Eckener Informed Officials Of German
Authority in Talks Here.
By the Associated Press.
]. Monroe johnson, Assistant Sec
retary of Commerce, said today DR..
Hugo Eckener, dirigible designer. had
informed him Germany was willing
to build a sister ship to the Hinden-
burg and sell it to private American
interests for transatlantic operation.
johnson said that on a visit here
recently Eckener told him he had
consulted German government au-
thorities and had received permission
to build a dirigible in Germany for
possible sale to American interests.
For some time the Commerce De-
partment has had under consideration
the possibility of Government subsi-
dization of construction and operation
of dirigibles in transatlantic service
by private enterprise.
The idea originally was advanced at
q recent press conference the COM
merce Department might seek legisla-
ton authorizing such subsidy.
johnson emphasized that the Com
merce Department was conducting no
negotiations with Eckener, saying any
such discussion would have to take
place between private interests and
the German builder.
He added that should subsidy ar
rangement for lighter-than-air craft
become an actuaAty, it might be ad-
visable to buy the first dirigible from
makers abroad ito put the system into
operation quickly"
After the original ship was acquired,
he said, then construction in the
future could be undertaken exclusively
in this country.
johnson did not reveal the price
Eckener quoted for 4 dirigible, but
indicated 1t was In excess Of s., 2,000, 900.

because "Ohio is a pivotal State, the

He predicted Republican strength

Numerous Republican leaders Wis

Col. Knox made no address here,

The Republican plan, Col. Knox

is. everybody will contribute and will
follow a pay-as-you-go policy"

ALEXANDRIA, Va. October ga
tllreefold development of the Hybla
Valley Airport site by the Federal
Government, including its establish
ment as transatlantic Zeppelin base.
was recommended by Samuel J. Solo
mon, vice president of the National
Airport Corp. and manager of the
Washington Airport, at a meeting of
Alexandria and Fairfax County off,
cials here yesterday afternoon.
II am confident the Government
can obtain the site from its owners,
the Washington Airport Corp, for a
nominal sum-" Solomon said.
The site, a 1,28l-acre tract, is
located four miles south of here, ad-
jacent to the Washington Richmond
highway.
Quoting DR.. Hugo Eckener as saying
Hybla Valley is ideal from meteoro-
logical standpoint for the proposed
transatlantic Zeppelin base, Solomon
advised the city and county officials
that its development Is matter of
International concern that should be
undertaken by the Federal Govern
ment.
Too Big for Alexandria.
The project, which will involve the
expenditure of several million dollars
If the site is correctly developed, is
too large to be undertaken by Alexan-
dria or Fairfax County, he stated.
Further development of the site by
the Government as Department of
Commerce experimental and survey
field, base for Navy dirigibles and
as an alternate War Department air
port to Boiling Field was suggested
by Solomon. He pointed out that as
Zeppelin base the large airport would
be in use only several hours a week,
so that other governmental craft could
make use of the field except when Zep-
pelins were taking off or landing.
Solomon was invited by directors
Of the Alexandria Chamber of Com
merce to discuss the possibilities of
development of the site in line with
the recent announcement by DR..
Eckener that Hybla Valley is one of
three sites being considered for the
American terminal of future trans
Atlantic travel.
He strongly opposed any possible
development of Hybla Valley as q
commercial airport for the City of
Washington because of the extra time
its use would add to the present fly
ing time between Washington and
New York.
Train Competition Feared.
To add 20 or 80 minutes, the time
Q passenger would spend in getting
from Hybla Valley to Washington, to
the present 80-minute flying time and
the 1-hour bus time from New York
to the Newark Airport would make
the trip so long that airplane passen-
gers would turn to railway trains,
which will soon have a 312 hour
schedule from Washington to New
York, Solomon declared
In line with Solomon's remarks,
Pierce Reed, chairman of the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors, stated
that the board recently voted to ex-
empt the Hybla Valley site from taxa
tion for period of five years in event
It is developed as a commercial air
port.

tnerce officials. the meeting was at
tended by A. Slater Lamond, vice
mayor of Alexandria.
