HOP UNEXCITING, DECLARES AMELIA “Most Disquieting Moment” Was at Take-0ff, Says Noted Flyer. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 9.—Refreshed from a long sleep and a “nice” break- fast, Amelia Earhart stayed in her hotel suite today and discussed briefly | her non-stop flight from Mexico, D. F., to Newark, N. J. It was an unexciting trip, she said, and she experienced her “most dis- quieting moment” during the mile- and-one-half take-off yesterday in the rarified atmosphere of the Mexican pirport. The port is 7,000 feet above sea level. “Otherwise,” said the aviatrix, “the trip was uneventful, but enjoyable.” The plane which had carried her across the Atlantic and from Hawali to California touched its wheels to the brightly-lighted field at 9:28:50 p.m. (Eastern standard time), 14 hours, 22 | minutes and 50 seconds after the take- off. i Showed No Signs of Fatigue. | Miss Earhart’s face was oil-streaked, | but she showed no signs of fatigue as | she pushed back her unruly blond ! locks and waved cheerfully to friends. | Police lines meant nothing to thc‘ crowd. The spectators swarmed about the plane and Miss Earhart had to| abandon it to sturdier guardians. With police cars for opening wedges, the flyer slowly made her way to a| hangar. Almost there, she met her | husband, George Palmer Putnam, who reached her side only after prolonged | foot ball tactics by a bluecoat escort. “Mexico is more civilized than New- | ark,” exclaimed the publisher. Miss | Earhart appeared to enjoy the excite- ment, although she later described it &s the hardest part of the trip. i “It looked like a million persons there,”. she said afterward. “I was afraid some of them would be hit by the plane or damage it.” Flew Between Clouds. She disclosed that she had found the Gulf of Mexico covered by a great layer of cloud. This she escaped by soaring to 9,000 feet, only to find an- other great range of cloud mountains built up ahead. Between the two were a few hundred feet of clear at- | mosphere and for more than 100 miles | she flew with clouds both above and | below her. | She had headwinds at first, then tailwinds, the flyer said. She aver- aged 151 miles an hour, flying slowly | enough to conserve fuel and arriving with a little left in her tanks. Miss Earhart had taken off in the | BYRD PARTY RESTS OFF MARINE BASE; BEAR COMES HERE (Continued From First Page) the U. S. S. Sequoia.

Bolicitor General Reed, discussing Government corporations, traced the history of the present R. F. C,, F. D.

During the day there were meetings of two sections of the American Bar Association. A special committee headed by Scott M. Loftin, president of the A. B. A, called upon President Roosevelt to invite him to address the annual convention of the association to be held in Los Angeles in July. Associated with Loftin were Joseph . O'Connell of Boston, Harry F. Lawther of Dallas and A. L. Scott of Carson City, Nev. All the preliminary meetings ended last night by the Law Institute will continue in session through Saturday. MISS EARHART SETS THREE NEW MARKS Time of 13 Hours 5 Minutes Be- tween Mexico City and Wash- ington Is Among Records. “LIFE OF CHRIST" PRESBYTERY TOPIC Mrs. E. L. Russell, Field Worker, Speaker at An- nual Meeting. Mrs. E. L. Russell, field worker for Assembly’s Training School, Rich- mond, addressed the Woman’s Auxil- iary of the Potomac Presbytery on the “Life of Christ” at this morn- ing’s session of their twenty-third an- nual meeting at the Church of the Pilgrims, Twenty-second and P streets. At the afternoon session Mrs. Rus- sell was scheduled to outline the teachings of Christ. The Presbytery’s program opened last night with an Executive Commit- tee meeting and social, and was to continue through tomorrow afternoon. About 200 representatives, represent- ing 28 churches, were attending the affair, submitting reports of the work carried on during the past year. Last night's reception was given by the women of the Church of the Pil- By the Assoctated Press. Amelia Earhart chalked up three records by completing her non-stop flight from Mexico City to New York 5. Other speakers scheduled are Rev. last night. The first record, an official of the National Aeronautic Asociation said, was made when she flashed across an imaginary line bisecting Wash- ington Airport. As she swung away into the darkness toward New York without stopping, she left behind a record of 13 hours 5 minutes and 52 seconds flying time between Mexico City and Washington. Her time will be recognized as an international record under rules of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. By continuing to New York for a total time of 14 hours 22 minutes and 50 seconds she also can claim two records under National Aeronautic Association rules. She is the first woman flyer to make a non-stop flight between Mexico City and New York and her flying time will be accepted as an initlal record for flying the 2,100 miles between those two points. | She is the first to cover that route | since adoption of new inter-city record rules in 1933.

Declining a radio invitation to end her flight from Mexico City at Wash- ington Airport last night, Amelia Earhart Putnam blinked the landing lights of her plane at a large crowd at the local field and held steadily on her way. Federal and civil aviation officials, | led by Eugene L. Vidal, director of air commerce, joined a large crowd of spectators at the airport nearly a half hour before the woman pilot, flying directly on the Commerce Department radio beam, reached Washington. The Commerce Department airways radio station at the airport was able to hear Miss Earhart as she talked by radio with the Richmond station, but had some difficulty communicating with her until she was almost directly overhead. Vidal invited her to land here, but she replied by radio: “Thanks for the invitation, but I'm going on to New York.” As she passed over Washington Air- port, at an altitude of about 2,500 feet, she blinked the landing lights of her airplane as a prearranged signal to William R. Enyart, secretary of the Contest Committee of the National Aeronautic Association, who was on hand to time her flight frowr Mexico City to Washington. Enyart clocked her passage over the local field at 8:05:51 p.m. Wheat Withdrawals Asked. ‘The government of Spain is asking growers to withdraw wheat from the market in order to maintain the price.
