WASHINGTON, APRIL 9. FURTHER LIGHT ON THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER TO THE GIANT NAVY DIRIGIBLE, AKRON, MAY BE THROWN AS THE RESULT OF THE DISCOVERY TO-DAY OF THE DEAD BODY OF THE COMMANDER OF THE AIRSHIP, COM- MANDER F, C. McCORD.

The body was picked up by a coastguard destroyer which has been scouring the vicinity of the wreck, seek- ing evidence among the wreckage. A notebook was found in the pocket of Commander McCord's tunic, con- taining the data of the airship's behaviour on her last trip.

Despite the assertion of the second-in-command, Lieut. Commander Wiley that the Akron was not struck. by lightning, opinion is growing in official circles that although those aboard may not have own that she had been struck, such an event is the most likely ex- planation of the disaster. It is felt that the problem of longitudinal stability has yet to be solved that an air- ship has yet to be built which is strong enough to meet (Telegraph. Capright.
