the committee stated. “It is our opinion that in case the Navy Department has not corrected this” situation before the convening of the next session of Congress that it “The i t 1 proot thereof within thiee months from s date or they may be dissliowed. .
