URGES DRIGBLES . : diate Adoption of U. S. Airship Policy Is Rec- ommended. Immediate adoptionsof a national airship policy, including construction and’ operation of commercial and naval rigid airships and of an East Coast terminal for commercial trans- Atlantic airship service was recom- mended today in & preliminary report by a committee of the Business Advis- ory Council of the Commerce Depart- ment. The council recommended Govern- ment support for a military airship program and subsidies for commercial airship operation, especially between the United States and Europe. An immediate program to be “pub- licized, recognized and vigorously prosecuted” was urged. The Navy Department should continue in charge of the development of military air- ships, and the Commerce Department charged with supervision of the com- mercial airship policy, the report said. Immediate construction of a mod- ern training airship for the Navy was advocated and, pending this, the Los Angeles should be put in flying con- dition and used, it was proposed. The council urged legislation for a | merchant airship code similar to the merchant marine act, and construc- tion of a trans-Atlantic airship ter- minal and of the first of a series of commercial airships. The committee saild American in- difference to the airship “appears to be due to lack of information in the public mind and, what is more fmpor- tant, to overemphasis of the misfor- tunes which have accompanied the op- erations of military and naval air- ships.” t will probably surprise most peo- _"le,” the committee said, “to learn that ~wnot one single commercial passenger ! ‘has ever been killed or injured in the } thistory of lighter-than-air navigation. + *All the catastrophes have occurred to ! (naval or military ships, with the ex- ‘eeption of smash-ups on commercial | | icraft when only the crew was aboard. | ,In making this statement we include | the whole world, not merely the United | . Btates.” The committee recommended that the Federal Government begin at once the negotiation of a reciprocal agree- | ment with foreign governments for | | the international operation of air- ' ships. This agreement should cover | . the operation of at least two large | rigid airships across the Atlantic, al- | | ternating with two foreign airships in ) regular commercial schedules. .

Secretary Ickes of the Interior De- partment today denied flatly he had | been offered the post of controller general of the United States and had | declined it.

Mr. Ickes, according to this report, replied that he was now 62 years old and that at the end of a 15-year term as controller general he would be 77. He suggested to the of the most important. The record he has made not only as Secretary of the Interior, but also as public works ad- ministrator, has created & firm beliet on the part of the public that he would be & real “watchdog of the Treasury” if he became controller gen- eral, and that the office would be kept entirely outside of politics. According to his intimates, Ickes does not wish to become controller general, and he would much prefer to continue as Secretary of the Interior | and as public works administrator. He | has a keen interest in the public works program of the administration.
