French Coast Guard and Navy Watch With Commercial Vessels. PARIS, June 24 (F)—The French! Const Guard was notifed today to keep a close watch for the twe Amerlcan alr- planes. The Navy and the Naval Alr Service also were prepared to lend a hand in case cither the Liserty or the Winnie Mae come down a: sea.

STOP 80 MINUTES IN ENGLAND. Refuel Plane to Capacity, Indicating They May Go on to Moscow. CHESTER, England, June 2¢ ()— wiley Post and Harold Gatty—'two young men in s hurry” on a flight around the world—landed safely at the Sealand Royal Air Force Airdrome near here this morning on a flight across the world, snatched a bite of eat and hopped an hour and 20 minutes later for Moscow via Berlin, with the pos- sibility that they might not even halt at the German capital. The fiyers took off from Harbor Grace yesterday afternoon and landed at the airdrome which is 6 miles from Chester at 12:45 am. (6:45 am.. E. S. T.) and took off for Berlin, which they pianned to make f a non-stop flight from Harbor Grace, at 2:05 p.m. (8:05 am.E 8. T). The airmen had about 700 miles to make between Chester and Berlin, Where they plan to land at Tempelhof Alrfield. 80 Miles Off Course. The Americans said they were about 80 miles off their direct course to Berlin and landed to get their bearings. They still had some gasoline in their tanks, but refueled to capacity before leaving. ‘As_they stepped from their machine to be greeted cordially by the British sirmen, Post said: “We had a right good flight. It has| been a splendid trip throughout. In truth it has been a real joy trip. The only difficulty we experienced was over a period of three or four hours during the early stages of the fight when we ran into bad weather. The rest of the journey was enjoyable and the sea Was calm. We are now well ahead of our time and are off for Moscow via Berlin.” May Not Stop at Berlin. Declaring that ‘they were out to break all records for a flight around the world, Post said they were anxious to reach Moscow by tomorrow and no time could be wasted. If their fuel held out, he added, they might not even halt at Berlin, which is 700 miles from Chester, The flight from Berlin to Moscow is 925 miles. The Americans were taken to the Royal Air Force mess, where they lunched and then inspected the ma- chine, jumped into it, rose into the air and sped southward at terrific speed. With them went rounds of cheers from the staff of the airdrome and atownspeople who had flocked there as goon as word of their landing spread. The Amsricans were in *h: best of #pirits although a little tired. They made & good landing and their machine ppeared none the worse for its ocean rossing. It needed no repairs. The *fiyers glsplnyed the same eagerness to be on their way that they showed in @New York and Harbor Grace. - They took a turn around the airdrome to stretch their cramped legs before they tdad lunch. » “They made a beauti’u! landing” #and an officer at the airdrome. “It was just like & bird. They have a wonder- ful machine and it looked wonderful. The take-off was ‘very sweet.' Despite their grueling flight and heavy load the ship did not hav> the slightest trouble getting into the air. It cer- tainly didn't act ilke a ship carrying too heavy a load.” Lost Their Bearings. It was not until the airmen were within 200 miles of the coast of Ireland Mithat they were able to get their bear- ngs. T “We passed through a cloudbank at . ® great height, s0 we swooped down be- «low it,” sald Post. “We were surprised to find water beneath us, for we thought' during the time we had been above the clouds that we actually were fiying over Europe. When we saw the sea we de- cided. to carry on until we struck land. Later we noticed what appeared to be ‘trossro-d.s and agre:d to make a land- edng. “When the machine came to a stand- still, we were surprised to learn we were L !

S. Grant School, on G street between Twenty-first and ‘Twenty-second streets, it was an- nounced today. Members of these organizations be- lieve that the school authorities have grossly failed to supply public educa- tional facilities for the section. Point- ing out that the U. S. Grant School is the only white public school south of K street and west of the White House to Rock Cresk, they charge that the building is overcrowded and facilities are inadequate. There are no playground facilities in the entire section, the organization says, except those connected with the school. and these are reported inadequate and overcrowded. Some residents of this section are forced to accept the educa- tional services of a private school, it is sald, at considerable expense for sup- plies, books, and the tuition fee, be- cause of these existing conditions. According to figures published by the superintendent of schools, a de- crease has occurred in the number of children attending white schools in this section since 1921. Indorsement of the endeavors of the Grant School Parent-Teachers’ Asso- clation and the West End Citizens' As- sociation has been made by the Fed- eration of Citizens’ Associations and a plea is now being made for the citizens to urge relief in this form through Con- gress, o Dies of Brain Wound.

Gordon Post, younger brother of Wiley Post, expressed surprise when iniormed of the fiyers landing at Chqnter, Eng- land. hope they are all right, but £ am sorry they didn’t reach Berlin.” “Isn’t that wonderful” said Leslie Fain, for whose wif* the plane was named “Winnie Mae. “I have been flying that plane all night. It's sure & relief to know they're safe.” Mrs. Fain, daughter of F. C. Hall, backer of the flight, said, never doubted that they would make it safely.” “That's fine,” Hall sald. “They didn't make very good time, did they? They must have had headvinds nearly all the way. On a farm near Maysville, a village about 50 miles south of Oklahoma City, Post's parents and a brother, Arthur, had pursued thelr rural duties this morning, confident of Wiley's ultimate success in setting a new speed record.

Miss Nichols' condition remained un- changed today. She was still suffering considerable pain from two injured vertebrae. She slept at intsrvals.

Dr. G. A. B. Addy, whdo X-rayed her back today, said she had no other in- Jjuries than the cracked vertebrae and @ cut on the right knee. He sald the back injuries were not serious bzcause the vertebrae had not been dislocated. ‘When the pain has subsided, she will be able to return to her home, at Rye, N.
