Written' Exelusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. NEW YORK, February 6.—If I were & man given to worrying, I would have worried considerably on this flight. I flew practically all the way across the continent with clouds so thick below me that I couldn’t tell for sure where I was. I depended on the instruments. ‘When I planned this flight, I did not intend to break any record. I had to g0 East on business. I do not like to wanted delivered in the East. He . mh:‘hu and I agreed to deliver it ) ‘Twice I though it was all over. Once at midnight, when we were riding above the clouds at an aititude of 15,000 feet, the motor went blup! blup! blup! and stopped. It certainly was a sickening silence. I knew what was' wrong instantly and switched nn the other gasoline tank. The one I was using had gone dry. I thought it was all right then, when suddenly the motor coughed once more and stopped. “What's the matter in there?” I yelled fo the mechanic. 1 was so deaf from the roar of the motor I couldn’t lell what he said, but he started to working hard on the pumo, which raised the gas from the auxiliary tanks into the wing tanks, where it would flow to the motor. Then the motor started again. It sure was a reuer I had thought: “Oh, Lord, now I will have to jump.” All Set to “Go Over.” I was going to tell the mechanic to [ odvl‘;n first an any fast plane in the dark with 400 gallo it It would have burned uick to think about it d it and run into bly took less than 30 lee'gndl. it seemed like & long time us. I kept on flying by the compass | h, never looking at the map on | which I had carefully laid out a beau- tiful course. I did not use it during the whole 18 hours and 21 minutes of second time I thought it was about over when I dropped down some where in West Virginia, I think, to try and locate myself. There were 6,000 feet of clouds below me and I had to fly that fast little ship down hrau.h them blind. It averaged 150 miles an hour all the way, but at times we _went up to 180, When I came out of the bottom of the clouds I was in a snowstorm. The ground vu m white below and the trees wel vy with snow. It was [y be-umu! alxht but extremely danger- ous for us. Toe Forms on Wings. Then fce began to form on wings. I began to climb up out of the moist atmosphere. Then I flew uo and down several canyons trying to locate mylell but I couldn't make sure where ‘Was, ‘l’hsn were only two things we could do. The first was to set the plane down somewhere and call it off. But the chances for a safe landing didn't look very good in that eountry. The alternative was to stick it out and make good. I decided to try the latter _course. So I broke & promise I had given my wife to always set the plane down under and who had charge of the labor divi- sion for the Ragubucln national com- mittee in the 1920 campaign. Mr. Fidler sald they discussed a variety of sub- jects, most of them related to the in- terests of organized labor. Upon leav- ing, he said that it would be folly to attempt to guess the name of the man who will be Secretary of Lalgr.

A little later I decided to come down through the clouds again. This. time I came down gomewhere in the mountain- ous section of Pennsylyania. When I got into New Jersey and looked at the time I felt better. Circles Field and Lands. I flew over a lot of towns in New Jersey. I don't know now what the were. All towns in New Jersey lool ny proprme action, lookin, reached the field I circled a couple of times and landed. I vore a parachute on this flight for the first time in years. I learned t0 fly in the Army in 1917 when para- chutes weren’t in use for airplanes. All I saw of land on the whole flight, except just before the end, was wl I saw for two hours just out of Los Angeles. It was a clear and beautiful night and I-could see the lights of the various towns shining up toward me. Then we ran into bad wcather. I flew at from 14,000 b 15,000 feet altitude practically all the way to avold the weather and to take advantage of a taill wind which was blowing me along. Last of Flight Slowest. If T had been smart I would have flown the last part over New Jersey ! o, at the same altitude and got -here sooner. But I was afraid that New York would be hidden under clouds and that I might fly on out over the ocean and run out of gas. I made the last hundred miles or so much lower. Grubb, the mechanic, who is chief assembly ms ic in the Lockheed factory at Los Angeles, was quite ill most of the way from the fumes of the gasoline which he poured from small cans into the auxiliary tank dur- the flight. never did feel bad at all My mother fixed some sandwiches and coffee for me in Los Angeles and 1 broufht them along.
