GRAF ZEPPELIN MAKES HISTORY

KEEPS SCHEDULE TO MINUTE OVER OCEAN

BIGGER SUCCESSOR NEARS COMPLETION

BY HOWARD SIEPEN

Unobtrusively, yet with heroic consistency, the Graf Zeppelin has been making for six years a definite and im- portant contribution toward-greater friendship among nations. While headlines have blazed with the doings of heavier-than-air craft on their risky adventurings across the seas, the Graf has been safely piloted by Dr. Hugo Eckener into the position of a regular passenger carrier to South America. To be sure, the ship's history is replete with adventure, but its feats have become so recurrent and without mishap that the element of news is rapidly disappearing from them, The fact that its scheduled crossings of the South Atlantic are noted, if at all, only on the inside pages of newspapers, indicates the status of regularity, as contrasted with novelty, won by Dr. Eck- ener for his ship.

In terms of lying hours, can- verted into days, the Graf has spent about four and a half monthe over the waters of the North and South Atlantic and Pacific Occups. It has made 54 ocean crossings and has circled over four of the five continenta. It has pushed its silver nose far north over the ley wastes of the arctic regions and flown for 30 hours on end through dense fox, hus weathered heavy storms skirted typhoons, passed. through tropical rains and the dense smoke of forest frea in Asin.
