SUPPLY OF HELIUM
GERMAN DESIRE
DR. ECKENER'S PERSUASION
NEW YORK, May 7. Dr. Hugo Eckener arrived from Germany with the object of persuading the United States to allow the shipment of helium to Germany. He hopes to cross the Atlantic in a new airship on August 10, his seventieth birthday. A message from Washington on April 22 stated: The Secretary of the Interior, Mr. H. L. Ickes, states that the United States will not permit a helium shipment of 18,000,000 cubic feet to Germany. He added that the State Department and army and navy experts have established that the sale of such a quantity of gas would constitute a supply of military importance.
