WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-British interests soon will begin a trans-At- lantic dirigible mail and passenger service with American governmental cooperation. The dirigible R-1000, now under construction in England, will make her first trip across within three months, using as her American terminal the naval air station moor- ing mast at Lakehurst, N. J. Details of the plan were announced by Secretary Hoover, who held con- ferences with British representatives here. Other conferences will be held with the postoffice department with a view to giving the R-100 a special mail contract at a premium postage rate, such as the land air mail serv- ices are accorded. Americans will be invited to join the enterprise, Mr. Hoover said, if the trial trips of the first dirigible are successful. In that event a number of additional air cruisers will be built. The R-100 is designed to carry 100 passengers and 10 tons of mail. Its tentative schedule calls for a western trip of 48 hours and a return requir- ing 38 hours. C. Dennis Burney, member of the British parliament, is representing the English sponsors of the project in conferences with officials here. He has been advised by the aeronautic section of the commerce department that it will apply to the dirigible only the treatment given foreign ships in American harbors, which means that British regulations and supervision with respect to the liner's safety and design would be accepted by this gov- ernment.
