Washington, Nov. 19. (A. P.) Tests of Shenandoah wreckage by the bureau of standards show that the condition of the metal framework was not in such condi tion as to lower the resistance of the ship. ' ' This eonclusion was reported to day to the Shenandoah naval court of inquiry. - Tests were made on more than two hundred specimens taken at randon from the wreck age. There was some corrosion of the duraluminum beams and gir ders. It was said, but it was insuf- icient to affect the strength of the metal since the full strength was not utilized in the design of the Shenandoah. Heariiur Is Concluded. The court today concluded its investigation of the charges of Mrs. Margaret Lansdowne and will announce its opinion regarding-i them tomorrow. 1 It heard from Captain Paul Foley, accused by the widow of the Shenandoah a captain of try ing to sway her testimony, a com plete disavowal cf any intention except that of being helpful to her. Then it listened to a statement by Lieutenant Commander C. E. Rosendahl, senior surviving offi cer of the wrecked dirigible, de nouncing as a slander of the dead any insinuation that Commander Lansdowne too the Shenandoah on her fatal western flight when he believed her in jeopary from the weather. A moment before Foley had left the witness stand with the state ment that his whole attitude to ward Mrs. Lansdowne as a pros pective witness had been that of honorable man," who suppose.! at the time that he was dealing with an "honorable woman. Denying that he had sought to influence the testimony Mrs. Lans downe gave before the court last month. Cantam Foley tcsimcu that the statement he sent to her contained nothing that Mrs. 'Lansdowne had not said to me In the presence o! three witnesses. The statement, prepared for her consideration, he added, was in a foim that would make necessary her cross examination before the court and "with a view to leaving Mrs. Lansdowne in a dignified po sition." The widow of the former cap- lain of the Shenandoah declared before the Mitchell court martini last week that part of tho state ment was "falLS" and was an "in sult" to the memory of her hus band. Cnntnin Ft ley said that only a sinule typewritten copy of tne statement was mado "as the mat ter was personal to Mrs. Lans downe" and that for the same rea son the notes Srom which tne statement was typed were destroy ed Immediately afterward. Mrs. Lansdowne testified before the Mitchell court that she de stroyed the copy Bent to her.

Will iams in his cilique of the Hawaiian manucuvcra and he uoied the ad miral as Buying: 'I had so littlo confidence in the judgment of my aviation offi- rs that I did not trouble to usk their advice; so I was operating without their advice." Assistant Judg Advocate Gul- llon said the prosecution did not want to cross examine jjieuienani Sheridan until a search of the war and navy confidential reports could be made. "We. believe," Major Culllon said, "that this witness has made many inaccurate statements." The witness declared not a single airplane from the Langlev landed on Molokat inland and add ed that the Langley's machines were not "fitted for the mission assigned them," and were of "In ferior type." "There were elx crashes out of 14 landings made on the deck of the carrier," he said. New York, Nov. 19. (A.P.)
