NEW YORK, June 4.-Charles A.
Levine, co-pilot with Clarence d.
Chamberlin, on the Columbia mono
plane flight to Europe, made his will
and took every step a man ordinar-
lily takes before going on an ocean
voyage" his attorney Samuel Hart
man said tonight.
In letter left with Hartman for
Hartman's perusal after the flight.
the attorney was told to get rea DIV
to meet me on the other side"
This will no doubt surprise you, !"
the missive said, but we will make
the flight. When we get to Italv
I'll cable you the first thing and we
will dine with Mussolini."
The letter, left just before Levine
jumped into the plane, gave Hart
man final instructions as how to
conduct his affairs in Levine's alb
sence, Hartman said. Some of the
instructions were of a personal ma
ture, but, according to Hartman, the
flight hacker did not forget a num-
Der of charities to which he has con-
tributed thousands of dollars"
my instructions" said the attor-
ney, were to continue them irres-
pective of the outcome of the flight"
The attorney added that Mr.. Le-
vine had been quietly going about
making preparations for the flight,
particularly since the arrangements
affecting Mrs. Chamberlin fell
through.

ROME IS PREPARING

By the Associated Press
ROME June 4.-Although no Off
cial word has been received by the
aviation authorities in Rome that the
Bellanca plane Columbia may make
this city it's destination on its trans
Atlantic flight. the Italian authorities
took steps to receive the American
Sibility was received.
The first Intimation that the Co
!umbia might head for Rome VT
given to official quarters by the ~r-
sociated Press. wheI eupUn TIE au-
thorties issued orders to prepare
Centocelle Camp. which is the largest
in Rome. for the possible arrival of
the plane.
Searchlights Tested.
All searchlights were carefully
tested in order to have them in per-
feet order for possible use tomorrow
night. The regular night service will
I've doubled and a squadron of italian
airplaneS will be kept in readiness
to meet the American plane as soon
as it's passage over Italian territory
should be signaled.
Despite the vagueness of the exact
destina ton of the American plane, a
great number of persons have made
inquiries at the ministry of aero
nautics and at the airdrome at Cento-
celle to learn the approximate hour
that the Columbia might arrive.
Designer Is Italian.
Excitement over the news. which in
any case would be intense, has been
rendered even greater by the fact
that Giuseppe Bellanca, designer of
the plane. Is an Italian. If the plane
should successfully fly from New
York to Rome the feat would be con-
sidered here as the greatest aeronaut-
ical achievement thus far accom-
p,ished.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press, who visited Centocelle found
great activity there in response to
orders from Rome to keep everything
in readiness for the Columbia's posi-.
BILE arrival tomorrow.
The landing field at Centocelle Is a
vast expanse of perfectly fiat land
having as background the green AL
ban hills spotted with villages rising
in the bluest kind of sky. On one
side of the field are ancient Roman
aqueducts, and on the other are the
famous tombs of ancient Romans
thanking the Appian way.

WEATHER FAVORS
BELLANCA FLIGHT
Ideal Conditions Prevail, With
Helping Winds, Navy Hydrog-
raphers Report.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Navy photographers, studying the
progress made on the Chamberlin-
Levine fight. reported late yesterday
that the two airmen should encounter
even more favorable weather over the
Atlantic than did Capt. Charles A.
Lindbergh..
On either the great circle or modified
great circle route, they said, ideal
weather prevailed. with the probability
that the huge plane would be aided
by favorable winds Of II to % miles
velocity.
The photographers estimated that,
unless forced down, the Columbia
should reach Berlin, if that city
proves to be it's destination, about
5:45 pm. tomorrow, Eastern standard
time, or about Sunday midnight Berlin
time. If the plane goes to Rome, they
figured it should arrive there at about
9:45 pm. tomorrow, Eastern standard,
or 3:45 am. Monday, Rome time.
Distances of Routes.
The great circle route to Rome prob
York to Berlin is $3.50 miles and the
modified route 40 miles farther Rome,
miles from New York.
If the Bellanca plane heads for Ber-
lin it was figured by the hydrograph-
ers that it probably would come
within sight of Ireland at London
derry or Millinhead. and then would
pass over Newcastle, England and
Bremen Haven, Germany.
The great circler cute to Rome prob
ably would take the plane across the
French coast between st. Nazaire
and Earl Kincaid, said good weather

Rome Route Crosses Lanes.
The modified great circle route 10
Berlin would not take the s.viato1s
across the North Atlantic trade lane
until approximately 100 miles :"om
the Irish Coast. The great circle to
Rome, on the other hand, crosses
steamer lanes on the last third of the
distance across the Atlantic.
So far as the open Atlantic is con-
cerned, the photographers report,
prepared by Lieut.. Logan c. Ramsey
arm Earl Kincaid. said good weather
should be encountered by Chamoerlin
and Levine on either the Berlin or
Rome routes, although conditions on
the latter probably would be superior.
Some squally weather might be en-
countered. it added, off Scotland On
the Berlin route. with rain and
squally weather likely for the land
ing at Berlin. On this route, how
ever. the aviators, it was figured,
would be aided by more favorable
stern winds over the Atlantic than
on the route to Rome.

SHIPS TO REPORT
IF PLANE IS SEEN
Navy and Coast Guard Ready
to Co-operte-0rders to
MerChnt Craft.

All Washington paused in it's task
of preparing tor Capt. Charles A.
Lindbergh's reception here Saturday to
follow eagerly the news of the prog
ress of the Wright Bellanca mono
plane Columbia as it winged it's
way up the Atlantic Coast for New
foundland and thence out into the
silence of the ocean.
immediately after word ape that
the Columbia was off on it's fight, the
Navy and Coast Guard began laying
plans to have their ships at sea re-
port it's progress. Radio messages
were sent to all craft along the line of
the fight, including Shipping Board
vessels, to cooperate in reporting the
progress of the ship.
Weather to Be Factor.
Both Army and Navy aeronautical
officials expressed the belief that the
engine, plane and instruments, having
been given a thorough test of more
than 81 hours, should perform with
the clockwork precision of Capt. Lind
bergh's ship. This left the success or
failure of the expedition, in their
opinion, solely up to the weather. as
Chamberlin's flying ability is above
questioning.
With favoring tail winds or still air,
the Columbia should remain in the air
at least As hours for a distance of
about $500 miles, they thought.
Where Capt. Lindbergh obtained &C
curate figures on his fuel consumption
by the transcontinental flight with
only one stop, so did Chamberlin get
valuable information on his record.

Small Dimensions.
The plane is comparatively small in
wing area and length, according to the
recollection of airmen here. who saw

larger types with useful loads. AS air
men here recalled the dimensions of
the ship, it is not as large as the
standard two-seater military Douglas,
Curtiss and DeHavilland observation
planes.
Results Important.
Airmen here emphasized the fact
that if Chamberlin succeeds in reach.
ing even Ireland the practicability of
transatlantic flying in heavier-than-
air craft will have been established
definitely. They recalled that ex.
elusive of the Columbia venture there
have been two successful nonstop
ocean flights and two failures. Capt
Lindbergh's and Capt. John Alcock
and Arthur w. Browns fight in 1919
