STOLP, Germany, May 4, (P-The sturdy dirigible Italia, which with stood a night of buffeting by adverse weather on the trip from Milan on April 15 and 16, headed North again for the fringe of the Arctic wastse which 1t will explore.
 The Italia is enroute to Kingsbay and Spitzbergen where the supply ship Citta Di Milano, which will be used as a base for explorations, will be used as a base for explorations while awaiting the airship's arrival. The vessel was reported yesterday as being nearing it's northern base.
 It is quite likely the Italia will land enroute at Vadsoe, on the north ern rim of Norway, to take on addi- tional gas and benzine.
 The Italia has a more ambitious program than the Norge and several flights will be made in the spring and summer firm Spitzbergen. The pur- pose of these flights will be to ascer- tain if land exists on either side of the route followed by Peary.

The World and All
A CABINET SUGGESTION
BY Charles 2. Driscoll

Doubtless Mr.. Hoover will find several suggestions
awaiting him when he settles down for his first good
day Of office work after his long. hard trip.
Here's one. Il told you Id talk politics after the
election, you know
suggest that Mr.. Hoover incorporate in his first
message to congress a request for a law creating a de-
pstment of aviation. Call it that or anything else that
may seem suitable.
As a corollary to this. I suggest that Charles A. Lind
bergh he asked to take the post.
Lone ego, when Lindbergh first came sailing back
from Europe, ! suggested in this column that such !
department should be created, and that Lindbergh take
the portfolio of the air. l believe events since tha.
have made a renewal Of the suggestion very appro-
pirate AZ this time.
L~indbergh has worn we'll. He vent through his ne.
riod cf hero-worship better, ! think. than anyone else
has ever done in the history Of the world, considering
the duration and intensity Of the period. From those

believe there is nobody alive 50 competent for the
position of secretary Of aviation as Lindbergh. Doubt
less he has a better-psying job. | have heard fabulous
tales Of the wealth Lindbergh has acquired since his
famous flight. I hope they are all true. II he has
made much money, perhaps he esn afford to work for
the people at the head Of q new government depart
ment that has to do with flight.
ss
Really, Id like to see this great young man safely
hook for the public service while he is young. for !
believe he could be Of incaleulable value to America in
the formative years of flight. just ahead.
And Lindbergh is good for other things besides AVA
tion. tee. When he gets the aviation department upon
its feet, he might very p~rofitsbly be shifted TO the de-
rartnent OF commerce, and thence 10 other depart
ments. 50 that he might become an expert in business
like government, such as Mr.. Hoover, himself. Then,
20 years hence. it might be profitable for the American
people to make possible the rounding out Of . great

The only logical safe way for . tller to cross the
Atlantic from America TO Europe Is via Greenland and
intermediary points.
II is fair TO assume that the eastward transatlantic
flights have generally set out from near New York City
because that route is the traditional one for ships sail
ing upon the sea. II is nevertheless true that al condi-
tons for flying are particularly unfavorable along the
ocean lanes. The single hop over the Atlantic is SO
close to the endurance limit for modern planes that
even on the eastward passage the chance is very grea.
that the pilot will run out of fuel. No part Of his
cargo can therefore be given over 20 passengers or I'd
profit yielding freight. The westward flight against
a prevailing wind and against the drift Of weather IS
even more hazardous.
But the flying route from Chicago to Europe. u
Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Oslo or Stockholm, refuires no
single hop of more than 200 miles, by way of Green
land. and no overFsss stretch in excess Of 500 miles,
Further. b. way al thc north there are distinct fea-
lures for checking tho ocurse, radio and weather sta
tions; and convenient stopping places where fuel, with
advance knowledge OF the flight. can be provided.
