UNIFORM SERVICE ECRENER'S DREAM Hopes for Regalar Passenger Tfluflm New York, Oct. 18.—~UP—Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, hopes that before he sails for home next week his dream of a regular transatlantic air service will e nearer reality. He hopes to intereat American oaplitalists in his plan for four great dirigibles, bigger than the Graf Zep- pelin, running on a 50 hour schedule between Europe and the United Btates. He needs $14,000,000 to fi. nance the undertaking and hopes to obtaln it in this country. He belleves an airport near Washington or Baltimore with the European tegminous in Switzerland would be the mest feasible because of weather conditions, To Comfer Today A conference among himself, offi- cers of the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation of Akron, 0., and others he hopes to interest in the projects ‘was arranged for today at Lakehurst, N. J., where the big Zeppelin is berthed. The conference was to be the first break in the round of social activities through which he and his companions on the ocean flight have been passing. After the conterence Eckener goes to Philadelphia where he and his officers and crew are to be guests of the city at a reception and banquet and then on to Washington Friday for breakfast with President Coolidge and other social activities, Next Tuesday Dr. Eckener ex- pects to start his air tour of the United States in the Grat Zeppelin, It 18 expected repairs of the Zeppe- lin's damaged fin will have been completed by that time as well as the overhauling of her engines and refueling of her storage tanks. Captain E. A. Lehmann, the Zep- pelin's first officer, said the tour would be only a two-day one and that the ship would then return to Lakehurst to take on more fuel and hydrogen for their return trip”to Friedrichskafen. Ford May Ride Newspapers said that Henry Ford might be a passenger on the Zep- pelin as far as Dearborn, Mich, where a stop is planned at the Ford mooring mast. One newspaper said Mr, Ford is to go as the guest of Dr. Eckener while other passengers would be obliged to pay fancy prices, The motor car magnate is to be in East Orange, N. J.,, Saturday for the presentation to Thomas E. Edison of the congressional gold medal. Lieut. Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, of the United States navy dirigible Los Angeles, who was & passenger on the Grat Zeppelin, described the trip to a radio au- dience over WEAI" last night, He told how the big dirigiblé ran into the squall off Bermuda Satur- day morning when her horizontal fin damaged. in came with daylight,” said. “It was just breakfast time when we plunged straight into.a squall. Vertical currents always ac- company these squalls. In an alr- plane they simply mean a sudden thrust upward or a sudden drop. In an airship it is different because it is so much longer. The Graf Zeppe- lin's nose got it first. Up went the bow into the air as if a giant hand had suddenly shoved up out of the sea below. Of course as the nose ‘went up the stern went down. There was a clatter and a crash in the dining room, Dishes went flying. Lady Drummond Hay suddenly found her eggs in her lap—so much of them as were not spattered over her face. Lady Hay, the only wom- an aboard, be it recorded, laughed. 80 did two or three other passen- gers. Their amusement reassured others.” No Amusement There was no amusement in the control cabin, though, and the anx- fety deepened when a lookout re- ported the horizontal fin was dag- aged. The ship slowed down, des- pite the danger of the storm, made repairs and continued on safely, al- though at reduced speed. Regular transattantic travel by airship is not yet at hand, Comman- der Rosendahl believes, but the trail has been blazed. Frederick Gilfallin, an American residing in Lucerne, Switzerland, & pasenger on the Zeppelin, is not go- ing to make the return trip. He sailed last night for Europe aboard the Mauretania. Gilfallin, an invet- erate smoker, found the trip on the Zeppelin a hardship because of the ban on smoking. he IDOL OF TURF FANS Chicago, Oct. 18 (M—A freckled faced youth of 16, Jackey Elmo Shropshire, who wused to gallop horses for his father back on the farm near Lexington, Ky. is _the latest idol of Chicago turf fans. Although still an apprentice, the boy has jockeyed his mounts across the finish line first more than 70 times since March 5. Yesterday, he rode three winners and came in sec- ond in the feature race.
