1.-THE long flight east.
ward of Charles A. Levine in his
transa tlantic monoplane Columbia. in
pursuit of the long distance record,
had to be postponed this morning for
at least another day because the
plane, too overloaded, failed to rise
from the ground after two futile at
tempts to take off.
There had been some argument be.
tween Levine and his pilot. Capt.
Walter Hinchcliffe. as to whether the
field was dry enough for the attempt,
1t had been raining. but the sun
came out brightly this morning and
Capt. Hinchcliffe was opposed to a
further postponement, declaring that
there was a limit to his patience and
that it was now or never.
Fails to Leave Ground.
The argument ended with both men
entering the machine about 9 am.

was set going, but it was not until
1880 am. that the first attempt was
made to get into the air. This proved
unsuccessful after a 700-yard run.
Then another try was made half an
hour later with 90 gallons of gaso-
line removed, but this proved equally
unsuccessful. the Columbia's tail re-
fusing to leave the ground
Levine. as he stepped from the
plane, said that he and Capt. Hinch-

Capt. Hinchcliffe was by no means
satisfied with the way the Columbia's
engine worked and attributed the fail.
ure of the machine to take off in
large measure to this. He calculated
that the propeller revolutions were far
short of the maximum, probably as
much as 100 revolutions a minute.
Engine Expert on Job.
An engine expert who is a member
of the air force at Cranwell set to
work Immediately on the motor, and
it was hoped that he would have il
in perfect order again by late after
noon.
Another factor that initiated
against the proper rising of the plane
was the direction of the wind. A
westerly wind is the most advan-
tageous for the Cranwell runway.
The airmen had a wind from this
direction early today. but delayed
their attempt to start so long that by
the time they were ready the wind
had Veered to the north.

The President, after a tentative

consideration of the problem in the

also is expected to favor the granting
of right of way to the tax bill.
The Republican leaders. including
Representative Tilson of Connecticut,
House majority leader, and Speaker
Longworth have put forward the sug-
gestion that tax legislation should be
the first measure on the new sessions

The President considers that In view
of the probability of the Army engi-

OF S60O.OOO.0 900 was accumulated at the
