ZEPPELIN is INVITED
TO MANY COUNTRIES
Egypt Only Eastern Mediterranean
Area Not on Program of
Coming Voyage.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 27.-The German
foreign Office announced today that it
had received permission for the Graf
Zeppelin to fly over all foreign coun-
tries which it proposed to touch on its
coming voyage around the eastern half
of the Mediterranean. 1t was stated,
however, that Egypt had been elimi-
mated. This left the supposition that
the dirigible would pass off the north
coast of that country.
The foreign office acted in behalf of
DR.. Hugo Eckener, who will command
the big airship on this journey. Earlier
there had been intimations that Great
Britain preferred that the Graf Yep
pelin should not pass over Palestine or
Egypt, as 1t did not wish German pres
tige to be enhanced in those countries
The flight is to start late next month.

This statement is not based on any
definite fact, but on general knowl-
edge of the methods employed in the
great non-union ship yards through
the years. Thus, the government
makes it easy to build ships and the
workers of the ship yards pay the
penalty coming and going. It's
great business.
Observe the soviets again. If there
is difference between the Asatic
policy of the czars and the Asiatic
policy of the soviets, close examina-
tion fails to disclose it.
The soviets, making the gigantic
bluff of being the spokesman of the
proletariat, pursue the ruthless course
of empire as bitterly and persistently
as the czars ever did.
The soviets want the Chinese East

they get it.

The soviets have an army of propa-

PADDOCK IS AGAIN
 CENTER OF STORM
Former Sprint Star Draws Down Full Official Condemnation

New York, Aug. 16 P,-Charley Paddock. center of many an anna teur athletic union storm, again has drawn down upon his head the full force of official condemnation.
 Answering statements made by Paddock in the current issue of Golfers Weekly, Avery Brundage, president of the A. A. L., declare yesterday that Paddock, by admit ting that he has been sailing under false colors and never has been an amateur honestly has 'contrmed the suspicious" that nearly caused hIs disbarment from the 1928 Olym- pie team.
 'paddock's article is filled with inaccuracies and untruths, is sen sationalism of the rankest sort and is just what might be expected from someone whose record has been re- plete with efforts to cash in on his athletic prowess regardless Of the rules" Brundage declared.
 fl Brundage said that after the Olympic trials at Cambridge last summer practically every member Of the A. A. U. track and field com mittee and of the American Olym- pie committee felt that Paddock Repeatedly had capitalized his ath- letic fame and had therefore forfeit ed his amateur standing"
 Under the rules, however, the case reverted 10 the A. A. |. district in which Paddock was registered as an athlete. This district, the Southern Pacific association of the A. A. |. cleared the sprinter and the nation al registration committee concurred. Paddock then went to Amsterdam with the team.
 Paddock's charges that he was tcheated" out of place in the semi final round of the 100 meter dash at the tryouts: that the heats were seeded" in an effort to eliminate him; that the time announced for his heat was two-fifths of a second slower than it actually was, and that he was forced 10 return to the west coast to compete in the section tryouts at Los Angeles all were cate gorically denied by Daniel J.

therefore, that the new service will meet a real need not only in the case of traders, but of individuals. The rate will be fixed at point interme- diate between those of the letter and sample posts-three cents for two ounces or with a minimum postage of 12 cents.
 An approach was also made to the establishment of the pre-war sys- tenn of uniform postage rate in all countries by reducing appreciably the margin of variation from the standard rates which is now allowed
 The question of international air services was also considered, and the congress adopted a complete code of regulations for air mails, based on the recommendation of a special conference which sat at the Hague in ~the autumn of i |. Provision has 'been made for the revision of the regulations so as to meet the rapid development of air services.
