Bremen Plane Travails Mark Transatlantic Flight
Baron Von Heunefeld blamed the Bremen wreck on lighting failures that hid instruments as the trans Atlantic craft drifted hundreds of miles. He reported about four hundred miles flown in darkness steering the plane from a southwest to a northerly course before it landed on Greenly Island. The aircraft had made good progress after leaving Ireland but struck a blizzard and stormy conditions forced the diversion.

He cautions against government land grabs without just compensation and notes Senate haste. Rep. Reid defends the measure urging passage to prevent future disasters. The plan covers floodworks in the lower Mississippi from Cape Girardeau to the Gulf with no local funding expectations, plus an immediate survey of tributaries and headwater reservoir studies. The aim is to protect lives, property, and interstate commerce as a federal obligation.
