ROME, Italy, June 6.-Although dis.
appointed at the decision of Cham.
berlin and Levine to fly to Germany
instead of to Italy, the people of Rome
today hailed with unstinted en-
thusiasm the achievement of spanning
the Atlantic from New York for the
second time in little more than a
fortnight.
(. The newspapers almost invariably
refer to the Bellanca plane Column
bia, used in the fight, as mag.
nificent product of. Italian genius"
this being a reference to the ma
tionality of Giuseppe BelIanca, builder
Of the plane, who was born in Sicily.
Because of conflicting reports, the
crowds which had waited all night for
the arrival of the Columbia did not
abandon hope until afternoon that
the plane was flying toward Rome.
The newspapers received thousands of
calls for information, and groups of
enthusiasts waited near the bulletin
boards, despite recurrent showers.
A report at 3 o'clock this morning
that the plane was heading for Rome
sent rush of several hundred auto.
mobiles to the Ciampino Air Field,
where a large throng had already
gathered. Special editions of the news
papers were snapped up by the scores

and the engine" he said. "And the
thought that more Americans were
willing to risk their lives in the ad-
vancement of aviation naturally will
be received as fine and heroic thing"
He added that the longer distance
covered by the Columbia than by
Capt. Lindbergh emphasized how the
air is being conquered, and predicted
that the future will bring additional
valuable tests and accomplishments
to demonstrate how man can make
the aerial method Of transportation
feasible in every way.

mail between New York and Germany,

FLYERS PARENTS
RELIEVED BY NEWS

Mother Stay Up All Night.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., June ga flash Of
joy-the dispatch telling of Clarence
Chamberlin's landing at Eisleben in
his Bellanca monoplane Columbia
broke a long spell of anxious waiting
in the Associated Press Office here for
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. c. Chamberlin, his
parents.
Both were outwardly affected by the
relief of their sons safe arrival on
record nonstop flight. They had
been there since early yesterday MORN
ing, eagerly scanning the reports COM
ing over the automatic printer.
Thank goodness he's landed" ex-
claimed the anxious mother.
"Where is Eisleben?' Mr.. Chamber
lin, trembling, asked. He could hardly
restrain himself. A map was con-
suited.
Sends News to Daughter.
'My goodness it's 10 miles off from
Berlin" he shouted. The next move
was to call Mrs. Max Moffitt of Deni-
son. Iowa, their daughter. She was in
bed, but Mr.. Chamberlin talked to a
man in a restaurant there.
Spread the news will your" the
father asked. "They tell me Ethel
V10 uduSHIClJ Is Ill UGu. 1dli USE up
and give the news to everybody"
The several hours of intensity had
visibly affected the flyers parents,
after word had been received that they
might have been lost in the heavy
rains near Berlin.
Asked if he was sorry that his son
had not reached Berlin, Mr.. Chamber
lin said:
"Oh. don't know, it's a record non-
stop flight and that's what they were
after. You must remember that they
set no definite objective"
Mother Sends Cablegram.
Mrs. Chamberlin sent cablegram
to Berlin at midnight central standard
time. 1t reached there before her son.
"Chamberlin, Berlin, Germany. Love
and congratulations. Mother" was
the message.
Mrs. Chamberlin was reluctant at
first to send the message for fear
they wouldn't know where to get
Clarence, because he has no address"
She was assured, however, that
"Chamberlin. Berlin, Germany" was
enough.

man. "Chang Tso-Lin's only quarrel
is against the Communists, and he
now believes that Chang Kai-Shek
represents the real Kuomintang.
The spokesman stated that the North
ern alliance was considering continu-
ing it's withdrawal of troops north of
the Yellow River, establishing new
military headquarters at Paotingfu, in
the Province of Chilli, Is miles south
of Picking, and the withdrawal of the
Shantung and Manchurian troops to
Tsangchow, so miles south of Tientsin.
A thin defense line, however, would
be maintained on the north bank OF
the Yellow River.
Would Prove Sincerity.
This possible withdrawal Of the
Northern troops, the spokesman
declared, was aimed to convince Gen.
Chang Kai-Shek and Gov. Yen Hsi-
Shan that the proposals of the
Northern alliance were sincere.
1t also was declared by the spokes-
man that the Russians at Hankow, of
whom Michael Borodin, adviser to the
Hankow Nationalist government, is
one, would be expelled in the event Of
the success of the peace overtures.
1t is believed by foreign observers
that in the background of this appar-
emily responsible move for peace is the
determination of the leading civilian
Chinese powers to establish the au-
thority Of the civil government over
the military leaders and to obtain
peace and prosperity throughout
China.
Crisis Called Political"
Explaining Chang Tso-Lin's initia-
tive, the Northern spokesman said:
THE marshal believed that the mill
tary crisis was becoming political, a
successful solution depending upon
Chang Kai-Shek's decision regarding
the proffered alliance"
The spokesman expressed belief
that Chang Kai-Shek would accept.
Communications reaching Chang Tso-
Lin indicate that Gen. Hsi-Shan.
the third member of the projected
combination, has decided to join the
Kuomintang, thereby allying himself
with the Southern conservatives.

Thank God for that" she said,
I'm so happy that they're safe and
over land"
She said she would not have '1et

band planned to make the flight.
I'm proud Of him, but I didn't think
it was necessary for him to take the
chance" she said. NOW that he's
done it, I can breathe easier"
Mrs. Levine's cable to her husband
was sent in care of American Am
bassador Jacob Gould Schurman in
Berlin. 1t read:
