At 7.13 the Graf was pulled to the ground and preparations were made for immediate disembarkation of the passengers. As the ship was being pulled down the first of those on board to be recognized from the ground was Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Rosendahl of the United States navy who had made the entire trip around the world and who lean- ed from a cabin window to wave a gray scarf. The world journey of approximate- ly 20,000 miles was stopped only at Friedrichshafen, Germany, Tokio, Japan and Los Angeles, Calif, was completed in slightly more than 21 days elapsed time. The actual flying time was less than 12 days. On its world's flight the Graf set a new record for circling the world the previous record made in 1928 by John Henry Mears and C. B. D. Collyer having been 23 days, 15 hours and 21 minutes. They used aeroplanes over land and steamers a- cross the Atlantic and Pacific. In nosing down to the ground pre- paratory to dropping its ropes the Graf overshot the waiting ground crew and 450 sailors and marines nad to run helter-skelter across the field to catch up with and swing themsel- ves upon .the trailing ropes. The great ship was then brought to earth as gently as a child might pull down a toy balloon, As weather conditions were ideal for berthing the ship it was decided to walk her into the hangar at once before discharging the passengers with sailors and marines tugging at ropes attached to both sides and with others clinging to the railing about the cabin and motor gondolas, the Graf moved gently across the field and nosed gracefully into the hang- ar. On completion of his world flight today, commander Hugo Eckener an- nounced he would not return to Friedrichshafen with the Graf Zeppe- lin. The Graf will sail Saturday eve- ning, he said, with Captain Ernst Lehmann in command. Commander Eckener will spend about 12 days in the United States before returning to Germany he said, and will visit Wa- shington and Akron, Ohio.

On a report of Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, foreign secretary of Great Britain, the political com- mittee today decided that evacuu- tion of the Rhineland must be be- gun at once. That is must be ter- minated as far as concerns the Bel- gians and British and the second French zone within three months after adoption of the Young Plan and that the last zone of occupa- tion, the bridgehead of Mainz, must be cleared of foreign troops before the end of June, 1930. This decision fell a little short of German desires. The Germaus held out long and strongly for ear- lier liberation of the occupied ter- ritory. They wanted to be able to celebrate complete evacuation by Christmas, but it was contended by the French that it would be physi- cally impossible to get all Frencn troops away so quickly. Beginning of evacuation of that zone, however, will begin as soon as the French and German partia- ments have ratified the Young Plan and is to be hastened in every way possible. ° Specifically the French are given eight months in which to accomplish the withdrawal. This decision of the political commttee will become effective on- ly in the event that there is an agreement here on the financial as- pects of the Young Plan. Unless the Germans accept a compromise sat- isfactory to the French respecting payment of the cost of occupation after Sept. 1, the agreement will not be binding and the negotiations third floor Aap artment.
