GRAF ZEPPELIN TO
 SAIL WEDNESDAY
Gorilla Booked As Passen. ger Over Route Not
 Decided

Berlin, May 13 WP-Barrins last minute changes, l9 passengers and crew of 40 aboard the Graf Zeppelin will enjoy the company of a fiapper gorilla during the trans atlantic flight of the Zeppelin, which starts on Wednesday.
 The gorilla. Missy. is destined for the Chicago Zoo and has been tenta- lively booked. although her boy friend. who was to have sailed with her. has been turned down. The reason for the discrimination against the male gorilla was not dis closed.
 The course of the Zeppelin on It's flight to the United States has not been decided. although it probably will not fly the shortest route by way of Ireland and Newfoundland be- cause of almost certain head winds and fogs on that course.
 Authorities have been considering three different southern courses. One would be by way of Bordeaux, the Azores ard Bermuda. Another would take the big airship over Gibraltar, Funchal (Madeira) und Bermuda. A third route. the most southerly, would skirt the northern fringe of the trade winds, where constant tail winds coull he expected. However, it was deemed unlikely that the lat ter route would be chosen. since it is 7.400 miles, or almost double the Ireland Newfoundland route.
