In succeeding years Doheny's

 FLIGHT IS NOT

AbN l Ic ASSOGIdltu I ICooB
 LOS ANGELES, Aug. IF, The real aim of Posts flight and Rogers actual part in it, is still not definite ly known. The venture was high ly secretive, but the prevailing belief here is that Post was enroute to Siberia and Moscow to blaze a new air trail to the Soviet capital for aviation interests in this country.
 Friends believe that Rogers may have been helping Post to arrange and finance his flight. It is the be- lief that Posts resources were lim- tied and this opinion was bolstered by the fact that the plane he flew was not a new one. The engine was new but the body was assembled from other used planes in the Lock heed Aircraft plant at Burbank, California.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, By a quirk of fate Congress decided to buy Wiley Posts world-girdling plane the Winnie Mae, on the day that brought news of the pilots death.
 The measure come up Friday morning during a regular call of the senate calendar and not because of any special arrangement.
 Later, the House also passed the bill, but because of a minor change it required senate approval for final action. The bill was to authorize the payment up to twenty-five thou sand dollars, for the ship which was to be placed in the Smithsonian h. stitute.
