worlds sustained flight record OF 42O
hours, Peck and Genaro both ex-
pressed a desire to make another
go at it,"
No decision on renewal Of the
flight will be made for several days,
Major H. Leroy Muller, flight man
ager, said. He explained no start
will be made during the present
hazardous flying weather, but that
it might be possible after colder
weather, when better visibility, ar
rives.
"I wouldn't be afraid to start
across the Pacific without doing a
thing to either plane or motor"
Peck said.
II never saw such conditions in
all my life, and have been through
some pretty thick weather" he
added. why, even the birds walked.
When I coasted near a railroad
track, where the fog was thinner, I
saw a dozen blackbirds walking
down the track. Right then Genaro
and I decided it was time to quit"
Lieutenant G. o. Perry, Dayton,
chief refueling pilot, and Sergeant
Kent Boyer, FIT. Harrison refueler,
took off in face of the fog early this
morning in the Travelair refuel-
ing plane to attempt refueling
contact.
After making many circles over
the airport at about 100 feet alti-
tude, they finally sighted the Fla
mingo, narrowly escaping collision.
The hose was dropped and refuel-
ing started.
Plane Brushes Tree Top
Peck and Genaro we're startled
when the wheels of their plane
brushes through an unseen tree top,
breaking the connection. Their pro-
peller bears scratches from striking
the foliage. Sensing the futility of
further flight, Peck swooped down
and circled, finally picking a field
to land in.
AS he circled the field once more,
he saw a hangar at Hoosier airport
few feet below him and made a
safe, although hazardous landing.
Perry and Boyer we're less success
full, and were lost in the fog. Un-
able to find the airport again, they
made a safe landing in a pasture on
the Jesse Waldon farm, two miles
northeast of Traders Point. Their
Travel Air was undamaged.
Shortly after landing, Peck and
Genaro were given a physical ex-
animation by DR.. Roy M. White
head, fight surgeon, who declared
they were in good condition except
for exhaustion, due to the constant
battle with an impenetrable fog.
He ordered them to bed for a long
rest.
Both Cenaro .and Peck we're be-
whiskered, not having shaved since
they took of at 1904 a. m. Friday.
Apologies to Residents
"T wish the newspapers could ex-
press to the people Of indianapolis
our apologies for keeping them
awake Wednesday night" Peck said.
"we were forced to skim over
housetops all night long because Of
the fog. That was hazardous enough,
but it was suicidal to fly higher and
lose sight of the city lights.

other aspirants," he modestly de-
clared.
Among those already mentioned
for the place have been two OF
Judge Willard B. Gemmill and
Clarence R. Martin.
Gemmill, chief justice of the
court, joined with Martin in up
holding the constitutionality of the
city manager law.
Judges David A. Myers and Ben
iamin M. Willoughby concurred in
the Travis decision, which elm
mated the possibility of city man
ager government in Indianapolis for
which $4,000 citizens had voted.
Judge Travis declared that his
name had been presented formally
to the President recently "by
several admirers, but declined to
name them.
Endorsed by Coffin Aid
Among his indorsers here was
Clinton F. Givan, henchman of
George v. Boss" Coffin, who was
one of three attorneys attacking
the city manager law on constitu-
tional grounds before the court.
Givan asserted today that he sent
his letter of Endorsement to WASH
ington shortly after the city man
ager case was closed. He had ap~
peared in final argument against
the law before supreme court ON
August Is.
Givan denied he knew that the
Travis candidacy was launched as a
statewide movement about that
time. He said his action was taken
after reading names of candidates
already made public and that he
recommended several others, includ-
ing Louis B. EWbank, former judge
of the supreme court.
Boom Spreads Rapidly
The proportions of the Travis
campaign, despite its short launch
ing, is indicated by the solicitation
by telephone Of lawyer member OF
the house of representatives in Lake
county. This was done last week.
Correspondence also had played
a prominent part. Travis declared
he has received copies of letters Of
recommendation from many Of his
hackers.

Plane scrapes Tree Tops in
RefueIing After ALL
Night Fight.

Defeated by fog, the unconquered
enemy of mans flight, the Indian
apolis Flamingo made forced land
ing at Hoosier airport at $40 a. m.
today after 149 hour and 20 minutes
in the air.
The refueling plane was forced to
land at $40 a. m. near Traders
Point, northwest of the city, after
it's refueling attempt was abandoned
as the Flaniingo scraped the tree
tops.
All through the night the Fla
mingo and it's valiant crew, Lieu
tenants Walter r. Peck and Law
renee Genaro battled fog through
which they could see less than fifty
feet.
Neither dared to sleep during the
night, both keeping their heads out
side the windows, peering into a
solid wall of mist enveloping them,
wondering what moment they would
crash into a tall chimney or tree,
or Craze a housetop.
Cheerful, despite the failure Of
their second attempt to break the
