FEARED JUST SUCH A DISASTER.
Washington, Sept. 3. (AP) -- It was the fear of just such a storm as overcame the Shenandoah which led the navy department to refuse to send the dirigible into mid-continent during July or August. For that reason the trip was deferred until this month, when it was thought danger of heavy wind and electrical storms had passed.
Along with the Shenandoah the navy has lost a precious supply of helium.
The Los Angeles has been tied up while the Shenandoah engaged in maneuvers with units of the fleet off the Atlantic coast and the western flight because insufficient helium was available to inflate both ships simultaneously. The loss of helium in today's disaster is expected to mean that the Los Angeles will continue idle for some time.
Recently proposals have been put forward tentatively looking to the leasing of the Los Angeles by private business concerns in this country for commercial operation and President COOLIDGE has indicated sympathy with that idea. Whether the wreck of the Shenandoah will have any effect on the Los Angeles remains to be determined.

SURVIVORS IN FARM HOUSE.
Cumberland, Ohio, Sept. 3. -- (AP) -- Reports here were that the Shenandoah crashed six miles east of here. Two are killed and seven injured. The survivors are lodged in a farm house.
A severe wind and electric storm raged in this vicinity last night.
