Extent of United States interest
in the performance of the LZ-130 is demonstrated in the granting of manufactured the use of American hellum to the Zeppelin company. and issuance of a Navy licence for landing of the LZ-130 at the Lake- hurst base on a regular commercial basis. The hellum is being made available through permission of the Board of Munitions Control and will be mined at Amarillo, Texas, by the U. S. Bureau of Mines.
An order for hellum, of which 17,900,000 cubic feet has been al- lotted for the LZ-130 this year, al- ready has been placed with the U.S. Department of Interior
