LINDBERGH STARTS JOURNEY FOR-HOME (Continued from First Page) 5 = brought some important message ashore. Lindbergh had been In the air half an hour before Cherbourg knew he had finally started on tie home- wark track. The competition for favorable viewpoints stiffened and the orowds increased around the Maritime station, gaily decorated with American and French flags. Speculation was rife as to wheth- er the conqueror of the Atlantic would be able to make the Memphis on schedule time. “Bhe can’t sail without Lind- bergh,” was the general comment and the crowds came to tHe con- clusion that for once naval regula- tions would have to give way before impelling sentiment. Au Revoir To Paris, Parls, June 4 UP—Captain Lind. bergh sald au revolr to Parls this morning and hopped off at 9:22 from Le Bourget for'Cherbourg, where he is to board the cruiser Memphis for his homeward journey. Only a few hundred persons were gathered at the military aviation field, and, pressed for tima, he head- ed straight for Cherbourg without passing over Paris. A few minutes before his departure Lindy said good-bye to two of his new friends, Dieudonne Cosle and Captain Rig- not, French aviators, who left Le Bourget in an effort to fly direct to Chita. It was a morning of brilliant sun- shine when Captain Lindbergh smil- ing as usual and obviously glad to get the formalities of his departure over, reached the fleld in company with Ambassador Herrick and Par- mely Herrick, Major Young, military attache of the embassy, and Captain L'Hopital, Marshpt’Foch’s military alde, 2 Planes Lined Up In Review. He found every plane belonging to the Thirty-Fourth Regiment of Avi- ation drawn up in a parade of honor for him. The plane with which he was to fly to Cherbourg—a French Brequet biplanc—had becn polished and tuned to the last turn for the distinguished guest. There was little formal leave tak- ing. Ambassador Herrick put his long right arm around the lanky boy, who has become in two short weeks almost a son to him, and with emotion plainly visible on his face, sald au revoir and wished him good luck, Lindy, host, also was somewhat and faltered as he thanked ambassador for his kindness. Invitation for Ambassador “When you come to America,” he said, “I want you to come to see m The other good-byes were just as brief, and Lindbergh hopped into the pilot's seat, in front of his companion for the day, Sergeant Maurice Carpentier. Commandant Renovisier of the Le Bourget fleld, Colonel Poli Marchetti, commander of the 34th regiment, and the regi. mental pilots came for a last hand- shake and the motor began to hum. Once more flylng a strange ma- chine, he made a perfect take-off. Following his usual procedure, one that makes French pilots shake their heads, he banked sharply, at- taining altitude quickly. circle about and the plane lined out for the coast, the brilliant morning sunshine glinting like silver on its wings. saying good-bye to his affected “the A quick | Chamberlin pencilled the following | note to Captain Lindbergh: “Sorry, not to wait to greet you, but I have to take advantage of the weather. I'm off!” An elderly man broke through the crowd and called, “Good luck, Clarence,” flung his arms around Chamberlin's neck and kissed him—to the aviator's evident amuse- ment. A moment afterwards, Cham- berlin was introduced to a young woman who expressed the wish to kiss him good-bye. Chamberlin brushed his cheek against hers. Among others who also wished him farewell was Anthony H. G. Fokker, designer of the “America,” the tri-motored monoplane in which Commander Richard E. Byrd pro- poses to make a non-stop flight across the Atlantle, and Lieut. George G. Noville, Byrd's radio en- gineer. Barograph Sealed. Yhe barograph, official recorder of the altitudes of the flight, was sealed by Carl F. Schory, secretary of the contest committee of the National Aeronautical assoclation, who had come from Washington to official- ly start the flight. Schory gave the official time of the hop-off as 6:05:27. That was the time the plane gained an altitude that was consid- ered aufficient elevation for a flight start. The actual hop-off was accom- plished with a great deal less diffi- culty than Captain Lindbergh's. The rush down the runway was smooth, and aviators who watched every movement of the plane, said it was * a splendid piece of work.” The plane kept directly down the run- way, and did not bounce as Lind- bergh’s plane had. The ascent was gradual, the plane skimming the | earth for a short distance and then | rising with grace and sureness until it was a speck on the horizon, with three planes, more dots of black like dead stars around a brilliant orb, closely following it. Its total weight was set at 5650 pounds. The plane weighed 1850 pounds. The place where Chamber- lin and Bert Acosta took their naps when they were breaking the world enduranee record a few weeks ago, was filled with the 13 5-gallon gaso- line containers. Acosta and Cham- berlin stayed up a little more than 54 hours, 4500 Mile Radius With the fuel supply carried, the Columbia was estimated to have a cruising radius of 4,500 miles. Its speed was estimated at 105 miles an hour with no wind. This speed wil increase as the welght, diminishing by fuel consumption, decreases. The figures were given by T.” Harold Kinkade, chief service engineer of the Wright Aeronautical corpora- tion. The motor of the Columbia i3 a Wright whirlwind, similar to that ot Captain Lindbergh's “Spirit of St. Louis.” When the Columbia was being tuned up for its flight, it stood vir- tually on the spot where Captain Lindbergh's plane stood when he stepped into its blind cock-pit for his famous flight, and down the run-way, about 4,000 feet away, stood Commander Richard E.| Byrd's America. The America and the Columbia seemed like two mon- | sters about to dash at each other in Herculean tournament. But it was David and Goliath, for the Byrd plane, a tri-colored Fokker, was much larger than the Columbia. Several hundred spectators stood around the Columbia as it was be- ing groomed for the take-off. The numerous reports of startings had made them a bit chary of cheers, and there was not much cheering |as the plane was towed into posi- |tion. But when the hop-off wa |made, cries of “There she goes were added to the din made by the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1927. STATE B. & P. W.

BULLETIN SHOW COURSE OF PLANE (Continued From First Page) along the south shore of Massachu- setts Bay. The weather in this vicinity was ideal this morning. The sun shone from a clear sky and there was a light easterly wind. Commuters -oming into the city, were all agog as they read in their morning papers that Chamberlin had sald he would start at 4 a. m., for Europe. When they stepped off their trains in Boston they found extra editions on the streets giving the information that he had hopped off at 6:06 o'clock. Seen Over Long Pond Plymouth, Mass,, June 4 (® — A monoplane belicved to have been the | Columbia was seen at 8:25 a. m., | passing over Long Pond in Plymouth, elght miles southwest of the village. It was about 600 feet in the air and traveling northeast. It was not sighted from the village, its course taking it to the westward of the main part of Plymouth. Long Pond is about 26 mliles; northeast of North Westport, near New Bedford, where the plane was reported sighted at 8 o'clock day- light time. The course being fol- lowed would bring the plane to the ocean in the neighborhood of Scit- uate, where Lindbergh struck out to sea. Two Planes Seen Marshfield, Mass., June 4 (A—Two airplanes, both flying so high that their numbers or other identifying marks could not be distinguished by watchers passed over the outskirts of Marshfield, on the shore side, ahout 9 o'clock. Coast Guardsmen who spotted the first machine about 8:50 expressed the belief it was the Bel- DRIVER OF TRUCK ASSESSED 825 FINE Found Guilty of Recklessness by Judge Roche Stanley Sokolows! ged 186, of 28 Short street, driver of a milk de- livery truck owned by Israel Bayer of 146 West strect, was fined $25 and costs for reckless driving by Judge Henry P. Roche in police court this morning, as a result of an accident at the intersection of Hart- ford avenue and North street at 12:40 Thursday morning. Judge Roche held that according to the evidence the truck was golng south on Hartford avenue at such a speed that the collision with an automobile driven by William Brennecke of 50 Church street, was caused. The truck pulled to the left of the street, which added to the reckless- ness in the court's opinion. Attorney Albert A. Greenberg, representing Sokolwski, gave notice of an appeal to superior court in $100 bonds, after declaring that the young man was not at fault and the case was one for the civil courts to handle. Brennecke's car was going west on North street and struck the truck in the center, according to the testimony. About 350 quarts of milk were spilled, but Sokolowski and a companion escaped unhurt. Prosecuting Attorney Woods, ar- guing for a conviction, said Sokolow- ski was driving too fast. Had he been travelling at a modeate rate of speed, the accident would not have happened. He should have reduced his speed at the intersection, but he did not do so, Mr. Wods claimed. Sokolowski and his companion testi- fied that Brennecke was at fault, {and they denied that the truck was going more than fiftcen miles an | our, despite Brennecke's testimony and that of other witnesses that the truck was going at least thirty miles an hour and probably faster. $50 For Recklessness. John F. Brady, aged 45, of 53 South Main street, Torrington plead- ¢d guilty to the charge of reckless driving and was fined $50 and costs. The charge of operating an automo- bile while under influence of liquor was not pressed, Prosecuting Attor- ney Woods telling Judge Roche the man had been drinking but not suf- ficiently to justify the charge. Brady, according to Judge W. F. Mangan, who represented him, had never been arrested before, but last evening about 9:40 o'clock while returning home from Berlin with his wife and children, he was guilty of reckless driving on West Main street near Wakefield Court, The car he was driving struck the car of Police- man Patrick J. Mechan and damag- ed it badly. Brady's car went $00 feet before stopping. His wife has been ill for some time and even now should be in bed, Judge Mangan said. The car is owned by Brady's employer, who allowed him to take it to give Mrs. Brady and the chil- dren the benefit of a ride in the fresh air. They went to Berlin to see how bricks are manufactured and were on their way home when the collision occurred. Policeman Thomas Lee was a passenger in Po- liceman Meehan's car at the time. They were uninjured as were Brady and his family. Michael Ryan, aged 34, was charged with vagrancy, having been arrested at 2:30 this morning in an automobile cemetery at 43 Willow street by Sergeant Feeney and Officer Cabelus.

The Letters for Lindbergh Ships on Lookout New York, June 4 (I"—Shortly after the Bellanca monoplune ocean voyage two weeks ago. Two taken to provide for Chamberlin ot the planes accompanied Lindy as ‘an escort of honor to Cher- bourg. LEVINE STARTS ON TRIP OVER OCEAN (Continued From First Page) foundland and follow the greatcir- cle, the route Captain Lindbergh took. He would, he sald, accept the boon of favorable winds and speed on until diminishing gasoline forced him to descend. In fact, he said, the destination was the farthest point from New York that he could pilot the plane. The purpose | of the flight, he said, was to break the long distance non-stop flight record. That means that he is aim- ing to beat the record of Captain Lindbergh, who flew 3,670 miles in 33 hours and 29 minutes. Heads Eastward The plane headed eastward, where the rising sun had streaked with orange and red a thin line of fluffy clouds. Into it, its bird-like body glistening like silver, the Co- lumbia flew with never a falter, soon attaining an altitude of about 3,000 feet. The plane had been loaded with 455 gallons of gasoline, enough, meclpanicians said, to carry it more than 4,000 miles. 455 Gallons of Gas Of this 455 gallon fuel supply, 65 gallons were carried in tin containers strapped inside the fuselage. There ‘was a 20-gallon oil supply. Fuel for the two occupants of the plane were 10 chicken sandwiches on toasted rye bread, six oranges, two quart thermos flasks of chicken soup and one one-quart thermos - flask of coffes and two gallons of water. The weather into which Chamber- lin and Levine set forth was said by Chamberlin to be *‘as good as can be expected.” His last weather charts showed southeast winds on the first part of the flight, between New York and Nova Scotla, with the probabil- ity of fogs, clear weather was prom- ised from Nova Scotia to Newfound- land, ‘with northwest winds. Rain and fog mortheast of Newfoundland were predicted. The weather man suggest- ed this could be avoided by taking a course south of the Great Circle. In mid-ocean winds shifting to northeast and from mid-ocean to Treland moderate tail winds from the west were shown by the charts. Note to Lindbergh Before hopping into the plane, and Levine keeping themselves |afloat in case of an ocean descent. | Verey lights and other signal ma- terial and apparatus was taken, to be used in case of distress. Verey lights are colored balls of fire, much like those shot from roman |candles, and they are fired from a very light pistol. Their plane also was equipped With lights to be dropped into the sea in darkness or fog to ascertain drift. The navigation instruments car- rled were similar to those carried by Captain Lindbergh. Thé® means that an earth inductor compass, just ke the instrument Captain Lindbergh praised after his arrival |in Paris, was aboard. There also |was a magnetic compass and other |aeronautical instruments used in any sort of long distance flying. Levine Is a Mystery Levine’s record for flying was not known at the fleld. Aviators said they did not think he was a li- censed pilot. But they recalled that he made flights, some with Cham- berlin. Levine 1§ virtually the first trans- oceanic passenger, aviators said. To embroider their concept, ft might be said that he was the first commuter from New York to Ber- lin, or wherever he’s going. He waved good-bye to his wife as a commuter starting from Long Is- land to Manhattan on the 8:35, dressed for a day's work at the of- fice. Clothing Also Unusual There were an extra helmet and aviator’s suit in the plane, and {there is no law, international or extraterritorial, to keep him from getting out of the plane looking for all the world like an aviator. But it he hops out dressed as he hopped oft, Berliners or natives of Timbuc- too will see a business man alight- ing from a plane after a flight of some thousand miles, all ready to go into conference. Wanted to Spare Wife Friends of Levine said that his reason for not disclosing his inten- | tion of accompanying Chamberlin was due to his regard for his wife.

Tour of Europe Planned | If Flight Is Successful | New York, June 4 (A—DModestly confident that success would crown the great air adventure of his mono- plane, Charles A. Levine, co-pilot of | the Columbia, before he hopped off | sald he was considering turning the craft over to Sir Alan Cobham, Brit- ish aviator, for a flight from Lon- don to India, after completion of the present voyage. Levine said the Columbia probably would head for Rome or Berlin, the selection of the destination depend- ing on wind conditions and fuel sup- ply when the craft reached Ireland. On completion of the hop, I.z-\'lm‘} said the crart would make a tour of the principal capitals of Europe.
