MATTHEW'S MOTOR
 COUCHEO TWICE WHEN
 OVER ATLANTIC OCEAN

MOSCOW, June 6, How near he came to death on his record breaking flight alone across the stormy Atlantic, was revealed to Jimmy Mattern, Texas airman, here yesterday just before he took off on a continuation of his flight around the world.
 While cranking up and making adjustments on "The Peat Dog his pet name for the plane in which he and Bennett Griffin landed in a peat bog near Bor- isov, Russia, in a vain globe-cir- cling attempt year ago-Mattern heard a double cough.
 The motor resumed it's roar then coughed again. It was then 10 p. m. Monday, and Mattern had planned to hop at 10:30. But he calmly cut the switch and went to work on the gas line.
 In the gas filter, Jimmy found a piece of wet felt, large enough to have choked the line and cauS- ed a landing somewhere in the wilds between here and Omsk. He held up the felt, remarking: "Whew! I'd have had a nice time if I had hopped with this thing along. I'll bet it's been there since I left New York. The hlotor cough ed just like that twice over the Atlantic and almost gave me heart failure"
 The Texas "plane' puncher" put the works together again, checked all fuel and oil supplies and in- struments and gave the word to twist her tail. At 1:15 he was off. He circled the lighted airfield and then opened her up. At Khabar- ovsk, on the Siberian -Manchurian frontier, Mattern said he hopes to get about Is hours sleep.
