NEW YORK, October 18.-Dr. Hugo
Eckener, commander of the Graf Zep-
pelin, hopes to take the German diri-
glble over Akron. Ohio. home of the
only Zeppelin plant in America. where
score of DR.. Eckener's old friends are
now at work making balloons and
dirigibles. He said he also plans to
visit Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago,
ii possible.
The region covered by these cities has
been intensely interested in the visit
Of the dirigible, as in raw materials
and technical organization they are
squared away for rapid commercial de-
velopment in dirigible manufacture and
operation.
Today, now that the welcoming up
roar has subsidized, business men, Scien-
lists and engineers are appraising the
performance of the Graf Zeppelin
Does it mean that the era of swift,
safe and comfortable transoceanic fly
ing has arrived, and does it mean that
America will swing into Zeppelin man.
ufacture, seeking a place and possibly
leadership in international traffic?
Economic Questions Arise.
The more spectacular aspects of the
flight have overshadowed these consid-
erations and authentic testimony as to
immediate economic possibilities of zep-
pelin transportation is lacking While
the Graf Zeppelin behaved splendidly
in riding the storm in Midatlantic, the
fact that the voyage was only a few
hours shorter than that of the fastest
liners has put forward the question of
whether the saving of time is as yet
a negotiable substitute for the lower
cost. comfort and safety of steamship
travel
Newspaper opinion in both Europe
and America is somewhat divided on
this issue. Now that the curtain is
being lowered on the romantic aspects
of DR.. Eckener's achievement facts and
figures are being assembled at the point
of sharp pencil.
One basic consideration involves the
question Of just what the engineers
can do in increasing the useful load of
the Zeppelin. B. Schnitzer, who helped
DR. Eckener build the Los Angeles, and
who is now at the Akron plant of the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation, says
continued technical progress will rapidly
increase the carrying possibilities of
Zeppelins and at the same time lower
costs Of construction and maintenance.

He hopes to interest American CAPT.

1bles, bigger than the Graf Zeppelin
running on a 50-hour schedule between
Europe and the United States. He needs
S15,O0O,O00 to finance the undertaking
and hopes to obtain it In this country.
he believes an airport near Washington
or Baltimore, with the European termi-
nus in Switzerland, would be the most
feasible because of weather conditions.
A conference among himself, officers
OF the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation
OF Akron, Ohio, and others he hopes
to interest in the project was arranged
tor today at LaKehurSt N. j., where
the big Zeppelin is berthed.
Next Tuesday DR.. Eckener expects
TO start his air tour of the United
States in the Graf Zeppelin. Newspa-
pers said that Henry Ford might be
passenger on the Zeppelin as far as
Dearborn. Mich, where stop is plan
ned at the Ford mooring mast. One
newspaper said Mr.. Ford is to 60 as
the guest of DR.. Eckener, while other
passengers would be obliged to pay
fancy prices. The motor car magnate
is to be in East Orange, NJ j., Satur-
day for the presentation to Thomas A.
Edison Of the Congressional Gold
Medal.
Frederick Gilfallin, an American re-
siding in Lucerne, Switzerland. who
was passenger on the Zeppelin, is
not going to make the return trip. He
sailed last night for Europe aboard the
Mauretania. Gilfallin, an inveterate
smoker, found the trip on the Zeppelin
a hardship because of the ban on

Religious Education Chair
man Urges History and
Records Be ChronicIed.

Proposal that bureau be established
to keep the history and personnel rec
ordS of all the clergy of the Episcopal
Church was advanced and favorably
discussed today by the commission on
recruiting and distributing the ministry
of the department of religious tduca
ton meeting today at the Washington
Hotel
In the past the commission had been
quite successful in working out its prob
lens of recruiting the ministry, DR..
Harry B. Nichols of New York City.
chairman Of the commission. declared.
but pressing question now was to
provide more satisfactory method of
distributing the ministry.
The problem of placing the ministry
rightly" DR.. Nichols declared should
not be left as it is at present with the
bishops and the vestries, both of which,
he characterized as sensitive" There
should be established by the church,
he said. bureau where unbiased per-
sonnel records of every one of the
clergy could be kept and this bureau
should be used as a great base from
which the distribution of the ministry
place.
Dr.. Nichols said there had been rec
ords of ministers placed in extremely
difficult places without sufficient sup
port of the church. There had been
instances where less competent men
had sent in glowing accounts of their
capabilities. whereas the more capable
men had not sent in sufficient records
of their abilities to give them fair
standing.
On thu whole, he declared, the char
acter offthe recruits which the church
now was getting was very satisfactory
and splendid, and the commission was
not devoting SO much attention now to
that phase of the question.

he said. my own conviction is that
such rapid progress is being made in
increasing the carrying capacity of zep-
pelins that they will soon be we'll over
the line of commercial practicability.
Germany and America are going ahead
rapidly, and England now has under
way a dirigible which will carry 100
persons. I am convinced that the time
of the transatlantic crossing will be
so decidedly shortened in the near flu
ture that this alone will constitute
a tremendous economic asset even If
progress should be slower in increasing
the load of passengers and freight"

ECONOMIC QUESTIONS SHADOW
ZEPPELIN'S FLIGHT TO AMERICA
But German Expert at Akron Says Con-
tinued Technical Progress on Balloons
Will Erase Difficulties

"The first problem was to make them
seaworthy," said Mr. Schnitzer DR..
Eckener has convincingly proved that
they can weather the toughest of
storms AS a demonstration of this.
the accident to the fin of the Graf
Zeppelin was a fortunate happening
Their mobility, vastly greater than that
of steamship, enables them to a
greater extent to avoid the gales. With
more skilled handling, which will come
quickly, there Is no reason why a diri-
gible should be menaced by storm. 1t
is possible to tack against a wind. just
as with an ocean ship, and, while head
way may be leSsened, a dirigible is
perfectly safe If it rides with the wind
as in this way it meets no outside stress
unlike a ship, held in the water, but
driven by gale.
THE successful use Of the Blau gas
on this voyage has an important bear
ing on the economic future of the Zep-
pelin, as it increases the useful load to
the extent of the saving in the weight
of fuel While the Germans have made
the first use Of this gas, American lab
oratory research has kept pace with this
development, and when the two largest
Zeppelins in the world are completed at
Akron they will undoubtedly have this
gas, or similar compound, at their
command, If they need it.
u. S. Has Helium Advantage.
America has a great advantage in
having available an adequate supply of
helium. Germany, although it has never
had an explosion of hydrogen in a
dirigible. would use helium if it had it
The fact that helium is n-infiamma-
BILE probably assures its use in the fu-
ture in America
Mr.. Schnitzer was asked whether any
one bad made scientific study, from
the commercial viewpoint, of the COM
parative carrying power of aeroplanes
and dirigibles. with a view to cost OF
construction and operation and possible
returns.
II do not know that any complete
study OF this kind has ever been made >
