Among foreigners who will attend the conference are two leading figures in European aeronautics: Otto Merkel, di- rector of the Deutsche Luft Hansa, and Dr. A. K. Rohrbach. Merkel heads the largest single air- ways operating concern in the world, the Luft Hansa, maintaining all the German services. Starting operations in April, 1926, it expanded to 75 different lines within a single year. The present total mileage of these lines is 15,000. At -the end of 1927, it had a fleet of 140 planes, 41 being large commercial cat- rlers. Its ships flew approximately 5,755,000 miles during the last year, carrying 102,681 passengers, 141,060 pounds of freight, 1,808,226 pounds of luggage and 1,055,595 pounds of mail. These figures present a progressive in- crease in the services and traffic of the company. And the story of its » growth may be told to the conference by Merkel himself. Luft Hansa's development has been somewhat different from that of com- mereial air companies in other coun- | tries, notably the United States, where | the aggregate mileage flown is only | slightly greater than that of the Ger- man country and the total passengers carried somewhat less. Its services now extend all over the continent, by ar- rangement with other countries. It hag agreements with other concerns so that passengers, Tmalls and freights are in- terchangeable.’ * x THER notables who will attend are Miss Amelia C.
