The airship arrived over the air
port here at 1:16 a. m., today hav
ing first visited San Francisco,
where it first flew over the North
American mainland at 6:02 p. m.
yesterday. Waiting for better light,
the Zeppelin cruised over eostal
southern California, until 5:11 a.
m.. at which time it gently settled
down to earth, where it was moor
ed. The hour of 11 o'clock tonight
was set for the time of departure.
This gave the passengers and crew
ample time to rest from the four
day Journey from Kasumigaura
and assured a cooler ride over the
more arid portion of the south
w?sfc desert.
The dirigible was to fly by way

Continent to be Crossed
In Two Days' Tim
The Graf Zeppelin was expect
ed to reach Lakehurst in about 48
hours from Los Angeles, and if it
does, it will bring to the air liner's
personnel the distinction of mak
ing the shortest circiut of the
globe ever made by man. The act
ual flying time from Lakehurst
and back again would be about
12 days. The total elapsed time
would be about 22. The ship start
ed from Lakehurst last Aug. 7.
The flight from Kasumigaura to
Los Angeles was regarded by many
of the passengers as not only the
most thrilling section of the globe
eirdllne adventure, but as prob
ablv the most sensational flight
ever made. The distance from the
Japanese airport to Los Angeles
was approximately 5,800 miles.
This Is the longest over water
night ever made and tho first
non-stop flight that has entirely
spanned the Pacific. It also was
fraught with considerable peril,
as storms at sea beset the craft at
times, requiring all the skill of
the commander. Dr. Hugo Ecke

Ship at Frisco
Fair weather and a pleasant
scene greeted the Zeppelin when
it nosed through the Golden
Gate at 13an Francisco at sunset
last night. Roofs were covered
with eager witnesses of tho aerial
triumph and the radio man on
the ship described the picture as
grossartig" (magnificent.)
The longest portion of the Jour
ney was from Friedrichshafen to
Kasumigaura, G.8S0 miles, mostly
over Siberian steppes. This portion'
of tho trip waa reported as un
eventful. The) only mishap so far
was slight damage to rear motor
at Kasumigaura, which was re
paired without difficulty.
When the sky monarch arrived
here, Dr. Eckener was taken, ill
to a hotel. He was reported later
to be improved and in no danger.
The other notables aboard were
anxious to get their land legs
again, and made no lengthy state
ments. They were all enthusiastic,
however, and used such words as
"marvelous," "wonderful," and
"magnificent" to describe their ex
perience. Japan ud America
"Four nationalities spent four
days In the heavens together on
the way from Japan to America,"
said Commander Kusaka of the
Japanese navy, one vf the passen

world and makes Japan truly a
neighbor of the United States."
The 771 foot dirigible brought
62 persons here from Japan. Of

Difference in Policies Is
Seen as Reason For Row
Occuring in City Council
Back of the surface squabble which has existed during
August between Mayor T. A. Livesley and one firmly en
trenched wing of the council, lies a fundamental difference in
city policy which has outcropped in the removal of the three
bridge engineers from their jobs, effective August 31, 1929.
According to Mayor LivesieyO'
the motive of the wing of the
council opposing him hat been
spiteful and vindicative with the
view of hampering and opposing
his bridge program.
According to the wing of the
council which succeeded in remov
ing the engineers by resolution
August S and whose action was
approved by a 9 to 5 vote at coun
cil meetings Monday night, the1
opposition to continuing tho en
gineers rests ia none of the mo
tives attributed to the opposition
by the mayor.
Rather this group of council
men declare their purpose to be
this: The program for which
1350.000 bonds voted by Salem
in 1127 tor bridge construction
has been virtually completed.
Thirteen bridges including every
one discussed by citizens when the
bond issue was athorized have
been erected. The program Is
completed.
According to this group, further
construction Is unauthorized by
the people and not needed. To
order the bridge engineers dis
missed means calling a halt to ex
pense, unjustified and unnecessa-J
ry. W. W. Rosebraugh, leader
in the council'3 demand that fur
ther bridge expenditure be halted,
has shown that the expreesed pur
pose of the people of Salem in the
election of 1927 was the construc
tion of certain specific, necessary
bridges.
In th 13 now built every im
mediate need for bridge costruc
tion has been met. To add further
bridges to the present program
would be to exceed the wishes of
the voters who authorized a bond
issue of J350.00 Ofor bridge con
struction. Mayor Livesley and the five
councilmen who supported him In
the fight on the retention or dis
missal of the bridge engineers
have held consistently that the en
tire 1350,00 should be spent irre
spective whether or not the ob
jective bridges set before the peo
ple in 1927 when the bonds were
voted, had been accomplished.
Councilmen opposing Mayor
Livesley cite other reasons for
halting bridge building in Salem.
Not only have the bridges been
built for which the bridge- bonds
were authorized, but selling addi
tional bonds and continuing the
program will be extremely expen
sive at the present time.
The bond market Is low now,
these councilmen point out, and
additional bonds must bear a
heavy discounting. Furthermore,
construction proposed by the may
or would have been carried on
during the winter months and
costs would have been nnduly
high. A fourth reason against
further construction and the
most important of all in the minds
of the councilmen attacking addi
tional bridges is the fact that the
bridges are not needed. Alder
men Rosebraugh and Purvine,
along with other members of the
nine men on the council who voted
against the mayor Monday, are of
the fixed opinion based on inves
tigation, that additional bridges
in Sale mwill not be needed for at
least five years. To build bridges
now Is to charge the public inter
est on an investment for a five
year period before the investment
is warranted.
stop-over point for them tonight
enroute to the national races.
Lee Schoenhair of Los Angeles
roared across the finish line at
5:25 p. m., completing in 13
hours and 50 minutes a non-stop
flight from Los Angeles where he
took off this morning as the first
entry in the Los Angeles to Cleve
land non-stop air derby. His av
erage speed was calcuated at 160
miles an hour.
While the crowds waited the ar
rivals of the various racers, they
were kept thrilled by stunts and
manuevers of other pilots. The
piercing whine of diving planes,
the deafening roar of squadrons In
battle trials made the airport a
din throughout the day.
There was some anxiety felt
when Ruth Elder failed to finish
the women's air derby on schedul
ed time. She finally landed sev
eral hours late, reporting she had
lost her way and gone to Akron,
where she obtained fuel and her
bearings.
Philadelphia Aviator
Flies 149 miles per Hoar
Major John S. Owens of Phila
delphia, flying with the Pennsyl
vania National Guards, provided
an additional thrill by winning the
80 mile race for military planes.
He maintained an average speed
of 143.07 miles an hour to cover
the course in 30 minutes, 43.0 sec
onds. Major Owens also won the
regular National Guard air race
Sunday.
Police were nnable to hold back
the crowds when the women's der
by ended. Thousands swarmed the
field to acclaim the pilots as they
landed.
Among ths distinguished vic
tors were Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh who flew in last night
for the remainder of the races.
They are guests of Parmlee Her-
rlck, son at the late ambassador
to France. The colonel evidenced
keen pleasure throughout the pro
gram, especially when the army
and navy air squadron were ex
ecuting their maneuvers.
Two dirigibles from the Good
year rubber company took part la
the program.
Victory In the women's air der
by carried with It a grand prize of
$8,000 and other prizes tor win
ning the "various laps which will
make tho total to be distributed
about $35,000. Mrs. Thaden win
receive the major share.
The first prise of $1,000 went to
Pilot Lewis Love tor hit victory
In the all-Ohio air races. Sec
ond prize was $500 and third prize
was $75.
The mayor's position has been
that the money Is available for
bridges and therefore should be
spent at onee. While the North
Commercial street bridge has been
authorised by action of the coun
cil it now appears doubtful it U
will be completed. Ousting of
the engineers effectively holds up
plans for the bridge, which whUe
called for more than two months
ago have never been produced by
the city engineers. With the coun
cil la its present tram eot mind.
there appears little probability
that the 125.000 needed for this
bridge wiU be spent.
Additional bridges at least one
of which was wanted by Mayor
Livesley at once Include the 25th
bridge at an estimated cost of $10,
of $10,000; the South 21st street
street bridge at an estimated cost
000; the North 18th street bridge
at an estimated cost of $5,000 and
the Chemeketa street bridge at an
estimated cost of $8,000.
The Liberty street bridge, which
was to be the last bridge built an
der the $350,000 bond issue, will
cost about $100,000 including the
expenditures for tills and for
street improvements leading to
the bridge. The actual expendi
ture on the bridge alone will ex
ceed $82,000.
The position of the councilmen
opposed to the mayor at Monday
night's meeting, succinctly stated
is this: The bridges which the
public understood were to be built
and authorized, are finished.
The total cost of tho construe
tion win run between $310,000
few more thousand dollars in bond
and $320,000. Merely because a
moneys are available is no reason
they should -be spent because no
more bridges are immediately
needed. Because they are not war
ranted and because construction.
even If the bridges were import-
ants, would be expensive during
the winter season and revenues
would be shrunk by low prices for
bonds. It is improper for the city
to continue a bridge building pro
gram beyond that authorized by
the public.
The removal of the bridge engl
neers Is thus a logical step; the
Job la over, the work has been
finished and further retention of a
highly paid staff of men is no
longer justified.
This is the position of the groun
of nine men who have opposed
me mayor and with success, with
out denying his leadership in
bringing to accomplishment the
bridge program or displaying the
quautr or the work done, the
councilmen voting against the re
tention of the bridge engineers
have demanded and received what
they deemed a justifiable
ing of bridge construction.

That the city government In tne
last four years has spent money
more lavishly than ever before,
was a statement of Alderman Pat-
ton in reply to the mayor.
"I don't want you, Mr. Mayor,
or anybody else to question my
vote on this matter," Mr. Patton
said, pointing out that the mayor
had appointed a fair committee to
investigate. i
The majority report stated that
so far as the committee could de
termine, the records being not
properly segregated, $285,000 has
been paid out ot the bridge fund,
and authorized work and unpaid
bills will take $350,000 more, so
that the $300,000 received from
sale of bonds will be exhausted and
about $20,000 mora needed, with
out starting any more new
bridges. There remains $50,000
of the authorized bonds to be sold.

There 1b also a possibility, the
re-port states, that some refunds
will be made to the bridge fund,
from other funds to which certain
expenditures such as making fills
and purchasing right of way,
should be charged. This may
amount to $15,000 or $16,000.
The bridge committee proposes,
according to the report, to build
the North Commercial street
bridge at a cost of $25,000 or more
and one or two other bridges to
be determined later. None of
these bridges were on the original
program, it was explained later
Mention was made that the
South Liberty street bridge will

The minority report stated that
