In response to a question about what
his own log said. Mattern replied:
Hell! have lost all track Of time" :"
Asked the exact time he landed, the
flyer gave the same rejoinder.
II can't tell you exactly" he ex-
planned, but I was just four hours out
of Omsk when I found out what had
happened and I came down almost i'm
mediately."
Having left Omsk at ITO am. We'd

would have been some time after 5

Novo Sibirsk.

SELF" Mattern continued, although I
was SO groggy I could hardly stand.
Before I knew it there were lot OF
people around me, but I could not
understand the questions they were
shooting at me.
Bothered by Fumes.
"They took me into a nearby house
and by that time they found somebody
who spoke English. They tried to put
me to bed, but I only sat down a few
minutes and then went back to the
plane.
They have been awfully good to me-
giving me hot drinks and food. but /
can't keep any of it down. AS soon
as I get these fumes out of my system
I'll be all right"
Mattern's landing place was kilo-
meters (about 3 miles, from the little
industrial settlement of Belovo, where
miners of the surrounding Kuznetz
coal basin have their homes
To get him on the telephone it was
necessary to communicate first with the
manager Of the Belovo Telegraph Sta
ton, in which is the towns only tele-
phone line to the outside world, and to
prevail upon the manager to send an
automobile to get the flyer Some 8
hours elapsed between the time the re-
quest was made to the manager and the
time the aviators voice came over the
telephone into the Associated Press Bu-
reau In Moscow.

Feeling Effects of Gas.

after that he was my assistant pilot
/ No. l.
1 told him: you keep these boys
| from jumping all over that plane, see
and don't let them take any souvenirs. y
| He got that quick. If any one tells
! you these Russians are dumb, don't
! believe it.
The next thing did was to take a
look at my ship Just as thought
she had hit on her tail. At that 1t
was better than landing on the nose
| which would probably have meant a
quick and fiery finish with all that
load of gas.
I also discovered that I had cracked
my stabiliZer some more. That's where
the sheet iron comes in. But I'll tell
you about that later on.
A Lucky Landing.
My number / assistant put a guard
over the bus and helped me along to a
low, wooden shack which I thought
was a cow barn. But 1t seems that
was where they all lived. lay down
in a bunk, and then it hit me: I
might just as well have left that beef
steak in Omsk for all the good it did
me.
Was I sick? Well, you said it. After
q Dit felt better and l took another
look at the ship. She was there all
right, in small COW pasture and that
was lucky landing, I'll tell the
world
Half the population Of Siberia was
assembled, all pop-eyed and waiting to
heip. After a lot of talk they brought
out this sheet iron I've been writing
ABOUT and l began tacking it on to
the tail of my plane.
Dld l rest? Say, what do you think
ths is-a Miami Beach or Santa Bar
oara? I wasn't in any hurry about
eating because food and gas fumes
don't mix so well.
expect to leave some time tonight
FOR Krasnoyarsk At first I thought I
would never be able to continue on.
put last night in came a plane from
NoVo Sibirsk with a couple of good
mechanics. Today they brought in an
other mechanic from Kusnetsk where
they've got a big steel works. They
mad enough stuff to armorplate nv
plane If I had wanted it.
Looks to Pacific Hop.
So guess We can make Krasnoyarsk
all right even If I do fly kind of lop-
sided. They tell me that at Krasnoy-
arsk can get the stabilizer fixed prop-
erly and maybe have some sleep and
food.
I've sure had bad breaks so far. but
one thing I want to tell you. 1t wasn't
due to any fault Of the motor. 1t has
been running like clock the whole
way. But perhaps I should have worn
gas mask.
From Krasnowarsk I'll make an non-
stop jump to Chita and then big hop
to Khabarovsk which is where this
baby will begin to worry Up to now
l am. feeling pretty good, but they all
tell me it's the Pacific hop that is really
tough Well, the Atlantic wasn't so hot
in my opinion, and Siberia hasn't
proved SO lucky. Maybe I'll get bet
ter break over the Pacific waves.
Record or no record I'll tune up prop
erly before 1 start that hop. And once
in Alaska I am home. know that
territory-Ive been there.

At the earlier meeting OF the Demo-

should be made merely to instruct the
House conferees to agree to the Con-

providing an agreement with the White
House could be worked out. Committee
members said ! no decision had teen
reached regarding procedure, since 1t
was necessary to learn first whether an
agreement could be worked out with

BELOVO, Siberia, (By Telephone to
Moscow, June 8 (NANA).- Boy, I
am going to make this round -the-world
dash from New York to New York If
have to cover my whole ship with
sheet iron.
When I left Omsk yesterday I had
rested up and believe me I needed that
rest. The boys on the air field at Omsk
were fine, but l wish more of them
knew English. We had the same argu-
ment at Moscow about the kind of oil
and gas I wanted for my plane and I
settled 1t the same way-"Best you've
got. boys. That's good enough for me-"
The fellows at Omsk gave me eggs
and beefsteak and about eight glasses
of tea. They seemed hurt because I
wouldn't sample their vodka. I tried
to make them understand it might make
me woozy, but I guess they thought 1
was making signs that l was going to
loop-the-loop or something, because
they all shook their heads.
Began to Feel Queer.
When I took of from Omsk the
motor was working perfectly. left the
Transsiberian Railroad course and took
a direct air line for Irkutsk. I had a
tail wind and I was doing more than
ITO miles an hour although the plane
was overloaded with gas because I had
an extra 300 pounds in the tail to keep
my groggy stabilizer steady. On my
trip to Moscow the nose of my plane
had been down.
Suddenly about four hours out from
Omsk, began to feel queer. The first
thing noticed was that the skyline
was waving up and down. I thought,
He'll this is funny. Have they got
roller coasters in the air around here?'
Then I looked at my instrument
board and dammit, it was all running
zig-zag, too. Then 1 felt sick and l
got real Whit of gasoline fumes. 1t
was later that I found one Of my gas
lines had sprung a leak. Say, that
wasn't so good There was nothing
but miles OF trees below me. and my
head was spinning like a top. Then
away off to the right I saw clear
path and headed that way. I tried
fitting the old bus to get fresh air and
fight of sickness. Ask me how
landed and I'll tell you-maybe-when
get back home.
Couldn't Stand Alone.
Between the shock of landing and
the gasoline fumes / was out when I
got down. guess. because the next
thing I knew a lot of Russians were
yelling their heads off, jumping all over
my machine and pulling me all ways
