The proposal was made by Presi- lent Roocevelt's Special Aviation Cumn‘l;\ku) which recommended e used to provide ‘wo commercial airships, one com- mercial air-termi in eastern United States, one “metal-clad” air ship for South American service and a fund for airship research. The Commission urged the gov- ernment to start construction on these ships immediately, declaring that they “could carry most of our first-class transatlantic mail and a substantial ction of the first- pas and express now high o travel on the Graf Zeppelin Cited of airship point to th Graf 2Ze can ¢ the The fastest cr from New Y | quires four days [ minutes ponents d | men | Ger many's y steamship k to Cnerbourg, re- 17 hours and 40 On its first trip to the United ates, in October, 1928, the Graf ppelin carried 60 passengers and ed the 6,100 miles in 112 Rough weather damaged a fin and cut down its speed, but it | was repaired at Lakehurst, N. J., d made the return trip in 71 urs. It is now in its séventh year cf constant service. - In the same month the Graf eppelin arrived in America, con- ts for the construction of the Akron and the Macon were award- ed to the Goodyear-Zeppelin Cor- poration, at a cost of $7,825,000. The Akron fell into the Atlantic off the New Jersey coast in April, 1932, the Macon into the Pacific off the California coast on Febru- ary 12. Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, has been seek- ing the cooperation of the United States government in establishing an airship line between here and Burope. He told the Commission, however, that it would take three years to prepare a crew for such an undertaking. Pan-American Airways has been planning a flying boat service over the Pacific. But the largest air- plane put into transport service so far has only one-fifth the gross carrying capacity of the Graf Zep- pelin and less than half its com- mercial range, the Aviation Com- mission has pointed out. These huge planes, however, have twice the cruising speed of the Graf Zeppelin, which attains only 178 miles an hour at full throttie. The first rigid American airship was the Shenandoah which was fipished at Lakehurst and went into commission on ‘October 10, 1923. It was the first airship of the Zeppelin type to be filled With helium gas, and though successful in the first two years of its trials, it was completely demolished in a windstorm in Noble County, Ohio, on September 3, 1925. Even before the Shenandoah dis- aster, the United States had trou- le with its airships. It purchased from Italy in 1921 a large semi- rigid airship named the Roma, which burst into flames on Febru- ary 21, 1922, when its metal nose came into contact with high ten- sion wires near Hampton Roads, Va.

Scared pink, the two girls pick up a couple of small town aldermen and chisel their way onto a Paris bound ship. Here ag they get mixed up with a millionaire playboy and run afoul of the gangster, piling up love tangles until they reach Paris where the wives of the two alder- men and that of the millionaire pop up to complicate matters in the fastest and most unique and uproarious climax imaginable.
