 The same message said that land ing arrangemen had been made in both Greenland and Canada thanks to the good assistance of Iceland" |" His plane was loaded with 750 gal Ions of gasoline.
 The whole flight was somewhat of a mystery, for Captain Non Gronau indicated before he left today that he was heading back toward Ger many When he landed here last Wednesday it was at first announced that he was going 10 the United States and that the next stop would be Frederiksdal, Greenland. Later he said that he was gong to return to Germany instead, and German of fcials in Berlin also said they be lieved he would come back to his own country.
 The mystery was heightened still further this morning, when just be- fore the takeof Non Gronau re- marked:
 We shall probably be in Germany this evening"
 He refused to take letters for Germany, nevertheless.
 The aviator took Iceland by sur prise with his departure, paying his hotel bill last night and leaving the place this morning before anyone else was awake.

= Clarke, one Of Hollywood's most
astute observers, had an attack Of neu-
ritis and two Pekingese dogs when he
landed at the Metro-G oldwyn- Mayer
studio to begin turning out humorous
screen material.
Mr.. Wodehouse pronounced Wood
house, had the neuritis with him, but
the two Pekingese were at his home in
England. He would have preferred to
have had it the other way around, as
he is very fond of the dogs, and not
so passionate about the neuritis.
Before he sailed from England, there
was an exchange of cabled messages
between Mrs. Wodehouse and the Aim
company about the entrance Of the
Pekingese into the United States, their
journey to California, and their prob
able enjoyment Of the California
climate.
Upon his arrival In New York, Mr..
Wodehouse was worried again about
prospects Of getting the dogs back to
England without having to undergo the
usual six months dog quarantine. He
would have been delighted TO have some
one take away his neuritis and put that
In quarantine, or even In an attic.
First task given the creator Of Jeeves,
and other laugh creating characters in
English, was writing the dialogue for
Those Three French Girls" This as
signment saved Mr.. Wodehouse the
bother Of having to worry about letting
his neuritis or his dogs play leading
roles.
