c R AF LANDING
PUT ON AIR

Through cooperation OF the Ma
tional Broadcaseing Company with
The Washington Times and other
Hearst newspapers, a nationwide
audience OF radio listeners heard
the colorful details of the arrival of
the Graf Zeppelin at Lakehurst
today.
1t was shortly after o'clock this
morning that Graham McNamee
went on the air with the announce.
ment that the Graf was over the
United States naval air station. He
was followed by William s. Lynch
and George r. Hicks, both N.B.C.
announcers, who aided in describing
the ships arrival.
Among the first of the world
girdling adventurers to speak over
the radio was Dr.. Hugo Eckener,
commander of the giant airship.
He talked both in German and Eng
lish and his voice was re.broadcast
to. Germany through short-wave
stations.
Particularly interesting was
Lynch's description of the Graf's
cabin. Carrying the microphone
to the side of the cabin he gave
the unseen audience a detailed de-
scription Of the rooms occupied by
the officers and passengers OF this
epochal voyage.
Graham McNamee acted az toast

the Welfare Hall at Lakehurst.

ports for Benefit Of
Shipping.

HONOLULU GP,.-The Navy trans
port Chaumont Is on the Pacific Ocean
as a mobile weather bureau and me-
neurological survey station. Recently
she was in port here en- route to Guam
and Manila and Lieut.. H. T. Kincaid,
navigation officer, told Of the work he
is doing in cooperation with the
Weather Bureau in Washington.
Daily weather maps are plotted aboard
the vessel from information gathered
by radio from San Francisco, Japan.
China, Manila, Apia and Pinope, as
we'll as reports from vessels at sea.
From all these data Lieut.. Kncaid COM
piles a weather map for the entire Pa
cific. The findings Of the Chaumont
are then radioed to the San Francisco
Weather Bureau for broadcast.
The work covers important phases Of
weather and its relation to shipping and
airplane travel.
Lieut.. Kincaid said that the Hydro
graphic Office, cooperating with the
Bureau of AeronauticS and the Bureau
of Engineering Of the Navy, is manu-
featuring instruments which will auto
matically record the direction and In
tensity Of static.
Soundings of the upper air are made
by releasing balloons which are spotted
with a sextant. BY keeping check on
the speed and course of the ship 1t Is
possible to figure accurately the velocity
Of the air currents and the exact height
of cloud formations.

MEXICAN OIL ILLS

Americans Seek to Develop
Petroleum Resources, Portes
Gil Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, July 26.-President
Emilio Portes Gil yesterday said that
the critical condition of the Mexican
oil industry was due to world condl-
lions rather than domestic and added
that American capitalists already were
negotiating with his government for
further development OF petroleum re-
sources.
The President discussed in detail the
economic outlook for his country with
a group of Americans. led by Hubert c.
Herring. who have been here for 10
DAYS featuring on the relations between
the United States and Latin America.
He told them the government program
calls for intensification of education and
of road building. The appointment OF
former President Plutarco Elias Gales
to reorganiZe the finances of the Ma
tional Railways was to enable payment
of railway obligations and 1t is pro-
posed to enter into an agreement with
international bankers, which VIII en-
able the government to meet its COM
mitments.
Mexican army posts along the United
States border were said to be purely for
policing purposes.
The President discussed in detail the
agrarian question and said that eX-
preparations of land represent 3.17 per
cent of the total national area, or about
6,345,O00 hectares.
He did not believe enforcement OF the
agrarian laws would endanger produc-
ton on a large scale and pointed out
that in the State Of Morelos the pro-
duction of rice has increased so as to
offset the decline in sugar production.

First of the large air carriers to
install complete radio system as an
integral part of its operations, Trans

establish broadcasting stations OF Its
own, because part of its flying route

fiies all next day to Waynoka. Okla. ;
rides again by train to Clovis. N. Mex,
and flies the second day to Los Angeles
to negotiate the Transcontinental Air
