He apologized both for himself and
his daughter.

morning business was again prac-

RECORD
FOR HOP To
MEXICO CITY

UNION AIR TERMINAL, Bur-
bank, Calf, March 6. UR-Leland
S. Andrews, veteran airmail pilot
who recently broke the cross coun-
try transport record, took off at
SOP a. m. psf today in an attempt
to set Los Angeles Mexico City rec
ord.
Flying the same plane in which
ne set record of 10 hours, % min
ltes between here and Washington,
DC, Andrews carried five passen-
gets in the Vultee transport.
The passengers were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gerard Vultee, Col. c. Julian
Velarde of the Mexican army, Ar
thur Holiday, Los Angeles business
man, and Chief James E. Davis of
the Los Angeles police department.
Vultee is the designer of the plane
in which the record attempt is be-
ing made. He and the former Sylvia
Parker of Beverly Hills we're mar
RED recently and the flight is a
honeymoon trip for them.
The plane made a long run and
gracefully took the air with its
heavy load. In addition to regular
fuel tanks, extra tanks had been in
stalled in the forward end of the
nine-passenger plane.
The flight originally had been
planned for last Sunday but unfa-
vorable weather let TO its postpone
ment until today.
Andrews said prior to his depar-
ture that he hoped to reach the
Mexican capital in nine hours or
less. Mexico City is 1910 miles from
here. With a tail wind, Andrews
said, the plane was capable of MAX
ing 240 miles an hour. No reports
on the planes position will be
available during the flight, as there
was no radio operator along.
Because no official Los Angeles
Mexico City record exists, a Nation
n Aeronauttical Association timer,
Joe Nikrent, started the plane. A
barograph TO record attitudes at
which the plane flies was placed in
the cabin by Nikrent just before the
take-off. A5e,a
Col Velarde, close friend of Pre-
sident Cardenas OF q. Mexico, said
that the flight was attracting much
interest in Mexico City and that he
was informed the President probab-
ly would head an official welcom-
ing party.
