Aviation U. S. POSITION STRONG FOR AIRSHIP RULE Purdue Science Dean Cites Embargo on Helium. • BY DR. R. A. MOORE Dean of Science. Purdue University (Written for the United Press) LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 19.—Dr. Hugo Eckener, who has so successfully brought the Graf Zeppelin across the Atlantic, states that he is interested in getting $14,000,000 of American capital for the purpose of constructing four airships and operating them between Germany and the United States. It is not necessary for American capital to go to Germany for either the building or operation of airships. - A contract has just been let by the Navy with the Goodyear company for the construction of two airships nearly twice the size of the Graf Zeppelin. In addition capitalists in the east have been interested for a number of years in construction and operation of airships and such a line would have been in operation by this time had it not been for the fa- • tal accident of the Shenandoah, which gave the “heavier-than-air” men an opportunity to influence public opinion adversely. An airship company controlled in Germany, even though it is financed by American money, would not be able to use helium, as there is a United 6tates embargo on helium at the present time. Any airship company using hydrogen rups a serious risk which would not be the case of noninfiamable helium were used. The United States possesses the only large supplies of this gas, and therefore any airship company financed by American capital should be or .rated from this country in order that this gas may be available. National defense also makes it imperative hat ownership and control of such a line should be in America. Fly to St. Louis Frank Dunn, pilot, and P. D. C. Ball, flying a Ryan brougham, landed at Indianapolis airport Thursday en route from Cleveland to St. Louis. Flies on Sales Trip Harold C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SLACK TO CURB , CIVILSERVICE Mayor Opposes Portion of Committee Plans. Doubt as to whether the proposed civil service system will extend beyond the police and fire , departments was expressed today by Mayor L. Ert Slack. , Slack said the civil service committee which he named two weeks ago had not begun to formulate the regulations which council unanimously demanded be established in city departments. “I think I’ll check over the rules of the Duvall administration and indicate the provisions which I am opposed to. This will give the committee something to start on,” the mayor said. Deputy Controller A. B. Good, City Attorney Edward H. Knight, And Councilman John F. White compose the mayor’s committee which he named following discussion of the merit system at a cabinet session. The council recommended a uniform system for appointment and promotion of city employes, but Slack said he is opposed to a regulation which prevents department heads from promoting or firing employes. The mayor expressed resentment over council’s recommendation that the administration not have a “free hand’’ in selection and promotion of employes. .
