Pilot Maurice Drouhin today conn

the craft to the United States.
Drouhin and Clarence D. Cham

New York to Germany flight, ar
rived in the Columbia at 3:13 p. M,
today from Paris. They circled the
field twice.
Drouhin told the United Press he
would pilot the Columbia back to
Paris tonight. Levine said he would
accompany Drouhin and that a
second F'renchman, MachiS, would
be aboard.
Chamberlin Gives Lesson
Mrs. Clarence D. Chamberlin also
arrived from Paris by air. The
Chamberlins will remain until July
II when they will sail for the United
States aboard the Leviathan
Chamberlin showed Drouhin the
tricks of the Bellanca, ship out of
courtesy to a fellow pilot although
he and Levine have broken off the
partnership which began Wien they
, started for Berlin from Roosevelt
Field.
John CariSi, chief mechanic of
the Columbia Aircraft Corporation,
is expected to sail from New York
tomorrow bringing with him a new
motor for the Columbia.
Women Are Eager
Before Levine named his pilot he
was flooded with requests from
American and European women to
be taken along on the westward
flight. Some offered to go as pas
sengers, some as pilots, and some
as either or both.
Levine has signed a contract with
the German aviatriX, Fraulein Thea
Roche, calling for exhibition flights
by her in the United States.
