landing gear, dropped after their start. would make descent on the water mysh safer than on land.
 A formal welcome by Mayor Walker planned to take place as soon as the fliers recovered from the ex- haustion of the voyage.
 Wishes of success for the French fliers was voiced generally by tiiers here, who spoke highly of the cour- age shown by Nhe men in taking off in the face of adverse weather con- ditions.
 Has Difficult Task
 Mitchell Field. N. Y, May 9 P)- If Captain Nungesser brings his White Bird" into New York today, army airmen at Mitchell Field say that he will have done more than fly from Paris to New York. He will, in their opinion. have accom- jlshed 8 miracle Of the air in pene- plished a miracle of the air in pene- trating the unfavorable visibility conditions to find his objective.
 Army airmen suggested that the visibility today was so bad that un- less a pilot was thoroughly familiar with the course or could follow the coast line it would be almost impos- sible for him to reach New York. Captain Nungesser's chances of fol- lowing the coast line were regard ed as improbable on account of his almost certain scarcity of gasoline.
 Reports to the army air field from Fort II. C. Wright on the eastern tip of Long Island were that condi- tions for flying there were very poor Plans for five plane formation, headed by Lieutenant Colone Foulois. to meet the French airnen were virtually abandoned in the face of the weather conditions described by some airmen as Impossible. Fly ing in the clouds, rain and fog to- day they said would not only be hazardous on it's own account but making also grave danger of q col lision with the French flyers. Landing Difficult
 If Captain Nungesser is forced down after reaching the United States and flying cross country, his task will not be easy. Army air men agree that the plane can be landed without the assistance of landing gear but that none of them would like such task.
 The consensus among the flyers was that if the White Bird" has been so duffeted by head winds that it's gas supply should become low. NungesSer will attempt to find a body of water on which to land. Weather Conditions
 Boston, May 9.-LP>-The forced landing of the world flyers in 1924 was recalled today when a blanket of fog and rain such as greeted them on their approach to the New England coast provided similar conditions for Captain Nungesser, flying from Paris to New York. The airmen returning from their flight around the world had intended to '"'hS Li1cii LllSJ sup at boSlOu put i because the weather made the trip i down the coast hazardous they dropped down at Mere Point. an | isolated spot on the Maine shore. Rain which had been threatening all the forenoon started fl earnest here shortly afternoon. Offshore visibility was restricted to d very short distance.
 Because of the parallel in wealth CT army airmen here thought it highly possible that Nungesser also might find himself compelled to terminate his flight in some one of the lnnumcrable harbors and coves along the lengthy and irregular Maine coastline.
