Navy eyes all metal dirigible for war and commerce
Congressmen Vanderberg and Kahn push authorization to build a 100-ton all metal airship with a 70 mph top speed, proposed as a transport and recon craft. The craft would outsize the ZMC-2, cost about 4.5 million, and could be used for military supply, staff movement, bombing, and private demonstrations. A companion build could duplicate it in 2.5 years for roughly 3.5 million.

Border Patrol Unification Plan Scrapped by House Panel
Washington reports that a Hoover proposal to unify all U S border patrol units under the Coast Guard was rejected by the House interstate and foreign commerce committee. A revised plan would merge roughly 800 labor department immigration patrolmen and 750 treasury customs officers into a nonuniform civil service United States Border Patrol under the treasury secretary. The shift would avoid militarizing the force and reduce border infrastructure costs.
