 The passing of the plane over Ocean Pond. 15. miles southwest of Harbor Grace. was described by a member of the Newfoundland con- 'stabulary.
 Writes of Plane.
 He wrote that William Parsons, who said he heard the plane, told him that it sounded like an explosion of a boiler at first but it soon be- came apparent that it was overhead and the repetition of the sound. all though not regular as in the case of well running motor. indicated that it came from an airplane.
 Such reports serve to keep alive hope here for the missing men and the search goes on relen.lessly.
 Stories from Washington. D. C., indicated that Postmas-c. General New gave little credence to these re- ports because of his experience with the public when Air Mail Pilot Ames disappeared. He pointed out that various persons reported seeing Ames' plane the night le crashed but that searchers working on the basis of these reports were unsuc- cessful and it was shown, when his plane was found. that he had not been within 50 miles of any one of the places where he Was reported seen.

berlin and Lloyd Bertaud might not navigate the monoplane Columbia in its race with Commander Richard E. Byrd's America and Charles Lucky" Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis arose as result of dispute between the two fliers and Charles A. Levine, chief packer of their flight over contract terms.
 Given New Contract
 The discussion was finally settled. however. by substitution of a new contract that indicated complete victory for the aviators. They re- ceived assurance of protection for their wives in case of mishap. and guarantee of all the money rewards. said to total upwards of $100.000. offered If they negotiate the New York-Paris nonstop flight.
 The aviators were said to have signed contract whereby they would surrender 50 per cent of the cash rewards to the Columbia Air craft Corporation, sponsors of the flight. but the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. which has offered sl5,- 000 prize to Bellanca crew If they make the hop successfully. objected to this arrangement. and demanded the aviators receive all monetary rewards in full.
 The aviators also demanded some provisions be made for their wives In case the flight should end in tragedy and in the new contract financial consideration was arranged for them. The amount was not an- nounced

 Bert Acosta yesterday took Byrd's plane up twice. Tests were satis- factory enough to the polar f1ier. and he said he thought he would be ready within two or three days for the ocean hop. Lindbergh. after a single spin. pronounced his craft fit. The Bel lanca plane. due to the controversy. did not go up. A crowd estimated at So.oo0 visited the flying fields during the day.

Urges Cooperation With Police
 in Cemetery Dissertation

Giving formal notice to the par dals in the old Catholic cemetery on Beatty street last Thursday eve- ming, Rev. Matthew J. Traynor. pastor of St. Mary's church. in q statement read at all the masses yesterday morning. expressed sym pathy to the owners of burial lots whose monuments and grave mark CTS were damaged, and requested that everything possible be done to assist the police in bringing to jus tice those responsible for the whole sale damage. The statement gave assurance that the police depart ment has promised to leave nothing undone that might lead to the ap prehenson of the vandals
 Father Traynor made of the incl dent to explain why comparatively little work has been done in the cemetery to improve it's appearance.
 The grounds were improperly laid out in the beginning, he said. and very few parishioners have talk en the trouble of marking the boundaries of the burial lots. How ever. an iron gate has been installed at the Beatty street entrance and an amiesite approach built, in addition to the erection of fence all about the place. Other improvements are contemplated.
 Father Traynor gave notice. in the statement, that in the future, the law prohibiting trespassing on the cemetery grounds will be strict ly enforced Children who have made practice of playing about the cemetery will not be allowed in- side the fence for this purpose hereafter.
 The investigation into the yandal- ism has brought the police no near CT the solution of the case today than they were last week. There ap- pears to be no clue on which to work and nothing has developed to fix the time the wreckage was made except that the caretaker was at the cemetery at 4:30 Thursday after noon and the smashed monuments were found the next forenoon.

Mineola. N. Y, May le LT - Chances of any one of the three Now York to Paris airplanes getting away from Roosevelt field tomorrow seemed remote today. as unfayorable weather showed an obstinacy dis tressing to the flyers. anxious to be away on the long-long trail across the Atlantic.
 Forecaster Starr of the New York weather bureau said shortly after 10 o'clock that conditions today were not bit better than. they had been for the last few days. It was hoped that Wednesday morning would bring the first opportunity to hop.
 Work on the Byrd plane went steadily forward and the three motored craft probably will be ready to start with the two single-motored monoplanes. Chamberlin and Der taud. with an amicable agreement flight, took on new enthusiasm and were camping at the bit, ready to take to the air and leave dull care on the ground.
 Captain Charles Lindbergh, lone horseman of the air, while waiting for the weather to clear in mid Atlantic. looked at reports with dubious eyes. The Missouri flyer goes it alone throughout and he can leave when the spirit and weather reports move him. He has made no predictions of when that will be. contenting himself with the state ment that he will not deliberately fly into bad weather.
 Captain Lindhergh motored into New York today. to obtain passport at the customs house.
 The American Trans s-Oceanic Co.,. sponsors of the Byrd flight. has announced that Commander Byrd and his two colleagues will go "at the right time"
