Yep FLIES over
ARCTIC WASTES
Region of Peril Entered by
German DirigibIe.

By United Press
LENINGRAD, SOVIET RUSSIA,
July 27-The Graf Zeppelin was
well on her way toward the frozen
Arctic wastes today, on a flight over
the north pole.
The great German dirigible, COM
manded by DR.. Hugo Eckener,
veteran of all her major flights, left
Leningrad at 1920 a. m, Sunday
on the most perilous lap of the
present polar cruise, carrying six
teen passengers and thirty members
of the crew.
The course lay over the ice fields
of the Arctic which brought disaster
to Gen. Umberto Mobiles airship
Italia in 1928. DR.. Eckener admitted
that weather conditions would tend
to alter the course, but scientists
aboard hoped to make extensive
experiments and perhaps discover
various areas of unknown land.
The dirigible is using both long
and Short-wave radio apparatus,
with two operators working stimuli
taneously to keep in constant
touch with the world through Euro
pean, Russian and Arctic stations.
The Graf Zeppelin carried four
RATS for emergencies. Fourteen
persons can ride each raft. There
also was a rubber boat and two
KAYAK canoes, all of which could be
equipped with wireless.
