Col. Valdavia had been negotiating
for the trip for weeks and is said to
have been told by Zeppelin officials
that he could make the trip If the
United States Government consented.
As the airship will not be American
property until delivered at LAX kehurst,
the United States Government is said
to have replied that the Zeppelin OFF,
cials alone could decide the passenger
list, and offered no objection to
Valdavia-
The Zeppelin officials at the last
minute denied him passage. and he Is
reported to have declared that his
career was ruined. as the Spanish
government expected him to sail on
the dirigible and make observations.

arranging to cooperate with the
Zeppelin Company in establishing a
Zeppelin factory in Spain.
The position of the United States
was that the Zeppelin Company might
carry whom it pleased if the four
American officers were not displaced.

$50.000 worth Of spare parts.
In addition to carrying 80 passen-
gers the ZR-3 has q lifting capacity
that will permit her to be loaded
with Is tons Of freight or baggage.
Estimates Of the cruising radius of
the ship made by Zeppelin officers
place the distance at a maximum
Of $500 nautical miles or a safe
radius of 1900 nautical miles without
refuelinE. It is pointed out that
practically any inhabited part Of the
earth can be reached from New York
In less than that distance.
VIII Use Helium Later.
For the trip from Germany the
ZR-3 is inflated with hydrogen gas.
but under the present policy Of the
Washington Government, helium, the
non-explosive gas developed in the
United States during the war, will be
substituted for hydrogen before oper-
ations In the United States are
undertaken.
The Zeppelin experts estimate that
under any normal condition the
ZR-3 would be able to fly from San
Francisco to Honolulu and back again
between Saturday morning and the
following Tuesday morning, spending
the entire day Sunday in Honolulu.
Such a trip now requires more than
10 days by steamship, yet the airship
could carry so passengers and Is tons
of freight or baggage and make the
journey as a week end jaunt.

DOLL ZR-3 "STOWAWAY.'

By the Associated Press.
FRIEDRICHSHAFE October 13.
-Three-year-old Betty Lou Kennedy
OF Aurora, ILL.,, en- route to Lakehurst,
N. J., with her mother, will have the
surprise Of her young life when her
father, Maj. F. NJ Kennedy, steps
from the ZR-3 and presents her with
a doll nearly as large as Betty Lou
herself.
The doll has yellow cur1s and rosy
cheeks, matching those Of Betty Lou !;
says "Mama" as plain as anybody
and not only that, but it walks. The
doll is not a stowaway and is looked
upon by the American officers aboard
the dirigible as their mascot.
When DIR. Eckener, the Zeppelin di-
rector. inspected the ZR-3 for the last
time, cutting down every ounce of
weight where he could, he spied Maj

Another interesting phase of the cam
paign is the dropping of of regis
tration among the women in the
cities as contrasted with the increase
in interest taken in politics by the
women in the smaller towns and rural
districts.
Missouri is what may always be
called doubtful frontier of the solid
South, but it takes some potent griev-
ance to tear away the Democratic
majority. This time, with a party
united behind Davis. there Is every
reason to expect Democratic victory.

NAVY GIVING AID

(Continucd from First Paes.)

this Information will be transmitted
to the second ship in the train, which
will combine it with observations
taken by her own officers. This data
also will be checked against informa-
tion forwarded from the Weather Bu-
reau at Washington and any submit
ted by ships at sea, and the combined
information will be then relayed to
coastal stations for transmittal to the
Navy Department, which, in turn, will
send it to the ZR-3 through Annapolis.
Besides Capt. Steele, two other
American Navy officers and Maj. Ken
nedy of the Army Air Service are
abroad the Zeppelin.
The first stage of the ZR-3 was
across France and Capt. Steele re-
ported an average speed Of more than
so miles an hour with all engines
running. Only four engines were in
operation when the ship pushed off
for the Azores, however, as it was
desired to conserve the fuel supply.
The ZR-3 was built for the United
States at the Zeppelin plant, under
an agreement which makes her avail
able for military purposes. She is
equipped for commercial use and will
be employed on pioneer work for
commercial air routes, being handled
by Army and Navy air personnel, in
order to train men of the two services
in handling airships Of this type.

BUDGET COMPROMISE
PROPOSED BY NAVY

A proposal that the Budget Bureau
and the Navy Department compromise
upon $3.50. O0O. 900 as the appropriation
for the Navy during the next fiscal
year was presented today to Director
Lord by Secretary Wilbur. The origi-
nal estimate for the department totaled
$3.50. 900, which was reduced about
$50, 900, 900 by the officials holding the
Federal pursestring.
Secretary Wilbur sought an addi-
tional s4,000,000 for naval aviation,
which would bring that allotment to
approximately the $19.000.0O0 recon-
mended by the general board.

MISSOURI IS HELD
SAFE FOR DAVIS
State, Naturally Democratic,
Likely to Go Back to
Former Status.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

ST. LOUIS, October 13.-Missouri
has gotten back to 'normalcy" so far
as the Democratic party is concerned
while the Republicans are likely this
year to find their vote abnormally
disturbed with the consequence that
John w. Davis Is certain to carry the
State.
Pluralities are difficult always to
conjecture but to place the figure at
10000 to 10000 is to make Il conSer-
vative calculation for there are pos
Sibilities for a 10000 plurality for
Davis.
The outstanding characteristic Of
the situation is the detection of the
German Republicans to La Toilette.
Not all of the Germans, of course.
will go for the third party candidate,
but more than enough to make the
Democratic victory assured. st.
Louis, which has many Germans and
many Republicans, shows a decline
in registration which can only mean
loss to the Republicans.
Davis Is Popular.
Here and there throughout the
State are Republicans of prominence
who announce themselves for Davis.
This is not encountered in other
states, and illustrates the popularity
of the Democratic nominee. The
press campaign on behalf of Davis
also has been very vigorous in many
parts of the State reached by the St.
Louis Post Dispatch, which, in Il
feature article of ten thousand words
by its Washington correspondent
Charles G. Ross, has just delivered
an attack on Coolidge as "a myth"
The idea is developed by Mr.. Ross,
just as by Frank Kent of the Ralti-
more Sun. that President Coolidge
has been "protected' by friendly
newspapermen from the penetrating
criticism that might otherwise be
hurled at him if this weren't a cam
paign year.
The Importance of the foregoing is
simply that in Missouri. unlike in
other States in which the writer has
visited, there is an active campaign
by the Democrats with plenty of vi
tality to it. The barbecue at Bunce-
ton, Mo. attended by John w. Davis
and 10000 people, is still the talk of
nominee gets here next week he will
have a torchlight procession reminis-
cent of the good old "90s.'
For the tide is running Davis in
Missouri. 1t isn't that Coolidge is un-
popular, but in this State particular
ly an impression that he is ineffective
in dealing with Congress has been
carefully cultivated.
Khan Stnnd Helps Davis.
1t is natural to find Missouri strong
ly Democratic. This is a State for
which the mention Of the name Bryan
has no terrors, for it voted that way
n generation ago. In 1920 the Irish
and other groups strayed from the
Democratic party, but they are for
the most part coming back. John w.
Davis denunciation of the klan won
him not only former Democrats, but
many Republicans.
AS for the negroes, thousands of
them will march in the Davis parade
an unheard-of thing in Democratic
politics, but it's all because President
Coolidge hasn't denounced the klan
directly.
Men who have travelled the length
and breadth of Missouri studying
political conditions are impressed by
the number of railroad employees who
will vote for La Toilette.
There are Democratic counties
which will suffer some losses on this
account hut the acquisitions due to
