Voigt Races “Home.” Voigt turned in performances vesterday, raced home with a brace of 70s to down Earl McAleer and Ha: Pitt by large margins. It came to Stan- difer, however. to uncover the bright- est streak of golf of a day of fine play. At the twelfth tee he was 2 down to Page Hufty with 7 to pla He then proceeded to play the nex four holes, including the ong twelfth, in even 3s, smothering Hufty under the avalanche and winning on the sixteenth green. In the afternoon he continued the | same hot pace, smothering the youth- ful G. Brown Miller of Chevy Chase, 5 and 4, registering three birdies on the first nine holes.

(FECHET APPOINTED TOHEAD AIR CORPS President Makes Selection. Change Effective Upon Patrick’s Retirement. Brig. Gen. James E. Fechet, assist- ant to the chief of the Army Air Corps, has been selected by President | Coolidge to succeed Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the. Air Corps, when he petires December 13 next, be- cause of his reaching the age limit. The President’s selection was made upon recommendation of Secretary of ‘War Davis. Gen Fechet was appointed to his present position as assistant' to the chief to succeed Col. William Mitch- ell. At that time hc was commander of the Army Air Corps in Texas with headquarters in San Antonio. Gen. Patrick, whom he will succeed, is probably best known to the public over his personal activities as a nat- ural flyer and from his knowledge of military aviation. He first distin- guished himself after being appointed chief of the Air Corps to succeed Gen. Menoher more than four years ago, by learning how to fly. He was the first man of his rank to operate an airplane, and today has the distinc- tion of being one of the oldest air pilots in the United States and the oldest pilot in the Air Corps. He will be 64 years old on the day of his re- tirement, next December 13. Among some of the notable achieve- ments of the corps under the direction of Gen. Patrick were the around-the- world air expedition, and more re- cently the celebrated good will air ex- pedition to Latin America.

C. FYERS I EUROPE K CREDENTIALS Chamberlin and Levine Stay- ing lllegally, but Passports Are Not Asked. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 11.—Clarence Cham- berlin and Charles A. Levine, although hailed as heroes for their transatlantic flight, are in Germany {llegally and probably will be in the same outlaw status in all the European countries they visit unless they can find time amidst the round of entertainments to procure the necessary papers. Levine has a passport, but no visa. passport, and I don’t want one.” Le- vine remarked, however, that no one had yet asked for a passport and he doubted if anybody would. Chamberlin is occupying a bedroom in the American embassy turned over to him by Miss Barbara Schurman, daughter of Ambassador Schurman. It is full of gifts of bottled beer, light wines, casks, steins'and loving cups; but in order to correct any erroneous impression that might be gathered from this, Chamberlin emphasized that, while he likes an occasional single glass of beer, when at home he does not drink at all. Says He Drinks Little. “When over here,” he declared, “I just sip enough wine to be polite in drinking toasts, and when 1 take a glass of beer I stand on that. I don't want more. It makes me sleepy, and, naturally, 1 want to stay with the party.” Levine voiced similar sentiments, and then came the disclosure that gold cigarette cases from Chancellor Marx and Foreign Secretary Strese- mann, bearing the engraved auto- graphs of the statesmen, are entirely useless except for supplying friends. Neither Chamberlin nor Levine uses tobacco in any form. “I was reared a Methodist,” Cham- berlin explained, “and I suppose I am still a Methodist.” Bath, however, appreciate other gifts that have been showered on them, such as big bottles of orange- ade, a wooden Las-relief of Col. Lind- bergh from a zealous master car colossal wreaths from the Naval Flyers’ _Association, the German Flyers’ League and good friends at Kottbus, but their highest prized presents are the silver-framed auto- graphed portraits of President von Hindenburg. Among practical offer- ings are a traveling phonograph, a medicine chest, an hourglass, com- passes and pills to yrevent seasick- ness. Guests of American Club. The airmen closed their fifth busy day on German soil with a gala din- ner and dance under the auspices of the American Club. They sat down to aine with hundreds of their fellow countrymen, who had come from nearly all parts of Germany for the occasion. In an address at this function, Am- bassador Schurman expressed the gratitude of his country for the r ception that had been accorded the fiyers, and spoke in optimistic vein of the disarmament movement. I say that in an era in which man- kind now is entering,” he declared, “a nation can no longer protect itself by armaments, but that the surest and cheapest defense will be justice, good understanding and_ mutual respect. The new age calls loudly for disarm: ament, to which it behooves the na- tions to respond with alacrity. If that goal is unattainable today, reduction of armaments surely is a_ reasonable expectation, which would be a happy sequence to the Lindbergh and Cham berlin air flights.” Talks With Woman Pilot. Chamberlin and Thea Rasche, Ger- many’s only licensed woman air pilot, had a long talk last night after the American Club dinner. They talked Reoaption hall, living room, dressing room, here is a handsome livable lobby. switchboard, about airplanes, motors, ocean winds and Fraulein Rasche’s desire to at- tempt a transatlantic flight. The Essen girl waited patiently through the dinner and until the auto- graph fans had had their usual inning with Chamberlin. Then she was ush- ered into a private salon where the pilot and other guests of the speakers’ table had withdrawn for a brief rest. Chamberlin, who had been apprised earlier in the day of Fraulein Rasche’s air trip here from Hamburg especially to see him, sprang from his seat and excused himself from Mrs. Schurman, wife of the American Ambassador, and Frau Stresemann, wife of the German foreign minister. Then he advanced with extended hand to the girl fiyer, who fervently congratulated him on the transatlantic flight of the Colum- bia.

FLYERS IMPRESSED BY OCEAN SPREAD Sea Seemed Boundless to Chamberlin and Levine in Flight Across. CLAREN D. CHAMBERLIN AND CHARLES LEVINE. By Cable to The Star and Ney York Times. BERLIN, June 10.—We closed our second article on our flight with night settling down and our plane winging east over the ocean. In the darkness of that first night of our flight, with the waves of the Atlantic rolling be- neath us, the wind shifted to the southwest and helped drive us for- ward, for which we were most thank- ful, ‘What impressed us most in those hours of darkness was to look down- ward, where we knew there was nothing but ocean with icebergs float- ing around. In the long twilight which preceded that first night we had seen some of these icebergs in the bluish-green water down below, and it looked so cold that we de- cided to do everything possible to keep our plane in the air and avoid falling into that enormous ice bathtub. It was cold enough up in the air, but down there in that water—whew! Even the color of it looked cold—it was a _bluish green, entirely unlike the muddy sort of color which you see in the warm water further south. Later we figured out we were OVNI' the Labrador current, which brings down icebergs and cold water from Greenland. BY “If we fall into that ocean it will | be good night for us,” said Levine. “I guess I will not struggle much.” And Chamberlin remarked, are two men more or less?” Humor Kept Spirits Up. “As we roared along up there in the air all sorts of things struck us as funny—we kept getting a laugh, no matter how serious the situation was. Once Levine asked: “Say, where are you taking me, anyhow? To Rome or to Berlin?" And he got the reply, “I don’t know, I shouldn’t wonder if it was Spain.” Another time Levine felt in one of his pockets and discovered that he had come away with the payroll for John Carisi and the other mechanics employed by his company. Saturday, the day we started, was pay day, you see. “T have $40 with me,” he remarked to Chamberlin later as the plane flew through the night over the Atlantic. “How much have you?” Chamberlin fumbled around in his pockets. “Eleven dollars and fourteen cents,” he replied. About 11 o'clock we began to pass patches of a fog, proving that our friend Mr. Kimball of the New York ‘Weather Bureau knew what he was talking about when he warned us against it. Toward midnight we kept getting into more patches of fog, larger and closer together than those encountered earlier, until finally the fog closed in on us altogether and we lost sight of the water completely. Forced Up 15,000 Feet. ‘We kept on climbing until we reach- ed an altitude of 15,000 feet, our limit with the heavy load of gasoline we were carrying. At 15,000 feet we had to go into fog at a temperature of 31 proved a magnet for all the Americans in.Germany and central Burope, who could reach Berlin in time and the affalr had all the flavor of a “home town week."” Forelgn Minister Stresemann, as a special mark of interest in the Amer- ican celebration, insisted on attending right up to the time for the departure of his train for Geneva, where he will attend Monday's convocation of the council of the League of Nations. Long before the hour fixed for the appearance of the American flyers and Ambassador Jacob G. Schurman, the hotel lobbies were thronged with Americans eager to pay tribute to their compatriots. There were many distinguished German guests also. G uaranteed Painting You can know beforehand that you are going to be satis- fled with a Ferguson job.

We thought we were goners when we saw the ice weighting down the wings and threatening to force us into the sea. ‘When Lindbergh struck the fog he managed to climb above it, but we couldn’t. Our only hope was to get down as fast as possible, into warmer air, where the ice would melt before we struck the water. It was that or nothing—regardless of the fog and of everything else. : Well, we dropped down and still farther down, with that deadly ice glistening along the wings of the plane, until we finally got into warmer air, which melted the ice and saved us from a wet, cold grave, After that little lesson we shifted our course farther south, as we had been advised that by so doing we should get out of the storm area and on to the shipping lanes. By the way, one of the cablegrams which pleased us most among the big stacks recelved here since we got across the ocean was one that we got here in Berlin from Mr. Stnarr and Mr. Kimball, New York Weather Bu- reau experts, and which read: Grateful to Meteorologist. * “For Clarence Chamberlin, aeronaut and meteorologist, Berlin: Congratu- lations.” This reply was Immediately sent: “Thanks for your cable. Levine and I appreclate your accurate informa- tion. We got out of the storm area in_mid-Atlantic by going southward, following your advice. “CLARENCE CHAMBERLIN.” Until we saw those two boats our ocean flight had been a lonesome ex- perience. Shortly before the fog closed in on us we sighted at a d tance the lights of two boats, presum- ably ice patrol or tramp Steamers. The second one signals showing they saw us. We hoped this one would wireless, having swapped signals with us. All through this part of the night we were dodging rainstorms while working southward towzrd the ship- ping lanes. Toward morning the fog lifted, and when the sun came out we were able to get our approximate position. This reassured us, since it showed us we were making good progress, despite the fact that we had wasted a lot of gasoline trying to climb over the fog. Reassured by Boats. During the early hours of Sunday morning we passed over two small tramp steamers, which indicated that we were holding approximately to our course along the' steamship lanes. By going south to the steamship lanes we had got rid of bad weather and had the advantage of wonderful visibility, with a_quartering tail wind. returned flashlight | JUNE 11, 1927. customed to the constantly changing panorama below /you—plains, moun- tains, rivers, towns, all sorts of land- marks, But now we saw nothing but ocean, ocean and more ocean, for hours and hours, until we began to wonder whether we were going around in circles. At about 4:30 in the afternoon we spotted our first liner, about 10 miles off to our left, and then we knew posi- tively that we were on the shipping lanes. We flew straight for that ship and dropped down until we were from 50 to 200 feet above it and read the name “Mauretania” on it It was then we got out our copy of the New York Tin which Mr. Lyman of that paper had put out at the last moment before our departure from New York, and we found that tifo Mauretania had sailed for Southampton on Saturday noon, which would indicate that she must be some 400 or 500 miles out from that port. On our charts we had the steamship lanes for June, so we could locate ourselves almost exactly After circling a couple of times over the ship, we flew ahead of it for a short distance, turned around and flew directly over it and along the wake behind it, taking careful compas ings that gave us exactly the we could follow to land us over the southern tip of England. Two hours after passing the Maure- tania we ran into patches of fog again, which became thicker and thick until they had again closed in on us entirely. Toward evening we spotted another big ship and dropped down to investi- gate. She turned out to be the Tra: sylvania. Again we got out our New York Times, but we couldn't fine the ling date of the Transylvania from she had salled after that issue had been printed. What we did find, however, was the date of her arrival at’ Dover, June 3, indicating that she could not have got away again before the. 5th—that showed we must be very near the Eng- lish coast. The fog was getting thicker all the time, and we began to get worried for fear we couldn’t see when we finally succeeded in getting over some. Then all of a sudden w let out a whoop, for some c cliffs and rolling green hills burst upon our eyes straight ahead. Land, land, we yelled.
