Service Inadequate Prior to Patrick's testimony, which closed the session. Acting Secretary of War Davis had admitted that the equipment of the air service was in adequate. This was due partly to the economy program of the admin istration, he said. 4' 'War department officials, how ever, emphatically went on record against a unified air service, advo cated by Mitchell, reading into the testimony beside their own state ments of opinion, a letter from Gen. John J. Pershing, expressing his op position. Pershing's letter was sent frgm South America, where the re tired head of the American armies is now acting as arbitrator in the Tacna-Arica dispute. Davis also re called the testimony -against a uni fied air service given last spring by Secretary, of War Weeks.

It will be from 60 to 90 days before the cruise is completed, but officials of the company are said to have declared the deal is all but completed. S. T. Horan, manager of the For est company at Chiloquin, when ask ed by The News if the deal would be made, refused to comment other than "I cannot sny whether or not the deal will be closed."

Crater Lake visitors next year, and for years to come, will stop at this little point where on June 12. 1853, a man who has been little heard ot tn history was the first human being to look down on that pendant In the chain of Oregon's pearls. The bronze memorial is the gift of William -Gladstone Steele. Eu gene, who has perhaps done more for advancing Crater National park than any one person. The cere monies were conducted by the Klamath Falls Chamber of Com merce. A caravan ot 300 motorists left here Sunday morning tof the ceremonies. Another left Medford. The authentic story of how Crater Lake was discovered by 'Hillman Is a romantic tale of the early Oregon days when seekers ot gold invaded Southwestern Oregon.

(United News) The first day of the navy's Inquiry Into tbe wrecking ot the Shenandoah furnished a sugges tion that the dirigible had ridden free of a storm which enveloped it and the craft's collapse followed rapid ascents and ien a sinking ot the great ship, with the crew power less to stop either. ' Shortly before the crash two ot the Shenandoah's five engines were stopped because of their high temperature. This was embodied In a report made by Lieut. Commander Charles E. Rosendahl. , the Shenandoah's senior surviving officer. He gave no explanation for the violent rise and fall of the ship. Men rode with death In the fate ful half hour before the dirigible crashed, and knew the end that awaited them, Rosendahl said. The great ship rose sharply. Word came from the "elevator man" that he was powerless to check it. The valves were manned to release the gas and lose buoyancy, but tbe rise continued. It stopped for a moment, Rosen dahl said, anj was followed by a sharp descent, and a stillmore vlo sharp descent, and a still more vio the next fall probably meant a fatal crash. Through It all Commander Lans downe continued to reassure the man whose duty It was to control the ship. In quieting tones, according to Lieut. Commander Rosendahl, the leader, who was killed In the crash, kept up the courage of his men. telling them they were doing all that they could do, and that was all he expected of them. Rosendahl's story follows In part: "Capt. Lansdowne was watching the weather, and the storm that the ship had Just avoided. The moon (Continued on Page Two) .
