 FORCED LANDING
PROJECTED FLIGHT ACROSS AT
 LANTIc FAILS; PICKED UP SWIMMING BY PLANE

LISBON, Portugal, Aug. 6. (P)- After being 24 hours overdue Major Leon Idsikowsh and Major Casimir Kubala, Polish flyers were picked up by the German Steamship Sammos off the coast of Portugal, after being forced to land at sea because of a laking feed pipe.
 One was sent to hospital to have his arm treated. Both fliers were badly shaken up and bruised by the shock of landing in none too calm sea. Their plane had bsen in the air 35 hours and had made a great circle out over the Atlantic toward the Azores during which time they had been sighted by two steamships.
 It was reports from these two ships that indicated the fliers had given up their attempt to span the Atantic and were heading back to Europe. It was the second time in a week that they had trouble with the fuel supply and forced the ocean fiji CTS to land at sea, but like Captain Frank Courtney, whose plane like wise failed him, these Polish aviators seemed certain to have been victims of the sea.
