 GERMANS OYER ATLANTIC
Also Report Irishman Will Replace Spindler on Bremen" Which
 Is Still Storm hound,

Dublin. April R)-The possibil-
 ity of Franco-German air race to
 America caused stir at Baldonrel airdrome today.
 Maurice Drouhin, French pilot.
 was reported to be negotiating to use
 the field as a starting point for a
 transatlantic flight.
 The German plane Bremen con-
 tlnued weather bound and there were
 reports that Conmandant James
 Fitzmaurice. head of the Irish Free
 State air force. might replace Arthur
 Spindler. German mechanic and CO.,
 pilot of the plane.
 Reports were that Drouhin. who was engaged by Charles A. Levine
 last year for a transatlantic hop, which never materialized. intended to start for Ireland tomorrow. Authorities at Baldonnel declined to comment. but the rumor gained credence because they have main- tained an attitude of secrecy since before the arriva! of the Bremen, the appearance of which above the
 city being the first knowledge Ireland had of that project.
 Commandant Fitzmaurice was a companion of Captain R. H. MacIn- tosh on his unsuccessful attempt to fly the Atlantic last summer, which ended when they were driven back
