Wives Sail To Join
Husband Fliers In
Germany

NEW YORK, June Mrs.
Clarence D. Chamberlin and
Mrs. Charles A. Levine sailed
from Hoboken early today upon
the German liner Berlin as
guests of the German govern
ment to greet their husbands.
They were given one of the
greatest farewell ovations Ho-
boken has ever known. A
crowd of more than 5000
gathered around the pier. Their.
cabins were filled with flowers
and Uttered with messages of
congratulation.
AS the Berlin drew out from
her pier, craft in the harbor
gave ear-splitting blasts from
their sirens.

COttbus Pays Tribute
To Fliers at Fete,
With Talks and Gifts

COTTBUS, Germany, June t.
The Bellanca plane, Columbia, took
the air again today. continuing it's
flight from New York to Berlin.
The plane, which was forced
down here yesterday suffering q
broken propeller, hoped off at
A:16 this afternoon for Berlin, with
clarence Chamberlin and Charles
IA, Levine, who made the flight
across the Atlantic in the plane,
guiding its course.
Four mechanics and three engi-
heers worked all night fitting a new
propeller to the Bellanca, to re-
place the one broken yesterday
when the Columbia came to earth
In unfavorable landing circum.
stances. Four propellers which were
sent out were unsuitable, but even
tually one sent from Tegel, near
Berlin, proved acceptable.
In order to speed the departure
of Chamberlin and Levine, the
mechanics of Lufthansa filled the
gasoline tanks, much to the re-
gret of Chamberlin, for in so do
ang the German mechanics removed
the seals from the tanks, making
technical confirmation Of gasoline
used in the flight impossible.
Chamberlin and Levine came
down to breakfast today, looking
quite different men from the two
tired and weary fliers who went
off to bed last night while Cottbus
celebrated their flight.
When they awakened this morn
ing they found their needs in the
way of new clothing had beer
supplied during the night by Local
merchants. Levine refused to 40
cept any gifts, and insisted thai
he pay for everything he used.
