o WOMEN'S CLUBS OPPOSE ABATTOIR Resolution Indorsing King Bill in Principle Is In- troduced. Operation of the proposed abattoir &t Benning was unanimously opposed today by the District Federation of ‘Women's Clubs at the opening session of its two-day annual meeting at the Roosevelt Hotel. Approximately 150 delegates of the federation’s 35 mem- ber clubs were present. Miss Elaine Eppley, chairman of the federation's Water and Waterways Committee, introduced the approved resolution. “An abattoir at the proposed site,” she said, “would undoubtedly add to the pollution of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers.” Miss Eppley ex- plained the building to be used was situated on Popes Run, a branch of the Anacostia River, “The Gobel Co. desires to come here and slaughter a much larger number of animals than are neces- sary to meet the District's needs,” she declared. King Bill Principle Indorsed. The resolution indorsed in principle the King bill, designed to prohibit use of District property for manufacture or industry of a “dangerous” or ‘nuis- ance” nature. Reports of committee chairmen fea- tured the morning session, presided over by Mrs. Lloyd W. Biddle, presi- dent, Mrs. James Underwood, chairman of the War Veterans' Committee, out- Hned last year's program of entertain- ing ex-soldiers stationed at Walter Reed Hospital. A junior women’s club pin of the General Federation of Women's Clubs Wwas presented by Mrs. Biddle to Mrs. John T. Lucher, president of the Junior Women's Club of Takoma Park, Md. The pin is to be handed down from president to president of the jun- for organization, Poems to Be Read. Prize-winning poems in a contest conducted by Miss Inez Taylor will be read this afternoon.

Capt. Peyton Evans, jr., Thomas Holcomb, U. S. M. C., Hindenburg (Continued From First Page.) without headway when the flames puffed through the small patch of fabric near her fin. The mooring gear and the ground crew, he declared, were “in all readiness to receive the Hindenburg.” Just_before the disaster struck, he said. “I feel that, as far as the ground crew was concerned, we had the ship definitely under control.” The first explosion in the hull, Tyler testified, was, in his opinion, “a gas explosion.” Had there been an explosive mix- ture (about 80 per cent hydrogen and | 20 per cent air). the detonation would | have been terrific,” he stated, indicat- ing he believed only a little air was mixed with the exploding hydrogen. Line Not a Conductor. He repeated at this point that the Hindenburg's dry and dusty landing lines Thursday night were “definitely not a conductor” which would carry the static electricity she has accumu- lated to the ground. He was questioned about the line: Q. Does it require a metal line to ground the ship? A. A metal line or a wet line. Q. If this ship was maneuvering in the rain, would the lines be apt to be moistened? A. No. They are housed inside the ship.” The committee then conferred with its technical advisors, among them Comdr. Rosendahl, who expressed the belief Monday that the Manila any static because of the wet weather conditions. Traveled on Hindenburg. As Tyler testified, one of the Navy's nonriged blimps sailed over the air station, training men in aeronautics against the day when, the station personnel hopes, the United States again will have dirigibles. Tyler described his service on the Shenandoah and Los Angeles and told how, in Europe as a member of the Navy's 1935 balloon racing team, he was shown through the Hindenburg and given a detailed description of its construction by Knut Eckner, son | of the designer. “I also made a trip to Europe last Fall on the Hindenburg.,” he said, “and as one of the official naval ob- servers, it was my duty to get as much data as possible on the ship.” It was his task last Saturday, Tyler said, to see that mooring gear and landing crew were in readiness, and they were “in all respects ready to re- ceive the Hindenburg.” Rope Was Dry. He said there were 231 men in the ground crew, 92 officers and men from the station and 139 civilians. “The key positions were handled by experienced Navy men,” he said. Tyler said the ship finally came in under considerable headway and ap- peared to be running its four engines full speed astern to check the me- mentum. The trail ropes were dropped at 6:21 p.m, he said. “During the approach the ship gave the appearance of being slightly heavy ropes normally would have grounded at the stern and water ballast was dropped aft.” The ship, about 200 feet in the air, started to rise and drift to starboard. This was checked by the port rope connected to the port trail line. “I touched the port rope. I know it was dry,” he said in answer to a question.

You spoke of the heaviness of the ship aft. Could this happen at any time? A. Absolutely. It was normal for the time. Q. Were all three water ballast discharges made aft? A. I noticed no ballast dropped forward. I just noticed the one dis- charge as she was making her ap- proach. Asked whether any line from the after part of the ship touched the ground, Tyler said: “I am sure it did not.” Resuming his narrative, the ground officer said the drift to starboard | was checked and the starboard rope was about to be attached. Flame—Then a Report. “I feel that, as far as the ground | crew was concerned, we had the ship definitely under control,” he said | I suddenly noticed a burst of flame | followed by a loud report just forward of the port fin and slightly above the | longitudinal axis of the ship ““The fire spread very rapidly. The ship’s main cable had not been con- nected to the mast. As the ship be- gan to fall orders were given to all hands to keep clear. “As soon as the forward section of the ship, the control car, had touched the ground and, although still blazing flercely and the danger of further ex- plosions was definite hazard, members of the ground crew rushed to the area immediately adjacent to the passenger space and rendered invaluable aid in rescue work.” Flame Not Large. Tyler said that there was no method of communication between ship and | ground at the final stage of landing ex- cept by megaphone and that, “to my knowledge, the captain at no time tried to communicate with me.” Asked by Mulligan whether he be- lieved the Hindenburg trail ropes could have discharged static, Tyler said: “I do not.” “What was the size of the flame when you first saw it?” asked Mulli- gan. “It was not so large” Tyler said. “I would say it would cover an area Probably 10 feet by 5 feet.” He said it seemed to be “outward” from the ship and spread rapidly for- ward. No Pressure in Flame. Asked by Maj. R. W. Shroeder, as- sistant director of the Air Commerce Bureau, if there were pressure behind the flame, the lieutenant said his “re- action would be it was an explosion flame,” but that was “merely a guess.” Tyler testified that the first de- tonation was “a gas explosion.” “Had there been an explosive mix- ture (hydrogen with about 20 per cent air), the detonation would have been terrific,” he said. Q. Any static charge dissipated through the lines dropped? A. Dry lines are definitely not a conductor. Once the water ballast had been dropped, Tyler said, the dirigible did not appear to be tail-heavy. “She was definitely light forward. After the lines had been dropped, she did rise, but whether or not the People in the control car valved gas to check this rise I cannot say.” “The two forward engines were run- ning astern and the rear engines were running full speed astern,” he said, describing this as normal pocedure in mooring. Maj. Schroeder asked whether the Tear motors backfired and Lieut. Tyler Treplied “Not to my knowledge.” ‘The Navy officer was excused after —_— e ©® USED GRAND VALUES @ $450 Schubert, now._$145 $550 Kimmel, now___$195 $425 Arthur Jordon, now, $295 $495 Cable & Sons, now, 425 (Used for only ¢ months) $1,275 Chickering $550 (In_New Plano Condition.) $1,325 Mason & Hamlin, $95 (In New Piano Condition) © Easy Terms—Your Piane © in Trade Pianos for Rent—$3 mo. up Call National 3223 ARTHUR JORDAN PIANO COMPANY 1239 G St., Cor. 13th WASHINGTO. WESTERN CADETS WINDRILL HONORS Woodrow Wilson Company Is Second and Eastern High Third. For the seventeenth time Western High School cadets won a place in the annual company competitive drill, concluded at Griffith Stadium yes- terday, when its L Company, under Capt. Peyton R. Evans, jr., marched off with top honors. Compeny A of Woodrow Wilson was second and A Company at Eastern took third. More than 20,000 supporters, seated in the stands according to schools, saw Evans, his face flushed with joy, re- ceive from the reviewing officer, Maj. Gen. Thomas Holcomb of the Marine Corps, the cherished and valuable Allison Nailor Medal. Gen. Holcomb, & Western alumnus of some 40 years, conferred the diamond-studded award upon the representative of his alma mater. Western also won the cup, presented for the first time this year, for its companies having a higher general average during the drill than those of any other school. Cadet Lieut. Col. John Cornwell received the trophy on behalf of the regiment. Other Awards Made. After the receipt of its medals by the winning company, the second place Woodrow Wilson unit marched from the brigade formation, strung out across the entire base ball out- field, to the point near the visiting team dugout, where the general stood and Capt. Irl Brent was presented the medal and ribbons. Capt. Vinson T. Henderson and his victorious Eastern company did the same. Woodrow Wilson scored a double victory when its E Company, under Capt. Herzmark Safer, won the Feb- ruary company prize from Central's F Company, the only other February unit Other awards presented were to Capt. Lawrence Richardson, Drum Maj. Don Collier and the faculty di- rector of the Roosevelt Band, winner in the recent band contest; the non- commissioned officer medals to Sergt. Robert Rands of I Company at Roose- velt and First Sergt. Stewart Labat of A Company at Central, and the Bunker Hill Post, No. 31, American Legion medal to First Sergt. J. Boggs of the first place Western unit. Companies Are Cheered. The exhibition started promptly at 2 p.m. and ran off according to sched- ule, \the six companies, chosen by lot from the six high schools, going on at half-hour intervals. Loud cheers | from supporters greeted the appear- ance of each unit and tense interest was shown by all groups in the “stack | test.” The companies, formed in pla- toon fronts facing the scoreboard, were ordered to “stack arms” as part of the routine. Lieut. Forrest Cara- way, who, with Capt. James Regan, jr.. judged the contest, then passed down the line of stacked rifles testing the strength of each squad's stack. Cheers and moans greeted the col- lapse of a stack, and bedlam reigned during the later afternoon as the cadets, knowing what to expect, grouped their guns together so strongly that all survived the test. The afternoon was not without its | humorous incidents. Several times | individuals failed to hear commands and provided short solo excursions toward the stands until the amused shouts of the crowd sent them scurry- ing back to their groups. Following the drill the regiments held parties at their schools, and members of winning units are to en- | Joy special privileges this week at various places of amusement in the | city.

Mrs. Norton also declared she had received a number of indorsements, principally from women employed in mercantile establishments. “It seems to me that the unanimous voice of the District is in favor of an extra hour of daylight,” she declared. Representative Arnold led the oppo- sition to the daylight saving bill. He declared, “It is time we got back to God's time and it's a good thing for the District to start the move.” Clerk’s Opposition Seen. He said all clerks with whom he had talked opposed the bill and added: “I don't think there is any demand for it.” Sacks was named chairman of the subcommittee to hold hearings on the bill. The other members are Repre- sentatives McGehee and Bates. The committee favorably reported the Brewster bill designed to protect buyers of potatoes by requiring that these vegetables be sold in bags properly labeled with the United States grade and weight. Repre- Sentative Brewster, author of the measure, said he had made 10 pur- chases of potatoes at random in the District and found 25 per cent of them defective.

By the Associated Press. Two senatorial opponents of the Roosevelt court bill suggested today that Ambassador William E. Dodd re- turn from his Berlin post. Commenting on Dodd’s letter to Benators Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, and Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio, urg- ing support of the court reorganization bill because of a “dictatorship” threat to the United States, Senator Van Nuya. Democrat, of Indiana, said: “The Ambassador has overstepped the boundaries of his official position somewhat. His letter was ill-timed, ill-advised, unsolicited and out of keeping with his function as Ambas- sador.” May Be Asked to Explain. If Dodd “continues” to make such charges, Van Nuys added, he will ask through the State Department that the Ambaseador be “invited back here to appear before the Senate Judiciary or Foreign Relations Committee.” Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, sald Dodd's letter indicated he had become “imbued with Fascism” and had demonstrated that he was “not a proper man to represent this country in Germany.” Dodd’s letter warned of an Amer- ican billionaire who, he said, was pre- pared to “control” a “dictatorship” in this country. “No Comment.” Recalling rumors which have per- sisted since the advent of President Roosevelt’s second term that Dodd either was due for retirement from the foreign service or would be given an- other post, foreign quarters here spec- ulated over whether his letter might precipitate such a step.
