AKRON. o.. Sept. 1O.-Just as
Frie6erTicshafen is known all over
the world as the home of the great
Zeppelin, so Akron seems destined
to become world-famous as the cen
ter of Americas lighter than-air
activity.
America has been conscious Of di-
rigibies only in a vague and dis
interested sort of way, but the
recent impressive flights of the Graf
Zeppelin have 50 stirred the country
that all eyes are turning toward
Akron.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company was established in 1898,
and so saw the birth of the auto
motive industry.
Free Balloons Studied
Goodyear. as early as 1910, was
studying the making of free ball
looms. 1t even laid out its own flying
field at Wingfoot lake, ten miles
east of Akron, and built large
asrship hangar.
In 1918 it won its first international
balloon race, flying out of Paris.
Since then there have been Good
year balloons in every national race
and most of the internationals.
Since 1912 Goodyear has built
more than 1000 balloons and 100
sirships in Akron. Most of the air
ships were of the non-rigid "blimp"
type, for the army and navy.
Goodyear, in 1925, built a small
commercial blimp called the Puri-
tan. 1t still is flying. It was of $4,000
cubic foot gas capacity. only one
flftieth the size Of the dirigible Los
Angeles. Sister ships to the Puritan
have been built until Goodyear has
a feet of six. The largest and new
est is the Defender, which carries
10000 cubic feet Of helium and
hauls eight persons.
Gets Zeppelin Rights
Also in 1925 came the move that
sent Goodyear off as one of the
dirigible leaders of the world. In
that year the company took over
VIC AAS4u OIL oLllp p1GCAlGo, pLOCGSSGo
ana rights of the Zeppelin company
for North America. The Goodyear
Zeppelin corporation was formed.
DR.. Karl Arnstein, in charge of all
design and construction of seventy
airships for the German organiza-
ton, was placed in charge of the
work at Akron
When the United States navy, in
1927, called for bids on two huge
dirigibles, each of 6,5O0,O00 cubic feet
capacity, Goodyear-Z Zeppelin sub
mitted the prizewinning design. The
contract was signed last October.
The company had to have some
thing to build them in. Work was
started on a dock at the municipal
airport here. Dock is the lighter
than-air word for hangar.
This dock is nearly half finished.
1t will be done next spring.

Would Swallow the Woolworth.

Lieut.. Hinehey, Sick 22 Weeks, Wants to Resume Duty But
 Commissioners Hesitate
8 DOCTORS DISAGREE
 OVER HIS CONDITION
Subject of Dispute to be Sent to Hartford Heart Specialist for Searching Physical Examination Difference of Opinion Expressed Chief or Extra Car for Deputies.

For half an hour last night mem- bers of the board of fire commits sioners at their monthly meeting tried to determine a course of ac ton in the case of Lieut. Thomas Hinchey, who claims he is physical ly fit to return to duty at No. house, but whom the board physician and other doctors have declared un- it for servoce.
 Information was given the board that Lieut.. Hinchey does not wish to be retired on pension and the board members would acquiesce if they were assured that he was in condi- ton for duty, but in the face of re- ports and of P weeks of continued absence it was the sense of the meeting that the matter was one which should be given serious study. Finally, on motion of Commissioner Charles r. Dehm, it was decided to delegate Chairman James J. Butler to have the fireman examined again by Dr. Arthur J. Savard, department physician and to have further exam lllEltlOll by i SEJtNictlio' l'l' Al blNi r. Emmett of Hartford, and by Hinchey's own doctor.
 Deny Riding Hinchey
 Information had been brought to the commissioners that they have been accused of trying to "ride Hinchey out of the depart ment' and the board members re- scented the charges. It is understood that some of the big men in the department" are also a party to the supposed conspiracy and Chief Noble, speaking for the officers, said that they would be glad to have the lieu tenant back if he were able to serve.
 At one time during the discussion Chairman Butler called the members attention to the fact that the city is liable for damages of $10,o00 if Lieut.. Hinchey should meet with ' fata1 accident, while he was on duty. He continued:
 "The most important phase of this is the fact that a mans life would be lose. We would be justly criticized for our neglect"
 Declared Unfit by Physicians
 Lieut.. Hinchey has not been on duty since March. He was eXamined by the boards former physician, Dr. A. L. Avitable, who declared him unfit for duty, it was reported. The boards present physician, Dr. Saw ard, made an examination and al- though it was reported by friends close to Hinchey that the doctor had pronounced him fit for duty this was not borne out in the physicians s written report to Chief Noble. The letter, in full, follows:
 ''W. J. Noble,
