ALL EUROPE AWAITS WORD
Watchers Extend From Scandinavia to
Spain on Lookout for Two Planes.

LONDON, July % (P0.-No news re-
earding the progress of Americas two
transatlantic planes had been received
in Europe at mid-afternoon, although
nearly 80 hours had elapsed since the
Moscow and Istanbul-bound ships left
New York yesterday.
Close watch was being kept for them
by coast guards in Ireland. In fact the
entire Atlantic coast from northernmost
Scandinavia down to Spain and Portu-
gal was virtually one string of sentinel
posts with observers straining for tndi-
cation of the airmen's approach.
The watchers along the coasts. how
ever, were not the only ones in Europe
whose keen attention was being given
various flights. All Europe was to a
great extent airminded today. There
seemed a general disposition to switch
temporarily, at least from preoccupa-
ton with the financial and industrial
problems of the hour to interest in the
number of major flights now In progress.
OF chief interest were the transat-
lantic flights of Hugh Herndon. jr.,
and Clyde Pangborn to Moscow. and OF
Russell Boardman and John Polando
TO Turkey.

NEW YORK. July 29.-Two pow
erful monoplanes, each carrying
two more candidates for trans
atlantic honors, were presumably
flying over the clear and calm
ocean toward Europe today.
The two planes, the blue and
yellow Cape Cod, piloted by Rus
sell Boardman and John Polando
and the red and orange Bellanca
piloted by Hugh Herndon, jr., AND
Clyde Pangborn, were believed tc
have been the ones sighted within
40 minutes of each other yester
day high over Southeastern New
toundland.
One Heads Out to Sea.
The Cape Cod left Floyd Bennett
Airport at 5 am, Eastern standard
time. and the Herndon-Pangborn craft
18 minutes later
In Newfoundland one plane was
sighted over Cape Race at pm. East
ern standard time. Another plane was
sighted at Ramea at 1885 and over Bay
L'Argent a few minutes later. At $3.50
pm. one plane headed out to sea from
Bay Roberts, observers said
Weather reports from Newfoundland
indicated the planes would encounter
clear weather, a medium wind and a
full moon.
Following Same Route.
Both planes were undistirguishable,
because Of the speed and great height
at which they were flying. 1t appeared
that both were following identical
courses, but one was 40 miles behind
the other.
Although the Cape Cod took off first,
It was only a 300-horsepower motor, as
compared to the 500-horsepower motor
in the Herndon and Pangborn plane.
