British FGer Hops at 8:l7 on First Leg of Flight to Australia, via Samoa and Fiji Islands.
W eather Conditions Over 2,4O0 Mile Stretch De- clared Not Good" Plane Takes Off With Bumpy Start, Gaining Altitude Slowly.

Mills Field, San Francisco, Nov. 19 P}-Captain Frederick A. Giles, British aviator hoped off here to- day on his projected s,600 mile flight from the Golden Gate to New Zealand with Honolulu 2,400, miles distant as his first scheduled stop.
 The plane got off to a bunny start at s:17 a. m. Pacific coast time and Giles had some difficulty getting altitude.
 The flier circled easily, gaining al- titude foot at time and finally struck out over San Francisco Bay.
 Giles started his dash against the advice of weather bureau officials who declared flying conditions be- tween San Francisco and Hawaii were mot good.'
 In spite of the heavy load which Giles plane, named the Wanda. carried. the take-off and the fight for altitude were made without giving the few spectators at the field a thrill.
 The weather bureaus warning caused Giles 10 announce he would return If conditions at sea were too bad to continue. and the staff at Miles field prepared to receive him in the event he turned back.

 Mayor Weld today expressed re- gret that the airport matter cannot go to the board of finance and tax ation before the option expires. but he declares this is now impossible.

 Washington, Nov. 1s (P) - One hundred thousand dollars in liberty bonds deposited in the name of H. M. Blackmer, missing Teapot Dome oil witness, was seized here by the government today on cIders Of the supreme court of the District of Columbia.
 The seizure vas made by United States Marshal Snyder under the same order which cited Blackmer to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for his re fusal to return from Paris to testify in the case against Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, with especial reference to the liberty bonds Fall was accused of having received from Sinclair after the leasing of the naval oil reserve.
 Blackmer's attorneys will contend in court that the law permitting the seizure which was sponsored by Senator Walsh, of Montana, the prosecutor of the senate oil investi- gation, is unconstitutional and will attempt to retrieve the securities.
 The bonds were deposited with the National Savings and Trust un- der an agreement between Blackmer and government counsel. After at taching them Marshal Snyder had them listed and placed in a box which was sealed with a govern ment stamp.
