Baptist Youth [[Fourth Column]] MACON QUIZ GOES DEEPER ---- Cross-Fire of Expert Views Give New Impetus to Disaster Inquiry ---- SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17. (AP) - A cross-fire of expert opinion as to what caused the wrecking of the dirigible Macon resulted today in a deepening of the inquiry being conducted here before a naval court. Testimony that a failure in the sky liner's metal upper fin structure sent her whirling down into the Pacific off Point Sur last Tuesday gave the investigation its new impetus. REPAIR OFFICER Champion of this theory is Lieut. Calvin S. Bolster, construction and repair officer of the Macon, who was aboard. Apparently dissatisfied with this theory, Lieutenant-Commander Herbert V. Wiley, skipper of the Macon, and other naval authorities indicated evidence will be sought this week from other airship construction experts. Wiley indicated by questions to other witnesses that he does not attribute the loss of the Macon to structural weakness, but rather to a casual accident. TO BE RECALLED Judge Advocate Gatch of the court announced both Bolster and Chief Boatswain's Mate Robert J. Davis will be recalled for further examination. Davis previously gave testimony tending to support the Bolster theory. Davis said the after portion of the fin structure gave way. ---- MEMORIAL CONDUCTED IN MACON'S HANGER SUNNYVALE, Feb. 17 (AP) - In the great hangar left empty by the Macon disaster, memorial services were conducted here today for the two men carried to their death when the giant Navy dirigible fell into the Pacific Ocean last Tuesday. The two victims were Ernest Dailey, radio operator, and Florentino Edquiba, Filipino mess boy. ---- Hoover Visits [[cuts off here]] [[Fifth column]] 12 FRIDAY MORNING. MACON LOSS SEEN AS AID ---- Navy to Profit by Experience ---- Judge Advocate Declares Disaster Will Help to Improve Airships ---- SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21. (U.P.) Loss of the dirigible Macon off Point Sur was a "profit and loss" experiment that will enable the Navy to improve lighter-than-air craft construction, Lieutenant-Commander L. T. Gatch told a naval board inquiry today in summarizing testimony of the eighty-one Macon survivors. Commenting on the statements of the survivors, Gatch said: "The loss then was due to a defect in design which resulted from the state of airship design at the time the Macon was built. "It was as well designed as possible, therefore no responsibility can be fixed. PROFIT AND LOSS "In conclusion, the evidence is that the wreck of the Macon simply can be charged to profit and loss and if we build another airship we can build her a lot better." Lieutenant-Commander Gatch. judge advocate of the board, said the defect in design was due to the fact that "the forward part of the upper fin was not sufficiently secured against lateral pressure." "This defect could have been eliminated in three ways," he said. "First, external wire braces to the forward part of the fin; second, reduce the area to the forward part of the fin; or third, more substantial support to the whole structure." WORK IN PROGRESS Workers at the Sunnyvale base of the $2,450,000 craft were engaged in the latter undertaking at the time of the crash, he said. "I think the preponderance of evidence shows there was a gust of wind," Gatch said in commenting on testimony that a sudden swirl of wind and rain struck the ship immediately before a break occurred in the stern structure of the ship. "The initial failure of Frame 17 1/2 was either in the fin above or in the frame itself . . . The board may find the cause was a sudden lateral pressure on the front portion of the upper fin." TRIBUTE TO CREW Gatch paid tribute to the discipline and bravery of the Macon's crew. He commented that the two men lost in the crash were killed "in the line of duty." After the hearing, Commander Herbert V. Wiley, master of the Macon, informally commented that he does not believe the United States should abandon construction of lighter-than-air craft. "It is too important an arm of the Navy to be given up," he said. ---- SUNNYVALE BASE PLANS UNDECIDED WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U.P.) - The Navy has made no decision on the future use of the Sunnyvale (Cal.) dirigible base, officials said tonight. It was indicated the question will not be decided until after the naval board of inquiry has brought in its findings in the Macon disaster. Officials said they have not had time to give the matter any consideration, but it is admitted unofficially that political pressure may be brought to convert the base into a landing field and base for airplanes. SUNNYVALE, Nov. 5. (AP) - The Navy dirigible Macon left the air base here a few minutes before 5 p.m., today for Camp Kearney, San Diego, and a training cruise at sea. The airship will moor at San Diego tomorrow afternoon. The schedule then calls for a sea cruise and contact with the fleet, en route north from Panama.
