DIRIGIBLE LINES GET NEW BOOST Atlantic Flights Give Spur to Ocean Route Plan. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, June 17.—The impetus to trans-Oveanic flying furnished by the Lindbergh and Chamberlin flights Is expected to lead soon to anew American movement for trans-Atlantic dirigible lines, In which a group of prominent hankers and business leaders are interested, it was learned here today. This group is the same which negotiated with the Government about two years ago to lease the Los Angeles for commercial purposes. Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, was interested in the venture, which has, however, temporarily upset by the untimely crash of the Shenandoah in an Ohio storm. With confidence in aviation restored, plans are expected to materialize • within the next few months. The group will determine whether it will go ahead on its own initiative, or wait upon Navy experiments with the forthcoming 6,000,000 cubic foot capacity dirigible. Secretary of Commerce Hoover Is expected to advise with the group if it calls upon him. Germany Again in Cup Race BERLIN, June 17.—For the first time since the war Germany Is to be represented in the Gordon Bennett Cup race in the United States this year.

Bad Weather Air Mail Pilot’s Worst Danger

Hard to Keep Fliers Down During Inclemency, Superintendent Says. This is the eighth of a series of articles telling of the heroism and daring or Lindbergh's pals In the airmail service. Succeeding articles will appear daily. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 17.—Bad weather is the bane of the air mail ! pilot’s life—the worst danger he has | to face—yet, it is rare that bad I weather causes a scheduled air-mail trip to be cancelled. Indeed, one of the hardest jobs a divisional superintendent faces is keeping his pilots on the ground when the weather is dangerous “It is a peculiar thing, but it is i true,” reports William B. Robertson, who has the contract for the St. Louis-Chicago division, and who used to be Charles Lindbergh’s boss, “it seems that the worse the weather is the more they want to fly.” Only Airmail Came Through Here is a paragraph from an official report filed by the Cleveland (O.) airmail field superintendent after the Dempsey -Tunney fight last fall. “The weather was bad—real bad —and only the airmail ship took the air. Some of the commercial planes attempted to come through after daylight, but not one has arrived at this writing. We have reports of three wrecked between Philadelphia and Cleveland and do

not know what has become of the others.” Only Airmail Goes Through A dozen commercial planes had been engaged to fly west from Philadelphia with pictures. The weather was so dangerous, however, that they were unable to make it. Only the airmail ship came through—and it came on schedule. The airmail pilots themselves go through all kinds of perils in order to keep their efficient record unstained, and make little mention of escapades that seem hair-raising indeed to the outsider. Report of Mishap Read this report of a mishap that befell Pilot Warren D. Williams, flying the night mail from Cleveland to Chicago. "Apparently one blade of his propeller broke off at the hub with his ship 75 feet off the ground,” says the report. “Eight hundred feet farther on the other blade let go. “Due to excessive vibration the nose of the ship tore away and the pilot, not having any further control, dropped both flares to see the ground. The ship then went into a spin and crashed in the cleared woods. It hit on its nose and left wing, throwing pilot against cowl and instument board. Safety belt fabric was torn, releasing pilot. “Williams was standing by the wing of the ship when relief got to him. Several stitches were taken in his right cheek and minor scratches and bruises doctored. He lost several teeth and several loosened.” Has Peculiar Experience Pilot Kaufman was another who had a peculiar experience with the night mail. He was bound for New

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

York from the west. The report says: “Pilot Kaufman, after leaving Cleveland, pulled up over the clouds and lost his sense of direction until he came out over what he thought was New York and headed south toward New Brunswick, N. J. When his gas ran low he landed not at New Brunswick, but on the outskirts of Wilmington, Del. Then he found that what he had thought to be New York was Philadelphia. He bought some gas and then proceeded to Hardley Field, arriving there five hours late.”
