Before Federal Aviation

Regular airplane and airship serv-

by a group of countries, it was re-
vealed ooday as Dr. Hugo Eckner.
world foremost airship leader, testi-
fled before the Federal Aviation Com

be the terminal of the transatlantic

DR.. Eckener said the worlds largest

demonstration service between the
United States and Europe early next
year. Plans for regular service across
the North Atlantic from June to No
vember. 1885, are being completed.
United States Facilities Lacking.
DR.. Eckener told the commission
that but for the lack Of traffic facili-
ties in the United States the Graf
Zeppelin, now making its thirty
third round trip across the South
Atlantic, would have gone into service
between Germany and the United
States four years ago.
The veteran Graf Zeppelin, now six
years old, has completed AIS trips
over a distance of more than 900, ,00O
miles, including II crossings of the
Atlantic Ocean. DR.. Eckener said.
The extended voyages of the Graf
Zeppelin prove, in my opinion, without
shadow of doubt the practicability
of airships for commercial service, "
DR.. Eckener said 1T is for this rea-
son that an airship service between
the United States and Europe should
be inaugurated with a minimum OF
delay, particularly in consideration OF
the immense significance and impor-
tance of this busy traffic line across
the Atlantic"
DR.. Eckener said that he would be
prepared to train American personnel
for the North Atlantic Line, "and give
these men every opportunity to &C.
quire the necessary experience in the
especially interesting and-accordine
to the opinion of many-especially
malicious atmosphere of the North
Atlantic"
He said an ai-ship crew could be
trained for commercial service in one
year, but that the commander of the
ship should have an experience Of al
least three years in actual flying over
ocean. This was taken as an indirect
criticism of the policy of the United
States Navy. alternating its airship
commanders between duties af1oat and
in the air.

A telegram asking Federal interven-

received today by President Roosevelt
from the employees and referred to the
National Labor Relations Board.
A short while before the American
Federation of Labor said it had sent
James Wilson of Cincinnati, former
vice president of the federation, to
Cleveland to investigate the labor
troubles there which led the Great
Atlantic &, Pacific Tea Co. to close
Its stores.
There was no indication what po-
sition the Government would take on
the request.
The National Labor Relations Board
and Hugh L. Kerwin, director of con-
ciliation for the Department of Labor,
kept in touch with the situation by
telephone.
Wilson is a Cincinnati city commits
sioner, former president of the Pattern
Makers Union and a member of the

The labor board said the dispute
was being handled for the present
by Ralph A. Lind. director of the

|G.O.P. IN DELAWARE
| FAVORED TO WIN
Split in Democratic Ranks
Seen Aid to Senator
Townsend.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

WILMINGTON, Del, October %
Democratic rows versus united
Republican party with an adequate"
campaign fund is the picture in Della
ware, as the political campaign goes
into its final week.
This situation is very likely to land
Senator John G. Townsend, jr, Re
publican, in the Senate for another
six-year term. Indeed, Democrats
privately admit this although they
continue to put up hard fight.
In the race for the House seat
there seems more uncertainty, al
though Townsend may pull the ticket
through. Delaware has only one seat
in the House and the choice is made
in a Statewide election as in the
senatorial contest.
Townsend is personally popular in
the State. He was the unanimous
choice for denomination at an har-
monious State Republican convention.
His Democratic opponent is Repre-
sentative Wilbur L. Adams. Adams
was nominated after Judge Hugh M.
Morris, the real choice of the Demo-
Gratis, had run out on the convention
Morris retired five or six years ago
from the Federal bench.
Prior to the convention he had said
he did not wish the nomination. He
had accepted an invitation, however,
to make the keynote speech at ..e
convention and the Democrats believed
they could draft" him, particularly
if the convention was stampeded for
him. But after Morris had made his
speech he left the convention abruptly
and made it clear he would not accept
Discord Develops.
In the chaotic situation in which
the convention found itself the Adams
supporters put over their candidate,
but only after many of the delegates
had left, disgruntled, and according
to all reports, many Of the Democrats
are still disgruntled, particularly in
Sussex County. It is recalled also
that Adams won election to the House
two years ago because an independent
dry Republican candidate entered the
field, splitting the Republican vote
This independent candidate polled
10000 votes. while Adams won by
less than 5000.
