ROOSEVELT FIELD, n. Y. June
22.-Comdr. Richard f. Byrd. of the
monoplane America. today frankly
admitted he did not know approxi-
mately what hour he would take off
| for Paris. There is slight posi-
| bility he may start at sunset today.
But 1t is more probable that he will
depart tomorrow morning. Weather
conditions continue unfavorable.
| A storm has been moving north
| from Nantucket along the Atlantic
Coast and there is also a low pres.
sure area across the path of the
| flight, between Newfoundland and
| ireland.
If weather conditions do not show
an improvement today, Byrd planned
to go to New Haven, Conn, to re
ceive the degree of master of arts
from Yale University, returning
here late today.
MonOplane II Guarded
The silver-bodied, goId.winged
monoplane with the red, white and
Fblne letters, America" on its sides
remained in the hangar during the
early hours closely guarded by
Gordon Of police. Ropes have been
drawn about the hangar to keep the
throngs Of curious away from the
| plane.
Nearly fifty automobiles were
parked all night in the vi;inity of
the hangar, their occupants sleep
ing in them so as to be on hand
IN the event of an early morning
popoff. There was considerable dis
appointment because Byrd and his
three companions. Bert Acosta, the
pilot; Lieut.. George o. Neville, and
Lieut.. Bernt Balchen did not get
away at dawn, as some of the most
optimistic expected.
The four men who are to make
this flight in the interest of
science all. have had spectacular
careers, and each of them has a
big, individual following at the
hangar. They are widely differing
types.
Byrd, tall, well-built. with dark
brown, curly hair and blue eyes,
is greatly admired by the women
| aviation fans, a number of whom
have sought to induce him to take
them along. He has had a won.
derful career in the air. his greatest
single accomplishment being his
flight over the North Pole on
May g. 1925. For this achievement
he was awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor. He was born in
Winchester. Va, October %. 1888.
His brother, Harry Byrd, Is now
governor of Virginia.
Commander. Byrd said he would
fly new course across the At.
lantic. He will steer on almost a
straight line across the ocean, fly
ing further south than Lindbersh
did when he took the great circle
route.

MAN HERE CADET
IN SAME SCHOOL
WITH L|NDBERGH
Morris Young, Fellow Stu
dent, Tells Anecdotes
of Paris Filler.

Charlie Lindbergh was not only a
gawky country boy and a flying
fool" but he usually accomplished
what he set his head to do-and
that is why he landed safely in
Paris Saturday ahead Of schedule on
his daring flight across the Atlantic
from New York.
That is what Morris G. Young,
publicity director OF the Indianapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce and for
mer newspaper man, thinks of the
man who was his brother cadet at
Kelly Field, San Antonio. Texas.
Though I had known Charlie
Lindbergh before, and knew what
he could do, his performance for
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch at the
close of the Kentucky Derby
year ago was surprising" Young
declared.
Some Speed
"The Post.Dispatch employed
Lindbergh to rush pictures Of the
race to st. Louis. The race was
over at about 4 o'clock. The Post
Dispatch camera man dashed to the
flying field out of Louisville by mo-
torcycle, tossed his camera to
and the flier took off.
"Lindbergh flew to Scott Field,
ILL.,, about fourteen miles from st.
Louis. There I met him and took
the pictures to the Post-Dispatch
and within four hours and twenty
one minutes the pictures were be-
ing prepared for an early edition.
Lindbergh beat the best train time
between Louisville and st. Louis
about nine hours.
'Lindbcrgh was the first pilot to
carry mail between st. Louis and
Chicago when that service was in
augurated. He hoped off from st.
Louis ind flew to Peoria, where he
was forced, down by sleet and snow.
Yet, as soon as possible, he took
off again, and made the trip to Chi
cago in record time"
Crashed in Midair
Young received his air training at
Kelly field at the same time Lind
bergh was there. He was there at
the time Lindbergh and Lieut.. VIII

to Paris is over a greater distance
than any single leg Of a Pacific
oast-to-Manila flight via Honolulu
and Guam. Such flight is clearly
practicable, and waits only some
ones enthusiasm. 1t would be es
pecially interesting because made be-
tween points all under the American
flag.
1.-The chief effort of airplane build
ers in the light OF Lindberg's
achievement will be to increase the
safety of planes consistent with
weight-carrying capacity. With
some further experience in long dis
lance flight with heavy loads the
feasibility of the trans-Pacific flight
can be safely predicted"
Now Heading South
Other authorities agreed, too, that
with the north pole covered" the
Atlantic crossed from New York to
Paris, and the western hemisphere
crossed and crisscrossed by Ameri-
can planes, the Pacific again will
engross the imagination Of fight
promoters.
