Hinted by Leigh Wade
and Linton Wells.
BY United Press Leased Wire

ROOSEVELT FIELD, y. y,
June .3.-Thc Bellanca airPlane
Columbia is ready to attempt a non
stop flight to Europe, mechanics at
the Columbia Aircraft Company 8
hangar here said today.
They refused to confirm reports
that an attempt would be made to
start the flight tonight, however,
Officials of the company could not
be reached.
Increased activity around ne
hangar substantiated reports that
the flight would start tonight or
early tomorrow.
Clarence Chamberlin, pilot of the
plane, was advised by the weather
bureau last night that although
storm was then over the Atlantic
and another was expected to devel-
op Sunday night, a calm period sat
isfactory for flying probably would
come between the disturbances.
Chamberlin obtained permission
of Roosevelt field authorities to-
day to use the long runaway there
any time after clock this aft
ernoon for a full-load takeoff. The
runaway was used by Lindbergh
when he left for Paris.
Chamberlin will be accompanied
on the flight by pilot-navigator
whose name will be announced lat
or, it is understood. He is said to
be a former navy pilot.
A representative of Charles lie
vine, president of the Columbia
company, said the plans depended
ON the weather and certain other
contingencies, which were not spe.
Gifted.
He refused to verify the report
that Berlin was to be the destina
tion of the flight.
Plans for another ambitious
flight were also discussed today.
Linton Wells and Leigh Wade, two
of the aviators who flew during the
trip around the world several wears
ago, announced they We're planning
a 10 day flight around the globe,
to start late in July. They said
they had not selected their plane
and they refused to name their
hackers.
The flight would start in New
York and the first leg would be a
non stop flight to San Francisco, it
was understood.
In addition to Wells and Wade,
the plane was expected to carry IA
combined radio operator and navi-
gator and q mechanic, neither of
whom had been selected.
Linton Wells, mentioned in the
above dispatch, is former editor
of the Imperial Valley Press, hav-
ing served in that capacity about
10 years ago. He was here two
years ago with Lieutenant Leigh
Wade of the round-the-world flyers,
when Wade made nonstop auto
run from Los Angeles to New York.
