BERLIN, Oct. 15.-The stormy
ride of the Graf Zeppelin. during
which the ghostly claws of the At
lantic that had pulled down Nun
gesser, Coli and other daring souls
were stretched forth for the 60 lives
on board the dirigible. has left Ger
man faith in airships undiminished
today.
Of more than one storm and sur
vived an accident was taken as con,
elusive proof of it's air worthiness.
German aeronautical experts insist
that the dirigible Is the passenger
air liner Of the future.
Capt. Walther Bruins, airship ex-
pert, was enthusiastic over the per-
Torrance of the great ship. He
told international News Service:
1.-THE flight was great achieve
ment and, by the time it is over
will have covered 5000 or 5000
miles. No airplane could have done
that. Delay or accident doesn't
matter. Storms delay and damage

bert BALM arrived with "a hurt.
DR., Alfred Duerr, constructor of
the Graf, declared there was no use
worrying over the ship,
This Zeppelin" said he. "has
stood the most severe test, and has
proved that, even under the worst
conditions 1t is perfectly safe, There
fore, 1t is logical that it is as safe
as a passenger ship. Steamers are
sometimes late; sometimes are days
overdue. The accident to the Graz
is still a mystery to me, but 1 can
guarantee that it will never happen
again"
