The last return yesterday on the steamer Malolo, was not my intention when THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1937. The Fruits of Victory ROOSEVELT TAKES REGIMENTAL FIRST Retains Title, in Drills Yes- terday, Making Clean Sweep of Top Honors. Before a crowd even larger and more enthusiastic than that which observed the battalion contest Monday, Roosevelt High School continued its sweep of the cadet events in divisions 1 to 9, and repeated !s last year’s performance by winning the regi- mental competition held yesterday at patient as the minutes passed and the judges faile® to reappear. Cries of “What are we waiting for?” be- came more and more frequent as the minutes went by, and when the two Army officers reappeared about a quarter of an hour later they were greeted with loud applause. The roar that followed the an- nouncement of Roosevelt's retention of the regimental title was deafening, and even the members of the other high schools gave generous congratu=- lations. Speaking of the Roosevelt sweep of the cadet activities, Col. Wallace M. Craigie, professor of military science and tactics divisions 1 to 9, declared: “It's one of the most amazing things 1 have ever seen.” Adding color to an already color- ful spectacle, a very youthful parade fan intrigued by the marching cadets in general and the bands in particu- TOWN HALL SPEAKER TO BE RABBI WISE Subject This Sunday Evening Will Be “Religious and Racial Persecution.” Rabbi Stephen 8.

However, the best laid plans of mice and pilots go awry and very awry mine have gone. The accident which ended the pres- ent flight was a high price to pay.

Feels Better About Ship. That question has been asked me | several times today. The answer is very clear in my mind. Nothing has happened to change my attitude to- ward the original project. Instead, I feel better about the ship itself than I ever have. And T am more eager than ever to fly it again in pioneer flying. One has to take the rough with the smooth. ‘The accident was just “one of those things.” It might have been so much worse that I'm really very thankful. ‘The plane behaved beautifully. Its performance in every way was all that could be asked. Out of this experi- ence, if any one has cause to lament, it is the Electra itself. For I put burdens upon her which in normal carried a heavy overload. As a mat- ter of fact, very few times since we started our partnership have I flown her without one. Come to think of |it, most of my flying for some years | has been with overloaded planes seek- ing distance performance. So that the | problems—and the risks—of this phase | of the flight were not nfamiliar to me. | of the flight were not unfamiliar to me. | As to loads, the performance data show that hereafter I need not take | quite so much gasoline on these long | Pacific hops. This, coupled with a fsmflller crew, means fewer pounds to | carry | Time of Repair Unknown. | Not until the crippled plane is brought back to the Lockheed plant ‘here at Burbank will I know the true | extent of her injuries or the time re- quired to cure them. And, alas, the costs. Unfortunately, the latter must play a very important part in any plans for the future. If all goes well, I hope the plane may be reconditioned in from 30 to 60 days. Then, if I feel as I now do, the flight will start all over again and T'll assay my third crossing to Honolulu. I've read with interest that this ‘ume I'm to try for a speed record. That is not corerct. The course chosen is not for speed. I intend to follow my original leisurely plan as nearly as possible, though perhaps changed weather conditions at the postponed date may require some deviations in that route. Looking back I realize what remark- ably pleasant passage was the 16-hour hop from Oakland to Honolulu. And that despite not very favorable Wweather conditions. Fred Noonan's navigation proved all one could expect. Throughout the night the stars told him (via his bub- ble octane) where we were, while Harry Manning worked the radio. Use Direction Finder. At one point Fred told me to drop down through the clouds and steer a certain course, when within a cou- ple of hundred miles of Hawaii. “Keep the Makapuu beacon 10 de- grees on the starboard bow,” he ordered. What he meant was that I should tune my Bendix radio direction finder to indicate the location of the beacon, then head the plane as directed. This is the first time I've used this recently developed instrument. On this Pacific hop it was one of the most interesting and valuable on board, and performed perfectly. I doubt if I'd try the flight to tiny How- land Island without it supplementing Fred Noonan's skill. By the way, Fred is definitely “signed up” to accompany me on the next take-off. There'll be only two of us when we start again. Manning is obliged to return to his command on the Atlan- tic, and* Paul Mantz has had his | Honolulu ride. | is the fact that now for a time I shall not have to write any more accounts for The Evening Star. Hard as my reporting may have been on readers, | I doubt if they can know what a chore reporting or trying to report can be to one whose other jobs include trying |to herd an airplane around the | Equator. A little later, when the flight is resumed, I hope to do a better job, reporter-wise as well as pilot-wise. (Copyright, 1937, by the North Americaa Newspaper Alliance. Inc.)

MUSICK. By radio to The Star. PAGO PAGO, Samca, March 26— While laying over here, waiting for | the storm center to pass west of the new air track still to be surveyed be- | tween here and Auckland, New Zea- land, the Pan-American Clipper was serviced yesterday for the final stage of our flight from the United States to Australasia. The delay afforded us an oppor- tunity to proceed immediately with | our harbor survey work and familiari- | | zation with the air approaches to | Tuitila Harbor, which we originally had planned to do on our return flight | to the United States. Servicing of the Clipper, survey work |and the co-ordination of all observa- | tions made during the 5,110 mules of | flight which we completed with our | arrival here Wednesday night have | been sandwiched in between expres-| sions of hospitality from the people as | recognition of their interest and! enthusiasm in our undertaking. Official Government hospitality was | expressed through Capt. M. Milne, U. | S. N, Governor of Samoa, who has | made us his guests at the Government Mansion. Natives, barefooted, and walking from all districts, have come down from the hills surrounding Pago Pago’s perfect harbor to see the “man- bird of the west.” Ship Contacts Cited, | Outstanding in any recapitulation ' of our experiences to date stand two ! instances of radio work in contacting ships at sea by a plane in an over- ocean flight. Both these instances occurred Wednesday in the final stages of our flight from Kingman Reef and demonstrate the extreme | value of radio as a contact for trans- port, regardless of the speed of trans- port employed. The first of these instances occurred about 500 miles north northwest of Samoa, when the radio officer on board the clipper, Thomas R. Runnels, re- ported he had raised by radio a re- quest for the time of day. The request came from the steamer Samoan, under way several hundred miles off her course. The Samoan reported that her ship's chronometer had stopped and that she was unable to get a “time tick.” We were able to “rescue” her with the information that it then was 10010 G. C. T. The second incident of radio contact with a ship at sea concerns the United | States Coast Guard cutter Shoshone, | which was standing at Jarvis Island, | some 300 miles east of our track. For nearly 30 minutes we exchanged posi- tions and wether reports, their's being extremely helpful to us in checking advices and forecasts received in ad- vance and after our takeoff from a score or more of Pan-American Air- ways system weather reporting stations in the Pacific. Favorable Weather Sought. ‘Weather of a kind providing maxi- mum visibility and a fair degree of air smoothness is the ideal which we seek for perfect survey works The absence of this in reports covering the re- mainder of our route to New Zealand led to the determination on our arrival here to delay continuance of our flight for at least 24 hours. Repprts yester- day showed that a storm was centered near the north of the island of New Zealand and was moving west and north. At the center of this storm area the wind was reported moving at 70 knots and better, accompanied by scattered rain storms and squalls. On our long flight from Kingman Reef we did not always have that ideal weather which we are so hopeful of obtaining. While our radio direction finders kept us on a perfect track throughout the flight, we flew for sev- eral hours on instruments, without a glimpse of either the sun ahove or the sented to the second battalion of the Roosevelt regiment for its victory Monday in the battalion competition and to the regiment for receiving first | place in the contest yesterday.

All other members of our crew of seven are long-time members of the Equator- crossing organization, having per- formed that little feat many times on the regular Pan-American run down the coast of South America. Tuitila Harbor Praised. Inspection of buoy-marked Tuitila Harbor, the principal port of the East- ern Samoan Islands, proves all the pre- vious claims we had heard of it as one of the most perfect harbors to be found anywhere in. the South Pacific. The buoy channel markings laid out in the smooth waters of the harbor by the Pan-American fleld engineer corps guided us to a smooth landing just before dusk. Among the large crowd which came down to witness the arrival of the clipper was Mrs, Wallace Reid, widow of the fllm star, who tells me she secured several hundred feet of film of the clipper while it was circling and landing. After a survey of the harbor yes- terday morning I paid a visit to an abandoned mission church, high in the hills behind this seaport town, which houses a temporary weather and radio station of Pan-American Airways. I have been privileged to visit many of our stations in many places, but this is by all odds the most unusual temporary housing. (Copyright, 1937, by the North Americau Newspaper Alliance. Inc.)
