PLIERS READY TO TRY
 DESPITE THE WEATHER
Sent to Mrs. Grayson Offering to Help Fly Plane Across Atlantic to Copenhagen This Month-Stultz Definitely Withdraws-Craft Re ported in Perfect Condition.

New York, Nov. l LP) - Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson's amphibian plane "The Dawn may yet fly the Atlantic this year and Mrs. Grayson's copilot may be another woman, Thea Rasche of Germany.
 An alternate possibility that Clar- cnce Chamberlin may sit at the con- trols was strengthened today when the Dawn was groomed for a test flight by Chamberlin this afternoon.
 Thea Rasche made public a tele- gram she said she sent Mrs. Gray son at Old Orchard. Me, last Sat urday, offering to act as the planes co-pilot. At that time failure of the plane and dissension among the crew, consisting of Mrs. Grayson, Brice Goldsborough and William Stultz has caused indefinite post poncment of the flight after three starts had been made.
 Telegram Made Public
 "Would you consider" the tele- gram to Mrs, Grayson read, letting me fly your Sikorsky amphibian to Europe with you. Am ready to start right away. Please advise"
 In making the telegram public Miss Easche said she had received no reply 10 it. Mrs. Grayson was reached by telephone at the Forest Hills inn near the Long Island fly ing field and apprised Of Miss Easche's action. She said she had not received the telegram but would be glad to listen to any proposition from any pilot made direct"
 it seems raiher strange to me" she said. that Miss Rasche would give out the telegram to the press before she had heard from me. When she didn't get a reply she could have traced her wire to see if il arrived. l am living here and if sine wants to discuss the matter with me I will be glad to sec her.
 Will Send Copy
 When Miss Rasche learned of Mrs. Graysons reply she said she would send a copy of her telegram to Mrs. Grayson at Forest Hills and would pursue the matter in any way the owner of the Dawn wished.
 While this indirect exchange of messages was going on it was learned that the Dawn was being put in shape for a flight this afternoon and that Chamberlin was to be at the controls. Mrs. Grayson was asked about this development.
 T think very highly Of Clarence Chambcrlin as a flier,' she said. "You know we had a conference in Boston and we are to have another this afternoon I really can't say any more now. l don't want pub licity. l think publicity is what sroilcd my first pilot, Stultz.'
 Answer in Few Days
 Asked If she still had hopes Of crossing the Atlantic this year Mrs. tITdNSOl NbtlI Hid ht llc uSlliii't statement hut intimated that she had in no way surrendered herself as yet 10 the idea of waiting until next spring.
 "Iust because no one ever has made such flight in October she said, docs not mean that it cannot be done. l know now that if my pilot had had the ship properly pre- pared and we had been able 10 go ahead we would have had splendid weather. And all this about Octo- Der flying is equally true of Novem- Der. l think those flying conditions will be repeated this month and if the plane should be ready the flight could be made. But I will be able to say more about this in two or
