Pilot Is Selected

CROYDON AIRPORT, England,
Aug. 30.-Charles A. Levines Bel
lanca monoplane Columbia left here
today for Cranwell, whence the
start on the proposed return fight
across the Atlantic is to be made.
Capt. Walter r. G. Hinchliffe,
English pilot, appointed by Levine,
and the planes owner were in the
craft. Cranwell Field isAin Lincoln
shire.
Levine selected half blinded
man to pilot the BellaI1ca mono
plane Columbia on it's return fight
across the Atlantic to New York.
Hinchcliffe lost an eye in an air
fight during the war. He is one
of Britain's foremost f,iers.
Levine said the plane may start
tomorrow for Long Island. The
date, however, is still indefinite.
HinchcIiffe Is Praised
An attempt will be made later to
recapture the endurance record
which the Columbia held until sew
A.1eral weeks ago, Levine said. The
plane is capable of sixty-ffve hours
lying, he said.
He praised Hinchliffe, who he
said has flown probably the great
est number of hours of any avia-
tor in the world, I believe about
1900 hours" Hinchliffe is a war
ace and senior pilot for Imperial
Airways.
Arrangements have been made by
Levine to equip the Columbia with
wireless set and a British COM
pass.
Il flew from Paris without a
compass" he said, "and steered by
confidence. Nine-tenths of flying
is merely having confidence in your
self.
Offered s5O,oOO for Plane
II have been planning this trans
Atlantic flight for several months.
I announced before / left New York
that the Columbia would make a
round trip and I am determined to
make 1t. ~
AN American woman offered me
$4,000 for the Columbia. But it's
not for sale. It's my baby. How
ever, I offered to build the woman
another one like it,"
Upon his arrival here yesterday
from Paris, Levine said he intended
to pilot the Columbia back across
the Atlantic by himself.
The probability that Captain
Hinchliffe would be given first
choice among the applicants was
first discovered by Capt. A. F. Muir
in an interview.
Tells of Leaving Paris
After witnessing Levine's landing
on Croydon Field, landing which
might have wrecked many another
lnplane, Captain Muir rushed to Le-
kine and said, That's a wonderful
machine you go' there. I'll take
you to America now. How about it?"
Il couldn't do that" Levine re-
piled, because I've arranged with
Captain Hincififfe to take me
across the Atlantic.
Levine issued a statement in
WAlACA AAC gave lid IcdoUllS lOT Ills
sudden and spectacular departure
from Paris.
while in France every possible
obstacle was put in the way of the
proposed flight" he said. whether
or not, it was because the French
resented our going to Germany
first I do not know, but everything
I did in France was subject to con-
stant criticism, in the newspapers
and elsewhere. Frequently I was
.snisrepresented.
Finally could see no other way
put exceptto bring the airplane to
England and start from here.

Levine added, twas because Drouhin
refused to start for New York. al

AUSTRIA DENOUNCES
 COMMERCIAL TREATY

VIENNA, May 2S. (R)-Austria and Czechoslovakia have broken off negotiations for new commercial treaty and Austria has denounced the old arrangement as of April IS. This automatically increases import duties on Czechoslovak goods 150 per cent, which is unlikely to continue long as the two countries are de- pendent on each other. Austria, for the moment, will benefit in one way, as her imports from Czechoslovakia are responsible for one-third of her adverse trade balance.

Hop off From England

CRANWELL AIRDROME, Eng
land, Sept. 23.--Charles A. Levine
and Capt. Walter Hinchcliffe today
started their .long-delayed flight to
the Far East in the Bellanca mono
plane Columbia.
They will endeavor to fly to
Karachi, India, and hope to estab-
fish new world endurance and dis
lance records.
The Columbia, weighted down
with 480 gallons of gasoline, TAXED
only 400 yards before its wheels left
the ground at 8:07 a. m.
1t rose gracefully, encircled the
field, then sailed away into the sun
which encircles a rainbow.
The weather was favorable with a
twenty five mile an-hour westerly
wind to add to the speed Of the
plane.
The route chosen by Hinchcliffe
was to the Norfolk county coast on
the North Sea, thence by way Of the
Carpathian mountains to CONSTANT
nople, to Bagdad, the Persian Gulf
and Karachi.
Levine had on the same blue
striped flying suit and the same blue
shirt in which he crossed the At
lantic.
Only Few Spectators
When informed that TIlnney had
won the fight. Levine said, That's
too bad. I backed Dempsey"
In saying farewell to his wife,
Captain Hinchcliffe said, Don't
worry about me; my next message
will be from India"
Their food consisted Of sand
wiches. hot coffee and a large sup
ply Of water.
Only few spectators witnessed
the departure.
Trip Long Delayed
Several unsuccessful attempts
were made last week to begin the
fight.
For a time early this week it
looked as if Levine and Hinchcliffe
would break relations, owing to the
latter's impotence over the several
postponements of the fight.
The Columbia, in which Levine
and Clarence Chamberlin crossed
the Atlantic on an eastward flight,
was to have been flown by Levine
and Hinchcliffe on an attempted
eastward transatlantic flight to
New York. But several weeks of
bad weather delayed the start until
it was too late in the season to UNI
dertake the hazardous flight across
the north Atlantic.
