Dr. Hugo Eckener, director of the Zepplin - Co., announced Tuesc that the DZ-137, now under construc- tion here, will ¢ s the Atlantic be- tween Germany and the United States “several times” and will then, some time in 1928, attempt the cir- cumnavigation of the globe. ‘The great jour: v, he estimate: require 300 hour It will nec itate the erection of two anchor masts, one in Asiasic Russia near the Pacific coast and the other in the Western United States or Canada, to be used in addition to the Lakehurst, N. J., anchorage. Permission to use the facilities at Lakehurst, Dr. IEckener said, had already been obtained. While complimenting Clarence Cham- berlin_and Charles Levine on their flight from New York to Germany and welcoming it as intensi g public confidence in aerial navigation, Dr. Eckener still thinks airships are more practicable than airplanes for trans- oceanic commercial aviation, “The airship,” he said, “especially on flights covering big distances. of- fers much_greater comfort and con- venience than the airplane and also guarantees greater safety of opr tion. The most important factor in its favor is the fact that from an cco- nomic and business viewpoint the ship is superior to the airplane, since, in addition to fuel, it can carry a large numbcr of passengers and great quan- tities of freight and mail.” WILL ASK IMP will MPROVEMENT OF CHEVY CHASE CIRCLE Citizens’ Association Wants Park- ing to Conform to Beauty of Surrounding Territory.
