THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1935, XY IWPAVSE SLIRED INMACON INQURY Probe of Airship Disaster Becomes Discussion of “Asiatic Menace.” An investigation of the loss of the | airships Akron and Macon by the House Patents Committee today re- solved itself into a round-table dis- cussion of the “Asiatic menace,” dur- ing which Roy Knabenshue, balloon designer and builder, sald it was common knowledge that all along the Central American Coast there are Japanese colonies, composed of in- dividuals who are pledged, in case of | trouble between the United States and Japan, to destroy the Panama Canal. 500,000 Japanese soldiers in the United States, fully armed.” In response to a question by Siro- vich, the witness said these soldiers are living ostensibly as civilians in California and Hawali. He also said there are Japanese sloops all along the Pacific Coast, ostensibly for fish~ ing, but actually taking soundings and observations for use in case of war. Chairman Sirovich observed there appear to be many Japanese and Fili- pino taxicab drivers in Washington who drive Government officials and intimated that they might pick up scraps of information for ulterior pur- 0ses. 5 Knabenshue expressed the belief that one of the members of the Macon’s crew might have carried a small quantity of acid which he used on bracing wires or other portions of the structure in the tail of the Macon, causing structural failure, which sent !hfle airship to the bottom of the Pa- cific.

By the Associated Press. A reciprocal tariff treaty—the first such pact with s European indus- trial nation—was added today to the Government’s attempt to revive for- eign trade. It was the third treaty completed since Congress gave the President power last year to negotiate give-and- take agreements without Senate rati- fication. Lowering tariffs on more than 100 items, the pact gave the United States concessions mainly on agricultural products. Concesslons to Belglum days after exchange of ratifications and a proclamation by the President. Under the pact Luxemburg will re- celve and give the same terms as Bel- glum because they are linked in an economic union. Although concessions given Bel- glum must be extended, theoretically, to other nations with which the United States has a most-favored- nation treaty, the new agreement pro- vided that the terms to Belgium may be withdrawn if “low-cost” countries take undue advantage of them. Reductions averaging roughly 35 per cent were obtained by the United States on 22 articles, mostly agricul- tural products. A general reduction of 50 per cent on automobile parts ‘was granted also by Belgium. _— DIETITIAN JOBS OPEN Open competitive examinations for assistant astatistical clerk and various dietitian jobs were announced today by the Civil Service Commission.

Under the terms of & new emer- gency amendment to the airmail act, the Post Office Department today ex- tended six American Airlines and one United Airlines contracts which were to have expired today. ‘The contracts were extended to & 'full year from the dates of the original awards in May and early June. The airmail law of last year, for- bidding any company to hold contracts for more than one primary airmail route or three and secondary routes, would have forced United Air- lines to abandon its important Pacific Coast line and American Airlines to have relinquished three of its six routes. The emergency extension of these contracts was recommended by the Federal Aviation Commission and the SECRECY SHROUDS RANSOM BILL STORY Federal Officials Refuse Comment. Airline Admits, Depositing Gold Certificates. By the iated Press. BOSTON, February 28.—A wall of secrecy and denial today surrounded rumors that Lindbergh ransom money had been passed recently in Boston. Federal authorities here declined to comment on the discovery of a $10 and a $20 gold certificate in the bank account of the American Airlines, Inc. Airline officials here, however, admit- ted that two gold certificates had been found' in_their deposit of February 23 with the State Street Trust Co. David E. Hersee, vice president of the bank, belittled the rumor that the notes were ransom money. No Fed- eral investigators had requested knowl- edge of the source of the bills, he | said, therefore leading him to believe the notes could not have been®part of the ransom money. Hersee told the Associated Press the bills were the new style, small-sized green certificates bearing a small gold seal. A—1S |, Ministers Fear War.
