ROCKFORD BEDLAM OF NOISE
CELEBRATING FLYERS SAFETY
Home City Unlocks Emotion Pent Up for
Two Weeks-Thousands Throng
Downtown Streets

BY word of mouth the tidings were
spread, and 1t was but few minutes
from the time the message first was
received over the air until thousands
had thronged the downtown section.
It was Just two weeks ago yesterday
that the Greater Rockford's radio set
signaled the letter 'R" at o'clock i'll
the morning, indicating by that alpha
bette code that the plane was about Is
miles of Cape Chidley. Canada, on its
way 10 Mount Evans. From then until
last night hope rose and fell as almost
daily rumors of messages purported to
be from the lost flyers were proved
erroneous.
Arctic explorers said there was little
chance of Hassell and Cramer surviving
If they were forced down In the interior
of Greenland, and no chance If they
had been forced down in the sea.
Series of Hard Luck.
The tragic end to the transatlantic
flight was considered another bit of the
Ill luck which has followed the Greater
Rockford almost since 1t was received
early this year from the factory. Twice
on its trial flights the plane made
forced landings One was in an Iowa
cornfield, which caused poStponement

On July IS the plane took off from
the Rockford municipal airport and dis
appeared in the mist over the Rockford
River at the far end of the landing field.
Five minutes later. another plane re-
turned with the news that the end of
the fight had been In a field five miles
away
The plane again was returned to the
factory for repairs. On the morning of
August Is. three weeks TO the day after
the first takeoff the Greater Rockford
took the air and headed into the North
west. 1t arrived at Cochrane, Ontario,
on its first destination, that afternoon.
Rain delayed its takeof from there for
two days.
From the time it left Cochrane early
on the morning of August Is until 3
O'Clock the following morning, regular
signals were heard giving the planes To-
cation. Then the signals suddenly

ROCKFORD, Ill. September "a

Rockford had locked In its breast for
two anxious weeks.
1t transformed dull hope to glorious
reality-Bert HaSsell and Parker era

Word of their safety In Greenland

But not so in Rockford. Automobile
horns squawked and factory and loco
motive whistles screeced Stranger slap

tossed in the air, and thousands shout

pushed and rushed about the streets
eagerly seeking the --latest news"
Outpouring crowds from theaters
swelled downtown crowds and many per-
sons, who had gone to bed when the
first message was received, donned
street clothes to scurry downtown.
First word of the safety of the flyers
was received by radio fans who kept
telephone operators frantic by calling
friends until early this morning.
