SUVA, Fiji Islands, June 7. =
The crew of the trans Pacific plane
Southern Cross, made ready today
for their flight to Brisbane, Aus
tralia, 1895 miles from Suva.
CAPTAIN Charles Kingsford Smith,
commander of the plane, planned to
leave tomorrow unless unforeseen
difficulties develop in the prepara-
tions for the departure.
The main problem confronting the
four aviators of the Southern Cross
today was the selection of suit
able place from which they can
take off with fuel load of 900 gal
Ions of gasoline.
In spite of expert maneuvering
of the giant plane as it landed on
the recreation field here, the mar
+ gin of safety was dangerously small
and Captain Kingsford Smith mar
rowly averted crashing into a tree
and a fence at the end of the field.
Army officers urged Captain
Kingsford- Smith to move the plane
to Naselai Beach, about 10 miles
from Suva, where long stretch of
ground would be available for the
plane to gain momentum necessary
to lift its great weight.
Captain Kingsford-Smith an
nounced the two Americans with
the Southern Cross, Captain Harry
Lyon, navigator, and James War
ner, radio operator, would continue
the flight to Australia.
Originally it was planned for the
two Americans to leave the expedi-
tion here and for Captain Kings
, ford Smith and his fellow country
man, Charles T. p. Ulm, relief pilot,
to 90 on TO their native land alone,
Plane Inspected
Captain Kingsford- Smith ana
Tim made a thorough inspection OF
| the Southern Cross and tested out
its motors today. They pronounced
the craft in as perfect condition as
when they took off from Oakland
! Airport in California, week ago.
! Lyon checked the charts for the
flight of nearly 1900 miles over the
Pacific to Brisbane and Warner
superintended the recharging OF
/ the batteries of his radio set and
made minor repairs in the set.
Members of the crew revealed
that barely % gallons of gasoline
remained in the tanks of the South
crn Cross when it landed here. That
would have kept the plane in the
air for about 100 miles more.
On leaving Hawaii they estima-
ted they carried enough gasoline to
reach Suva with surplus for 200
miles more. Storms encountered ON
the way cut down the reserve. The
flyers were rested today from the
strain of their flight from Hawaii
and went briskly about the work
cf preparing for the next hop.
''We are extremely grateful 10
the Matson Navigation Company for
the assistance it gave us in securing
supplies and arranging for the stop
lcre, - Captain kingsford Smith
said.
He also expressed appreciation Of
the assistance given by radio sta
tions which kept in contact with
the Southern Cross throughout the
flight.
After reaching Brisbane, the
Southern Cross will make another
hop of 500 miles to Sydney, com,
pleting an air voyage Of nearly
5000 miles.

Australian Papers Start

SYDNEY, Australia, June T.
(Thursday public campaign
was being conducted here today to
raise funds to save Captain Charles
Kingsford Smith and Charles T. =.
Tim from insolvency when they
complete their flight from Califor-
MIA to Australia.
Newspapers in sydney and other
cities took up the cause of the air.
men. Stories wera printed that des-
pite the backing of Allen Hancock,
laillenairc oil man of Los Angeles,
the aviators were 5000 lbs. in
debt. One newspaper called for sub
scriptions large or small while
another in making a financial plea
said: els it a ease of kingsford-
Smith flying from the Golden Gate
to poverty point!'
One of the first contributions re.
ccivcd here was by a former Ameri-
can sailor, who donated a half dol
la.
The financial status of the flyers
cane up in Federal parliament today
when Prime Minister Bruce was
questioned regarding the reported
5000 lbs. Indebtedness.
While the prime minister refrain
ed from answering questions, it was
autholitatively stated that large
federal money grant would be made
t. help finance the expedition.
The. grant, it was said, was likely
to include the Americans, Lieuten
ant Harry Lyon, navigator, and
James Warner, radio operator.
The trans Pacific flight was Ori-
ginally planned when the wave of
aviation enthusiasm followed the
successful crossing of the Atlantic
Ey Colonel Charles Lindbergh was
at its height.
Captain Kingsford Smith sought
the aid Of the Australian govern
ment for his project, and it was
promised and advance payments
were made toward securing a
/ plane.
Government Stops Aid
Captain kingsford-Smith left for
the United States and began pre-
paration for the undertaking last
simmer.
Then came the disasterOus Dole
flight from Oakland to Honolulu
in which seven aviators were lost.
Several trans Atlantic flights end
ed in tragedy.
Convinced that an attempt TO
cross the Pacific would be a hopeless
risk of human life, the Australian
government withdrew its support
and urged Captain Kingsford Smith
to return home.
/ With limited resources Captain
! Kingsford-Smith went ahead with
/ his plans but because of the lateness
of the season was finally forced to
abandon the flight until this year.
! In the meantime he made three
= attempts in California to break the
world s endurance flight record
with the Southern Cross. The at
tcmpts failed through exhaustion
of the fuel supply but convinced
Captain Kinksford Smith his plane
was capable of crossing the Pacific.
The aid of Hancock was at last
secured and funds were advanced
from time to time to prepare for
| the takeoft
But even with the private backing
he has received, Captain kingsford
! Smith faces financial ruin as the re.
suit of his history making flight
