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.

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 enable 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 [[covered up by following clipping]] SPOT Reg. U. S. Pat.
