able to take off during the morn
ing.
Lieutenant Maitland's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. J. W. Maitland. Of Rurl-
ingame, Calf, were on the field to
witness the take off. To them went
the final hand wave from the pilot
as the plane started rolling along the
runway. Neither the father nor the
mother would discuss their sons
venture after the plane departed,
Smith displayed signs of nervbus-
ness when it was announced the alti-
meter installed in his plane would
not function correctly. His father
led him away and, as they conversed
in low tones, the parent patted his
son on the shoulder assuringly.
Just before the take-off Lieuten-
ant Hcgenberger asked Bradley
Jones, army navigation expert from
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, to tcle-
graph Mrs. Hegenberger at her Bos-
ton home, sending best wishes and
assuring her that the weather over
the Pacific was reported fine.

ARMY Is STRICTLY ON
IT'S OWN In FLIGHT

Washington, June 28.-@ The
army is ION its own" in the Hawaiian
flight.
No special aid has been asked Of
the navy or the shipping board, as
has been the case in past aviation
attempts involving the covering Of
thousands of miles of ocean waters.
Ships at sea are expected to re-
port the progress of the plane, but
there have been no orders for the
formation of ship lines to guarantee
safety in the event of forced land
ing.
The army's explanation of this is
that there will be no forced land
ing. Preparations for the flight have
been secret. but very thorough, and
it's successful outcome and the func-
tioning of the navigation instru-
mcnts aboard are expected to be a
major factor in the development of
transoceanic airplane travel.
Regarding the flight purely as
scientific test, without the thrills of
the Lindbcrgh adventure, the army
air corps today had not ever set up
q system to obtain information from
its two flyers, depending largely on
casual reports from ships at sea or
from other sources.
