AVIATION NEWS

CHICAGO-At twelve o'clock Sun day night. Eastern Daylight Saving time, Bert Hassell and Parker Cra- mer. Illinois fliers, in their plane, Greater Rockford" were II hours overdue in reporting their arrival at Greenland. Greenland was the desti- nation of the ayiators when they set out from Cochrane. Ontario, on tho second leg of what was intended to be a transatlantic flight to Sweden by way of the northern route.
 The last vague radio calls from the airplane were received at three o'clock, Central Standard time, or five o'clock New York Daylight Saw ing time. Thereafter, silence was the rule and a late dispatch from Greenland said the ayiators were nei- ther heard from nor seen although they were long overdue. They were flying over the toughest sort of land which provided poor opportunities for a forced descent and for this req son anxiety was mounting in their home town as the hours passed. The men carried plenty of fuel and may be down on Canadian wastes making repairs.
 Another aviation exploit almost as bold as that tried by Hassell and cra- mer is being assayed by Art Goebel, winner of the Dole Hawaiian flight last year. He hopped off from Los Angeles at six minutes past four, New York Daylight Saving time, in an attempted nonstop flight to New York
