bearing in the Sunday newspapers in Waterbury and elsewhere were made in the editions today follow ing disclosure that Governor Cross had not been quoted accurately by those reporters who had heard him speak at Fairfield. The Waterbury Republican presented the alibi to- day that: Investigation disclosed that at least two newspaper re- porters listened to the governor at Fairfield and both reported some- what similar story to their newspa- pers."
 Republican Story
 This was not the case as devel- oped by the Saturday night Asso- ciated Press report from Bridge port, however, which appeared in the Waterbury Republican with this Interpretation" of the fore going comments of the governor, as follows:
 Bridgeport, July 16-(AP)-Gov Cross first 'surmised' the million dollar Waterbury scandal when he was elected to office eight years ago but there was no opportunity for him to act until he had a Dem- ocrat for an attorney general, he declared today at the annual con- vention of Fairfield County Young Democrats in Fairfield .. :"
 Thus, with the governor remark ing that he did not refer to Water bury or any municipality in his Fairfield address, the news service story, and that of lat least two re- porters . with similar stories" .. came under criticism today as glar- Ing attempt to discredit the gov ernor for political purposes alone.

lantic just a week ago and then on around the world.
 None of that bothered the young man from Los Angeles. The only thing that worried him was to get away from New York without the government stopping what 1t would have constituted crazy, suicidal venture. So when he flew away from Floyd Bennett airport in New York ct dawn Sunday he told them he was just going to fly back to California.
 1t was 5:17 a. m. E. D. T. Sunday when he lifted the old crate of the ground in New York and, instead of turning west, pointed her straight uortheastward and kept going.
 Thought He Was Lost
 Airport attendants in New York thought at first that they merely had lost him in the easterly haze and that he would make wide turn to the west. AS the hours passed and no word came, they began to suspect the truth-and to worry.
 Then this afternoon, he Royal British airforce reported that a monoplane apparently marked with American registration numbers had flown over Newtonards, nine miles east of Belfast, Ireland, little after l p. m. (8 a. m., EDTC.
 At 2:30 p. m. (9:30 a. m, EDT) he landed at Baldonnel airdrome, just outside Dublin, climbed out of kHA r,aA 6iy1 Af fhA nld (ytYT- tiss Robin plane, and announced casually:
 I've just flown from New York"
 Couldn't Believe It
 The airport officials wouldn't be- iieve 1t at first. But they soon checked the registration and were convinced that they had been the reception committee for perhaps the most amazing jaunt in the his- tory of ocean flying.
 Lindbergh and Wiley Post and Amelia Earhart had flown the North Atlantic on solo flights be- fore him. But even though they did 1t years before him, they had better planes, better equipment than Corrigan had today. They had ships notified and on the alert to help them If need be. And Miss Earharts flight was shorter than Corrigan's, as she started from Newfoundland.
 Corrigan, however, wasn't inter ested in being hero when he put his old ship down at Baldonnel. Be- fore he would talk about his exploit at all, he insisted on personally checking over the plane that had brought him across.
 30 Gallons Left
 He checked the gasoline tanks and found he landed with only 30 gallons left.
 T feel fine and am not a bit tired" he said.
 Corrigan, who is 31 and has done many hundreds of hours of flying, maintained with straight face that he had thought all the time that he was going west to Los Angeles Per-

to drive down the road which runs from Teruel to Sagunto and con- plete the encirclement of the Loy- alist forces by joining with another column at Chilches, on the coast above Sagunto. The other columns began to cut across the pocket from the west toward the sea. Pursue Loyalists Insurgent reports said that the Nationalists were pursuing their advance down both sides of the Sa- gunto road. forcing the Loyalists to retreat to position beyond Viver. At that point, an insurgent dispatch said, many Loyalist troops were breaking their ranks and fleeing south of Valencia.
 The Nationalists claimed sweep ing victories. Their biggest, admit ted by the Loyalists, came over the weekend with the wiping out of a government salient into the in- surgent lines at Mora De Rubielos. For six week the salient had held back Generalissimo Francisco Fran co.'s forces in their march on Va- lencia.
 Italian Legionnaires under Gen. Jose Varela swept down the Teruel- Sagunto highway beyond barracks and prepared to attack Viver. Around Viver the international bri- gades, rushed to that front from Valencia by trucks, opposed the Italians.
 The Mora De Rubielos salient was reduced by frontal attack by Na- varesse forces under Gen. Garcia Valino. Capture of the tcSn was not important since Loyalist Gen. Garcia Valino. Capture of the , town was not important since Loy- alist Gen. Jose Miaja had moved his forces away from there weeks ago to the mountainous country about it.
 Italian Motorized Units
 The main advance was accom- plished by Italian motorized units which went into action at Sarrion, drove through Albentosa with tanks and armored cars and rapidly reached barracks, across the Teruel province border into Castellon pro- vince. Barracas was defended by a strong Loyalist garrison, but with the first shells from the Ital- ians' guns the Loyalists abandoned the town and fled SouthWard.
 Both Nationalist and Loyalist planes were active over the week. end. Salamanca reported that Generalissimo Franco escaped death when Loyalist planes bombed Santa Barbara while he was visit ing there yesterday Nationalist planes bombed Alicante, south of Valencia on the coast, but were driven off by Loyalist anti-aircraft batteries before they could do much damage.
 MussOlini Congratulations
 Rome, July 18- UR Premier Benito Mussolini cabled congratula- tions to Generalissimo Francisco Franco today in connection with the second anniversary of the Span ish Civil War and expressed con- f1dence that the Natianalists woulc be victorious.

 "Next a chap must screen well; that is he must have personality or be a distinct type. A lot of fel- lows can ride horses bl.. they must be distinctive.

him to make aviation experiments within the United States. He also failed to apply for certificate that his plane was airworthy and that he was competent to fly the Atlan- tic.
 Informed that Corrigan had land- ed safely in Ireland, Mulligan's first question was:
 "Is he all right?"
 Informed that he was safe, Mul- ligan exclaimed:
 "Finel"
 A few years ago, he said, Corrigan made certain overtures" concern ing permission to fly the Atlantic but Air Commerce bureau officials discouraged him.
 Our problem now is to keep other youngsters from starting of on the same kind of junkets," Mulligan said.
 The bureau, he said, would make every effort to keep Corrigan from flying back, Mulligan added, Be- cause you never can tell what an Irishman will do next"
 Uncle Has One Worry
 Los Angeles. July 18-(UP.-The clergyman uncle who taught Doug las Groce Corrigan about navigation that led him true to his course to Ireland began worrying today about how to get money to his adventur- ous nephew.
 "The Lord Be Blessed, exclaimed the Rev. s. Fraser Langford, at news of Corrigan's successful solo flight across the Atlantic in his nine-year old plane. T had a sneaking hunch all night he was heading for Ire land instead of California. He didn't say a word about 1t before he left home though, not a word.
 And now I'll have to get some money to him somehow. I doubt if he has dollar on him. He spent all of his money for gasoline. I'd appreciate it If Douglas could be told that we'll send him some money"
 The 3l-year-old aviator, whose parents died in his boyhood, had made his home for many years with the Baptist clergyman. It was the Rev. Langford, flying with his nephew in the ancient plane that cost $90O at bargain sale seven years ago, who taught the flyer the elements of great circle navigation. Corrigan, having only compass and no radio, apparently relied upon this to steer him across the ocean to Ireland.
 Corrigan Is Joker
 Dublin, July 18 - (U.P) - Doug las Corrigan, who was supposed to fly from New York to Los Angeles but turned up here instead, con- tinued to contend today-for publi- cation at any rate-that he really had intended to go to California.
 Impishly. he told the United Press:
 T thought all along that I was enroute to Los Angeles until saw some fishing smacks off the Irish Coast. Then I decided I must have got my directions mixed up."
 Corrigan, 8 close-mouthed tena- cious fellow who loved to get his hands into greasy machinery, caught the flying bug in his high school school days. He saved his money and took flying lessons. In 1887 he worked at the Ryan aircraft fac tory at San Diego and helped to build the famous plane Spirit of St. Louis" in which Col. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. Lindbergh un- doubtedly doesn't remember the se-
