The third leg of the sky cruise around the world .completed in this mooring to ihp 60-foot stub mast htre marked I6.8S0 miles since d parture from Lakehurst, N. J., Au gust 7. The first non-stop air flight across the Pacific ocean, achh-ved in three days and seven hours, was loss than one-third the time the fastest trans-Pacific liners cross the ocean between Japan and Seattle. Wash.- Sixty persons made the voyngo, 41 in the crew and 11 passengers. The final leg of the circumnaviga tlon voyage will he to Lukehurst, some 2,600 mlk's, and will be start ed within 36 or 48 hours. During the stny in Los AngeU-s it will be moored to the mast. Troops of the California National riuard marched out on the field ah the Zeppelin came to earth and the ground orew began moving it toward the mooring mast. These troops formed a circle around the sky cruiser fls the mooring was he-' I Ing completed. It came to a halt about a mile from the mooring mast as the full ground crew of marines and blue jackets mhde ready to carry it over to the mast. Pliliifs Circle Zep. Six naval planes circled over head as the big silvery ship came to earth. The planes appeared as tiny birds hovering over the vast hulk of the 771-foot globe-circling ship. At 5:23 a. m. the Zeppelin be gan to move slowly towards the mooring mast, carried by th.' American marines and bluejackets. The assembled multitude was awed into silence by the Impres sive spectacle of the great silver craft majestically going through the operations of landing and mooring. The nose of the newest trans Pacific liner touched the moor ing mast at ":3." a. m- Dr. Hugo Kckener, comma nd-r of ih Graf ZnppHin. who was seriously ill for two days of th trip from Tokyo, was rushed by motor to a downtown hotel. Ar rangements had bei-il made to issue a statement, but a writ ten state ment he had prepared last night was lost as the wind tore it from his hand as he leaned from 1 he control room gondola north of Santa liarhnra. He was highly enthusiastic over the success of the trip and con vinced that It thus far has dem onstrated the eornnierciii I feasibil ity of lighter t ban air t ranspo-t In ocean commerce. It was Indi cated by those with whom he talk ed during the last hours of t he trip. Sir Hubert Wilkins said. "It was pleasant to take this Ir p for p'eusure. and he free from respon sibility. However the globe tour has proved to us the value of metei ologteal forecast. Itefore air lines ca n be opera ted success fully we must have greater co- i operation among weather ex perls, i and reports from many more fields. I congraiulate Dr. Hugo Kckener on the success of hi night. We have seen many inter esting points of the globe from an unusual point of view.

(A3) The CJraf Zeppelin, 771-foot airship itpou which the eyes of the world are focused was being girded today for the last lup in an around the world air cruise after having just made the first non-stop air flight acrosd the 1'uclflc. Arriving at dawn, three and a quarter 'days from Japan, the great dirigihle expected to leave before midnight 'for Lakehiirst, N. J. This would have it fly over Cleveland, Heat of the national air races, if weather permits a comse via Kl Paso, Kansas City, SL Ijouis, Chicago and Celevehuid. The ground and refueling crews worked at top speed without a hitch and were confident of hav ing the ship prepared to take ofl' nt 8 o'clock. The order of depar ture, however, wan for 11 o'clock. Nineteen passengers. thrilled with the most spectacular air ride in the history of air transport, were enthusiastic to ride on to the completion of circumnavigation of the globe. A symposium of their comments would make a Btring of superlatives, "magnificent." "In spiring," "marvelous," ' 'vonderful.' Passengers Enthuse The passengers seemed to he In perfect accord with the thought that the day of llghter-than-alr trans-oceaiiic commerce had ar rived. The Graf Zeppelin experienced a wide variety of climatic conditions on its 16,880 mile Journey thus far. These conditions, passengers re vealed, indicated the necessity for development of more adequate meteorological stations throughout International air lanes. Dr. Hugo Kckener, despite two days of serious Illness, due to food poisoning shortly after the sky cruiser left Japan, piloted the dirig ible into such favorable wind chan nels, changing course to meet ad vantageous winds, that lie crossed the Pacific In less than 68 hours. His actual time from Kastiml gtirua takeoff to Loss Angeless landing was 78 hours and 58 min utes, hut from the time of touch ing the California coast at o'clock last night to mooring at r::t."i this morning, the great ship loafed and dilfted through Southern California skies.

Original plans were for a take off Home .:, to 4X hours after ar rival. Hut as soon as Dr. Kckener conferred with oltlcials at the port Instructions were issued to refuel at top speed and have, the craft ready to shove off ut 11 p. m. Zeppelin company officials an nounced the sky liner expected to make (lie transcontinental trip to Lakehurst, N. J., In 4K hours.
