'.Vi The largest airship ever built,

I flammable hydrogen, was berthed
J today at the I in lied Slates na v.i 1
jalr station alter completing ihe

inflated with non-in flammable
Ihellunt, huddled In the hangar

I Smoking was sternly prohibited,
I and in certain places no one wa i
'allowed except with rubber srded
j shoes lesi so small a thing as a

j The mighty Graf Zepp e I I n.
(which floated up from the Zeppe

iThursday morning with a crew or
,40 men and if passenger list of Hit,
i landed here at a:aS p. m, yesterday
after playing ing . with the ele

Non-Talk Agreement
They were eagerly questioned by
i reporters but their replies were
necessarily limited by an agree
tnent they had been forced to sign
Itlmt they would md talk about the
(flight for publication for eight
(days after landing. This ajvr
;ment was culled for in a contract
between the Zeppelin company ami
an American news syndicate which
purchased the story rights of the
1 flight.
j Ship Is Leased
I Ilecause of the nnws monopoly
j contract and the forced agreement
iof Ihe passetlkers the conversation
jof the air voyagers was limited,
but one Important piece of Infor
mation wan forthcoming. It was
definitely established that the

j carries with It an option to buy

ish company only wants the ship
for use until It enn build nir liners

As th-? Otof .oppelln lay In the
hangar, its sliver flanks rising al
most to the vaulted roof, persons
on Ihe sround could plainly see
the damaged portion, from which
the fabric was torn by the storm
while over mldocean. Prepuru

The Graf Siepprlin arrived as

dusk just four yours to a day after
the arrival of the navy Los Angeles
from the fame starting point.
Crowds had gathered for three

nrrlval.
Yesterday, however, there were
not ninny more than 5')e0 on hand
when a Krny smudge appeared on
the darkening north horizon and
expanded to the proportions of a

with a stupehduoiis majesty. ft
