HOPE Is STILL HELD.
Sending of Los Angeles on Long Trip
Impracticable, However.

By the Associated Press,
Search over Labrador for the miss
ing French Atlantic flyers, Nungessef
and Coli, by the dirigible Los Angeles
would be impracticable, naval officials
decided Yesterday after a careful study
OF the problems involved.
Secretary Wilbur said this action
did not mean that ths Levy l>.fi aban-
doned hope for the intrepid French
men. explaining that there was the
possibility that they had landed in
Labrador, and might not be heard from
for many days unless their plane was
able to take off again when the ram
and fd1 along the coast had subslded.
The Navy Secretary recalled that
number of aviators had been missing
for weeks, only to return safely 10
civilization He also pointed out that
planes without landing gear, as the
White Bird was, have been brought to
earth without serious injury to their
pilots.
Two factors entered chiefly into the
decision not to send the Los Angeles
to Labrador. The first was the dlff1-
Guilty in obtaining sufficient heiium
for her gas bags on such long cruise,
and the second the doubt of the
ability of the ship to complete the
round trip of approximately 2,4O0
miles after d thorough search or
Labrador had been made.
Notwithstanding Secretary Wilbur $
hope for the safety of the French
flyers, 1t was evident in both Coast
Guard and naval circles that the
search was viewed largely as a futile
one.
The Coast Guard headquarters
latest reports yesterday had four ships
searching off New England and Nova
Scotia, Navy adyices saying Coast
Guard ships had been withdrawn were
relayed here from Boston.
Rear Admiral Philip Andrews,
commandant of the Boston Navy
Yard and of the first naval district,
has notified the Navy Department
that the Wandank and Mohave,
ocean-goiAg tugs, have been recalled
from thef search operations for the
missing French aviators. Their
work was hampered by fogs and IN
clement weather.

ferson brothers started flying school
which Bertaud joined. Silas Christof-
ferson taught him to pilot one of the
contemporary bird cages of piano wire
and bamboo. In February, 1914, he
was graduated as finished pilot.
From then until the war he spent
his time working on aviation engines
and flying in the East and West. He
enlisted as a flying cadet, went
through the Cornell ground school,
was commissioned lieutenant and
served as instructor and test pilot for

He was married To Miss Helen Lent
October 23, 1922, by Rev. Belvin W.

ceremony took place in the air over
New York City. He has no children.
The last three years Bertaud has
been an airmail pilot, flying day and
night on the Cleveland TO New York
rum He lives in Cleveland. Ohio.
Bertaud was specially chosen for
the transatlantic hop because of his
knowledge of navigation and his ex
perience as a night flyer.
