LEVINE CHANGES - HOME-FLIGHT PLAN Breaks Pact With Drouhin and Seeks Passage in Na- pier Whale Plane. By Cable to The Star and the North Ameri- can Newspaver Alliance. CALSHOT NAVAL FLYING BASE, England, July 13.—Charles A. Levine, to have flown back to America _in the Bellanca plane with Maurice Droubin, the tamous French aviator, has offered $10.000 to Capt. Frank T. Courtney to take him jassenger in the Dornier N whale plane in which he hopes to this week make the first westward =ht to New York. Everybody now what happened to upset veen Levine and Drouhin, Drouhin was to reccive $15,000 for the west- eement had sub- and Drouhin to the French who was d both Le vorable criticism by agreement meant that man was to forsake the Je in which he had planned the flight -and was. instead, be trip in the American Levine asked Courtney if he would not acc him as a pas- seng postpone the flight until about Ausust 10, when his Columbia machine would be ready, so they could fly the Atlantic together. understond Capt. Courtney Jering the possibility of tak- e as a passenzer. Under no circumstances, however, will he consent to a postponement of the flight Levine came here after he had bid bon vovage at Southampton to Clar- ence Chamberlin, his pilot on _the flight of the Columbia from New York to Germany, who sailed yesterday on the Leviathan.

Courtney to meet before the former’s departure on the Levia- than today. Before Chamberlin left, however, he sald: “I wish Capt. Courtney bon vovage and the very best luck. His is to be a great endeavor, and I am indeed sorry not to have had the oppor- tunity of shaking hands with him here in England, but that opportunity, I am sure, is postponed only until his arrival in America. “The flying boat has an assured future. Tts safety factor in flights of this description is immeasurably greater than the factor of safety in the land plane, although I do think the rangze of the seaplane is lesser than that of the ordinary plane. How- ever, Capt. Courtney deserves to have ®ood fortune in store for him, and, once again, I wish him well.” Levine is not the only American ‘who wants to be a passenger aboard the Dornier Napier. Capt. Courtney s daily receiving cable letters of ap- plication from people in the United States who want to fly back with him, although few mention paying fare. Many of the applicants are women.
