 FIELD LENcTHENEO

NOME, June 30. (P-Elaborate preparations had been made at Nome where the airfield had been lenghtened to assist the takeoff of Post and Gatty.
 The next stop will be Edmonton, Alberta. Tents and beds were erected on the field to enable Post and Gatty to rest while their plane was refueled.
 The flying time from New York to Nome was three days, four hours and 10 minutes elapsed time, or six days, l6 hours and 49 mn- utes total; mileage 1850.
 Gatty was struck on the arm and chest by the propeller in start ing for Fairbanks but fell to the ground, only bruised. On another attempt the rough ground noseo up the plane and bent the pro- peller. Gatty hammered it straight and they started Eastward.

 Despite two long delays in Sl- beria they are still ahead of their 1O-day schedule. Upon landing at Solomon they had covered roughly 12OOO miles in six days, 9 hours and 29 minutes and had about three days left in which to cover the 5000 miles to New York.
 Gatty's arm was struck by the planes propeller as he was start ing the motor; he fell to the ground safely. The propeller was bent when the plane up-ended III an attempted takeoff owing to the rough condition of the field.

TWO POINTS IF
 FRANCE DELAYING
 DEBT MORATORIUM
FRANCE WANTS GERMANY'S CREDITS PARCELLED OUT
 TO NEEDY NATIONS

WASHINGTON, June 30. (Ho) - Two points advanced by Franc needed clarification before the way can be opened on arrangements for the Moratorium by the State De- partment.
 While the optimistic insisted that the United States accept no com promise which might be endanger ing to the principle of Hoover's plan and the discussions continued.
 Acting Secretary Castle announc- ed that all the governments but the French had agreed in principle to the plan.
 Two points of difference are in'' volved in the unconditional repara- tion and those principally concern ed with actual war and devastation.
 France insisted that-san immed- fate end be put to the moratorium and Germany's postponed uncondl- tional payments be made available for use by France. The United States held that the money be funded over for several years.
 The second point France wanted in reference to the unconditional payments was that payments be continued and paid to the Bank of International Settlement and re- sulting credits be parcelled out among the. other needy European nations.
 America said that if the Reisch- hanks wants all credit it should have it.

TACOMA, June 30. (P)-Rever- end Charles MacCaughey, Meth odist Episcopal pastor, said he would not retract the charges he made that Governor Hartley par ticipated in a party at the last legislature which resulted in the arrest of three men on liquor charges.
 The governor sent letter to the pastor describing the remarks as false ard ffbelous and demand ing retraction.
 The pastor said the governor left the party at 10 o'clock via the elevator in the hotel in Olym- pia while raiding officers arrived by another. The minister sald he "has full substantiation of his facts which do the governor no good and he could hammer the table until he got red in the face about it.

FAIRBANKS, June 30. (P-Post and Gatty lifted their plane in the air at SPA Pacific time, for Ed monton after an all night stop. Post was at the controls
 Due to the heavy load of gaso- line he was unable to get the plane into the air on the first trip down the field so taxied back and Post gunned her. The ship rolled slowly down, rising just before the end, clearing a woodpile only a few feet.
 They circled the field twice, waved and turned due south. As they were lost to sight they had gained altitude and speed; ideal weather prevailed.
 Gatty's arm was paining him but he insisted it was all right and would be completely healed in a day or two.
 They installed new propellor while here; they estimated the flight to Edmonton would take about 10 hours. They make one more stop, possibly at Detroit.

Balchen was a member of the crew of Commander Byrd'S plane, the America, waiting to take off on it's own transatlantic attempt. when he saw Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis soar away on that fateful dawn.
 He knew the Flying Colonel" slightly then, but he shared Byrd's confidence in his success as to- gether they watched the heavily laden plane.
 Balchen says that if he were contemplating a jaunt over the north Pacific, he would visualize it as no more dangerous than the perils to be met in the great circle hop over the Atlantic
 But he doesn't at all minimize the dangers lurking over the Pa cific, in spite of the shorter water jumps possible.
 Rather he agrees with the Amer ican 'round-th world fliers who have made the Pacific flight and who say that uncertain weather is greater risk than that of fail ure in the plane itself. Jones Agrees The odds are far more in favor of Lindbergh flying the Pacific than when he started his dash for Paris, in the opinion of Casey Jones, noted racing aviator and chief of the Curtis Wright air service.
 Jones is we'll known as one of | the best technicians in air circles, and is an accomplished flier.
 T have just finished thorough inspection of the plane Lindbergfl will use," Jones said.
 We installed a 575 Wright Cy- clone motor last December and it will give him plenty of altitude. His plane is equipped with pom toonS and he has ample room for gasoline supplies.
 If Lindy takes the trip easily and is content to wait for proper conditions, he should have very lit tie trouble. His greatest risk, Of course, is in the weather" :
Seward daily gateway., 1931-06-30

Landing fields are few across the North Pacific route. The pom. toons will enable the plane to land and takeoff on water, and will contain additional gasoline tanks. The plane has wing span ot 42 feet, 10 inches, with a length of 27 feet, inches. It's fuselage and the cantilever wing are of wood construction.
 Broke One Record
 A year ago, with the colonel at the controls, it spanned the contl- nent in 14 hours and 45 minutes, a record later broken by Capt. Frank M. Hawks It's retractable landing gear, only recently re- placed by pontoons, made speed of about 22O miles per hour pos sible. It was an idea credited largely to Lindbergh.
 At the time of the transcontl- mental flight the plane had a 425 horsepower Wasp engine which has been replaced by 600 horse power Wright Cyclone motor.
 The low wing monoplane is fully streamlined in design and the ne zine is housed in a coWling that minimizes air resistance.
 He bought the ship in January 1850, after testing it in California The cost was $17,825.
 The license number obtained fol it was NR-211. That of the Spirit of St. Louis was XNR-211.
 More Costly Ship
 The price was in excess of that of the transatlantic plane which now reposes in the Smithsonian institution at Washington.
 The Spirit of St. Louis," ex- elusive of motor and instruments cost $6OOO, while the 225 horse power Wright Whirlwind J-5 radia air-cooled nine cylinder motor ant the instruments brought the tota cost to about $13,00O.
 The Spirit of St. Louis was stock model Ryan monoplane witf wing spread of 46 feet and fuselage 27 feet, three inches long The cockpit was glass enclosed ant Lindbergh saw through peri scope.
 But he used equipment whicl was the very latest in 1927. Ther were the earth inductor compass tachometer, bank and turn indica tor, air speed indicator, magneti compass, speed and drift indicator altimeter and oil guages.
 Carrying no navigator and with out a sextant, Lindbergh in hi Atlantic flight arrived over Irelan , within three miles of the point a which he aimed.

 With motor nearly three times as powerful and plane embodyng developments of four years of aviation progress todays flight appears far less hazardous than his first ocean crossing. If 22O miles an hour but since he has equipped 1t with pontoons it can make only 175 miles an hour on the ocean trip.
