DE P|NED0 HALTED BY DENSE MISTS
Does Not Know When He Will Resume Flight

New York. May 10 P-Francesco De Pinedo. Italian aviator, was fog bound today and could not say when he would resume the Boston to Philadelphia hop of his four-conti- nent flight. He will wait for a clear ing of the fog which twice forced his Santa Maria II to land yesterday. The plane came down the second time on the East River last night.
 De Pinedo asserted that his in- formation was that the fog was not expected to lift today and he could make no plans in the face of the prevailing weather conditions.
 The Italian aviator said the fog was probably responsible for the failure of Captains Nungesser and Coli to complete their Paris to New York flight. He expressed fervent hope for the safety of the French flyers and suggested that they may have been picked up by small boat without wireless as was the case when Harry Hawker. the English aviator, was forced to land in the sea in 1919.
 Under normal conditions. he said. he was convinced that Nungesser, whom he termed one of the ablest and bravest aviators in the world. would have reached his objective.

FRANCE UPSTAIRS
 0F AIRMEN'S FATE
Eulogy in House of Deputies
 Planned for Today

Paris. May 10 RlFrance had an awakening after yesterdays delirium when it learned today that the heroes Of the hour-Nungesser and Coli-instead of triumphantly arriv- ing at New York had not yet been heard from.
 There were angry scenes on the boulevards in the small hours of the morning when news slowly spread that the fate of the airmen was still uncertain. The crowds, at first slow to believe the ill tidings, finally were convinced that they were true and gave vent to their resentment by gathering all possible copies of too optimistic special editions and burned them. It was not until dawn that the police succeeded in dis persing the crowds. So circumstan- tial did the reports appear that the aviators were sighted on the other side of the Atlantic, that some of the morning newspapers announced they had succeeded in crossing.
 Although Fernand Bouisson. the president of the chamber of depu- ties, announced that he intended to pronounce eulogies of Nungesser and Coli at the opening of the chamber today, rendering tribute on the part of the house in which the govern lnent would join, aviation circles saw no reason. to despair. While anxious, these circles recalled that when the British f1ier Hawker fell into the Atlantic in 1919 while try ing to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland, no news of him was re- ceived for week.
 Gene Ral Delcambre, chief of the French weather bureau, told the Echo De Paris. that what added to his anxiety from the start was Coils insistence on taking an unfrequented course far to the north of that in- dicated in the press. But, he said, Coli answered his objections by re- marking that it was of no impor- tance, because even if they followed the steamer lines they would not be seen.
 The general. upon whose advice the aviators started. repeated that the weather conditions were eXcep- tionally favorable, He declared he told them of the greatly increased difficulties by flying east to west, but for patriotic reasons they stuck to their original choice.
