PLIERS ARRIVE
 AT FORT CROOK
44O-Mile Leap From Chi cago Made Without
 Mishap
(By Associated Press.)

OMAHA, Sept. 17.-Another 40 miles of their world encircling flight checked off by the uneventful four and three-quarters hour jump from Chicago to Omaha today, the army world fliers, their planes safely staked out and guarded for the night at the air mail field at Fort Crook, rested tonight, in preparation for the 540-mile jaunt to- morrow, if weather permits, to St. Joseph, Mo-, and Muskogee, Okla.
 :, The six airmen spent the night at a hotel after dining privately. They re tired early to be at the field in time to have their planes ready to depart at g o'clock, central standard time.
 The landing was made at 12 :55 this afternoon, about an hour and half be- fore they were expected. As a result, the crowd at the field was not as large as had been looked for. A brisk tail wind speeded up the flight, Lieutenant Smith explained.
 The roaring "escort'' of nine army planes which took off from Fort Crook shortly after F o'clock to accompany the round the world fliers on the final 50 or 60 miles of today's flight, missed the trio entirely. The escort flew straight east from Fort Crook while the world fliers flew directly from Des .Moines to Omaha about 10 miles north of the field. The three Douglas planes had to pick out the field after reaching Omaha and landed "unannonnced."
 Tomorrow's flying program includes stop of one hour at St. Joseph, 135 miles south of Omaha on the Missouri river, and continuance to .Muskogee, Okla., 325 miles south, after slight deviation ot pass over Kansas City, Mo. The planes will stay at Muskogee overnight and resume the flight to Dal- las, Friday, weather permitting.
