When he piloted it to Germany .with Charles A. Levine, its owner, as a passenger, it took off with 455 gallons. The plane could take off wit h500 gallons, he said. To Retrieve Record His first thought, when he learned that the record had gone to Ger- many, was how to bring it back to America. While he said it was too early to predict what he might be able to do toward that end, he de- clared, “of course, when Acosta and I made the previous record, we re- solved to defend it whenever (it might be broken.” He sald for the present he could foresee no immediate prospect of be- ing able to retrieve the record, as the Columbia, now in France, was the only Bellanca plane available. “Of course, I don’t know what Le- be,” he said. Plans Are Made New York, Aug. 5§ P—G. M. Bel- lanca, airplane designer ard build- er, announced today that plans are under way for a flight in a new Bellanca plane, to be piloted by Clarence D. Chamberlin, transat- lantic filer, to recapture the world's endurance record. Bellanca designed the plane with which Chamberlin and Bert Acosta establighed the previous record of 51 hours 11 minutes and 25 seconds, which was broken today by the Junker W-33 in Germany. When \nformed of the Junker's record, Bellanca said: “I am confident we will bring the | record back to America. I am build- ing 10 planes, embodying new fea- tures, and I hope to get Chamber- lin to pilot one of them in another endurance flight. “I am glad in one way that the previous record has been broken, because that gives us a new mark to shoot at. All this stimulates avi- ation.” lvlne' plans for the Columbia may OFFICER REFUSES MONEY tfused an offer of $600 allegedly ten- dered him by Joseph Russo, Brook- lyn, and Carl Mayer of New York, arrested here today and charged with transporting ten cases of wine and liquors in an automobiie.
