(United News) Further evidence of
Commander Zuchary Lansdowne's
hesitancy to take the Shenandoah on
the' flight which ended In its tragic
loss on September 3, was given at
Thursday's session of the naval
board of Inquiry Into the disaster.
This hesitancy was due to weather
conditions, which Lansdowne felt
confronted the Shenandoah.
Capt. Paul Foley, Judge .advocate,'
was asking Lieut. Commander Chaa.
E. Kosendahl, the dirigible's senior
surviving officer, whether Lans
downe, who was killed in the crash,
had ever expressed reluctance or
objection to making the flight as
ordered.
"No sir, he did not, except to say
that he was sorry that the flight had
not been made during the ten days
favorable lying weather preceding
September," Kosendahl replied.
When the western , flight of the

downe told Col. C. O. Hall, Loko-

Of the 265 votes polled by the
Klamath News yesterday, the first
returns of any size to be consid
ered significant of the attitude of
the people of Klamath Falls re
garding the proposition favored by
many of changing the name of the
city to merely "Klumath" and
leaving the word "Fulls" off, there
remained but a 9 vote majority In
fuvor of leaving the same as It. Is.
A total of 137 votes were cast on
Klamath Newa ballots favoring no
alternation In the city's name, while
128 were convinced that a change
was to the beat interests of the city.
Nearly 100 votes were voluntar
ily mailed Into the News office or
brought ln personally, while nearly
200 were solicited on the streets.
Of those who were canvassed by
the News It developed that a great
majority of the newcomers In the
city were favorable to changing the
name by striking off the "Falls,"
while those older residents claimed
it rnu all right as It stood.
Here were some of the arguments
presented:
"Klamath Falls has spent con
siderable to advertise Itself. .The
railroad squabble has kept this city
on the lips of business men all over
the entire coast. Why change It?"
"There are too many Klamaths
Klamath Agency, Klamath county,

here by the 'Falls.' Let there con
tinue to be attracted.
"It Is not Tight to keep tourists
laboring , under a misapprehension.
Change the name to Klamath. It
Is beautiful."
Many clerks said: , "Klamath' Is
a darned , sight quicker to write
than Klamath Falls."
Ballots will be printed ln the
Klamath News for a period of one
week.' Mall or bring your decision
to this office, for It Is the majority
that will rule In changing or not

TANKS, AIRPLANES
HELD EFFECTIVE
LONDON, Sdpt. 24. (United
News) The Increased value , of
tanks, armored cars and aircraft,
as fighting weapons and the Im
portant effect they are expected to
have on future warfare have been
the outstanding impressions gained
so far from the British army man
euvers in Wiltshire.
The new uses of tanks and aircraft
have become apparent In the final
stages of the maneuvers, which have
developed Into a pitched battle. The
tanks and airplanes have Inflicted
heavy ' losses against the infantry
and cavalry and ln the opinion of
some experts, these weapons may
prevent future stalemates in trench
fighting, such as were experienced
on the western front during the late
war.
Armored cars roaring down, the
roads, tanks crashing through fields
and hedges and airplanes swooping
down to within a few yards from
the earth, have demoralized and
heavily punished the Infantry and
cavalry forces. These attacks were
made in the form of speedy raids.
On other occasions, point-blank bat
tles were fought between opposing
sections of tanks.

I Coolldge 'b special aircraft board has
given some evidence 01 wnm may qj

From this evidence It Is regarded
as extremely doubtful that the board
will take very great cognizance of
the air policy animosities shown to
exist between borne officials of the
flying forces ot the army and nary,
and the, heads and higher officers of
those departments. It is believed
the board will suggest some means
of obtaining more harmony in this
respect. .
Close observers' believe the board
will lay special stress on recommen
dations for formation of a definite
policy of goverament aid to the es
tablishment of every form of com
mercial aviation, recognizing it as a
secondary air defense, always avail
able in time of need.
State Owned Land

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24. (Unit

lands to the states In which they
are located will be Introduced by
Senator William H. King ot Utah
the the next session of congress,
he declared here Thursday.
The senator pointed out he was
convinced each state could more
efficiently handle the lands within
Its dominion than "a lot of bureau
cratic functionaries" several thou
sand miles away at Washington.
By doing this he said the lands
will the sooner come Into private
ownership and be turned into rev

Construction of Odell-Crane
East-West Route Held
Death Blow Here
Further complications were added
to the tangled Issues In the railroad
development programs affecting the
Klamath country, when It became
known yesterday that resolutions
were adopted Tuesday, September
22. by the directors of both Marsh
field and North Bend chambers of
commerce, strongly urging the con
struction ot the proposed cross state
line ot railroad from Odell to Crane.

rather than the Southern Pacific's
proposed trunk- line from here to
the east via Tule lake.
This action supports the plan of
the public service commission ot
Oregon, to compel the construction
of the Crane-Odell line.
There are now three railroad de
velopment plans being actively urged
for south and eastern Oregon, upon
which the interstate commerce com
mission must pass:
First the Oregon Trunk's proposed
extension south from Bend to Klam
ath Falls. -
Second, the Oregon public service
commission plan for the Crane-Odell
line, backed by the recommendation
of the Interstate commerce commts-.

tion with the Nevada California
Oregon railroad, with feeder lines
centering at Klamath Falls and ter
minals here, provided the Southern
Pacific does not have to divide the
Klamath region tonnage with an
other railroad.
So far as Klamath district and
Klamath Falls Is concerned, the pub
lic service commission's plan has had
little consideration up to this time,
although H. H. Corey, chairman ot
the Oregon commission, has been
active here and elsewhere through
out the state, in favor of the Odell
Crane route. Examiner Kephart ot
the Interstate commerce commission
has recommended the Odell-Crane
line to his commission, but no ac
tion has yet been 'taken, due some
what. It Is thought, to the fact that
Union Pacific, which would have to
build the line. If It Is to be built, is
understood to be reluctant to under
take It.
The further active support given
the Odell-Crane line by the Marsh-
field and North Bend communities
last Tuesday, adds strength to the
movement for an eastern cut-off
which would be more than 100 miles
to the north of Klamath Falls.
The Marshfleld and North Bend
chambers of commerce took formal
action ln favor of the Odell-Crane
route east, after a joint meeting
September 17, when Attorney Devers
ot the Oregon public service com
mission spoke ln favor of It, and
Attorney Hampton of the Southern
Pacific opposed it on the ground
that It would upset the Southern Pa
cific's program for a line east from
Klamath Falls.

munities follows:
