Shoemaker's Connec ton with Aviation Dates Back
 Early Air Corps Days

Almost twenty years of keeping airplanes so they will go up in the air and stay there until the pilot wants to come down lay behind Donald Shoemaker, new service and maintenance man for the Marine Always. when he arrived in Juneau from Seattle yesterday aboard the compar.y's Fairchild plane with Pi- lot Chet Mclean.
 Mir. Shoemaker made his ac- quaintancme with airplanes in the U. s. Army Air Corps, in 1919. AS Staff Sergeant in the Air Corps, he nursed mechanical birds in all parts of the United States and even in the Philippine Islands until 1926, when he left the military branch of flying to become associated with the Robinson Aircraft Company, of St. Louis, one of the nations pion- ger air mail contractors, for which Charles Lindberg was at that time chief pilot, preparing for his spec ial flight across the Atlantic. Oth- CT noted airmen who were then flying the mail from St. Louis to Chicago for Major Robinson and his brothers, ownersof the company were Slim Love and Nellie Nelson, MT. Shoemaker disclosed today, as he unfolded the story of his con- nection with airplanes while work ing over a carburetor in the Mar inc shop.
 From 1928 to 1880, MT. Shoemaker was with the Spartan Aircraft Com pany, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, tuning up new planes and holding a match ing eye over the IS training ships at that company's field there.
 Moving out to the Pacific Coast in 1930. MT. Shoemaker remained at Los Angeles for six years, being associated there with the North American Company. builders of Northrup planes, and with Howard Hughes. While working for Hughes he had a hand in preparing the ship in whicl. that famous flyer set his record of seven hours and twenty eight minutes from Los Angeles across the country to New York.
 In February of this year, Mr. Shoemaker transferred his activities to San Francisco, where he joined the staff of the Stearman- Ham, mond Company, which was at that time working with the U. s. De- partment of Commerce on the de- velopment Of the "foolproof' Ham, mond plane.
 Now. MT Shoemaker has suc- cufnbed to the lure of far places again. When offered an opportun- ity to come north, he was unable to overpower the urge, so is now in Juneau. ready to take hand in Alaskan aviation.

 LAKEHURST, New Jersey, May 8.-In secret inquiries, taciturn of- ficials and experts sought from a score of witnesses the key to the mystery of the majestic zeppelin Hindenourg's flaming destruction here last Thursday evening in which 30 of those aboard perished and 6f survived.
 A public investigation of the trag- edy begins on Monday, but officials strove meanwhile to correlate evi- dence that may ultimately estab- fish cause for the disaster.
 The Navy Department convened 6 Court os Inquiry today. The Court is headed by Capt. Gordon Haynes Commander of Naval Ammunitions Department at Fort Mifflin.
 The Department of Commerce has also arranged for hearings.
 All bodies of German victims will be returned to Germany as soon as possible.
