(AP) The giant dirig ible Shenandoah is no more. It went down in three pieces here early today and killed its commander, Lieut. Commander Zachary Lansdowne, and at least twelve of the officers and men, making up her crew. The airship struck a line squall a variety of storm most feared by airmen shortly after five o'clock near this Noble county village, while traveling at an altitude of 3000 feet enroute from Lake Hurst, N. J., to the west Most of the dead were found in the tangled wreckage of the control cabin where a full crew was on duty at tempting to ride out the buffeting winds which resulted in the complete destruction of the giant of the air. Ambulances and other conveyances which carried physicians and others to the scene immediately followed the accident were transporting the dead and injured to nearby towns. Those who met death in the unsuc cessful flight against the elements, were taken to Belle Valley, while the injured were scattered in the various hospitals of the community The storo- ti- the -dlstasler la one of heroism of tho crow, pioneers in tho Interest of the development of lighter than air transp Jrtation. It Is best told by Colonel C. G. Hall, United States urnuy observer aboard the illfuted tfttp. DescVibed Tragedy "We were traveling west at an al titude ot about 4000 feet when me encountered a storm,'' Colonel Hall said In describing the accident. "By chnuging our course a dozen or more times, we dodged it only ta encounter a line squall whlcu sent uj to an altitude of 5500 feet be fore we realised what had happened. "Wo opened the valves to let out gus and lowered the ship and were drawing away from the storm at a fifty mile per hour rntc nthen the storm enveloped us and broko tuo ship Into three pieces. 1 exclaimed to Commander Lansdowne: 'Every ono beat it.' When the craa'a came 1 was on tho ladder leading from the control cabin to the rear por tion of the ship. As 1 started to fall, I clutched a girder of which 1 hung suspended; finally swinging my body over it and crawling forty or fifty feet back into tho ship." Attempt Descent Wthen he reached tile ship proper. Colonel Hall aald that he found othor members :jf the crow prepar ing to open tho valves in order to bring about a descent. Here ho found Lieutenant Roland 0. Manor, leading officer, and Lleutonnnt J. U. Anderson, aerologlat. Tho latter, Colonel Hall said, had made his way to tho rear on tho cat walk. All three descended safely. Colonel Hull said that tho catns-, t-ropha was In na may attributed to any dofect In the d'.ilp. Meteoroligl ost stations in-the Vicinity, however, the ndvlces were 'not available. At the tlmo of the crash, Hull Bald, four of the six engines which pro pelled the ulr monster were going full speed. Tho craft simply met air currents which Bho could not sur vive Crew is Praised Colonel Hall voiced bWh pntlso for the crew of the dirigible. Even Immediately after the crush, he said, tho crew's bohuvior wiu leiuuik ablo. Each man took tho situation quietly, deporting himself as If he wcro on a free balloon nnd attempt ing to bring tho craft to the ground In Who best manner possible.

"Doc" Powell Is Candidate As Councilman Strong Support of God dard Policies Promised After weeks of solicitation by those who feel that he will best represent the Interests of the second ward, Z. J. (Doc) Powell today consented lo be a candidate for councilman at the forthcoming election. It was chiefly due to a desire to secure Powell's candidacy that the peti tion was circulated asking the coun cil to call the special election. When the decision was reached at the council meeting last Monday night to grant the request of the peti tioners, the friends of Powell re dubled their efforts, with the re sult that he today definitely an nounced he would enter the race. Powell's well-known loyalty to the Goddard administration and the real need for someone on the coun cil who will be in sympathy with the mayor's- policies, together with his unalterable opposition to further concessions to strahorn and the closing of public streets and alleys for the benefit of private interests, were the controlling factors among thoso who have been urging him to stand as a candidate. When asked to give an outline of his views on matters now interesting the people of his ward and the city generally, Mr. Powell said: "First of all I have in mind the r.iviiig of such assistance 'o the ad ministration of Mayor Goddard as to make it the success the thinking people of the city want it to be. HeJ nas never missea an opportunity to do what he believed would be for the best interests of all the people, and 1 for one want to see put into effect the broad plan of civic bet terment that he has outlined. I be lieve he was right in his stand when he opposed to closing of the city to the Oregon Trunk and in his stand on the question of the com mon user, and I will, if elected, do everything I can to aid him along these lines. I am unalterably op posed to the closing of streets and alleys for the benefit of private in terests. If these people want this property which is the property of ail the city, let them pay for it just the same as they would have to pay for it It acquired from private in dividuals. Even then I would not be in favor of closing these streets and alleys if such a step would be an injury to the property owners in the area affected. "I believe that Klamath Falls is in need of what Mayor Goddard is trying to accomplish and it is chiefly because 1 want to see him put over his program of civic betterment that 1 decided to be a candidate. He Is no man's mayor and I don't pro pose to be any man's councilman. When the time comes that this city must be turned over for the bene fit of the few. I want to be on the job to do what little I can to stop it and it looks to me that that time is right at hand and that is one of the reasons why 1 consented to be a candidate for councilman from the second ward."
