Mabel Boil Is Faced With
New Setback Because
of Ignoring Rules.

BIZ United Press
ROOSEVELT FIELD, L. l., June
8.-The plan of Miss Mabel Bon to
be the first woman to fly across the
Atlantic, retarded yesterday when
the monoplane Columbia was forced
to turn back to Roosevelt field be-
cause Of fog, faced another setback
today.
Miss Boil and her two pilots,
Oliver G. Leboutillier and Arthur
Angles, had planned to start north
ward again today, probably for Old
Orchard, Maine, from where the
transatlantic start would be made.
Lieut.. Henry B. Clark, comman-
dant Of Roosevelt field, said he
would not permit the Columbia to
leave Roosevelt field today under
any circumstances. Roosevelt field
has the only runway long enough for
a heavily-loaded plane to get away.
Clark criticised Charles A. Levine,
owner of the Columbia, for using
the runway at the field yesterday
without obtaining permission. When
the start for Old Orchard was made,
the Columbia was wheeled from
Curtis Field to the runway and a
start for Old Orchard made at 6:15
a. m.
IF necessary we will employ re-
volvers to keep intruders off the
field" Clark said in announcing his
opposition to Levines action.

''Your action seems to me to be IL
keeping with the spirit of the times
and to evidence an appreciation OF
the fact that when functioning
properly your detectives and those

"This luncheon seems to me to
signalize the passing of the day

regarded as cathedral of reaction
aryism and the editor of a news
paper was supposed to be loafing on
his job unless he functioned as the
leader of a perpetual lynching bee."
