Dirigible plan approved signals new aviation age
Washington reports the President approved a 300 to 400 foot rigid dirigible for training. If built, it signals a revival of lighter-than-air craft in defense, with Navy expanding to 48 semi rigid ships and 60 to 80 captive balloons for guarding the Panama Canal. The move follows earlier congressional authorization and aims at patrol and convoy duties with fighter pouches.

Sasha Siemel Kings the Tiger Man in Brazil Hunt
In New York a bearded Sasha Siemel, famed as the Tiger Man, describes his jungle hunts in Brazil. He recalls killing nearly 200 tigers in 20 years using a spear, explains why the spear is safer than a gun, and notes his life on a Brazilian ranch with his wife and child. He predicts more hunters will seek South American game as Asia and Africa close to hunting.
