Ureani i\o More, (Jeean Airship Lines IN early Keady
Dr. Eckanar
Approval by President Roosevelt of plans for the
construction of a new $0,000,000 airship for trans
oceanic service, and the progress of Germany
toward the inauguration of a world wide Zeppelin
route bring closer to realization the dream of reg
utar operating air lines across the great bodies of
water. Germany now is constructing a new hanger
for the European terminal of the world lint at
Frankfurt-am-Main, and at Friedrichshafcn the
new giant LZ-129 Is rapidly nearing completion. I
WASHINGTON, — Transoceanic
lirshlp service, which has been pre
dicted and talked about lor so long
;hat the average citizen Is begin
ning to believe It a saga with the
possibilities of a flight to the moon,
ifi coming out of its dream stages,
leaded straight for actuality.
Germany, the pioneer and long a
eaders In Zeppelin navigation, has
;ompleted plans to amplify its
present service to South America.
It intends to extend Its -dirigible
tervice, not only to North America,
put Into a world-wide Zeppelin
lne.
And the United States, still main
lining a sincere belief in llghter
han-air craft despite the Ill-luck of
.he Akron and Shenandoah ships,
s carrying on negotiations for the
nauguratlon of a regular airship
lne between this country and Eu
■ope.
President Approves
The recent approval by President
Roosevelt of a plan for construct
ing a giant, dirigible, larger than
Lhe IiZ-129 now nearing completion J
In Germany, for transatlantic aery- ;
Ice, Indicates a favorable attitude
of the nation toward the proposed
ocean air lines.
This new ship, to cost approxi
mately $5,000,000, will be built by
the government. Then It will be
leased to a private operating com
pany which agrees to form an In
ternational cori>oratlon with the
German Zeppelin companies Inaug- |
uration of the transoceanic lines
will be in the hands of the Inter- 1,
national corporation.
The European terminal of the |
proposed world dirigible line will be
it Frankfurt-am-Main, on the:
level floor of the Rhine valley In j
Lhe direction of Heidelberg. Work ,
sf constructing the terminal al
ready has started, and la expected
to be finished by 1936,
Friedrlchshafen, heretofore tha
center of All German airship ac-t
lvlty and the home of the famous
3raf Zeppelin has been ruled out1
is a terminal for the world line. Its
mly use In the future will be for
,hc construction of new ships,
lias Faults
Aviation experts, who have been
studying sites for the location of
in airship terminal since the World !
var, decided against Frledrlchahaf
m because of It three serious faults
3ne Is that It Is too far from the
treat European cities nnd the chief
rgffic lanes of the continent. Sec
>ndly, It Is too loggy for safe air
ravel In winter months, and
hirdly, It la surrounded by moun-1
ain ranges that provide a serious
•tsk during bad weather.
Frankfurt-am-Main is centrally
ituated for European airplane traf
ic. It Is generally free from fog.
md aside from that, the Rhine
valley affords an Increased air
jressure that will enable Zeppellna
to curry extra tonnage.
As h. remit of ttic experience with |
the line to South America, Germnn
authorities are convinced world
airship service will br u profitable
venture. Dr Hugo Eekencr, the
worlds lending airship authority,
believes that, ships as large ax the
new I.Z-121), which will surpass the
U. 8. 8 Macon In greatness, sliould
br- used on the line.
Dr. Eekencr, skipper of the Clint
Zeppelin, has revealed that each
trip of that, giant dirigible to South
America costs about 125,(XX) marks.
The average of 50 passengers a trip
pay 75,000 marks, and revenue from
mall and express freight, shipments, I
brings an added 70.000 marks. Thus,
the Ornf earns^ibout 15,000 marks
a trip, or about 800.000 marks for
the 40 trips each year.
Idke the United States govern
ment, the Reich Is deeply Interest
ed In Hie proposed world line. The
Retch Is expected to Invest about
3.000,000 marks In ttie suggested
operating company, which will have
a starting capital of between •.* i
000.000 and 10.000,000 marks.
White his Interest, In transoceanic 1
Airship service Is high. Unde Sam's
proposal for the construction of a
new dirigible is bnly.a part of a
permanent national aviation pol
icy. The policy, which goes before
congress soon for ratification, also
provides for a gradual Increase In
flying ■'rsonnel and equipment In
both U e army and navy, and the
creation of a new federal aviation
commission which woiild have con
trol over civil aviation.
The new airship for the ocean
servlre. however, ts the feature of
the program. With Its construction
and Germany's Important progress,
flying to Europe and elsewhere on
the globe In the next few years will
become a living dream.
