But for the weather, the pilot said
he could have made San Francisco,
as he had enough gasoline left out
of the original 1000 gallon5 to fly
$50 miles.
Beliakoff, in answer to questions
OF the Ambassador, said, In Troyanov-
sky's words:
They think that the problem (of a
regular air route) is very much
physical. They believe that over such
q course planes should be equipped
to fly high-say at 1000 to 10000
meters"
They said their flight was made
at attitudes ranging from 1000 to
5000 meters. and the plane. not built
for speed, averaged 100 miles an hour.
Kometsky, telling Of the meeting
with Chekaloff, said: Il saluted him
and said 'Sdractrachi' (hello) and he
shook my hand. He then turned
around and put chocks under the
wheels Of the plant, blocking it."
The flyers. who had subsisted during
the flight on tea and lemon juice,
attended to Gen. Marshalls bacon
and eggs with appreciative, ravenous
appetites. They asked for coenac and
there was none. The general offered
them whisky, but they grimaced at
the first sip and declined it. A
search Of Vancouver turned up the
cognac, OF which they downed two
bottles.
The fliers were temporarily Quilted
with uniforms at the barracks although
the commanding officer was hard put
to it to find pair of No. 10 shoes for
| one OF them. Later a Portland de-
| partment store gave them street
clothes.

gratulations to Men.
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has telegraphed
his congratulations to the three Soviet
airmen for their trans polar flight to
the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt extended his congratu
lations through the Russian Ambassa-
dor, Alexander Troyanovsky, who went
to Vancouver where the airmen landed.
His telegram to Troyanovsky said ::
II have learned with the greatest
pleasure Of the successful conclusion
OF the first nonstop flight from the
Soviet Union to the United States.
THE skill and daring of the three
airmen who have 50 brilliantly carried
out this historic feat commands the
highest praise.
Please convey to them my warmest
congratulations"
At the same time. Secretary Hull
wired similar congratulations to the
men through Troyanovsky on the
successful termination OF the hazard
Gus night"
The State Department instructed its
embassy at Moscow to express to the
Russian government its commenda-
ton Of that country's flyers.
The Soviet Embassy here expressed
qualification over the cooperation
received from agencies OF the Ameri-
can and Canadian governments in
helping to make the trans polar fight
possible.
Constant weather reports and fore
casts radioed from many points both
before and during the flight were a
vital feature OF the service rendered
by American and Canadian agencies"
the embassy said.
A statement issued by the Embassy
asserted that The flight Of the Soviet
plane across the North Pole to the
United States was a elimination o!
years OF painstaking work in the
Soviet Arctic by scientists, explorers
seamen and flyers.
The chief task Of the Soviet gov
ernment in the North" it said, has
been to open to navigation and devel.

When they arose late in the day,
they said they would not go on-that
the plane would be dismantled here.
They added they would fly by char
tered plane late today for San Fran
cisco, in company OF Ambassador
Troyanovsky, who flew here to greet
them.

The flyers, landing after sleepless,

which the polar air froze even their
drinking water, were pleased when
from among group Of Americans
whose English left them stumped
they heard a young man shout:

Thereafter until guard Of soldiers
was assigned the visitors, George Koz-
metsky was their companion.
After their course had been picked

Russians arrived over the Pacific

wandered about in miserable flying
weather and few l25 miles south OF

northward until they sighted the bar

Kozmetsky, a University OF Wash

mates, Frank Allen and Kenneth

dents, saw the single-motored ship
alight and recognized it.
Chekalof1, first out OF the plane

him. Cautiously they kept every one
out of the cabin until a guard of SOL

The men, despite the long hours,
did not appear exhausted. although
they swayed slightly. regaining their
land legs.

Greeted by Crowd.
Soon the three birdmen stepped on
the porch and drew an ovation from
the crowd They waved In return.
Troyanovsky told the crowd that
he compared the flight to "the Lind

Col. Charles Lindbergh from New
York to Paris in 1927.
Several autograph seekers managed
