NONSTOP OCEAN HOP
 SUCCEEDS ONLY ONCE
But Atlantic Has Been Slammed Eight Times in Inter- rupted Flights.

New York. May 20 (UP)-Only once has nonstop airplane spanned the Atlantic. although the crossing has been made eight times in all by dirigibles and airplanes which have interrupted their jour- neys.
 In June, 1919, Captain John AL cock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown flew from Newfoundland to Ireland 1880 miles. in 16 and e-third hours,
 4 month earlier Harry G. Hawk CT, accompanied by Lieut. Com mander Mackenzie Grieve. attempt ed to fly from St. Johns to Ireland in a biplane but failed. They were picked up by the Danish steam- ship Mary approximately $50 miles from the Irish coast.
 Also in 1919 the United States navy plane NC-4. commanded by Lieut.. Commander Albert c. Read. flew across the Atlantic, with a stop at the Azores. A month after the Alcock flight the British dirigi- ble R-34, commanded by Major G. H. Scott, flew from Scotland to Long Island and also made the re- turn trip safely.
 The American "'round- world fiiers' crossed the Atlantic in their plane by way of Greenland in 1924. The Zeppelin R-3. now known as the Los Angeles. flew from Ger many to New Jersey in the same year.
 Commander Ramon Franco. Spanish aviator. flew across the Atlantic in 1926 from Spain to Ar gentina, but made two stops en route.

French Press Expresses Admiration for His Courage - Ambassador Herrick Planning Recep- ti0n-Weather Outlook on Other Side Is En- couraging.

Paris, May 20 Rl-All the air beacons from the coast to Paris have been ordered lighted tomor- TOW to show Captain Lindbergh his way to the French capital.
 The worlds greatest searchlight, atop Mount Valerian, just outside Paris, will flash a beam that on a clear night is visible for approxi- mately 200 miles.
 Planning Welcome.
 The American Ambassador, Myr- ton T. Herrick, was informed by the Associated Press of Lindbergh's start eight minutes after the flier rose from Roosevelt Field. Mr.. Herrick is calling together various persons interested in organizing a fitting welcome for the lone avia- tor.
 Weather Looks Good.
 Reasonably fair weather is pre- dicted for Lindbergh when he ar- rives over France. There may be some fog, says the weather bureau in a general report, but the proba- bilities are that he will meet with q slight northwest wind-regarded as most favora ble, with general fine weather.
 According to reports reaching the weather office from ships at sea and the other side of the Atlantic, the only unfavorable spot is a de- pression over the Gulf of St. Law renee. High pressure areas. known technically as "anti-cyclones, ex- tend over the Atlantic as far as Ireland.
 The aviator should not go too far north, for low pressure will prevail during the morning in the region directly south of Greenland and southwest of Iceland.
 His Audacity Launded.
 The young Americans hop is characterized by the afternoon Par is papers as "a most audacious at tempt. The fact that he is navi- gating by composing, sitting in an enclosed cockpit, evokes as onish- nent, and all the commentators ex- press admiration for his courage.

SINCLAIR JAILED,
 ALSO FINED Sl00
Multi.MlGonaire Oil Operator
 Gets Three Months Term
MORE APPEALS EXPECTED
Penalty is for Refusing to Answer Senate Inquiry-Lawycrs Will Take Case to Highest Court, They Say.

Washington, May 20.-JP)- Harry Ford Sinclair, multi million aire oil operator and sportsman, to- day was sentenced to serve three months in a common jair' and to pay 2 fine of $500 for refusing to answer questions of the Senate Tea Pot Dome committee in 1924. Sinclair. 52-year-old self-made man, was indicted in March 1924, on an indictment charging contempt of the senate, and convicted by a jury in District of Columbia supreme court here April 16. this year.
 Justice William Hitz imposed the sentence.
 Sinclair's attorneys are expected to appeal to the circuit court of ap- peals and thence, if unsuccessful, to the U. S. Supreme court, and such action would delay the start of his sentence for months or even years.
 Both Are Mandatory.
 Jail and fine sentences were both mandatory, the law specifying im- pFlSoHlllenL rom one to 1Z months and fine of $10O to S1,000.
 Sinclair's attorneys gave notice af appeal. His $5,000 bail was con- tinued.
 Sinclair himself, dapper in a gray business suit with silk handkerchief in the upper pocket, a brown overa coat over one arm and a brown felt hat and Malacca cane in the other hand, stood up and faced Judge Hitz.
 Have you anything to say?" asked the court.
 T have not" said the oil mag nate.
 Sentence was then imposed.

In On Schedule

Reported over Meteghan, Nova Scotia, at 1925 o'clock Atlantic time. the transatlantic fiier had success. fully passed over two hundred miles of sea that lies between Massachu. setts and Novav Scotia where his course on the great Arctic circle would then carry him to Newfound- land. Lone Slim" was apparently on his flight schedule.
 Weather Is Improving
 The early part of his journey over land and sea was made in shifting fogs and mists. Reports from New foundland and Nova Scotia stated that weather conditions were clear ing while over the broad jump of the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland high pressure was causing ideal conditions for flying. Engine Possibly Skipping The plane when seen off Halifax, Mass, was headed northeast on the course selected by the flying fool" in his attempt to gain the Orteig prize of $25,000, and one observer reported that the planes motor was skipping. Residents said the mono plane, flying low. bore the insignia NX-211 the number of the Ryan airplane. Thirty-five minutes before a big monoplane had been sighted passing over East Greenwich. Rhode Island. flying at the rate of one hundred miles an hour.
 Army air corps experts said that Charles A. Lindbergh's plane was equipped with a motor which often gave the impression that it was missing" This was caused. they said, by the character of the design, which sometimes allowed the explo- sion of one cylinder to muffle tho sound Of another.
 Flies Through Fog.
 Lindbergh flew through screen- ing fogs and mist during the first few hours of his flight. Fairly good weather conditions are reported by the weather bureau after he passes the Grand Banks that lie southeast of the coast of Newfoundland. Cape Race, Newfoundland, reported fog this morning. Flying conditions along the southwest coast of Nova Scotia were fine.
 Government vessels and steam- ships are watching for the intrepid American but are not expected to sight him until he swings his air. plane off the coast of Newfound. land.

Some Wondcrment Shown

Mineola, N. Y, May 20 R-Con- siderable surprise was expressed on the flying fields today because of the paucity of reports on the pro- gress of Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis."
 Flying men said that because of his heavy load Lindbergh would be forced to fly not higher than 2,O00 feet during the first hours of his flight and would probably stay at about 1.500 feet. And at 2,o00 feet, they said, the engine should be plainly audible from the ground, even it mist hid it from sight.
 If he followed the course he in tended to-" one flying man said, many persons ought to have sight ed him or at least heard his motor by now. I don't understand it."
