MACREADY, KELLY AND T-2 EXCEED WILDEST FANCY OF PLANEINVENTOR (Continued from rst Pag: s attempting to establish a new record for duration of flight and an attempt to fly around the world. Plane Is Old One. The plane they flew in to San Diego vesterday was the same they had |used in two previous attempts to {crose the American continent with- {out a stop, the first of which was halted by a fog which prevented them from finding thetr way through the mountain passes ecast of here, and [the second of iwhich terminated |through a failure of their engine at i Indianapolis last November. Both these attempts, however, re- sulted in record performances, for the aviators turned the first one Into an attempt_for a record for sustained flight. They circled above San Diego jand its environs for thirty-five hours, { elghteen minutes and thirty seconds, | | exceeding by more than nine hours {the best previous mark. Officlal ac- | ceptance of this mark as an interna- ! tional record was withheld because of ! technicalities, though there was no question that the aviators had re- mained aloft for the time stated. Second Trip Fal The second attempt also had its start from Rockwell Field. In it the fliers drove eastward as far as In- dianapolis. where they landed only after they had used everything avail- able in the plane to keep their en- gine cool. even pouring into ita ra- diator system the milk and roflze‘ from thelr provisions to replace the | water that had leaked out through !cracks in the engine's cylinder jack- jets. The aviators were given such a greeting here on their arrival as comes to few men. San Dicgans, one by nativity and the other by adop- | tion, the city took them to her heart with unanimous acclaim. Although the big T-2 landed in the middle of the flield, the crowd that gathered was so large and pressed so close to the aviators that by the time Maj. Henry A. Arnold, commandant of the field, arrived he had to fight his way through. | i | President Wires. “You have accomplished the im- possible,” Maj. Arnold declared in his enthusiasm and his words found echoes from every quarter of the country in telegrams, including one from President Harding, which read: “You have written a new chapter {in the trlumphs of American avia- tion.” Both the aviators were In good physical condition when they landed. Except for a few spatterings of ol trom the Liberty engine that had brought them a greater distance than any persons have ever flown pre- viously in one continueus flight, they were seemingly as fresh on landing as If they had taken an hours jaunt. They began telling newspaper men how they planned to try for new and more alficult records. The story of the flight was told by the men who made it in & matter-of- fact way with first one and then the other putting in a sentence or a word to illuminate some “point as they alternately carried on the description. There was the start, when the hangars at Hempstead were missed only by inches. There was difficulty in getting the motor's full power into play for the first féew hundred miles and the thrill MacReady described when they ran into a mam- fmoth beacon light at Bellevue, III, plercing the clouds and darkness to guide them on their way.

Arnold declared the record set by Kelly and MacReady demonstrated the feasibility of commercial air-lines across the continent. Passengers, he said, could be carrfed a distance in one day which the fastest passenger trains require five to cover. The two aviators, as a result of their new record, are richer by $2,500 each. A telegram from Maj. Gen Mason Patrick, chief of the air serv- ice, informed them that Col. Frank- lin' R. Kenney, a former air service officer, had won a wager of $5.000 o their flight, and offered it to the ers with his compliments. The lieu nts replied: ccept with pleasure if it is no dream. You know us lieutenants. Both airmen were enthusiastic in their praise of the weather bureau for its accurate forecast of what conditions might be encountered on the trip. “We are indebted to a marked de- gree” said Kelly, “to the weather bureau for the success of our flight.

In 1920 campaign he declared for law enforcement, but did not dls- cuss the subject in detail. If called upon in the next campaign, however, to defend the record of enforcement and the plans for further enforcement of existing law, the executive will be found ready to take up the challenge. There is reason to believe, however, that the Anti-Saloon League and other “dry” organizations are well pleased with Mr. Harding's position and that they will give him their fullest support, particularly if there is the slightest moistness about the democratic platform or nominee for the presidency. The “drys” have wanted the admin- istration to be more eflicient about stopping the rum runners and they have encountered all sorts of red tape, but at last they have made an impression on the President and the plans now in the making will mean as rigid enforcement as the resources of the government can bring about. All doubt about Mr. Harding's atti- is removed—he is absolutely committed to the dry side and wiil not waver. The democrats have. on the other hand, been talking a good deal about the chances of capitalizing the wet sentiment in such states as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other populous sections of the coun- try, where the electoral vote is big and when combined with the elec- toral votes of the south can furnish the needed majority to win.
