His Polar Flight

Paris, July 9 tP) - Commander Richard E. Byrd is planning to start on his proposed south pole flight before the end of the year,
 The man who flew over the north pole and now aspires to eX- plore the south polar regions from the air. announced his plans in a speech to aviation writers of the French newspapers last night. and to their great delight devoted most of his remarks to a sort of lecture on his projected exploratory flight.
 We plan to start before the end of the year" he declared, going steamer to the center of operations on the great ice field which is 4nO miles long. Our first task will be 70 csta blish a series of Eskimo dog posts at intervals Of 100 miles, and next 10 form airplane bases at every goo miles We will use two planes. one with q single motor and one with three motors"
 Would Fly High
 He said that to reach the south pole, it probably would be ncces- sary 10 fly at height of 4,h00 feet, and the winds would make flying difficult and hazardous. But the difficulties stimulated his imagina- ton because of the results he hoped to obtain. Describing the larty, hc said it would consist Of between 40 and 50 mon. among them experts in the various branches of science.

He says he things Levine might have chosen a pilot from the large num- Der of efficient men only too willing to go, without taking the man who has been training for his own trans atlantic flight
 Doubt of Success
 There is some division Of opinion among French tliers and airplane experts regarding whether Drouhin will succeed in flying the plane to New York. and the newspaper In Transigeant quotes Chamberlin. as doubting whether on westward flight the machine could get fur ther than Newfoundland, because of contrary winds which are certain to be encountered.
 Commandant Weiss of the I.e Bourget field has rendered his con- gratulations to Drouhin with an ex- pression of confidence that he will succeed.
 Back in France
 The Columbia was resting on French soil again today, after flight across the English channel 10 Croydon. England. and preparations were under way to put the craft in tip-top shape for the return flight 10 America which Charles A. Levine hopes 10 start within a fortnight.
 Clarence D. Chamberl.' pilot of the transatlantic journey from New York to Germany, flew .he Columbia across the channel to England yes terday with Drouhin at his side. eager to absorb the knowledge which Chamberlin imparted to him about the pecuiarities of the craft. Levine was passenger. Al the Croydon air drome, which is just outside London. Chambcrlin and Levine parted com pany, and Drouhin pilot ei the plane back 10 the Le Bourget ar field.
 Drouhin satisfied
 Drouhin said he was satisfied with the plane.
 Soon after Chamberlin landed at Croydon, to the cheers O thousands of spectators, he was in the embrace of his grayhaired mother, who had not seen him in seven years. Her eyes filled with tears and she kissed her aviator son. the moving picture mo rllinnc Sta arin tho a nv scene.
 Still Are Friendly
 Later Chamberlin took the oppor- tunity to tell newspapermen that while he had disagreed with Mir. Le- vine over linking his name with il challenge 10 Commander Byrd for competitive Atlantic flight, we still are the best of friends He cited as proof of friendship the fact that he had agreed to accompany MT.

 "I have finished my joo" he add ed. which was to prove that transatlantic flight could be ac- complished in an ordinary machine. The Columbia is d stock I ,ane which can be bought anywhere for S12,o0o. To provide a machine capable Of carrying passengers across the ocean would involve an expenditure Of S100, 900. We couldn't t.ud anyone sufficiently wealthy to back such an enterprise.
