VALUE OF DIRIGIBLES
: DOUBTED IN FRANCE
Skeptical Of Success of German
Craft America on Flight to
United States.
SEE DEATH FOR CREW
Americas Aviation Policy Is De.
clared Wrong.

By Radio TO The Star and Philadelphia Public
Ledger, Copyright. 1924.
PARIS, April 5.-Although the
French aeronauticat authorities have
granted special authority for the
German dirigible America to fly over
France on her trip to the United
States, they are frankly skeptical
about tho success OF tho trip and
about the practiicability of zeppeIins
in general.
Perhaps with the memory of the
ill-fated Dixmude still fresh in their
minds, technical men on the staff of
the air ministry today said they
thought the enterprise highly i'm
prudent. Speaking Of tho America
and the possibility Of the Zeppelin
taking it's part in aviation in THE fu-
ture, Laurent Aynac, underSecretary
for air, said:
Not Impressed by Craft.
French experts who have studied
developments of German Superair-
craft are convinced the America is
not particularly fitted for that kind
or voyage, overland and overseas $,
to the United States
Some observers have stated they
dIG the america y crew Will
meet the same fate aS did that of the
DiXmude. In the event of an accident
to the frame or engines or the break
ing of the wireless, AS happened on
the DiXmude, Il big airship is unable
to stand alone in the air more than
six hours. and would Inevitably be
sunk, as ZeppelinS are more unwieldy
and less manageable than a balloon.
AS contrasted TO the French air
program, il appears that the United
States although possessing the most
skilled pilots, is nevertheless follow
ing a wrong course in the develop
ment of aviation. The French policy
assumes that il is unwiSe to specialize
on speed and the accomplishment of
spectacular featS while work can be
done in increasing the safety of pas
sengers and studying the practical
possibilities OF flying as regard 5
carrying goods passengers and mail.
1t is believed here the projected polar
flights could be turned to much more
practical experimentation, which must
revolutionize the science Of airshipS
if they are going TO continue.
Praises L. =. Airmen.
"At any rate, the United States has
n remarkable corps of pilots, with
admirable audaeity and determina-
ton, all of whom seem thoroughly
trained.
The most interesting development
however, in the recent history of air
craft is the great increase in the
aerial forces OF Russia and japan.
The heads OF the aerial departments
of both countries are working to-
eether in close union. The earth
quake in Japan didn't affect Japanese
air strength, as they lost no equip
ment, and if their program continues
as planned for a period Of ten years
it will be completed by 1880"
