 Word was sent to Marshfield Army headquarters and officers of the first wing of the army air force were dispatched to the scene of the ladding. The plane was reported undamaged.
 The fliers evidently were trying to make Marchfield when they landed. It was the longest flight record for distance, covering little less than 67OO miles in sixty two hours.
 When the Russian polar plane flight ended here, the Russian crew of three were unable to talk to the country folk, so authorities communicated with army officers at Marshfield. A cordon was es- tablished about the pasture to protect the plane from the curious crowds which soon began to ar rive from everywhere.
