Senator Copeland praised the work

ator. He also encouraged the mem.
bers of the profession to honor and
dignity their profession and have the
people understand that they are not

are installed In the landing gear
we will be ready to fly to Vienna. -
Chamberlin and Levine will hop
OFT at o'clock Sunday morning for
Vienna, stopping for a few hours
en- route, at Munich. They are due
in Vienna at $50 in the afternoon.
1t is possible that the airmen NAV
visit Rome and maybe Budapest
before their return next week to
greet their wives, who are due to
reach this city on June is.
Many fresh honors are In store
for Chamberlin and his flying COM
panion before they set out to Swing
round the European circle in the
Columbia on Sunday.
They will be made honorary citi-
zens OF Berlin by the Municipal
Council and 1t is likely that streets
will be named after them.
One newspaper has suggested that
the German Admiralty place a
cruiser at their disposal for the trip
home If they decide against flying.
1t is unlikely. however, that this
suggestion will be carried into
effect, owing to information from
Washington that the United States
Government probably will offer a
warship for the voyage to America.
The length of the Americans stay
in Europe is problematical. Cham
berlin is anxious to study European
commercial aviation at first hand
and Levine does not seem in any
rush to get back to New York. In
view of these circumstances their
visit may last beyond a fortnight.

STAMPS
BRING $3.50

The much-talked-of ."air mail"
carried by Charles A. Levine on
his transatlantic flight with Clar-
ence d. Chamberlin. belonged to
A. G. Roessler, q New Jersey stamp
dealer. it was learned today.
The letters were mailed by Roess-
Ter to Levine at Curtiss Field,
Roessler, in a letter to The Times,
says he sold all the letters in ad-
vance at $3.50 each. He paid
Levine $1,000. he says, to carry the
letters to Germany. After reaching
his destination, the flyer was sup
posed to mail the letters to the
American consul in Berlin.
The Postoffice Department has no
intention of prosecuting Levine for
his part in the matter, Postmaster
General New said today. "The
whole affair was highly irregular, -
he said, but probably not illegal.
And furthermore, / do net propose
to give Levine any more free ad.
vertising."
Roessler holds that inasmuch an
the letters were properly mailed
and properly delivered, they became
Levine's personal property irnme.
diately after he received them.
Postal officials concur in this
opinion.
Roessler says the value of the
letters today is probably about $50
each.
