 American rights of the Zeppelin company are vested in the Good year Zeppelin company, which is to construct two dirigibles for the United States navy that will be the largest in existence. At Akron, Ohio, the ring for one of them, the ZRS-4, is to be laid this month.
 The company also is preparing to undertake mail and passenger transport to Honolulu and South American cities by dirigible. Its dock at Akron, consisting of ex- tensive facilities for mooring, hous- ing and carins~il ili general for the ships is to provide 9 great inland port for dirigibles.
 P. w. Chapman, operator of the { United States Lines, is planning ex- periments the ultimate objective of which is the establishment of trans continental and trans-Atlan- | tic air service.
 The success of the German-built Dornier DO-X airplane in its ini- tial flight with 169 passengers has given additional confidence to those who believe heavier than air ma lchines will prove more practicable than dirigibles for long flights.
 Dorniers are expected to be placed in international service through company which brings together tho General Motors and Fokker cor
 porations.

Effort to Cement Elements that Gave State to
 Hoover Fails
ELECTION REGARDED
 AS TEST FOR SOUTH
National Interest Was Att tracted to Battle as Indi-
 cative of All South

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-By a majority that already has mounted to considerably more than twice the size of that by which President Hoover carried the State last year, Virginia returned to the Demo- cratic fold yesterday, electing John Garland, Pollard to be Governor and with him the entire Demo- cratic State ticket. Pollard first in the primaries and then in the general election represented the regular organization Democrats. He was a strong supporter of Alfred E. Smith last year, stumping the State for him, and bitterly assailed religious intolerance.
 Interest was attracted to the Vir- ginia contest from all over the country and it was regarded as 9 crucial test of the attitude of the South toward the 1928 issues and the present party leadership with John J. Raskob as Chairman of the National Committee. The gen. eral opinion is that the result was decidely against the reorgani- zation of the Democratic Party and that it indicates that the
 wave which gave five Southern
 States to the Republicans last veal i h9s nreI,ably spent itself.

MADRID, Nov. 6.-Spain, under impetus from an enthusiastic gov ernment, is pushing construction of another great Armada-a powerful commercial and military air fleet.
 Through the development of com mercial airways Spanish aviation observers see an increase in Span ish mercantile power. which cen turies ago manifested itself in her great colonial empire, which has since dwindled to few small hold ings in Africa and in the Canary and Balearic Islands.
 Perhaps the most striking aspect of the movement is the zest with which efforts are being made to es- tablish a regular commercial dirigi- ble service between Spain and Ar gentina. This project, which has long been under consideration and
