Huge Dirigible Completes At.

ESTABLISHES RECORD FOR
 CROSSING TO WESTWARD

Ship, Buffeted by Heavy Winds,
 Tears Fabric On One Fin, Thereby Delaying Ar1ival-Schedule of 10
 Day Visit in Dominion Will Not
 Be Interrupted by Damage Much Valuable Data Collected.
 St. Hubert Airport, Montreal, Aug. 1 P-The biggest airship the world has ever known, the British dirigible R-100, completed it's first transatlantic crossing today, delay ed and somewhat damaged by storm, but completely triumphant after it's first great trial.
 Three days and more ago, at 9:45 E. s. T. on Monday night the R-100 lifted from the ground at Carding ton, England, and pointed it's blunt nose acros sthe sea. At 4:36 a. m. this morning, almost 79 hours after it's departure. it was secured to the
 
 ly for it's use.
 Weather Delays Trip
 It would have made a far faster trip but unfavorable weather en- ocean and was on the last leg of it's flight here. ripped the fabric covering of one fin. The damage was slight and was repaired in air, but time lost while the ship was hoye-to over Quebec prevented a landing before dark last night and so no attempt was made to moor until morning.
 Officers interviewed in the mast immediately after mooring said that the damage was trivial and would not necessitate any change in the ships schedule. which calls for several flights about Canada during the next ten days before it starts back across the sea for home
 In length the R-100 is between the American Los Angeles and the German Graf Zeppelin but in girth and cubic capacity it is far larger than either. Yet it was handled in the air during the mooring opera tion with as much apparent ease as tiny blimp, and when it's nose was fast at the top of the mast and ropes from sides and rear were se- cured to the ground, it foated as gently in the morning sun as a canoe on peaceful water.
 We never had a bump all the way across the Atlantic ocean and everything went perfectly until we got to Father Point" said Sir Den nistoun Burney, director of air craft development and designer of the dirigible, as the ship was moored
 Ran Into Bad Bump There we ran into a bad bump and the jar tore the fabric on a stabilizing fin. But the damage was temporarily repaired and was neg , ligible"

HANDS THIS MONTH
Washington Birthplace Will
Be Turned Over to National
Park Service.

One of The most important pieces OF
property in the United States will likely
change hands at the end of this month
when Mai. Brehon Somervell, district
engineer for the War Department for
the Washington area, turns over to the
National Park Service of the Interior
Department, under recent legislation,
the historic birthplace of George Wash
ington, at Wakefield, Va.
Nesting on the banks of the Potomac
River. some 80 miles by highway from
Washington, Wakefield is now a quiet
spot, dotted by beautiful cedarS. Plans
are afoot for restoring the house in
which washington was born, as one
OF the features of the Washington BIZ
centennial In 1882. A monument stands
on the United States reservation which
marks the site of Washington's BIRTH
place. The vault and ancient burying
place Of Washington's ancestors are
located near Wakefield on Bridge Creek.
Maj. Somervell has made his recon-
mendation regarding the transfer to
Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown, chief of Army
engineers. that the custody of the prop
erty be given to the National Park
Service of the Interior Department. The
director of the National Park Service,
Horace M. Albright. is member of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Wakefield has been in the official
custody of the United States engineer
office since 1925 and the United States
reservation comprises 1l88 acres. The
Wakefield National Memorial Associa-
ton is interested in identifying the
property and bringing it to look as
It did in 1892, when the Father of his
Country first saw the light, not so many
miles from Mount Vernon, that he was
later to make famous as his own home.
AS Washington was a soldier and an
engineer, 1t is known that there is a
feeling In the Army that, from the
viewpoint of sentiment, it might have
been well to permit reconstruction OF
the Washington birthplace to have gone
forward with the assistance of that
branch of the Government, but Con-
gress has seen otherwise and President
Hoover signed the measure recently
With the approval of Gen. Brown and
Secretary Hurley, the transfer will take
place about February %.
