Jones, Fort Worth, Tex, aviators, checked the motor of | their White monoplane here today in preparation for taking off tomorrow ! on a non-stop refueling flight to Tokio | mnd a $25,000 prize. { They said they hoped to start about 2 o'clock tomorrow morning on the attempt to win the cash award of the Japanese newspaper Asahi for the first non-stop flight from the United States to_Tokio. The hop-off here hinges on the safe ! arrival in Fairbanks of their tri-motored | refueling ship, scheduled to fly from : Edmonton to the Alaska City today. It | is piloted by J. J. Matterns of San | Antonio, Tex. Under present plans, the Robbins plane will refuel over Fairbanks ang ! Solomon, Alaska. and on the Siberian coast. The tri-motored ship is to ac- company it across the Bering Strait. ‘The fiyers said if their venture was successfil they had a “sneaking hunch™ they might try to fly back again in | an enceavor to win a $25.000 prize | offersd by Seattle business men for a flight to this city from Japan. “If we do not attempt this venture,” Jones said, “we intend to fly across FEurope to Paris and ship the plane to New York.” i . | POST’S MOTHER BUYS | OUTFIT TO GREET SON R | Goes to Oklahoma City From Farmi | and Shops for Clothes to Wear i | | i ! at His Homecoming.

Post Urges Globe Airline Pilot of Winnie Mae Practicable for Com Finds Route He Flew mercial Use—Flyers Didn’t Spend a Cent. BY WILTY POST, Pilot of the Monoplane Winnie Mae. EW YORK, N. Y., July 3.—Now that the shouting is cver and that great reception which New York gave us is a thing of the pest, Gatty and I had a chance yesterday to sit back, draw our breath and get some of our impressions together » First of all, let me take this oppor- tunity to thank the city and everybody in it, from Mayor Walker and Dr. Fin- ley to the street cleaners who are going to have to clean up the litter we caused, for that magnificent welcome to us today. I don't know that we earned It, but I'll admit we liked it. Out West lots of people think New York is cold and reserved. But the; cannct be any warmer-hearted pzople in the world than those who welcomed us back today. Flying Still Thrills City. The reception showed us more than just that, though, It showed us some- thing that I believe is important in the development of aviation. The r ception was for the successful com- pletizn of a flight which could not | have been made a few vears ago and which could be made this time because such excellent equipment was at our commaad in wlane, motor and instru- ments. Frankly, we were surprised at the en- thusiasm shown when we arrived and yesterday when we received the city's oMcial welcome. We had wondered if, with so many fiights, the public had lost its enthusiasm. But yesterday showed that the public is still very much interested in aviation and is thrilled at each new event which brings the day of universal flying closer. Foresees Globe Air Lines. As to our flight itself, we think we really have accomplished scmething more than tearing around the world faster than anybody ever made it be- fore. We have great hopes that we may have helped bring the time closer when commercial aviation will span seas and the land and bring all people closer together. We believe the route we followed is practicable frcm the standpoint of commercial aviation. Of course, much would have to be done before it could be put to such use, but the route it- self, from our experience, is the best round the world that has yet been suggested. It turned out to be very much what we had expected, except that we ran into worse weather than we had counted .on. But the air fields which we found sprinkled around the world gave us good service, and fields established to handle regular commercial traffic would, of course, be equipped to furnish even better. So we hope that we will see the time when planes carrying pas- sengers will be dropping down on the elds and roaring across the spaces that we saw on our trip in the Winnie Mae. Blind Flying Proves Safe. We learned something from the flight. Any time any one makes a flight like the one we have just finished he is bound to‘learn something. We learned things about navigation and tested out fcr ourselves recent improve- ments in instruments, though, to be accurate, there is much more to be lJearned about aerial navigation than is now known. It is a young science. One thing I learned is that a man can sit in a plane, stay there for hours, be perfectly safe and get where he is going to even if he can't see anything beyond the instrument board. We did that repeatedly in this flight, and I would thick that the general public's just knowing that such a thing was possible would increase ccnfidence in aviation. Mardships Exaggerated. We are finding from the questions that people ask us that they exaggerate the harcships and the strain on pilot and navigator due to a long fast trip such as ours. I'll admit we were tired when we landed and we still are tired. We had only four or five hours' sleep last night after goirg on short rest rations most of the flight. But we don't feel any ill effects from it today. I'm stiil pretty deaf, but I'l be able to hear preity well by tomorrow. As a matter of fact, I could hear better in the plane than I could on I d it is the alisence of the motor's vibration that makes it hard for me to hear now. I was in_good condition when 1 started and I am now, except that my leg is still sore from kicking the rudder. We did not do any special training for our trip, but on the flight we took as good care of ourselves as circumstances permitted. We drank plenty of water und ate very little food—not more than one pieal a day. We ate hardly at all in the plane. That kept us fresh. And we are nct particulerly hungry now. We had no trouble keeping awake on the long stretches. which seems to sur- prise some people, and I think we actually felt better late along in the flight, when we felt certain we were going to get there, than we did on thg |early stages. We didn't take any in- toxicants. I don't use them at all. and we stmply did not need any stimulants. Future Still Unplanned. Flying is & habit like other things. It you get the hebit you'll never gel over it You would think I had had enough flying to do me for & while. but in three or four days I know Il be impatient to get in the air again. Just what our future plans are neither Gatty nor I can say now. We have heard all sorts of reports about things we are supposed to be preparing, new flights and the like. As a matter of fact, we have no plans whatever. both want to go home, of cours we do not know when that will be. A number of offers of various sorts have | come to us, we are told, but we have not had time to consider them and do not even know what most of them are. | One was an offer 40 go on the stage. !That's a joke. That's the last thing | we would do, We Spent Nothing on Trip. One feature of our trip brings us a chuckle. Here we've been around the | world and have spent a tremendous day |in New York, and we literally haven't spent a cent. We had $35 when we |left New York for incidental expenses. I had $34 of it and Gatty had the other dollar, and we've still got it. We never had a chance to buy anything. Of course, arrangements had been made in advance at all flelds for our gasoline and oil, and these were pur- chased on credit. But on our personal expenses were were treated to such gen- erous hospitality everywhere that we {gc\g got our hands near our pocket- | books. | (World copyright. 1331, by the New York | imes Co.

RADIO USELESS, SAYS GATTY. | World Flight Bares Need of Better | Navigational Instruments, | BY HAROLD GATTY, 1 Navigator of the Monoplane, Winule Mae, { NEW YORK, July 3.—As a navigator, our flight around the world impressed me with two facts. One is that instru- ments and mathematical tables used in determining position must be vastly im- proved. The other is that our radio was of virtually no use to us whatever. I had looked forward to the flight for a long time for the opportunity it would offer to study the practical application of the latest developments in instru- ments and technique of aero-naviga- tion. Ever since I was a cadet at the Australia Naval College, which I entered in 1917 when I was 14 years old, navi- gation has interested ‘me. What I| learned at the naval college I put to| practical use for six or seven years as a deck officer on merchant ships. Then, three and a half years ago, T took up the study of aero-navigation in this country with Lieut. Comdr. Phillp Weems, who is now an instructor at the Naval Academy at Annspolis. ‘This is different and’ offers more.prob- lems than navigation at sea because of the speed at which you are going and other factors peculiar to flight. Uses Bubble Sextant. Well, what he taught me I had a chance to put to some use in fairly long flights on the West Coast. Weems and I worked up some new methods for calculations in celestial navigation, us- ::g what is known as the Weems sys- m. In this system you use bubble sextant and an aero-chronometer. As any one who has had anything to do with navi- gation knows with a bubble sextant you don’t have to worry about the horizon. Flying over the Siberian wilderness or the Behring Sea or at any other point where it was possible to see the sun or the stars, we could count on the bhbble sextant giving us an accurate reading whether or not the horizon was hazy. ‘Has Mechanical Time Check. ‘The aero-chronometer is designed to offset the difficulty that the r-plfinsmfl of an airplane adds to making a cal- culation. At sea you can note the time of an observation by glancing at the second hand of the chronometer and remembering where it points. This is all right when you are traveling at the slow speed of a ship, but it leads to inaccuracies when you are fying. The advantage of the aero-chronometer is that it provided a mechanical check on the exact instant of observation. ‘These instruments are just coming into use now. The more I learn about navigation the more impressed I am by how little is known of the subject. The Army and Navy are taking up these new instruments and I am sure that they will be used universally as S e st tary found that it was more satistact to take sights on the stars than on the sun, because the sun provided you only one line to calculate on. If you have an adequate 8eb of tables, sights on the | i | | | | | | MRS. POST ENIDYS NEW YORK THRILLS Wife of Globe Hop.Pilot Given Unforgettable Ride Up Broadway in Auto. BY MRS. WILEY POST. (Copyright. 1931, by the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 3.—Broadway gave ' me my biggest thrill. It has all been nice. I've had a wonderful time, but I tiink that ride up Broadway—well, I'll never forget it. I have had hardly a moment alone with Wiley, so I don't know how he! felt about it. We were in separate cars yesterday. When Wiley started out, I'm sure he had no idea it would end like this. | He expected to make it, but he wasn't thinking about the end of it—the big reception and all that. I'm sure it didn’t enter his head. I know I didn’t dream it would be like this. Wife on Mis First Solo Hop. a He dreamed about thistripand dreamed 5 about it just like he thought a long time about flying before he took it up. We talked it all over. we were married. I went for my first airplane ride with ‘Wiley on his first solo flight. It was an hour and a half after he Jearned to fly that he flew folo. I was silly enough to go up with him. At least, in view of what I know now, I realize I was silly. That was in Maysville, Okla., when I was 17. It was six weeks before we were married. I have known Wiley since T was & small girl. 1 knew his mother 100, She lives fn Maysville now. She’s going to be ewiully proud of him. Talk Over Ocean Flight. ‘When Wiley told me he wanted to make this flight around the world we had & very sensible talk. I never ob- jected to his going on the flight. I have never once objected to any fly- ing he wanted to do. When he isn't flying Wiley is & man who likes to stay home. He doesn't care for parties or going out. He's & home person like I am. He likes plain food and doesn’t sleep much, But he likes regular hours. I never want to be a fyer. No, not even like Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I keep house, that's all. I don’t know what Wiley's plans are. I really haven't had a chance to tal with him, you see. But I hope he can get some Test. He needs it. We all do, I guess. MRS. GATTY THINKS OF BOYS. Reception “Gorgeous,” She Says After Ticker Tape Trip. BY MRS. HAROLD GATTY. (Copyright, 1031, the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 3.—If I had at my command all ‘the words Shakespeare used, I couldn't describe my sensations during my husband’s flight and this wonderful reception New York has glven us.

Post and Gatty have disclosed no plans for future activities. Hall, the Oklahoma oil man, who sponsored the flight, has said he will send the Winnie Mae to Oklahoma and later give it to his “lttle girl,” Mrs. Winnie Mae Fain, after whom it was named. ‘The future of Post and Gatty was a big question mark. Will they undertake another flight of a record nature? They sald they have not even ‘thought -about it. ‘Will they go back to obscurity, Post to pilot the planes of an Oklahoma oil man, Gatty to work wherever a navi- gator is needed? Who knows? Appar- ently not the two most concerned.

Few Radio Signals. Our radio, however, proved to be very nearly just so much dead weight. We regarded the transmitter as more im- poriant than the receiver in the event| of an emergency. We sent signals on it once or twice, once as we Were nesring Ireland, then again over the Aleutians, | but as far as I know, nobody heard them. As far as radio weather Teports were | concerned, we didn’t get any. Of} course, we didn’t have much time to nd cn a large part of our flight, | the part where weather reports would | have been of most value, if there were any they were sent in Russian, and we wouldn't have been able to understand | them if we had got them. The weather | reports are usually sent out on long| | waves and long-wave equipment weizhs too much at present to be desirable on | | an airplane that is making a long-dis- | | tance flight and on which weight has to be conserved as far as possible in order to carry large stocks of fuel. We sent out some signals while we| were crossing the Atlantic, but haven't| heard of any ships who caught them. We listened in quite a bit when we| had time but heard no weather reports. I doubt if we missed smuch that would :ave enabled us to make any faster me. Tries Own Drift Indicator. Because of our experience with the radio, which has convinced us that air- plane radios must be improved a lot if they are going to be of much use on such flights, I believe that we must look to_improved methods of navigation by celestial navigation. In time, I be lieve, this work will be virtually auto- matic. Mathematical tables already have eliminated much of the routine of calculaticn, but they can be improved still Yurthsrin Th:;eulbfl will be provements in sextants. One personal satisfaction that I had in the trip was the opportunity it gave me to try out in very thorough fashion a ground speed indicator that I have devised. It also indicates the drift, and since our drift while crossing the At- lantic was at times as high as 19 per cent, the imnofl‘ncte of being able to measure it was great. My device consists merely of an end- less film, cut across by fine el lines. The film is kept in motion at a speed synchronous with tbat of the movement of the'plane over the ground or the water, Observations are made by' looking through at whatever we happen to be passing over. A periscope near the instrument board enables this to be done.
