THOUSANDS THR0NG PARIS STATION
TO WELCOME BYRD AND COMPANIONS
FRISCO TO AUSTRALIA
MAY Be Prize Flight
Possibility of Extending
Hawaiian Contest Is
Considered

San Francisco. July R-The
feasibility Of extending the project
ed San Francisco Honolulu prize
flight contest to Australia occupied
the attention of the San Francisco
citizens committee today.
Asserting flight to Australia was
the logical step since the successful
hop of Lieutenants Lester J. Matt
land and Albert Hegenberger to Ha-
wall, Milo F. Kent, head of the
committee. has asked his colleagues
to consider such a project in the in
terest of Commercial friendship"
Kent pointed out that a flyer to
Australia might participate in two
contests at the same time-the San
Francisco City contest. which will
provide total prizes of $4,000, and
the James D. Dole prizes of $4,000
for the first two aviators to fly
from the mainland to Honolulu
after August 2.
The committee told Kent to see
what the public thought about the
plan, and then let the contract for
constructing a $500 foot runway at
the municipal airport on a bid Of
$2S.176. The runway will be 200
feet wide, and the supervisors ex-
pect 1t to be finished in three weeks.
Meanwhile the announcement
that Captain William Royle, Of Oak
land, would succeed Edmund ]. Moi
felt, San Francisco real estate deal
er, as manager for Ernest L.
Smiths proposed flight to Honolulu,
frightened Smiths chances of max
ing the flight which he was unable
to make in competition with Matt
land and Hegenberger. Smiths
plane broke when he took off be-
hind the army filters, and when re-
pairs were made, his navigator,
Charles H. Carter. refused to start
on the ground that 1t was too late
in the day for proper observations.
and the army plane, five hours
ahead, had too much start to be
beaten.
