Clements on reasons for his dis

shown that differences over the
formation of a third political party
were chiefly responsible, but yes

nepotism also was a factor.
DR.. Townsend, he said, objected
because Clements wife, her sister,

Plans For Largest Dirigible Ever
Built Are Being Drawn At Akron
Design Created Just in Case u. S. Government Wants
To Keep Germany From Having Too Great Lead
By EDWARD J. LALLY, JR.
Copyright, 1896. United Press)

AKRON, O., April "a. (UP).-
Plans for a per-dirigible, larger
than Germany's new Hindenburg
and combining all the construc-
ton knowledge learned from the
tragedies of the Akron and the
Macon, are being drawn up by
engineers of the Goodyear-Zeppe-
lin Co., President Paul w. Litch-
field told the United Press last
night in an exclusive interview.
Should the government interest
itself in lighter-than-air craft for
commercial purposes, expressly to
join with Germany in transatlan-
tic service, production could be
started at the Zeppelin dock here
within "a hours.
Litchfeld, 81, has great faith
in the future of the rigid airship,
particularly in trans-oceanic COM
merce.
The super-dirigible would be
the largest lighter-than-air craft
ever built, $50 feet long and 145
feet in diameter. According to
those specifications, it would be
81 feet longer than the linden
burg and rs feet longer than the
Akron, the Inflated dirigible
which preceded the Macon.
It would be built primarily for
commercial purposes but so con-
structed, Litchfield said, that with
in "a hours it could be rugged for
military service as a flying air
base.
II am convinced that the gov
eminent again must support the
movement for lighter = than air
craft if we are to keep step with
other nations" Litchfeld said,
"There is no doubt that it is the
coming mode of transportation
across the seas.
Germany has shown already
that we are falling behind in
transatlantic commercial service.
II will take at least two years for
rs to build one dirigible, so even
should we start now we would be
far behind. Germany has two
ships in South American service
and the Brazilian government has
co-operated by building a hangar
mt Rio de Janeiro."
Iitchfeld, sitting with T. A,
Knowles, Goodyear engineer, an
ticipated a campaign of education
to the potentialities of the dirigi-
HE in transatlantic commerce
when the Hindenburg arrives at
Iakehurst, N. j., in May. The big
German ship, which recently COM
nleted it's maiden flight to South
America, will start its first voy,
| age to the United States from
frankfurt on May 6.
Litchfield said he would go to
Lakehurt to greet DIR. Hugo Ecke-
ner as "an old friend" Eckener,
commander of the famous Graf
Zeppelin and now in the bad
eraces of the Nazi party, is ex-
pected to- be aboard the linden

Men Is Agreed Upon

WASHINGTON, April "a (UP)
June 6 is now most generally
mentioned as a likely adjourn
ment date for congress, following
a White House conference yester
day on Legislative affairs. This
would barely give Republican
members time to get ready for
their party's national convention
opening in Cleveland on June 9
and there is no certainty tax and
relief wrangles won't keep con-
gross in session beyond that date.
The house expects to pass the
new tax bill next week and take
up next the presidents request
for a 1,5OO,O0O,000 appropria-
ton to continue work-relief after
July |. Adjournment depends
largely on how long the senate
takes to act on these two meas
ures, both bitterly opposed by
New Deal critics.
The deficiency bill carrying the
relief appropriation also will in
clude $46O,SO0,OOO asked by Mr..
Roosevelt for expenses of the so.

aiding states to provide old age
pensions, unemployment insurance
and aid to children.
The presidents request for TINS

lions for the CCC and IVA, the

total more than $2,S00,OOO,OOO
