NEW YORK. June 1S.--Weather
conditions and his friendship for
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh are the
two factors determining the hour
when Comdr. Richard E. Byrd
famous North Pole flier. win hop
off in the Fokker monoplane,
America" for Europe.
Unfavorable weather over the
transatlantic flight route for the
next three days is forecast by the
Weather Bureau.
It was also regarded as unlikely
that Byrd would start without
having an opportunity to say good
by to "Lindy," his friend.
Byrd was expected today from
winchester, Va. where he was
given an honorary degree by the
Virginia Military Institute.
Byrd has not announced the ex-
act itinerary of his transatlantic
flight.
The first flight viii end at Paris
but it is understood that the scope
Of the flight will be wider than at
first planned.
The plane is ready to start within
an hour. All that remains to be
done is filling OF the fuel tanks and
the placing of supplies aboard.
Byrd was quoted today as saying
that the next great aeronautical
feat ahead is a nonstop trip around
the world.
