Ambition of Many AviatOrs
Has Finally Been AChiev-
ed BY One. ILL.,.

BUENoS AIRES, April l5.-(Corre-
spondcnoe OF The Associated Press.D-
After many fruitless attempts, the Ar.
gentine military flying corps has
achieved its one great ambltion-the
crossing Of the Andes mountains in a
heavier than ar machine Although
the Andes had been crossed by bal.
looms no one ever bad been able TO get
over them with an airpllne, though
many tried, and George Newberry, the
son OF an American, lost his life in the
attempt some years ago.
The successful flight has just been
made by Lieutenant Luis c. Candle.
laria, CT the Argentine army, in a ma.
chine OF eighty horsepower.
Because Of the many failures and
the dangerous air currents, the War
department refused to permit any
more attempts TO be made in the re-
gion rear Mendoza and gave It's con.
sent to Candelaria's flight only on con.
dition that it be made on the thirty.
ninth parallel Of latitude.
The flight was made from Zapala,
Argentina, TO Cunco, Chile. a straight
line distance Of approximately 1l2
miles. The mountain ranges in this
region have an altitude Of 5000 meters
and It is believed that the flight was
made OF a much higher altitude TO per.
MT landing facilities in case OF acct.
dent. The crossing was made in a
part OF the country which has little

outside world and the details OF this
record flight were not expected until
Lieutenant Candelaria returned TO
Buenos Aires to make his report to the
