acquired these titles and turned the

Plane RIVALRY
URGED KOEHL
FLIGHT

BERLIN, April 12.-Behind the
daring flight of Captain Koehl and
his two companions lies dramatic
story of keen rivalry for future
transatlantic air traffic between the
two foremost aviation organizations
in Germany, it was learned today.
On one side there is the Iuf-
thansa Commercial Flying Company,
which operates an extensive net
work of air-lines all over Germany,
and is subsidized by the German
government.
On the other. there is the junk
ers Aircraft Manufacturing Com
pany, which manufactures most OF
Germany's airplanes.
Captain KOehPs attempt today to
blaze a westward trail across The
Atlantic by air, 1t was authOrita-
lively learned, is backed by the
Junkers and the German shipping
interests, particularly the North
German Lloyd.
Junkers FOOts All Bills
Although officials of both the
! Junkers and North German Lloyd
/ deny that they have anything to- do
/ with the Bremen flight the fact
that leading personalities both
| companies are the real hackers of
KoehI and Won Huenefeld, Is ex-
| pected to come TO light IL the fllEh:
| is a success.
All the bills incurred by Koshl as
. the result of his flight attempt
! have been paid by Junkers. II is
said
! Stories that the former crown
prince was one of KOehPA hackers
| were officially denied today by
| Major Won Mueldnef his adjutant.
| Meanwhile. Lufthansa is now
| completing plans for transatlantic
airmaiI lines. The company expects
10 start test flights with huge
! flying boats this year. Ii these are
| successful. the company expects to
start regular transatlantic airindil
| service next year.
| The North German Lloyd and
| the Hamburg-American lines "on-
slider Satanic traffic their spc-
! cial prerogative 'as far as Germany
! Is concerned. They formerly had
| their own air traffic lines. These
were later merged into the Luf-
tnansa as the Lufthansa was backed
BY government subsidies
Anxious 10 Gain Losses
The shipping lines thus lost their
dominant Influence on air traffic
development. They are now most
anxious to regain it. especially since
| Lindbergh made transatlantic flying
an actually.
Therefore, they have put an iron
in the fire by backing the Bremen
flight.
If the Bremen flight is unsuccess-
full the shipping interests still have
the Lufthansa to fall back upon 1t
is felt here that the shipping in
terests must be considered in all
| transatlantic air traffic plans.
| Last year the North German
| Lloyd gave indirect support to the
Bremen's first attempt. Since then
! there have been negotiations be-
| tween Lufthansa and the shipping
| interests and the two are co-operat-
| ing in many ways.
| Director Merkel. of the Lufthansa.

will undoubtedly have a great in,

three Cass county beekeepers were
issued today by j. A. Kitchen. state
commissioner Of agriculture and

perimental station. joined in the
recommendation for quarantine.

preparation Of Sl.4OO to fight the
disease will be made Monday to the
state emergency commission. Kitch-
en- said. The work Of eradicting the

ing in cooperation with the state
department Of agriculture. the state
bee inspector and the hive owners.
With 10000 hives in the state,
beekeeping is a rapidly growing in
dustry. Kitchen said, and further
