PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1930 NEW AIRSHIPS OF U.S. NAVY WILL BE GIANTS OF SKIES: Ready For Flight; and Akron, mourns the loss of the R-101, the world's 1a airship, and strives to find out. just why the great ship + was destroyed, Goodyear- Zeppelin mechanics here are stead- fly bringing to completion a giant of the skies that will be larger, safer and faster than any airship yet built. This is the ZRS-4, sched- uled to be delivered to the U.S. Nayy in May, when fit will be christened the Akron. It will be a monster of 6,600, 000 cubic feet--far larger than the ill-fated R-101, or the R-100, Britain's other super-airship, Un- like those ships, built for commer- cial uses, it is to be strictly & fighting craft, and it will be the most powerful fighter that ever took the air. Outstanding Features Its huge skeleton is rapidly taking form. here, rising high over- head like the framework of some prehistoric. mammoth, When it is completed it will have these un- usual features: 1, The Akron will be nearly three times the size of the Los An- geles, the mavy"s present airship, twice the size of the Graf Zeppelin and, although not much longer, far greater in power, speed and range than Great Britain's R-100 and, R-101, 2.

Oarrying 60 tons of fuel, the Akron will be able to eruise, without landing or refueling, at speed of nearly 60 miles an hour, as far as 9,200 nautical miles, or about 11,000 land miles --nearly half the distance around the earth, double the range of the most modern surface scouting cruiser, Will. Use Helium 6. It will be the safest airship afloat, sinee it will bave helium, the non-inflammable gas, as its lithting force; will be more sturd- fly built; will be divided into 12 compartments containing individ- ual gas cells ranging in size from 80,000 to nearly million cube feet; will be accessible by means of corridors along both sides and along the top; and will be almost invulnerable to anti-aircraft or other gun fire. 7. Its radio equipment will in- clude two powerful transmitters, covering the intermediate and high frequency ranges, receivers ranges, two trailing antennas and a fixed antenna, a radio compass and s radio facsi- mile transmitter and received for the 'transmissi of ketches, maps and similar information, The transmitter will have a range of at least 6,000 nautical miles, or one-third the distance around the earth, 8. A special dock for the con- struction of the Akron and its sister ship, the ZRB-5, cost $2, 500,000, is the largest building without interior supports in the world, 'and is big enough to en- able the building of a million cubic foot ship alongside the Akron, in addition to housing sev eral balloons, blimps and airplanes in the remaining space, Although the Akron is not being built for commercial uses, if modi. fied for such service. it could ac- commodate 100 passengers and » crew of 50, with all the luxuries and necessities required for them.

For Fleet The chief purpose of the Akron, : according to Lieutenant Settle, will be to act as a scout cruiser for the ! fleet. Tt will be the advance eyes of the battle fleet, soaring high and far in advance, releasing its airplanes for scouting "farther in advance, and relaying whatever information it gots back to the commander-in-chief of the fleet by radio and fascimile transmisston.

In the case of Rosika Schwimmer the court last year decided such an oath was necessary, but since then a Circuit Court of Rheals has decid- ed Douglas Clyde Macintosh, Yale Theolohy rofessor and Marie Av. erifl Bland, Canadian war nubse, were entitled to citizenship in spite of reservations regarding bearing arms. The Supreme Court is to decide shortly whether it will take up the Government's appeals and review these cases, Should it decide not review, the decisions of the Court of Appeals will stand, presenting to the eye of the layman a decided con- trast to the final ruling in the Sch- wimmer case. Mrs. Schwimmer, native of Hun- gary, lecturer, writer and linguist, ap- plied for citizenship in Illinois in 1926, Everything went well until she was asked if. she would personally bear arms in defence of the United States. She replied she would not because she was an uncompromising ship and appealed to the Supreme Court, The court ruled against her, the majority holding it was the citizen's duty to bear arms if necessary and that anything tending to lessen will ingness to fight in time of need weakened the safety of the Govern ment, In the meantime, Macintosh and Miss Bland, both Canadians, asked for citizenship. Dr. Macintosh said he was willing to bear arms in de- fense of the country, but wanted to be the judge of the necessity, Miss Bland like Miss Schwimmer, said she would not bear arms personally, be- lieving it contrary to the "ethics of Christ." a United States district court, but the second circuit court of appeals, despite the Schwimmer cdse decision reversed the lower court. In the case of Dr. Macintosh it said there was a distinction between a morally justified and an unjustified war and that recognition had been given this distinction in the Briand- Kellogg peace pact, CANADIANS RAISE ISSUE IN STATES Granted Citizenship Al though Not Agreeing to Fight for Country London=The season of public din- ners is at 'hand.

Dr. Frederick A. Besley of Chica- go, chairman of the College's Board of Traumatic Surgery, broached the subject between sessions of the con- ress. Dr, Besley said that sltogether too many of the two million persons injured annually in this country in automobile and industrial accidents ran the risk of being permanently maimed or crippled because of the doctors to whom they were taken from the scene of accident, The only way to prevent these ac- cident victims from becoming vie- tims of medical incompetence is to build special accident hospitals and insist that in all possible cases the injured 'persons should be brought there for treatment, he declared. Most seriously injured persons can be safely transported long dis- tances in modern ambulances over present dey roads after they have been given first aid treatment, he said. Dr. Besley also criticized some great industrial and insurance com- panies for the way they handle ac- cident cases, saying that the heads of their medical departments were usually merely good friends of some company. official without any real ability to handle the medical pro- bi involved, menus---none more sump than those wor the Lord Mayor's ban- quet--are, as it were, on the stocks, and they will soon be launched, squadron after squadron, in worthy 'or purely pleasurable causes rvers are looking to their wea~ pons, waiters are practising the bal- ancing of plates, corks are prepar- ing to' pop, and City men--they who will eat these dinners--are going un- obtrusively into training.

Naturally, the claims de- partment heads are concerned chiefly in economy. So they assign a surgeon who charges only $1 or $2 for each dressing of an injury and the patients as a result, fre- quently suffer complications which result in permanent disabilities which cost the insurance company dearly." In the afternoon sessions, Dr. Paul Keller, a director of Beth- Is- rael Hospital, Newark, decired that the boards of trustees administer- ing most hospitals wefe not trained in hospital administration and were in no way qualified to give direc- tion in hospital conduct; He said this was responsible for the low standing of many hospital staffs.
