Yeomans’ Ruling Gives Schools And

ATLANTA—(®)—Common schools
and Confederate pensioners will
come in for a greater share of
a $540,000 fund now available be
cause of a clause in the recent
general appropriations bill, Attor
ney General M. J. Yeomans has
ruled.
The legi.slature, in passing the
appropriations bill recently, re
pealed all unpaid appropriations
for years prior to 1932, except
those to common schools and pen
sioners, and appropriations against
which there were debts outstand
ing Dec. 31, 1932.
The board of control had been
counting on a sizeable share of
the $540,000 fund, which was paid
into the Treasury April 1 by the
Highway department for rental
certificates of the state-owned
"Wes‘tern and Atlantic railroad.

unintentional, but that an “injus

Akron Disaster Seriously Endangers
America’s Bid for World Supremacy
In Sphere of Commercial Aviation
WASHINGTON —(@®)— Tbhe fate)
of ' the boldest American bid for;
comme! cial supremacy in the air|
Rung in the balance Wednesday usi
the nation took stock of the disus-%
tet that; befell the sky queen|
Akron. |
¥or, just 18 months the giun(!
craft was supreme as the largest,!
finest and most complete ship of
its ’(ind ever built, She represent
ed the last word both in German
Zeppelin building skill and adap
tion of Yankee inventive genius to
the science of aviation.
~ Even as she fell to her tragic
\end. however, her dister ship, the
‘Macon,. marking dirigible construc- |
}-flqn refinements born of the|
building and operating exper.ences!
twnh the Akron, awaited in her;
hangar the word that would launch
her upon an initial tridl voyage.
While these two ships were|
built and carried on a Navy basis,
as combat craft, a major purpose
!behind construction was explora
tion of the trans-oceanic com
“mercial possibilities of t h e s e
mighty liners of the air. ‘
’ Such pioneering work underlay
the purely Naval purposes for'
'which they were authorized. The
‘Akron and the Macon were free
‘fi'om the international agreemem‘
that made the German Zeppelin|
built Los Angeles only a commer
cial vessel. Thus they have af
forded opportunity also for navy
tests -of the military usefulness of
lsuch ships as long range scnuting;
craft and bombers. |
The Akron had been consideredl
by experts the most airworthy and‘
safest airship in the world
Charges ranging from sabotage ta
faulty construction had been in
vestigated by a congressional com
mitlee and declared groundless,
The loss of the Shenandoah in
1925 had prompted the Navy to
increase markedly the strength re
quirements for airship design, and
soon the Akron was in the air
again. b R
A vital factor was that the
United States, alone of all the na
Plans Go Forward For Initial Flight
Of Dirigible Macon Next Week; Expert
Criticizes Oppcnents of Big Airships
/AKRON, Ohio—(/P)—Members of
the 'U. 8. S. .Macon crew Wed
nesday were going aliead with
preparations for the first flight
early next week.
“We have recetved no orders
changing these plans,” Camuin’Al
ger H. Dresel, skipper of the -ship,
said. Asked to comment on Lieu
tenant Commander H. V. Wiley's
description of the U. 8. 8. Akron
¢dradh, Captain Dpresel termed it
“perfectly logical”.
He said the giving way of the
rudder control wires was a ‘“very
major failure.” He was reluctant
to comment further on the basis
of the incomplete story. -
The big peint in the story in the
opinion of Lieutenant Commander
T. G. W. Settle, chief of the naval
inspeetion bureau at the Good
year-Zeppelin eorpovation, who
cupervised construction of the
ship, was that there was no struc
tural failure until the ship uit the
water.
“The conclusion from this acci
dent that airships are not safe and
should not be constructed in the
future is absur¢," Settle said. *“lt
is like deciding not to construct
ships because the Titanic sank.”

Ex-Wife Shot Him,
Tom Mix Testifies
~ In Suit t
n Suit on Notes
- LOS ANGELES —(AP)— Tom
| Mix, actar, charges that Mrs. Vic
‘toria Forde De Olzabal, his former
‘wife, wounded him in the arm
during maygital difficulties which
preceded her post-marital suit
against him to collect $50,000 on
five notes.
At the time. of the shooting,
which he said occurred in March,
1924, Mix indicated he accidentally
wounded himseif.
“I had been dowrn on Main street
julnping out of a window onto a
girder for a. film that was coming
out,” he testified late Tuesday un
der cross examination. “I had a
picture of it and brought it home.
“One of those gigolos, some
friend of the family, picked up
this picture and said, ‘lf 1 were
vou Mrs. Mix, 1 would have my
husband’s head examined.’ I didn’t
like the remark, so [ threw him
out.”
This angered Mrs. Mix, he said,
and she shot at nim five times,
one bullet striking him in one
arm - and passing through his
shoulder.
The notes were given by Mix in
a property deal with his former
wife, now married to the iArgentine

The Akron completed her trial

only minor damage. . |
Mounting determination to end;

Wednesday through a congress in
fent upon finding the real causes\
o fthe Akro's plunge into the At-.
lantic. |
In the senate, King (D.-Utah)!
prepared a resolution calling for |
an investigation of the Akron dis- '
aster, : i
| Manygmembers were undecided
‘how fay they wanted to goin their
‘ban on airships. In the housal
Chairman Vinson said he thought
nothirg should be done to prevem!
operation of the Macon, which is{
to take the air toward the endi
|of the month.. Nor did he think
that the new dirigible base at
‘Sunnyvalc; California, w h e r el
around $4.000,000 has heen ex
'pended. should be shut down.
| There were some Indications
that the T.os Angeles, now out of
’commlssion. might be placed back
|in service after a time, instead of
being sold, and stationed at Sun
nyvale with the Macon taking the
Akron’s place at lLakehurst. But |
with Vinson's determination tol
ihalt the construction of any new
lalrshlph‘. eventually abandonment |
of both Lakehurst and Sunnyvale
would follow when the two ro
maining ships went out of service,
for age or other reasons.
Vinson agreed with Secretary
Swanson that the money expended
in recent years gn airships might
well go to other paval forces.
“We don’t want to put our eggs
all in one bhasket, and we don't
want any of the baskets to be air
ships,” svhe told nowspapermen,
“We should maintain a well
rounded fleet with its airplanes

i “It seems to me we need surface
{ships more than anything else.”
| Vinson agreed with that after a
!!alk with the President Tuesday in
which he presented a program for
the construction in three years of
30 new ships costing $230,000,000.
That construction program, Vinson
'said, “is to be included in the pub
ilic works bill” now being drafted
,for the President. |
| The new plan, Vinson asserted,
f“will still leave us way under
Japan, Great Britain, France and
Italy in actual combatant ships,
except battleships and far under
treaty limits.”
| Vinson's contention was that ex
ipenditure of $230,000,000 on new
'~ships would mean $195,500,000 for
lemployment gince “85 cents ocut n!}
each dollar spent on a vessel goes
]tn labor.” l
' Besides giving at least purt-timrl
lemployment to 150,000 to 260,000
men, Vinson said, ‘“this construc
’}Hon won't interfere with oup nf~’
‘for!s to balange the budget sincel
'it, like all the public works to hel
‘proposed, will be financed by 4

of $1,456,784 in 1932.
. “So’ far as returns based on
earnings in the calendar year 1932
‘are concerned, the returns filed to

25 per cent as compared to calen
dar year returns for earnings in
1931, which were filed last year”
Mr. Mann said.
He explained that a number of
large incomes tax returns are filed
on the basis of fiscal years of va
rious corporations, and come in
later in the year. Ordinarily, the
