took emergency rations-tins of bis

The wings of the plane were stuffed
with table tennis balls to afford buoy
ancy in event he should be forced
down.
A life preserver will be his only
safety equipment If he is forced down
at sea. but he figured the plane would
float six or seven days.
Weather Bureau officials said his
flight up the Maine coast to st. Johns,
Newfoundland, would be through ex-
cellent weather conditions, with mild
cross-winds.
Of Cape Race, however, cold west
erly winds, with the temperature at
the freezing point in the zone where
he probably will fly. Rain also may
be encountered, adding to the hazards
over a stretch of about 800 miles.
Favorable west winds were forecast
for much of his long oversee hop to a
point some 400 miles west of Ireland,
where he is likely to encounter stiff
headwinds that probably will slow up
his speed. Similar conditions, OFF,
cials said. would face him as he flies
over England and on to Stockholm.
Arthur Huntington, who plotted the
course Bjorkvall will fly, said the
plane had cruising speed Of around
1l0 to 100 miles an hour.
The plane, called the Pacemaker,
carried only a wireless receiving set
and no sending equipment. Weather
reports are to be broadcast to him at
regular intervals until he reaches a
point near the Irish Coast, where he
will adjust his equipment to hear from
European stations along the route.
Bjorkvall climbed into the cockpit OF
his plane at 7::20 o'clock, waved good
by to the several hundred persons
gathered to watch the take-of and
began warming up the motor.
There was a bright sun and clear
skies as he began the run down the
long concrete strips of the airport. He
made a perfect take-off, the plane lift
ing its 5000 pounds gently into the air.

nominee added to a press conference

candidate said. 'All public records,

Meanwhile immigration, relief, farm
and st. Lawrence waterway problems
shared Gov. Landon's attention to-
gether with fresh speaking arrange
ments for his fourth major campaign
swing starting Thursday.
With the election four weeks from
today, the Republican presidential
nominee explored phases of the relief
problem hinging upon the illegal resi-
dence of aliens in the United States
with Edwin Corsi. former immigration
commissioner at Ellis Island.
Corsi told reporters he recommended
"humanization" of the immigration
laws and establishment Of a nom
partisan board to administer relief.
Deportation of alien heads Of fam
lilies, he said, often threw their Amer
ican-born families upon relief.
Promises to Study Plea.
After conferring with Landon, Corsi
said the candidate had promised con-
sideration of his plea for amendment
of the present mandatory deportation
law to prevent injustices and to give
the President or a member OF his
cabinet discretionary power in ap-
peals of deserving cases"
Corsi, a Republican who was reap
pointed by President Roosevelt, re-
signed and became a director of the
Home Relief Bureau under the Fusion
administration in New York.
Delegations interested in the St
Lawrence waterway and the Midwest
