FILLING STATION
BIGGEST DIRIGIBLE
IS A YEAR'S TASK
j _
HAS GAS CAPACITY NEARLY
TWICE THAT OF THE
GRAF ZEPPELIN
AMARILLO, Tex., April 22, (A1)
—Manufacture of helium to in
flate the world’s largest air cruis
er, the “Akron,” nearing comple
tion at Akron, O., Is under way
at the government’s $2,000,000
plant near Amerillo.
Storage units at Akron and
Lakehurst, N. J., are being filled
rapidly, and by the time the big
ship is floated, probably next
month or possibly June, enough
helium will be available to inflate
it to capacity. There will also be
a reserve supply sufficient to take
care of any losses through leakage
in the new gas bags.
The “Akron’s” capacity of 6,500
000 cubic feet will require more
than two-thirds of the 9,000,000
cubic feet of helium ordered by
! the government to supply both the
army and navy for the fiscal
year ending June 30.
Its capacity is almost three
times that of the Los Angeles,
the largest dirigible in use by the
United States, and nearly twice
that of the famous German ship,
the Graf Zeppelin.
Anticipating bigger demands on
the local plant, with the navy’s
new cruiser in the air, officials
of the helium division are pre
prepared for increased produc
tion.

| All previous records at the polls
'were excelled in Klawock at the
recent election, held April 7, ac
cording to information sent to
The Gateway in the last mail, and
the campaign was exceptionally
keen for the mayorship. The

ceding the election, the outcome
of which led to the creation of
three tickets, each led by R. J.
Peratrovich, Frank Johnon, Frank
Peratrovich.
Campaign spirit prevailed strong
ly for all sides up to the casting
of the last vote. Each party felt
they had the winnng ticket, but
[Mayor Frank Peratrovich was re
elected for his fifth term. He
stated plainly in his campaign
speech that this will be his last
term and introduced Frank James,
who he will support for mayor at
the next election.
Frank Peratrovich’s ticket won
by a six to one vote over R. J.
Peratrovich’s, and three to one
over Frank Johnson’s.
The spirit shown at the election
and the manner in which it was
conducted, contradicts the state
ment often made that the natives
are not yet ready for full citizen
