Givon and Corbu hoped off in

returned and circled about over
the airfield, emptying the gas

landing might be effected.
Givon, the pilot, brought the big
plane back to earth at 10 o'clock.
Attempt Cost 5000
The attempt cost $1,000 through
the loss of the gasoline Givon was
forced to throw overheard to make
his landing.
Expressing deep regret that he
had to give up the attempt, Givon
explained that bad weather forced
him to turn back.
The return of the plane brought
great disappointment to the spec

Givon elected to turn back rather
than risk his life and that of his
