Paris reports say his take-off was
splendid, but his landing at Croydon,
according to the airdrome staff, was
as near disaster as it could be. These
officials had a bad shock when they
learned that Levine was on the way
and feared trouble. knowing his flying
experience was limited. When he
came over the field and they saw his
hesitating circles before landing, they
rushed an ambulance and fire engine
on the field, fearing a crash would end
the maneuVers.
Capt. Muir, director of the flying
services survey, who watched the ar.
rival, said he was frightened when he
saw how the plane was acting. After
circling four times at height Of 100
to 500 feet, Levine tried to land, but
pace that the machine bounded SO feet.
Levine. however. was able to accel-
crate the engine and rose 100 feet.
Evntually he made clumsy. but safe,

unable to see what the Croydon air.

AIR GROUP FAvORS
CHECK ON FLIGHTS
Rigid Control of All Future
Transoceanic Attempts
Urged by Committee.

Disclaiming any desire to discourage
individual initiative in the quest for
new records" the contest committee

= ton today announced that it favors
rigid control of all future transoceanlc
air attempts.

signed to insure fitness of flying

lowing a special meeting to CONSIDER
control of hazardous flight over long

ont that "the committee CONSIDERS 1t

ats members are agreed. however"
the statement said, that all such at
tempts should be surrounded with
such restrictions as may be necessary
to insure that the pilot and other
members of the crew are thoroughly
qualified, physically, mentally and by
training and experience, for their
undertaking and that their alrplane,
its power plant and its auxiliary
equipment have been chosen and test
ed with due reference to the task In
hand.
THE committee does not feel that
more direct control is required, as II
is satisfied that responsible pubic
opinion will not approve of the CON

with those safeguards necessary TO
win the sanction of the National Aero
nautic Association.
THE contest committee appreciates
the evident willingness Of the war De-
