celestial and adio-navigation projects
which composed the major elements
OF research on our westward hight.
Two Courses Available.
At our option were two schedules:
One, to explore general course from
a mercator line on the south to q
theoretical line approximately $50
miles north of the Great Circle route.
This flight would require that we re-
main just over the clouds and would
involve variable head and beam winds
over two-thirds of the course. Under
the existing weather conditions, this
course would bring lis to Alameda IN
IS hours. The second choice was to
establish flight level between 5000
and $4,000 feet. run parallel to mer-
Gator course 200 miles farther north,
and coast through on prevailing west
erly winds. This course would land us
at Alameda in IS hours, normal
cruising speed
Because of the peculiarity Of condi-
tions, we elected to follow the FIRST
schedule Analysis of prevailing con-
ditions, plus the latest notations on
our weather maps indicated that we
should reach the halfway mark, 1905
miles, at 800 am, E. S. T., nine
hours out. Thereafter, lessening Of
the velocity of head and beam winds
should enable us to move north where,
approximately TOO miles of California,
we would pick up q moderately strong
wind of sufficient strength TO Offset
the 150-mile planned deviation.
Routine Strict.
How routine" this second flight
really was. is indicated in the strict
adherence to relief periods which each
member of the crew followed on this
return flight. There was little to re-
lieve them from their routine. With
the surface blotted out, flying well on
the steamer channels for the most
part, there was nothing through the
long night to distract attention-only
the carpet of clouds beneath, the moon
and stars above, the steady throb OF
the engines, and the vivid long blue
exhausts of the outboard engines.
The headwinds were all that were
anticipated. They began Immediately
we were in the air. They ranged, as
charted, from 18 to "a miles an hour.
1 can find blame only for q tug,
which, just as we were maneuvering
for our scheduled departure from Pearl
Harbor at pm, began to move
directly toward our take-off course.
In order TO clear, we opened the
throttles of Our four 720-horsepower
engines and cleared the water at 1853
pm. However, that might be, we
missed the halfway mark by the
same margin. touching it at 1852 am.

CLIPPER AWAITS
new FLIGHT ORDER
Several Days May Elapse Be.
fore Another Hop to
Hawaii.

BY the Associated Press.
ALAMEDA, Calf, April 24.-Ready
for another hop on short notice, men,
hers of the crew of the Pan-American
Clipper awaited orders today for fur
ther flights to follow their successful
completion Of the first roundtrip air
cruise between California and Hawaii.
Further flights to Honolulu are con-
templated by company officials to
sather additional data for the pro-
jected establishment of regular COM
mercial flight schedules later this
year.
But no take-of is expected to be
made for several days at least.
Completion of the return mile
flight from Hawaii yesterday after
noon in 20 hours and SO minutes was
hailed as definitely establishing the
commercial feasibility Of the trans
pacific service which ultimately will
follow an 8,500-mile route from the
Pacific Coast to the Orient.
Presaging the time when such
flights would become commonplace,
the Chamber of Commerce of San
Francisco announced it was placing
the Clipper on its regular list OF ship
arrivals.
The Clipper made no effort at
speed during its fight, completed in
a minute short of 81 hours, as COM
pared with the westward crossing a
week ago of II hours As minutes.
Head winds cut its average speed to
ia miles an hour.

AIR BASE IS READY
ATM|DWAy ISLAND
If Clipper Plane Had Gone
On. 1t Would Have Found
Facilities.
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD.

~ Radio to The Star.
ABOARD s. s. NORTH HAVEN,
April "a (NA.N.A).-Construction OF
the base at Midway Island for the
projected Pan-American Airways serv-
ice between California and the Orient
Is going ahead so fast that If the
Clipper plane that flew to Honolulu
had been ordered to make another
leg of the route the station would
have been ready to receive it.
While the station lacks considerable
of what the blueprintS specify for
completion, all the essentials are
ready. The direction finder on which
the planes will depend in crossing
the vast ocean wastes is now erected
and working. That apparatus is the
most important.
So far as minor facilities are con-
cerned, the crew of the station Is
already enjoying ice cream made in
the refrigeration plant, and meat Is
taken from the cold storage unit and
roasted in an oven which, now lighted.
will never go out. Water is supplied
from four wells sunk in the sand Of
the island. There is an abundant
supply OF gasoline and oil for r.
fueling of the Clipper if it lands in
the lagoon.
Radio Antenna Up.
The radio station, which is a COM
paratively simple proposition COM
pared to the direction finder, has its
antenna strung, and will start work
ing as soon as the electric plant
being built to illuminate the island
begins operating.
A Diesel engine throbs through the
day and night, operating wire cables
strung across the sands toward the
beach, so hauling in of supplies is
uninterrupted.
A temporary radio station permits
communication with the company S
stations at Alameda, Miami and Mex
leo City. All messages of the clip
per ship on its flight from Alameda
to Honolulu were picked up. The
station also keeps up running fire
of instructions with the North Haven
about loading of supplies.
Though part of the radio installa-
tlon, the direction finder unit itself
is an elaborate and complicated equip
ment. 1t is the first radio compass
designed specifically for ocean service
and is the result of two years of ex-
periments by Pan-American Airway
engineers in extending the range OF
previous radio compasses.

SAN FRANCISCO, April % (N.A.

justiiable conclusion to be drawn from
the completion of the first round

just crossed.

Flights Satisfactory.
The result of the flight was salts

westward flight, it amply demon

exhaustive analysis and expert prep

veloped organization schooled TO
function under the most exacting of
conditions, and these flights themselves
should not be considered as isolated
examples.
After four days of survey work in
Hawaii, the Pan American clipper
and her crew were prepared for the
return flight on the date set some
time before. Weather conditions over
the route were moderately good
clouds for the entire course, and head
winds for nearly two-thirds of the
way across.
Climbing slowly from the bay. we
rose steadily through the clouds TO
flight level of 1000 feet. Almost i'm
mediately the clouds closed in be-

LlTCHFIELD AND TORRINCTON TIE
 IN GRID GAME

The wild-riding Cowboys of Litchfield won their way into the hearts of football fans of this sec- ton by thoroughly outplaying a heavier and more experienced All- Torrington eleven yesterday after noon before big crowd at Fues- senich park. The game ended in a 6-6 tie.
 Employing an accurate aerial of- fense and 6 lightning running att tack, the Parlor Towners which in- cluded 8 number of local gridders in it's lineup, kept the New City aggregation on the defense through out the contest.
 The visiting club drew first blood in the first quarter when Billy Hoy- sradt, former Torrington high lum- mary, scored from the ten-yard line after one of his teammates re- covered a blocked Torrington kick. The local combine evened up the score in the next quarter. A determined push centered around Moosie Sarog seemed to be in vain when the ball was lost on downs. On the next play, however the Litchfield kick was blocked and Jarvis, local center, fell on the oval to deadlock the contest.
 Torrington performers included: Peasley, J. Zande, M. Zande, Jar wis, J. Sarog, J. Grady, Gagnebin, Radzevich, Beloski, M. Sarog, Mer- ritt, Tripaldi, T. George, Babe Kel- ley.
 The Cowboys lineup included: Joe George, ecraccil Scaraffini, Sonny Brenker, Louie Pequignot, Howie Williams, Billy Hoysradt. Julie Ge- melli, Bobby Barbero and others.

Meriden, Oct. 6.--With four of it's best players failing to put in an appearance, the lightAweighed Wa terbury Independents outplayed the Meriden Falcons in three of four periods at Hanover park this after noon, though neither team was able to score throughout the contest. Meriden, sporting a well-organized and heavy outfit, looked much too big and too good for the Indies, but once the game got underway the visitors speed, plus the kicking of Cemino more than matched the weight of the Falcon line and back field. A number of "hocus-pocus' plays kept the Meridn lads off balance most of the afternoon. Sheehan ran the ball from his own 40-yard mark to the Meriden 25 where he was blocked off by one of his own players, and later the visit ing team was held on the one-yard line. / Summary: s't-
