Tired From Reception, They
Refuse All Invitations Ex-
cept That of Press Club.

Wearied by their strenuous recep-
tion here yesterday, officers of the Graf
Zeppelin today refused all formal in
vitations except that of the National
Press Club for luncheon. They are to
leave Washington at 3:35 o'clock this
afternoon, DR.. Hugo Eckener, COM
mander and builder of the big dirigi-
BILE, and his first officer, Capt. Ernst A.
Lehman, for Akron, Ohio. to visit the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation plant,
and the others for Lakehurst, N. j.,
where the Zeppelin is being repaired
and fueled.
DR.. Eckener slept until late this
morning and then slipped out of the
Carlton Hotel, refusing to keep an en-
gagement to broadcast a message to the
the American radio public that had
been arranged for him. His place at
the microphone was taken by Capt.
lehman, who told of the trans-At-
lantic flight of the Graf Zeppelin in
almost perfect English, with only a
trace Of accent to betray his foreign
birth.
DR.. Eckener went directly to the Ger
man embassy and spent an hour or
more chatting quietly with friends. He
was accompanied by his son, Knute
Eckener, who came here from Lake
hurst last night after supervising re-
pairs to the zeppelin's elevator, torn by
an Atlantic storm; Count Ernst Won
Brandenburg, German minister of COM
munications, and Count Alexander Won
Brandenstein Zeppelin, son-in-law of
the inventor Of the Zeppelin type of
dirigible.
Dirigible Route Not Fixed.
Capt. Ernst A. Lehman, first Of
f1cer of the Graf Zeppelin, said today
that no definite route had been fixed
for the dirigible's Midwestern trip,
which is scheduled to begin at dawn
Wednesday.
"It Is an axiom of the air that dirig-
ible flights are largely controlled by
weather conditions" declared Capt.
Lehman, who has been flying zep-
pelins since 1918. 1--WE cannot be bound
by any fixed schedule of cities and
our trip will be regulated largely ac-
cording to current weather reports.
Even the time of departure has not
been set definitely. Should there be
heavy wind blowing across the hangar
at Lakehurst, we will not even attempt
to bring the Graf Zeppelin out We'd
nesday morning for fear OF further
damage"
The passenger list for the American
flight has not been completed, the first
officer said. About IS passengers will
be carried and it is hoped that the
Government flying services will be rep
resented. The Army and Navy and

GERMANS SEEKING
D. c. AIRPORT DATA
Congressional Field Photos
Asked by Zeppelin Officer
Pending Inspection.

Expressing great interest in the site
of the Congressional Airport, on the
Rockville pike six miles north of the
District line, as a terminus for the
proposed transatlantic Zeppelin service
from Germany to the United States,
Capt. Ernst A. Lehman, first officer
of the Graf Zeppelin, today requested
that he be furnished with a contour
map and complete aerial views of the
site and its surroundings and an
nounced that he will return here fol-
lowing the proposed Midwestern flight
of the Graf Zeppelin next week to per-
sonally inspect the site.
Capt. Lehman conferred for some
time this morning with Mai. Harry M
Horton. president of the airport, and
Lieut. Frederick Schauss, assistant fly
ing chief at the field. He told them
that DR.. Hugo Eckener, builder of the
Graf Zeppelin and her commander, is
greatly interested in the establishment
Of the proposed Zeppelin service, and
Is OF the opinion that Washington is
the logical terminus for such a route
in this country.
1000 Acres Sought.
The Zeppelin Corporation, Capt Leh-
mann said. would like to obtain flying
field of about 1000 acres, accessible to
the city by highway and rail, far
enough out to provide safety in land
ing.
There is considerable difficulty ma
neuvering a dirigible of the size of the
Graf Zeppelin into landing field un-
less the approaches are clear from
every direction, he pointed out,
He expressed keen interest in the
description given by Maj. Horton of the
Rockville site, which Is located at an
elevation of 400 feet above downtown
Washington, with unobstructed ap-
proaches from all directions. Owing
to the limited time at his disposal be-
fore his departure for Akron, Ohio, this
afternoon Capt. Lehman said, he
would not be able to visit the place
today.
He requested that Maj. Horton furnish
him Immediately with a contour map
showing the physical characteristics of
the field and its surroundings and with
aerial photographs from all angles,
showing the approaches and the prop
critics available for expansion of the
present airport area, now totaling 800
acres.
May Return Next Week.
He asked that this data be sent to
him at Lakehurst, N. j., where the Graf
Zeppelin now is being repaired and
refueled in the Navy dirigible hangar,
before the close of the zeppelin's Ameri-
can tour next week. He indicated that
he may, return to Washington next
Friday to look the site over, so that
he may submit personal report upon
his return to the Zeppelin works at
Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Lieut.. Schauss expects to fly over the
airport site Immediately to obtain the
bird's-eye Photographic views requested
by Capt Lehman and they will be
sent to Lakehurst early next week.

WARSAW, october 20 LP).-Breaking
