WANAMAKER HAS
 SPENT FORTUNE
Already Has GiYen Half Million for Ocean Flight

New York, June 22 R - When weather permits the tri-motored Fokker monoplane, America. to take off for Paris, Rodman Wanamaker will see the dawn of a dream which already has cost him nearly $500, 900.
 After spending moro than $200.o0 in 1914 in . vain effort to build . flying boat powerful enough for . cross-seas flight, Wanamaker hnanc- ed the projected flight of Comman- dor Richard E. Byrd.
 Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars has already been spent on the new expedition. designed to ob- tain scientific data in the interests of development of trans oceanic travel by air. The costs of the Wan amaker enterprise greatly exceed the S25,000 flight of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and the $50,000 expedition of the Bellanca monoplane. Colum- bia.
 The America alone cost between $70, ,o00 and $so,o0o and other thous- ands were spent on hundreds of de- tails to aid the efficiency and safety of the project. A sloping runway which allows an advantage equiva- lent to 500 feet of take-off distance has been built at Roosevelt held. where Captain Rene Fonck. French aviator. ended in disaster his effort to take off for Paris almost . year ago. Fonck is expecting delivery of a new plane next month in which he plans a second effort to span the dis tance to o.Paris.
 An elaborate scheme for weather observation has been established by the Byrd expedition. Men have been sent abroad to arrange with foreign weather bureaus and government ex- perts for advice and information while experts here arc in daily con- sultation with the flight commander.
 Some of the foremost figures in aviation comprise the crew. With Commander Byrd will be Bert Acos- ta, joint holder with Clarence Cham berlin of the worlds endurance re- cord; Lieut.. George Noville. decorat- ed for bravery while flying for Italy during the world war and former superintendent of the United States air mail service, and Bernt Balchen. formerly a lieutenant in the Norwe- gian navy and a member of the Amundsen polar expedition in 1925. Balchen, whose selection as . fourth member of the crew was announced yesterday, rendered valuable aid to Byrd before the commander flew over the north pole two years ago.
 A north Atlantic storm. In the path which Byrd hopes to travel, prohibited a takeoh again yesterday, and indicated that . start would not be made until tonight or tomor- row, at the earliest.
