search of the youth.
Young Factor appeared at the

MACON SCARS
into SKIES ON
MAIDEN TRIP
Akron's Sister Ship Swings
AIoft With Weather
Conditions Ideal.
BIZ Lnited Press

By United Press
AKRON, April 21-The navy
dirigible U. S. S. Macon, largest
lighter han-air craft in the world,
was taken into the air today on her
maiden flight.
Drawing the skies chat hurled her
sister ship, the Akron, to destruc-
ton in the Atlantic ocean, the huge
silvery ship swung slowly upward
from her mooring mast at Good
year-Zeppein airdock here at 6:01
a. m.
Weather conditions were ideal.
The ship headed into the north
east, motors roaring in crescendo as
the dirigible gained altitude and
leveled off. No destination had been
announced, officials wishing to be
free to seek the most favorable
weather conditions. 1t was expected
the Macon would remain aloft most
of the day.
Circles Around Airport
After flying northeast for several
minutes, the Macon began to circle,
and finally was headed almost due
south. 1t was apparent the lnten-
ton was to circle around near the
airport until Commander Dresel
was certain every part was function
ing perfectly.
A snub-nosed blimp, looking like
a pigeons egg in comparison with
the Macon, tagged along after the
great craft as it drifted into the
northeast.
Only few spectators we're on hand
when Lieutenant Commander Alger
H. Dresel, now commanding his
third. lighter than-air craft, gave
the long-awaited command, up
ship"
First of Six Flights
The flight is the first of six sched-
uled trial cruises, during which a
navy board of inspection, headed by
Rear Admiral George Day, will test
every phase of operation Of the giant
craft before it is accepted by tire
navy for delivery to its permanent
base at Sunnyvale, Cal.
More than one hundred persons
were aboard, including f1fty-five
members of the crew under Com
mander Dresel, thirty inspectors and
engineers of the Coodyear-Zeppelin
Corporation, which built the ship
for the navy; ten naval officers per-
manently stationed here during con-
struction, and the eight members
of the navy trial board.
The maiden flight originally was
scheduled for April IS, but was de-
layed daily since that time because
of unfavorable weather conditions.
No Sign of Nervousness
Still air and clear skies we're re-
quired for the first flight, termed
the "shakedown," which is gen.
eral preliminary test of all phases
of operation. Later flights will pro-
vide final tests for the eight huge
motors, for speed, climbing, diving
and turning ability, endurance,
mooring, and ground handling char
acteristicS.
There was no sign of nervousness
on the part of the crew or navy
officials, many of whom were trans
ferred from the Akron for duty here
only a few weeks before the final
disastrous flight of that ship.
Officials announced that James
Wilson, member of the ground crew
suffered minor leg injury when
he fell from the mooring mast dur
ing the unlocking operations. 1t
was the only miShap.

In both chambers Democratic

feet of the bill on domestic price

Some fear that no funnel for
shooting the new currency into
fields of productive activity has
been provided, despite the provision
for a vast increase in United States
notes.
Others argue that the plan to buy
