Up to that point in their history- making flight in 1931, Post and Gatty's elapsed time from Roosevelt Field was 74 hours and 9 minutes. Instead of stopping at the Siberian city, Pest and Gatty flew on 400 miles to land at Novo-Sibirsk with an elapsed time of 76 hours and 36 min- utes. That same day the pair pro- ceeded to Irkutsk, landing with an elapsed time of 91 hours and 59 Mattern thus has 18 hours and 44 minutes to catch what rest he needs at Omsk and fly the 1,250 miles to Irkutsk in time to. equal the Post- Gatty record to Irkutsk. Mattern cabled his friend and backer, Harry B. Jameson of Chicago, who is staying here, just before he took off from Moscow yesterday. The message said: “Peeling great health, still traveling east, hope drop in on you soon, regards.” The message was not sent from the Soviet capitel for more than an hour after the fiyer had left. That Mattern had gone on a “sleep diet” in preparation for his flight around the world was disclosed today by associates. | Jack Clark, Mattern’s representative | here, said for the last two weeks Mat- | tern had slept no more than five hours a day and had varied his time for sleep entirely around the clock. He explained this was done to accustom the fiyer to sleeping at any time ‘the opportunity arose in addition to getting along with as little sleep as possible. REPAIRS DELAY TAKE-OFF. More Than 9 Hours Required for Serv- icing Plane in Moscow. MOSCOW, June 6 (#).—James Mat- tern hopped off from here at 1:14 a.m. (5:14 p.m. Monday, Eastern standard time) on the fourth leg of his attempt to hang up a new world-circling speed record. The American aviator slept only 2 hours after his arrival yesterday after- noon from Oslo, Norway, but was forced to remain here 9 hours and 17 minutes because of delays in servicing his plane. Despite the delay occasioned by the necessity of repairing two tears appar- ently resulting from ice that formed during the transatlantic leg, Mattern was 5 hours 15 minutes up on the rec- ord established in 1931 by two other in- be a program of sports from 3 o'clock on, wgu:h includes a golf tournament with a trophy, a series of tennis matches, an outdoor base ball game with an indoor base ball and swimming in the pool.

These should communicate with Gale McLean, secretary, 73 ith street northwest, telephone District 6830. Arrangements have been made by the committee in charge for non-members of the Chevy Chase Club to have the use of the club faeilities after 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. It was stated incorrectiy in one edi- tion of The Star yesterday that the dinner would be held this evening. e 439 RELIEF PLEAS IN MAY Applications Handled by Commu- nity Chest During Last Month. ‘The application bureau of the Com- munity Chest handled 439 pleas for relief during May, according to Miss Adelaide Barker, secretary of the bu- reau. Of these 207 were new cases not previdusly known to the bureau, ‘while 64 had been there before and 78 had applied more than once during the month. Of the applicants, 329 were ‘white.

Just as g we were about to re-enter the house we heard a cry. Drawing his gun and- fiashlight, the professor dashed down the drive and found Doyle picking nimself up. His motor cycle lay on the opposite side of the road. “Fordney quickly discovered that some one (one of my guests presumably) had tied a rope across the drive. Doyie didn't see it in time and it threw him, smashing his headlight but doing no other damage to the machine. He told the professor that as he staggered to his feet a man jumped out of the bushes and tried to strangie him. The only description he could give of his assail- ant was that he was short—about 5 feet 6, dressed in evening clothes, wore a black felt hat, and had a large dia- mond stud in his shirt.” The reporters shivered in the No- vember cold. 3 L “Are you purposely tryvfi id us?” asked Jack Winters of the Morn- ing Post.

Flyer Tells of Battle With Storms Over Atlantic, Nearly Dropping Into Sea, and the “‘Crack- ing” of One of Wings. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. MOSCOW, June 6 (By Cable)—In a special room at the Moscow airport, James Mattern, American fiyer attempt- ing to set a mew record for a round- the-world hop in his red, white and blue Century of Progress plane, told the story of his mysterlous disappear- ance and landing in Norway. The tired but happy aviator was served caviar, salad, cold meats, omelette, steak and mineral water, but he ate little. He drank many glasses of Russia tea, which he said he found stimulating. “I was going fine when I left New- foundland,” he said, “but several hun- dred miles out I struck a low pressure area, with sleet, rain and fog. My course was set toward Paris, but I found that the wings of my plane had started icing up. I tried going south to find better weather, but it only be- came colder. Then I tried getting down just above the water in order to thaw the ice, but it was no use. Nearly Hits Water. “I had to take the northern route, where, paradoxically, it was warmer. I flew low in order to throw off the ice on the wings, but I couldn't see any- thing and expected any minute to hit the water. “My worst time came when I was tearing along, bucking the rain and sleet, when suddenly I heard one of my wings go ‘crack’ Boy, I though my days were up then, but nothing more happened. b “When I finally hit the Norwegian coast I landed at the first suitable spot I could find.

Working at feverish the Amer- ican flyer and the mechanics discovered a plece of felt in the gasoline line filter which was causing all the trouble. They soon fixed it up. The scene was theatrical—gunmetal clouds hanging low over the fleld, & green moon dropping behind the han- gars of the airport, beacons flashing and a knot of men working, the vivid- ly hued plane thrown into sharp relief by the powerful light trained on it. Mattern climbed ni::s cockpit, the Russians cra: e ertia starter and the motor roared into life.
