AMERICAN AVIATORS SUCCEED IN
 LONGEST JUMP OF WORLD FLIGHT
Three Pliers Combat Fierce Storms in Making Hop Welcomed by Yankee and Jap Sailors at Paramashi- I'll Island.

By The Associated Presa
 Paramashiru Islands kuriles, May 11.-Blaxing a trail through skies never before invaded by an airplane. the three United States army world iiiers reached this ice-fringed remote bay bordering the Arctic this morning, thereby gaining for their country and themselves the distinction of being the first to have crossed the Pacific by air.
 Plunge Through storms
 In negotiating the hazardous hop Of SIS miles from Attu Island. in the Aleutian group, the piolts Lieutenants Smith, Wade and Nelson fought through chill Arctic wines and snow . storms that whipped their faces with lacerating icy grains.
 Two of the planes landed in Kashi- wabara Bay and the third descended to the water off the nearby island of Shimshu.
 Amusement was written on the faces of those aboard an Americap snd a Japanese destroyer waiting here to re- eeive the expedition, as the first of the giant air cruisers vas discerned through the misty clouds to the north.
 On Lookout For Week
 For a week the weather on Para mashiru had been ideal for flying and daily the skies had been scanned for the planes. In ~iew Of the favorable weather reports he had sent to Attu, the commander of the American de- stroyed John D. Ford was puzzled ct their failure to appear.
 Early this morning, with overcast skies, rising winds and falling barometer, warning was sent from the Ford in an effort 10 dissuade the flyers from leaving Attu.
 Then at i1:30 o'clock, the quarter master yelled and everyone rushed on deck. Approaching from the north was the plane Of Lieutenant Smith, the acting commander. On either side be- hind him was another airplsnp.

quests.
