August 18.-J. A. Mollison, noted Brit
ish distance flyer, took off from here
at 11:35 am. (5:35 am. Eastern stand
ard time), on a transatlantic flight to
the United States.
He planned to make his first stop at
Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, and after
refueling to dash on Immediately to
Roosevelt Field, Long Island. Then his
schedule called for a quick turnaround
and dash back again, this time with
out stop, to Croydon, England.
If Mollison succeeds it will be the
first transatlantic solo flight from East
to West and the. first North Atlantic
crossing in a light airplane.
A big crowd assembled on Portmar-
mock strand to witness the take-off.
1t cheered Mollison when he arrived
from Baldonnel Airdrome, Dublin, a
short time before.
Amy johnson, noted British woman
flyer, who was married to Mollison a
short time ago, drove here in an auto
mobile. MolIison said weather condi-
tions were better than he had ever ex-
pected. with light westerly winds pre-
vailing to the middle of the Atlantic
and from there on a tendency to
easterly winds which would be in his
favor. Very little fog was reported.

NEW RECOGNITION
MOVE EXPECTED
Drive by Russia Before End
of Year to Seek Relations
With U. S. Is Seen.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

A serious attempt to renew official
diplomatic and commercial relations be-
tween the Soviet republics and the
United States is expected to be made
before the end of this year, when Con-
gress reconvenes.
Col. Frederick Pope, prominent
New York business man, who has re-
Gently returned from Moscow, has
called on Secretary Henry L. Stimson
at his home in the Adirondacks con-
veying to the Secretary of State what
is purported to be constructive pro-
pcsal from the Russian government.
Col Pope was expected here today to
confer with members of the State De-
partment and possibly with President
Hoover.
Would Renounce Propaganda.
The Russian proposals are reported
to be as follows:
Russia is willing to sign with the
United States an agreement renouncing
officially any propaganda tending to
overthrow the present form of govern
AiCAiO III VIC OAllISo 0tdSCo. ~ 10 ACdA-
lied, however. that these promises are
merely on paper, since the Third Inter-
rationale, which is officially separate
body from the Russian government, Is
not bound by the remuneration of the
Soviet administration. This matter has
been discussed at length during the
Geneva Disarmament Conference be-
tween certain members of the Ameri-
can delegation and members of the
Soviet delegation.
The latter have been informed by
the Americans that while the feeling
of the people of the United States is
no longer as bitter as it was some years
ago against the Soviet government, the
principle reason why the American
Government Is opposed to recognition
is that the country is not convinced
that the Russian regime is worthy of
recognition.
Would Ask Inquiry.
To this the Soviets have answered
that there can be no harm in the
American Government appointing an
official commission composed of legisla-
tors, Army and Navy officers and f1nan-
cial, agricultural and mining and engi-
neering experts to investigate the con-
ditions of government in Russia. If
these men, after an investigation OF
several months, should come to the
conclusion that the present Soviet
regime is worthy of recognition, the
Russian government would be glad to
enter into negotiations with the Amer
ican Government and give the United
States any guarantees that may be re-
quired of Russia to prove her good will
toward America. The sending of such
a commission will not bind in any way
America to recognizing Russia. The
Soviet government is willing to give a
solemn undertaking that the members
of the American commission will have
free access to any thing they may want
to see or investigate and that their
will not be handicapped by
government spies or other agents who
have heretofore made difficult the in
vestigations of private citizens who
have visited Russia.
