Levine, chief backer of their flight, over contract terms. w Contract Signed The dissension was finally set- tled, however, by arranging for a new contract that appeared a complete victory for the aviators. They sought and received assurance of protection for their wives in case of mishap and guarantee of all the money rewards, totaling upwards of $100,000, offered if they negotiate the New York-Paris non-stop flight. The aviators signed a contract whereby they Would surrender 50 per cent of the cash rewards to the Col- umbia Aircraft corporation, sponsor of the flight, but the Brooklyn Cham- ber of Commerce, which has offered a $15,000 prize to the Bellanca crew if they successfully make the hop, objected to this arrangement and de- manded the aviators receive all monetary rewards in fuil. ‘Wives Provided For The aviat also demanded some tween.
