TWO WAY WIRELESS
 PHONE TALK HEARD
Fans Tune in On U. S.-EnBland
 Conversation

New Britain radio fans who hap pened to be listening in on their sets this afternoon at about 1 o'clock. received an unexpected treat if they tuned to WGY, Schenectady, where the proceedings of a two-way tele- phone conversation between England and the United States were being broadcast.
 Except for the fact that there was considerable high-speed fading, the listener might have been eavesdropping on party line in New Britain. One of the speakers was in Schenectady, presumably at the General Electric laboratory, and the other, while probably in London, did not make any reference to his exact location while the Herald was listening.
 The conversation was taking place on 8 high wavelength assigned for such uses, but WGY picked up the broadcast and transmitted it on it's own wave, 7so kiloeycles. or a79.5 meters.
 
 the speakers did not seem to be awed by the fact that nearly $500 miles separated them. the greater part of the distance being given over to nothing but air and radio signals, since the two-way talk was broadcast by radio from the coast of America to the coast of England where it was picked up by a powerful radio station and transmitted by wire to the telephone exchange.
 The English speaker had a most pronounced accent and, at times, he appeared to be slightly stumped by the Americans colloquial, express sions. There was some technical talk, together with many pleasan- tries and then the American asked how a certain program, broadcast from the United States, was received in England. The party on the other end of the wire" said that the pro- gram was excellent, but that 1t was impossible for him to understand much of the program because it was in negro dialect Then followed an by the English speaker of some of the expressions used. He stated that in his country the word quite" is used much of the time, when the speaker means "yes." "Yes?" asked the American. Yes" replied the Englishman.
 And then, finally, the conversa- ton got around to the old familiar standby, the weather. The American, apparently at loss for something Of interest to say, asked how the wealth. CT was and if they had had any storms, the reply being that the wind had been cutting up some capers. Then he asked what the temperature was in England and the Englishman replied that it was such-and-such l "Oh. yes," replied the l speaker on this side, rather dubious y. Well, it will certainly be great ! when the good old spring rolls around again" stated the representa- i've of the United States. Tt sure- ' will" agreed the other party.
 And so it went. There seemed to De considerable static on the wave | employed for the transmission of the , although it was reduc- Id to more of a hissing noise than ] anything else. The fading was of peculiar type, cutting in and out 'apidly. The fading caused consid- ,rably difficulty and it was neces- 'ary for both parties to ask for re- ,eats on statements. several times.

DIXON WILL PILOT
 PLANE ID FLORIDA
Flight From Hartford to Miami
 Late This Week

From Hartford to Miami, Fla, will the next flight of Lieut.. Carl Dixon of this city. chief pilot for the l.. & H. Aircraft Co. of Hartford. The flight will be made late this week in a Fairbanks cabin airplape with Wright whirlwind motor. similar to the engine used by Col. Lindbergh in his Spirit of St. Louis' on his transatlantic flight.
 Lieut.. Dixon will act as pilot for two residents of Springfield, who are going south for the rest of the win ter. He has invited J. Horan Hadi- gan. private chauffeur for Mrs. Charles H. Parsons of this city. to accompany him. It is probable that . nonstop flight will be attempted.
 Lieut.. Dixon and Hadigan had thrilling experience in their flight from Hagerstown. Md, to Hartford, which was begun Saturday after noon and was finished Sunday after noon. They left under favoravle weather conditions and ran into heavy clouds and sleet. Visibility was extremely poor and after polk ing around in the murk for several hours they were forced to land on . farm at Mullica Hill. N. ],
 They spent the night in Philadel- rhia and hopped off again at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon although there was little improvement ill the weather An hour later they were over New York and Dixon headed the plane toward Long Island Sound to follow the shore line. The air was intensely cold and as Dixon had not anticipated a drop in the temporal ture he suffered severely. He was wearing kid gloves and had neg lected to provide himself with overshoes.
 Dixon realized that he was in danger of coming down from lack of gasoline and shot over to Nauga- tuck, hoping to land at Bethany field. But the airdrome there was snow covered and he decided to take a chance on reaching Hartford.
 The plane passed over New Brit ain about o'clock and soon after ward reached Brainard field. Hart ford. Dixen flew to the Connecti- cut river expecting to bank and re- turn to the field as the majority of airmen do when about to land. As he completed the banking process, tho engine aputtered and died. The last drop of gasoline had been con- sumed.
 Making use of his skill as a pilot derived from years of experience. Dixon kept control of his nerve and glided to earth, a quarter mile from his hangar. The plane came to rest with it's nose in snowbank.
 BraiAard field officials assisted Dixon and Hadigan to field head quarters where Dixon's hands and feet were plunged into pail of ice water as they had become numb from cold.
 Hadigan said today that Dixon showed remarkable pluck from the time they left Hagarstown until they reached Hartford. At. one time ] when the ship was near Philadelphia the visibility was 50 poor that Dixon was forced to remove his goggles. Several times while the fog was thickest they found themselves dan- gerously near tall chimnys.

 In the Lindbergh plane were IT sacks of mail weighing approxomate- ly 800 pounds and filling the ship.
 The average time required for the Chicago-St. Louis flight is three hours and 20 minutes, but Col. Lind bergh anticipated delays at Peoria and Springfield where regular stops were scheduled.
 A reporter asked the flyer if he slept much last night. Col. Lind bergh smiled as he placed the query in the personal question" category which he makes practice never to answer. Fellow airmen, however. said Lindbergh slept about three hours, although he appeared fresh when he reached the field.

 The long wait for plane time vis- ibly affected him. He sat in the offices of the Robertson corporation which handles the St. Louis air mail. picking up magazines, glancing at them a moment, and then putting them aside. He, consulted his watch 
 Just before taking off he posed for this being the first chance the photographers had at him since he landed from St. Louis last night.
 Not Paid
 In short interview before the takeoff Col. Lindbergh told the As- sociated Press that his hurried de- parture from the landing field last night was due to his desire that the mail be not delayed by any demon- stration.
 The reporter asked him if, in go- ing back for single round trip on the air mail route he used to travel he was to receive the reg ular pilots pay. To this the colonel replied that he had never thought to make those arrangements"
 Lindbergh devoted several mo- ments to careful inspection of his parachute which was strapped to his back just before he stepped into the plane.
