FIRST
T0SEND GREETING
Congratulates Crew of Diri-
gibIe for Success of
"EpochaI Voyage"

President Coolidge was the first of
official Washington today to con-
gratulate the commander of the ZR-3
on the successful completion of his
record-breaking flight from Fried
richshafen to LAX ehurst.
Word of the landing of the craft
was given to the President few
minutes after she had come to the
ground at the Lakehurst airdrome
and the President Immediately dis
patched a message to DR.. Hugo Eek
ener, who was charged with her de-
livery to the1inited States.
In other government quarters, es-
pecially at the Navy, where constant
vigil had been held since the ship
rose from her German starting point,
great enthusiasm and relief was evil
dent at her safe arrival.
President Coolidge termed the per-
formance of the ZR-3 an epochal
achievement.
Text of Message.
1T congratulate you" he tele-
graphed to DR.. Eckener, upon the
successful completion of the trans
atlantic voyage of the great dirigi-
BILE which you have brought from
Germany to the United States.
1T is not merely a stirring expert
ence, a splendid adventure. Far more,
1t is an epochai achievement, because
II demonstrates as never before
the feasibility of long distance
flights by lighter-than-air craft and
their ability to carry significant ton
nages in passengers or cargo.
The skill and efficiency of the Ger
man technicians in building such a
wonderful aircraft and your skill In
successfully navigating it without
stop and without mishap from Fried
richshafen, Germany, to Lakehurst,
N. T.. is an event of world wide in
terest.
TT is a matter of great satiSfac-
ton to me and to the people of the
United States that the peaceful re-
lations between Germany and Amer
lea have been fully re-established, and
this great airship has inaugurated the
first direct flight between Germany
and America. I hope that your stay
in the United States will be enjoyable
and that the notable services you
have rendered in bringing over this
airship will be a matter of satisfac-
tion and pride to you throughout
your life"
Crew Organizing Begun.
Organization of an American crew
to take charge of the ZR-3 was be-
gun today in the Bureau of Naval
Aeronautics, but beyond that no
plans have been made for immediate
operation of the ship. Under ine
German contract IL members of the
crew which brought her over will
stand by at least three months to
assist in the training. They include
Navigator Hans Flemming. Quarter
master Walter ScherZ, Helmsmen
Ludwig Marx and Karl Sammt, Chief
Machinist Gustav Belser, Machinists
Emil Grosinger, Herman Pfaff and
E. Martin, and Saiimaker Ludwig
knorr.
When an efficient operating force
has been organized the department
will take up a program of tests to
include long cross-country flights
over proposed commercial routes
with freight and passengers. 1t is
considered probable that commercial
firms may be asked to bid for the
privilege of operating the Zeppelin
during this experimental period.
