BRITISH ANNOUNCE
| OCEAN AIR SERVICE
Passenger-MaiI DirigibIe Will
Make First Trip to u. S.
in Three Months.

Passenger and mail service across
the Atlantic by aircraft is TO be inaugu-
rated within three months, with the
British dirigible R-l00 scheduled to
make her initial flight. The air vessel
Is now under construction in England.
and will use as her American terminal
the naval moOring mast at Lakehurst,
N. j.
The plan was revealed yesterday by
Secretary Hoover, who has conferred
with British representatives here.
Further conferences are TO be held with
the Post Office Department with view
to giving the R-l00 a special mail con-
tract at premium postage rate, such
as the land air mail services are ac-
Ioi n The vessel Is designed TO carry
100 passengers and 10 tons OF cargo.
Her tentative schedule will require 48
hours on her westward voyage and 50
hours on the eastward return.
Oficials of the Commerce Department
aeronautics branch said the difference
in the westward and eastward time is
due to the drag of the earth in rota-
ton through its air envelope. and the
prevailing westward winds across the
Atlantic The winds do not always
blow from the west. they said. but the
prevailing wind is from that direction,
and the higher the altitude and
stronger and steadier the wind. The
difference in time between mail planea
eastbound and Westbound is strongly
felt in the Air Mail Service
The venture Is to be opened to Amer
lean capital. Mr. Hoover indicated. i.
the trial trips are successful. In that
case. a number of additional air cruis-
ers will be built
British sponsors are represented here
by c. Dennis Burney. a member OF
Parliament. Mr.. Burney has been ad-
vised by the aeronautics branch that II
will apply TO the dirigible only the
treatment given foreign ships in Ameri-
can harbors. which means that British
regulations and supervision with respeci
to the safety of the air liner and its
design would be accepted by this Gov
ernment

ton held In May. and the new gov
ernor, who takes over ONCE then, has
usually a good deal TO say about who
is selected. The fact that Long was
elected by the dry rural votes may give
him something TO think about when 1t
comes TO picking delegates to the ma
tional convention. On the other hand
Mr.. Long was warmly supported In his
race by the New Orleans States and
by many AL Smith men In New Orleans
Not all the Democrats here believe
that Gov. Smith Is TO be nominated by
the Democrats or that Mr.. Hoover u TO
be the choice OF the Republicans.
One prominent man Of the Demo-
cratic persuasion Is Offering 10 bet even
money that Smith Is not nominated.
and that Hoover is not named by the
Kansas City convention, But this view
of the situation Is unusual here TO say
the least.
The people OF Louisiana are vitality
Interested in flood control. 1t Is a ques-
ton which sirpasses all others In their
minds. They believe that upon It's prop
er solution depends the future OF a
large part OF the State and particularly
of New Orleans.
AssaiI Present Program.
IDey are lOJkllk rhkEiiJ w WANING
ton today for flood prevention legisla-
ton. They are bitterly opposed 10 the
administrations plan which has called
for a 20 per cent contribution by the
States To meet the expenses. They do
not see how 1t is possible for the states
to make this contribution.
They do not believe that II Is fair
10 call upon the States for this con-
tribitton. In some Democratic quarters
Il IL argued that Mr.. Hoover has lost
caste In the State because OF this ad'
| ministration plan. that the people look =
| ed to him to bring about the submission
| of flood control plan that was salts
| factory 10 residents 0f Louisiana and
| that he failed 10 produce. But the RE"

| he is stiil enormously popular WIN The
| people and they say further that they
| believe the matter of flood control legis-
| iatiOu will be worked out no as tn meet
the wishes of the people OF the Miksis-

10 sum up, the probabilities are that
