We endeavored to couch our council proposal in decent language in accordance with the facts.

Hlndenburg Moored to Mast at 5.10 a. Skirts Long Island, Cruises Over New York Returns Monday-Night with Full Load. LAKEHURST, N. May 9 (IP). The Hlndenburg, newest and largest of the Zeppelins, completed its first across the north Atlantic today record time for lighter -than-air craft.

The giant ship was moored at the naval air base here at 5.10 a. m. Eastern Standard time 61 hours and 53 minutes after it left its home port of Frledrichshaften, Germany. Following the shipping lane across the north Atlantic, the Hlndenburg did not pass over American land until It skirted Long Island, followed Ambrose channel into New York harbor and cruised over New York city. It was sighted over New York at 4 a.

Just as dawn weus lighting the sky. Thousands of early risers cheered, and ships tied down their whistles. After cruising over Manhattan for 18 minutes, the 803-foot ship circled south directly for Lakehurst. The red and black of a large Nazi Swastika wa visible on the vertical fin aft. A dozen or more airplanes circled far above.

As the nose of the Zeppelin dipped for the ground, the moon was still in the sky, and a brilliant red sun was Just coming up on the eastern horizon. At 5.10 a. the Hindenburg for the first time touched soil in the United States on the fir of its 10 scheduled round trip commercial voyages from Germany during the summer. Civilians Join Landing Crew. A landing crew of trained sailors am the United Staten navy, aided by aut 50 civilians, brought the ship safely to land.

The civilians were pressed into service because soldier reinforcements from Camp Dix were not on hand when the ship arrived. The Hindenburg circled over the air station before it settled to the earth, dumped its water ballast, and threw out its ropes. Its speed was so greatly reduced that as it olowly None Heard Shot, Sheriff Reports Body Found Beside Railroad Tracks Investigators Discount Suicide Bullet Fired at Short Range. MONTPELIER. May 9 (jP).

Authorities sought today the gun which took the life of Leonard Gabree, 30, Central Vermont railroad employe. Because Gabrees body was taut and not limp, Dr. C. H. Burr, health officer here, and Sheriff Henry C.

Lawson said they believed the man was slain. Had the body been limp, they contended, it might have indicated suicide. Gabree was found dead Thursday night beside railroad tracks at Montpelier Junction. He was shot through the heart by a .35 calibre revolver, Lawson said, and Dr. Charles F.

Whitney asserted his autopsy showed the shot was fired at close range. An earlier search for the gun proved unsuccessful. Lawson said he had checked Gabrees whereabouts until a few minutes before his death but had been unable to find anyone who heard a shot. Dr. Whitney said that Gabree might have lived 10 minutes after he was shot.

This fact led officers to suspect at first that the man had thrown the gun away after he shot himself. However, scores of searchers have covered all the area into which Gabree could have thrown the gun and have not found the weapon. Sheriff Lawson learned that Gabree was last seen alive by Edward Grenier at about 7.20 oclock, an hour before he was found dead. Grenier was sitting on his porch when Gabree passed. Although, according to the sheriff, Grenier continued to sit on his porch for some time after the man passed, he did not hear the report of a gun.

Investigators learned that Thursa-day was Gabrees day off duty and that he had spent it in the city; walking the streets and in beer parlors. He is known to have become involved in one argument in a beer parlor, but no signicance was attached to it. He was alone when he left the city at about 6.30 oclock. Members of the Grenier family told Sheriff Lawson that Gabree was staggering from intoxication when they saw him. Gabree, according to relatives, did not own any guns and had not been known to borrow any in past years.

This fact, Sheriff Lawson said, would tend to strengthen the theory that the man was murdered. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

MILK DEALERS ASK 2-CENT REDUCTION Declare Cut in Boston Price Necessary at Concord, N. Hearing-Producers Disagree. CONCORD. N. May 9 dairy officials carried to Washington today New England milk dealers recommendations to lop two cents a quart from the producers price.

The AAA will study the recommendations made yesterday at a hearing to consider amendments to the greater Boston federal milk marketing agreement, before making any changes. The reduction was necessary, the dealers asserted, because of the "unfair advantage gained by some dealers who refused to adhere to the marketing agreement. Despite claims by dealers that the situation was so desperate an immediate price cut was necessary, producers urged retention of the present scale, at least until disposition on May 22 of the governments suit to force 28 Massachusetts dealers to comply with the order. The AAAs method of figuring parity rates was challenged by Dr. E.

H. Bancroft of Barre, president of the New England Dairies. Asserting the method was based wholly on the price of class 1 milk. Dr. Bancroft declared the farmers condition rested on the price received for all milk.
