FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES
 BESET FLYERS AND OWNERS

NEW YORK -Charles i Levine, threatened to dismiss Lloyd Ber- trand. navigator and alternate pilot with Clarence Chamberlain of the Bellanea designed machine, as result of financial difficulties arising out of possibility of pro viding for the wives of the fliers in the event their attempt to cross the Atlantic came to griefr. As climax to the difficulties which have been thrashed odt all week Bertrand in 3 telegram to Levine declared that neither he nor his wife would touch a cent of Leyine's money and that there was not enough money in the world to pay a man for such flight He offered. however. 10 buy the plane from Levine for it's cross ocean flight and then return it without compensation He said he wanted to make certain that the owner of the Bellanca machine did not get a penny of the prize money that would be won by the ayiatOrs completing the trip. There were in- dieations that the Columbia might be withdrawn from the flight or be withheld pending the selection Of another pilot. It was charged by Bertrand's lawyer that the entire scheme was to obtain publicity for the plane and that it would be withdrawn.
 Meanwhile things proceeded fine in other camps. Commander Byrd made a trial flight while Captain Charles Lindberg took advantage of the poor weather to see New York.
 There were reports from rum runner that Nurgesser and Golinin in the White Bird had been sighted near the United States The report still remains unconfirmed
