in Marshes.
By the Associated Press.


TOLU, KY, March 1.-THE wreckage
of a swift Lockheed-vega monoplane,

Capt. Ira Eaker, Army pilot, who left
Long Beach, Calf, early yesterday on
a nonstop flight to New York in an
attempt to better the record held by
Capt Frank Hawks, had covered ap-
proximately 1,725 miles, when the fuel
pressure of the plane failed.
He scratched and bruised his face and
hands in the forced landing, made early
yesterday afternoon, and could not ex-
tricate himself from the plane for a
half hour. He said he was travelling at
an altitude of 10000 feet and at q rate
Of 235 miles an hour when the trouble
occurred.
The flyer walked i've miles to q farm
house, obtained transportation money
to the nearest town, and spent the night
at Cave in Rock, Illinois, across the
river.
Eaker's flight was announced as an
experiment in an Army search for a
transport ship capable Of keeping up
with pursuit planes. Army officials at
New York, with whom Eaker talked by
long distance telephone last night, said
at the rate he was flying at the time of
the trouble he would have reached New
York from Long Beach in 10 hours and
broken the record.
