May 10 (@—Al- though the “Graf Zeppelin” has weathered many a storm and is no new vessel, it will take off on its first flight to South Ameriac May 18 more perfectlyxequipped than it has ever been before. Not only did the officers and erew. gain invaluable experience in navi- gating and running the airship dur- ing the round-the-world flight of 1929, but this experience has result- ed in a number of improvements. Thus the hodizontal rudder has been enlarged considerably and re- inforced. This means that the diriz- ible can rise or drop much more easily than hitherto. Up to now, if the officers wished to drop from 1.- 500 meters to 300 meters or rise similarly, they had to sacrifice con- siderable gas ballast and the man- euver required time. The test flights of this year have shown that ehanges in altitude can be easily and quick- Iy accomplished with the mew rud- der at the loss of almost no ballast or gas. Nearly Hit Mountain It will be recalicd that the “Graf” nearly ran into a mountain during its illfated attempt in May, 1020, to fiy to America when the engines went wrong and the dirigible #trug- gled through the Rhone valley, vain- trying to get back to Germany 4nd having 1ly to land at Cuers, France. It Eckener's pres- ence of mind in instantly dropping balast that saved the -passenges from certain death. This experience, at the narration of which all par- ticipants in that flight still shudder, probably was the deciding factor in changing the rudder Another decided improvement is the attachment of a second gondela besides that for the passengers. This gondola serving as the central sta- tn for electrical apparatus. The w new zondola contains two auxiliary motors and a dynamo, and supplics the current needed for lighting cooking. and other purposes. Hither- all electric current came from generators which depended for their yield upon the speed of the airship. When the dirigible travelled lowly, the current was insufficient The world fiight has further shown just what part of the outer hull is subjected to special strain. At these points the material has been rein- forced. and the five motors have, of course, been overhauled TARIFF CONFEREES T0 RESUME WORK Rep. Garner Attacks G. 0. P. Actions on Measare Washington, May 10 (’P)—House and senate tariff conferees met to- day to accept a program already mapped out by the republican repre- sentatives of the two chambere The program calls for agreements on the disputed tariff rates, but dis- agreement ¢ highly contested export deben and flexible tariff amendments, with the understandimy they will be returned to the senate for new votes beforc a decision i#® reached The course tentatively adopted hy he republicans is to accept the sen- ate’s 31.50 tariff on soft weod Jum- ber; reject the senate’'s 3% cent an ounce on silver and reject the sen- ate’s provision for free entry of ce- ment for public use. 4 This program was agreed npon yesterday at a meeting of repub- fican conferees from the two houses It was preceded by a similar demo- cratic ¢onference Garner Makes Charges Garner, dem., Texas the conferees, returned to the house and charged the republicans yhad thrown the democrats out and were drafting their own bills. Tater he intimated cans, disturbed by public reaction te the tariff, planning to “ditch” it. Republican leader of the sen- ate Watson denied his party is try- ing to kill the bill. He said if it is killed, others will do it Garner declared the procedure of thes republicans was ‘“outrageous.” He said it was the first time in his tory the minority party had not been allowed to sit in tarift confer- ences. Republicans replied they did net take action aff¥r the democrats left They admitted, however, @iey had agreed not to reveal what they did It was lcarned, nevertheless, that the republicans plan to present their program to the full conference to- day, to adopt formally their agree nients on rates and to report the disagreements on debenture and flexible tariff back to the senate. No Use In Discussion House conferees took the position that there was no use even in dis- cussing these two issues until the senate has voted on them, hecanse ot overwhelming votes against them in the house, and haause of senate conferces’ pledges not to ithout the consent of the ire Tep. one of e republi- were senat The agreement on lumber fied by the and presented 1o the is expected to result in a controversy.
