Selection Will. Be Based on Quotas
in Proportion to the
Population.
Washington. criticism and pro
tests from members of congress and
others contributed to a decision to
place the task of selecting members
of the conservation corps in the
hands of state employment officials
Robert Fechner, director of the Roose
velt conservation project, said the
labor department will depend on the
state agencies to recruit men after
selection of the first contingent of
25,200 who will begin entering con
ditioning army camps Friday. Each
state will be asked ultimately to sup
ply a quota in proportion to its popu
lation. "The labor department will con
sult with the state official having
the administration of unemployment
relief in the respective states and
wil larrange fore the selection of
men from the lists of applicants for
work for other assistance which al
ready exist in" every state of the
union,". Fechner said. In selecting
the first contingent numerous agen
cies, including; city relief organiz
ations, were authorized to contribute
quotas. Many members of congress
took exception to this system on
grounds that state organizations
were best fitted to decide which men
should go.

Akron Tragedy
May Mean End
of Dirigibles
Hope of Havy and Dream of Trans
- m J J " - A :

Craft Which Crashed.
Washington. First flights more
than eighteen years ago marked
peak of active interest by the U. S
navy in rigid airships, and the fate of
the giant Akron airship now has
served to raise, a question as to pos
sible revision of American policy In
air development.
The mammoth air cruiser, design
ed to be faster, stronger and larger
than any other in the world, em
bodied dreams spun from German
Zeppelin successes in the war.
Hope of New Transportation.
It was the first of two dirigibles
in whose construction the navy saw
not only the development of power
ful weapons to augment its fleet, but
the building of an industry for com
mercial interests to take up the air
ship as a transoceanic vehicle.
There was little to begin with in
1916 when the navy first saw its
vision. Naval attaches abroad were
able to send only meager informa
tion on special airship materials
From Scandinavia, where two Zeppe
lins were wrecked, came samples of
light but sturdy girder metal, dural
umin.
The first preliminary design of a
rigid air vessel contemplated a craft
nearly one-tenth as large as the Ak
ron. It was carried to a point wnere
sample aluminum girders were made
up and tested.
Not until 1918 was the navy able
to get comprehensive information on
airships in the for mof plans and de
scriptive booklets made by the French
from a German airship forced dowc
intact.
Previously the government's air
ship policy had been defined by a
joint army and navy body, called
the Zeppelin board, which recom
mended that the art of rigid con
struction be established on a sound
basis and that the navy department
was the logical organization to han
dle the work.
First steps were taken in 1919
when the ZR-1, later christened the
Shenandoah, was planned as a gen
eral copy of- the German L-49 that
had -been forced down in France. .
This act authorizing the airship
also provided funds to purchase one
abroad and to build the nucleus for a
complete airship construction and ex
periment station at Lakehurst, N. J.
An Accident in 1921.
Purchase of the English R-38, to
become the American ZR-2, was au
thorized In 1920. In 1921, while un
dergoing its fourth trial flight, the
ship was wrecked.
The Shenandoah, incorporating
changes resulting from the latest
practices in England and Germany,
wa3 completed in 1923, a year after
negotiations were completed for de
livery to the United States of a Ger
man Zeppelin, to become the ZR-3.
The ZR-3 was flown across the At
lantic in 1924 and christened the L03
Angeles. A year later it became the
navy's sole rigid when the Shenan
doah crashed over Ohio.
To keep abreast of developments
the navy went ahead to design an
other ship, though no construction
program had been up. The plans be
came the basic design of the two new
craft, the ZRS-4, or the Akron, and
its sister ship, the ZRS-5, recently
christened the Macon, which may
soon make her maiden flight.
The Los Angeles was decommis
sioned and placed out of service at
Lakehurst last June, Secretary Swan
son has announced he plans to sell
that dirigible.
Before being decommissioned she
was operated as a sort of flying labo
ratory for training of personnel and
gaining further knowledge of air
ships. BITZ THEATRE IS RE

State Forest
Agent Goes to
Washington
Seeks Federal Funds for Nebraska to
be Used in Reforestation Work
Work Already Started
Clayton Watkins of Lincoln, exten
sion forester of the University of Ne
braska, entrained Tuesday night for
Washington to see what portion this
state may receive of federal funds ap
propriated for President Roosevelt's
reforestation projectsp. With him he
carried an outline of two major pro
jects one in the Pine Ridge country
and one along the Platte river sug
gested by the game commission, as
feasible in this state and passed on
by Governor Bryan.
The governor sent Watkins to a
conference on the subject called in
Washington Thursday by Secretary
m it r Ti.. 1 1 rrT-
ncr has no Information a3 to how the
federal money will be divided or on
what basis and hopes that Watkins
can bring back some definite figures.
The outline of projects prepared
by Secretary O'Connell of the game
commission said that innumerable
pine trees along tne upper wioDrara
and in the Pine Ridge country could
be transplanted with benefit to the
country and to the workmen who did
the job. The thousands of saplings
growing in sandbars along the Platte
river, he added, might be set out on
farm lands where they are needed.
O'Connell mentioned also the work
that might be carried on in federal
forest reserves, state parks and in the
matter of controlling soil erosion,
building storage reservoirs and dik
ing state lakes.
MAY BAN PBESS ALLIANCE
Berlin. The Foreign Press asso
ciation, representing about 135 cor
respondents from more than 20 na
tions, may be dissolved by the Ger
man government because the cabinet
considers a book written by its pres
ident to be offensive. The conflict
centers about "Germany Puts the
Clock Back," written by Edgar Mow
rer of the Chicago Daily News. It
appeared a month before the appoint
ment of the Hitler government.
The cabinet has decided to boy
cott the association as long as Mow
rer retains the presidency. He offered
to resign but by an overwhelming
vote the association declined to per
mit him. The Chicago correspondent
explained hl3 position thus: "My
standpoint is: Responsible foreign
newspaper correspondents must by no
social or ether personal pressure of
whatever nature be hindered In the
freedom of their criticism in so far
as they report to their country n
the basis of unchallengeable ma
terial." At a general meeting Mowrer
asserted that the" great majority of
his American colleagues agreed the
book in nowise transcended the lira
its a political writer should observe.
Thi3 position, he said, was shared by
Frederic JI. Sackett, the retiring Am
erican ambassador.
