PLANS ARE RUSHED FOR PACIFIC HOPS Smith May Begin Flight to Hawaii Next Week—Cities Vie to Greet Airmen. By the Associated Pross SAN FRANCISCO, July 8. arations for flights from mainland to Honolulu rushed today, while the Prep- more the were Army flyers Wwho accomplished the feat were en route back by eamer. Capt. William 11 Royle, ager of Ernest L. Smith’s proposed flight from California to the islands, announced that Smith probably would take off next Wednesday or Thurs Smith started just behind Lieuts. 1 r J. Maitland and Albert Hegenbers er on their recent successful hop, but was forced to return because of a broken windshield. new man- Royle said a_navigator for Smith | probably would be selected today. Smith Sent to Resort. Smith's plane has been taken to Con cord air mail flying field, some 20 miles from the Oakland municipal airport. where the Army fiyers took, off on their suc ul Honolulu hop. Smith himself sent to a mountain resort to condition himself after the strain of his failure to take off, and the subse- quent squabbles among his backers over ownership of the plane. News was received here yesterday that Augie Pedler, pilot, and Miss Mil- dred Doran, school teacher at Flint Mich., would take off at Flint next Sunday en route to the Paci t to participate in the mainland-Hono- lulu flight, for which James D. Dole, Honolulu millionaire, offered $35. 000 in vrizes. Dispatches said the cou- ple expected to hop off from Long Beach, Calif.,, but airmen here ex pected them fo start from San F cisco, which is nearer the Hawaiian Islands. The shift would also enahle them to compete in the San Francisco- Honolulu flight, for which a $50,000 purse is being raised. Charles W. Craddick, former Army aviator, announced in Los Angeles plans for entering the Dole race, tak- ing off from his home city, August 12, in a tri-motored Fokker. @itles Plan Receptions. E. B. Koger, Honolulu manager for Richard Grace, movie flver, whose plane crashed ‘while he was trying 1o take off from Hawaii for the main- land Tuesday, announced that Grace would come to the Pacific Coast by steamer and entér the Dole race. Meanwhile both San Francisco and Oakland were completing plans for receptions for Maitland and Hegen- berger on their arrival here Tuesday next from Honolulu with the question of precedence between the two cities not definitely decided. Oakland claimed the honor to enter- tain them first because the; took, off from , the maunicipal airport there. While Mayor Rolph of San Francisco had a radiogram accepting his city's invitation, Oakland officials insist the fiyers promised to attend their recep- tion first. The San: Francisco pro- gram now leaves the afternoon and ‘evening open for the Oakland festivi- ties, but calls for a busy morning here starting when the liner Maui docks.

Part of Defense Plan. This flight, then, is an integral part of the developments in military strat- egy for the protection of our co: line, which is a part of the duties of the Army Air Corps. Another object was to obtain a thorough test of the performance and accuracy of various types of navigation equipment. Still another object was to test out in long-range flight the performance of the new radio beacon. For this purpose there was set up on the island of Maui a radjo beacon station operated b; the Army Signal Corps, which w to be in as constant communication with us as possible. This radio beacon was to signal our course, we in mid-air catchi the signal and from it determ our position relative to the direct caqurse. It was also certain that much valuable data could be obtained for use in the establishment in the near future of regular commercial air lines. The Army Air Corps realizes that one prime object of military aviation in peace times is to encour- age commercial aviation in the cs- tablishment of airways similar to those now operating in continental United States. Secrecy Was Necessary. A practical test of all our equip- ment would come on the flight from Wright Field to the point of take- off on the Pacific Ci . and until such time as we were certain all equipment wag entirely satisfacts and that the flight would bs made it was natural to observe secrecy This " is the reason nothing was made public concerning our plans, and even until after we left Wrigh Field this secrecy continued.
