ZR-3 PILOT SAYS
HE IS OUT OF JOB
Chicago, Nov. 3.—Dr. Hugo Eck
ener, who, with three of his staff
officers, brought the ZR-3 to Amer
ica, said here today that he is, in
a sense, <» out of a job,” since the
Zeppelin plant is to be dismantled
under the peace treaty.
He said he did not know what
his future would be.
Dr. Eckener said he had wanted
to bring a ship to America by way
of Asia and the Pacific, but that
would have required a ship of
140,000 cubic meters, twice as
large as the ZR-3.
He and his officers are guests of
prominent citizens and of the Ger
man club.
