Girdling Flight

Yakutsk, Siberia, July 13 (AP)-
Howard Hughes took off from Fair
banks Alaska, at 9:O1 p. m. tonight
q a. m. eastern standard time) on
the fifth leg of his attempt to set
new 1ecord for round-the-worlo
flights.
The American airman and his four
companions had remained at Yakutsl1
only two hours, So minutes, after
completing their 2,177-mile hop from
Omsk, western Siberia.
Hughes planned to make Yakutsk
his last stop in Soviet Russian terri
tory He plotted a course of 1856
miles for Fairbanks, across the north
eastern tip of Siberia and the Boring
Sea.
(Four and a half hours after his
start from Yakutsk, aviation autho-
rites in Moscow estimated he had
gone 200 miles beyond the Kolyma
river, about $50 miles from Yakutsk,
and that if all went well he should
reach Fairbanks about p. M. east
ern standard time. Hughes course
traverses some 1000 miles of Soviet
territory, and before leaving Yakutsk
he telegraphed Moscow aviation au-
thorities his thanks for their cOopera-
ton. From somewhere over the Ber-
ing Sea, after leaving Soviet terri
tory, he was expected to radio mes
sage of farewell to his Russian
frjendS).
Leaving Yakutsk just go hours, Al
minutes, after their take-off from
New York, and with two-thirds of the
flight completed, Hughes and his
companions were far ahead of the
time of the late Wiley Post, who grid
led the globe alone in seven days, 18
hours, 40 minutes, in 1888.
Post flew a different course across
Siberia, but his take-off from Kha-
barovsk, about the same distance from
New York as Yakutsk, came 113 hours
SO minutes after his New York take
off. He had stopped at Khabarovsk
two. hours, Is minutes.
CReports of good weather were re-
ceived from points as far as the Ber-
ing Strait, but rain and fog were re
ported on the Alaskan side.
Hughes flight headquarters at the
World Fair headquarters in New
York announced receipt of a message
sent from the plane at 1922 a. M.
eastern standard time, giving it's posi-
ton as 81 north latitude, 1905 east
longitude, over the CHERISH noun
tains, or about 300 miles east of
Yakutsk.
(The message, picked up and re-
layed by the United States army sig
nal Corps station at Seattle, Wash,
said the plane was flying at an alti-
tude of $500 feet.)
