'+ By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, September 3.—The Question Mark, flown from Paris to New York by Coste and Bel- lonte, will be flown back from New York to Paris by Paul Codos, ! French aviator, as soon as Coste and his comrade have completed flights in the plane to Dallas, Tex., and to Washington, it was an- nounced today. 7 Codos will sail from France with a mechanic in a few days to be in New York when the Question Mark returns from United States flights. ‘The plane will be thoroughly over- hauled and Codos will attempt to re- trace the flight Coste and Bellonte made from Le Bourget to Curtiss Field. 1f the flight is successful it will mark the first round trip across the North Atlantic by the same plane. Will Leave at 8 am. Rising early today from the first vest they had had since Sunday night in Paris, Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte prepared to receive the city’s greetings and to take off at 8 o'clock (Eastern standard time) tomorrow morning for Dallas, Tex., and the $25,000 prize which awaits them there. Marred somewhat by souvenir hunt- ers, their scarlet plane “?” was still be- lieved to be capable of flying half way across the continept without extensive repairs, to qualify for the purse posted three years ago by Col. William Easter- Wood. Dallas millionaire, for the first ®ne-stop flight from the French capital. By the terms of the prize offer they must take off within 72 hours of their arrival at Curtiss Field last evening.

NEW YORK, September 3.— Having made the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York, Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bel- lonte were acclaimed today on In 37 hours, 18 minutes and 30 seconds the French aviators did what Col. Charles A. Lindbergh did in the opposite direction three years ago in 33 hours 29 minutes. At 4:54 am. (Eastern standard time) last Monday they pulled their little scarlet Sesqui plane labeled “2” off the historlc turf of Le Bourget, the field near Paris where Lindbergh first set his wheels to the ground, and 37 hours later they waggled its wings in greeting over the transatlantic runway of Roose- velt Field, whence America’s Lone Eagle took off on the road to France. ‘Then they flew 9 miles farther and set their wheels to earth at Curtiss Field, Valley Stream, at 6:12:30 (East- ern standard time) last night, behind them 4,100 miles of ocean and fog and storms, $25,000 Prize at Dallas. Master airman to the last, Coste flashed twice around the field in the deepening dusk, then banked sharply and slid into a three-point landing.

The prize is that offered by Col. Willlam Easterwood for the first Paris-Dallas flight, with a stop permit- ted at New York City.

Their faces were burned;from the sun and wind, and lines of fatigue were etched in the red skin. They fum- bled clumsily for the rungs of the lad- der with their feet. Their legs numbed by the day and a half in the cramped cockpits ‘of the little plane, they stum- bled toward the hangar. But willing hands helped them along. and they rode the last few feet astride the backs of stalwart mechanics, happy to carry so famed a burden. ‘Their ‘fatigue was forgotten when they reached the hangar and found there to greet them a tall, rather stooped young man, white teeth flash- ing in a face burned almost as red as their own—the man whose path they retraced. “It was a great flight, captain,” said | Col Charles A. Lindbergh, and al-| though Coste probably did not hear or understand the words he could not mis- take the meaning and his face lighted with a happy smile as he grasped the hand of America’s most famous flyer. ‘Whiskea through the formalities of a welcome from officials of their own land, New York City and civic organizations, and having broadcast thejr thanks and shoughts to the listening radio audiences of two continents, the flyers were borne swiftly to the city behind an escort of motor cycle police and put to bed in their suite at a Park avenue hotel.

CHICAGO, September 3.—W. C. Dan- nenberg, a private detective, directing Congresswoman Rulh Hanna McCor- mick’s “investigation of the investiga- tors,” was recalled to the stand today by the Nye Senatorial Campaign In- vesligating Committee. He was to be asked more concern- ing the strange woman he charged had been ‘“planted” in a closet of Mrs. McCormick’s hotel suite; more concern- ing the charge that operatives of his in the employe of the Nye committee, and for a more detailed account of statements that his wife had been shadowed and that she had been the reciplent recently of “wierd" telephone messages. Nye Denies Responsibility. “The hint in the Dannenberg testi- mony that Mrs. McCormick, whose pri- mary campaign expenditures have been under investigation by the committee, suspected - the committee itself knew something about the circumstances re- sponsible for his charges was vigor- ously denied by Senator Gerald P. Nye of J{ol‘th Dakota, committee chairman, and Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont. Dannenberg uttered no charges against Senator Nye, but made no secret of the fact that he was investi- gating the North Dakota Senator at the request of Mrs. McCormick, Re- publican candidate for United States Senator. Mrs. McCormick yesterday in a statement declared she was “investi- gating the investigators,” and demanded to know: “What is Senator Nye going to_do about it2” Dannenberg said Mrs. McCormick and himself had decided that the investi- gating committee or some one represent- ing themselves as such had had Mrs. McCormick shadowed. The fact that her office was broken into and robbed of certain papers, and that her tele- phone wires .were tapped led her to undertake an investigation of her own, he sald, to find out whether Senator Nye “was the sort of person who would authorize the sort of investigation she was being subjected to.” Investigators of the detective agency were sent into Senator Nye's hom State to interview various persons con cerning the Senator, it was disclosed. Strange Woman Found in Closet. “A strange woman was found in the closet of Mrs. McCormick’s apartment at the Drake Hotel,” Dannenberg said. “Evidently she had been planted there to overhear conversations. |, “My wife has been trailed during the last few weeks and she has received wierd phone calls.” He recalled that Mrs. McCormick's office_had been broken into, and he said Mrs. McCormick and himself be- lieved the Senate Committee might know something about it. He said that one of his operatives had been offered a bribe by Groh, described as a committee investi- gator, and had actually accepted the money, reporting the fact to his chief. The purpose in paying the bribe, Da: nenberg said, was to obtain inside formation concerning the operations of the Dannenberg agency. Dannenberg produced a roll of bills 's | and threw it on the table before the Investigators. ““There’s the money Groh paid,” he said. “Yow'll notice it is all Federal Reserve Bank notes from Washington.” Senator Dale called this “a very serious charge.” agency had been bribed by investigalers | SECOND ANDREE DIARY *DISCOVERED BENEATH EXPLORER .Swedish Experts Find Record of Expedition Wrapped in Undershirt. BOOK IS REGARDED AS MOST IMPORTANT FIND Only Skeletons of Leader and Strindberg Remain Intact, Professors Say. By the Assoclated Press. TROMSOE, Norway, September 3.— The day-to-day record of the Andree expedition’s tramp on foot over the ice from the point where their balloon was wrecked to White Island, where its members perished, is contained in one of two note books found wrapped in an undershirt behind the explorer’s back today. Its discovery was announced by | experts who examined the body. The experts said the book was the most important find yet made in con- nection with the record of the expedi- tion. The other note book, which Andree lay down upon when dying and | protected with his body even in death, | contains only some geographical ob- i | servations. These are on the first pages and the res{ of the book is blank. Organic Parts Deteriorated. A formal statement issued by the experts, Swedish Profs. Hedren and Lithberg, says that only the skeletons | of the bodies of Andree and Strindberg remain intact. The organic parts were very much deteriorated and the cloth- ing, though fairly wei! preserved, had been much torn, probably by animals. “After the remains of the Andree ex- pedition had been transferred to the hospital at Tromsoe,” the statement | says, “the experts began their work at |1 p.m. Tuesday. I | “Simultaneously were transferred to Jthe hospital such belongings aboard the Bratvaag as the sledge, the canvas |boat with its contents and objects found in Andree's camp on White Island, including the log book and the diary found in the inner pocket of Andree's Jacket. “So far the remains of two men have been found. The organic parts are very deteriorated, but some of the garments | are more or less fully preserved. “From {he initials on ‘he clothes it emerges that these two men are the expedition’s chief, Salomon August An- dree, and his scientific assistant, Nils Strindberg. | Tq Photograph Bodies. | _“Only the skeletons of Andree’s and Strindberg’s bodies remain.

This book is the most important thus far found to tell of the fate of the Andrce expedition.” ‘The two bodies found by Dr. Gunnar Horn last month were definitely identi~ fied as those of Andree and Strindberg, handsome youthful companion, who followed into the Arctic and preceded him in death, A group of bones which, it was thought. were ‘those of the third man in the Andree expedition of 1897, Knut Frankel, were found not to be those of a man at all, but of a polar bear, ssibly one which Andree and Strind- berg killed for food in_ the days pre- eding their demise on Hvitvoen. What Happened to Frankel? Speculation as to what happened to Frankel developed. several possible’ solu- tions. He may have died in the descent of the balloon at latitude 83 north, about 180 miles north of White Island and about 470 miles from the North Pole; he may not have survived the long trek back across the ice from the place of descent to the island haven, | either dying of exhaustion or falling into an ice crevice; or his body may still be off White Island, covered by the snow and ice which kept the bodies of Andree and Strindberg hidden for 33 | years. There has been considerable discus~ slon here of the value of another ex- | pedition to Hvitvoen to reclaim possible |other relics of the expedition and to make a search for Frankel’s remains.’ It is felt generally that success of such an expedition would be problematical, since sume snow already has fallen, and even slightly adverse weather condi- | tions made the island, which is east of | Spitzbergen, unapproachable. It may be years before as favorable conditions as existed this year and led to the Horn discovery exist again. 3 (Copyrisht, 1930.
