Cuban Cables Ar AVIATORS STAY INAIR OVER G7 HOURS AND BREAK SIX RECORDS Epoch-Marking Flight at San Diego Ended by Army Men After Raising Endurance Time And Setting New Mark for Distance. SAN DIEGO, Calif’, Aug. 29.—(By The Associated Press).—Beyond the statisical achievements of Captain Lowell H. Smith and Lieut. John P.

On this page Captain Smith and JAeutenant Richter began a new chapter in the narrative whose in- trepid collaborators are legion—a story that has moved two decades with dramatic swiftness, cimax af- ter climax. The tale is replete with incidents in which triumph and tra- gedy have contended. It moves steadily toward an ending that men predict and guess at, but cannot foretell, ‘Thrilling lines recently were com- posed by Lieutenants Oakley Kelly and John A, MacReady when they crossed the continent without a stop. The new chapter, while less spec: tacular, has implication perhaps more momentous. For Captain Smith and Lieutenant Richter took on in midair fuel for their DeHaviland plane no less than fifteen times. ‘They had accomplished the feat be- fore, ‘but only as a daring experl- ment that succeeded. This time they proved it practicable, durable, com- paratively easy, as schemes of the air go. Thus they established that planes need not carry great amounts of fuel and food to go vast distances without stopping, but may fly on in- definitely, to be met at certain air lanes by re-fueling and re-provision- ing planes. ‘The two airmen took off at 5:04:17 a.m. Monday. They landed as a fog gathered, at 6:19.32 p. m. yes terday. Time after time tho re-fuel- ing: plane coursed directly above the Ge oranceker. Fuel, food and wa- ter were dropped, and Captain Smith and Lieutenant Richter were able to stay aloft.
