L. Robbins and James Kelly _eachewed the admiration of the na- tion and slept today while experts 7 'made =a careful their single motored monoplane Fort Worth, which they brought to »*earth yesterday after soariug al- “‘most seven and one-half days. The two pilots. one an ex-cowboy, Iithe other a former railroad me- - chanic, added a new line to the il- fustrious record started by the Wright brothers’ one minute flight at - Kittyhawk, N. C.. in 1903, by keeping the Fort Worth aloft in good and bad weather for 172 hours, 32 minutes and one second. “The record beats the mark of 150 “hours, 40 minutes and 15 seconds made by the army monoplane “Question Mark” by 21 hours, 51 minutes and 59 seconds. The army plane had three motors, a crew of . +five ‘men and an expert ground " Robbins has had six years' ex- . perience as a flier, but Kelly came off the range only a year and a half ago and a course in flying ~which he took technically ended in April, although his skill gave ‘im @ job with the Texas Air ‘Transport corporation long before ' that time. 2. The two fliers divided credit for 4% the success of their flight. Kelly pointed out that Robbins’ ability to get the most out of the motor, with- out straining it was largely respon- iy, sible for.its performance. Robbins “2_attributed a large share of their suc- . cess to the intrepidity of Kelly who trequently crawled all around the hood of the plane to grease the valve rocker arma. The Question Mark was brought to -nh by valve trouble. * It was on one of these trips to ase the valves that Kelly had an ment which eventually forced the piane down. " A loose buckle on his safety helt nicked both blades of the propeller . and during Saturday night's rain asstorms moisture penetrated the scar " on the blades and caused the pro- peller to swell and split. <.+ @hortly after noon yesterday the W'dhpfied a'note saying the pro- rh el r was vibrating badly and that lm would have to, descend soon. IThey kept the plane in the air, how- ever, until a moment after 4:05 p. fh. They decided that the risk of the propeller flying to pieces and perhapa causing them to crash was . ;100 great. Robbins made a perfect landing. » ‘The plane scarcely had touched : the ground when the enthusiastic crowd sloshing through mud, was + Jipon it. A tence, a cordon of police » and a speclal guard around fhe “plane, wilted before the rush. The special guard was crushed back .against the fuselage and the comnit- .smdee of 100 which was to greet the fliérs had to take its turn with the _gther spectators. Sofue semblance of order finally was obtained and Mrs. 4 3iebBins and Mrs. Kelly, & bride of a \.. tew weeks, were carricd to the plane - aver the heads of the crowd. Police and volunteers fought the crowd back inch by inch as the plane was brought up to the linc. «. The jam in front of it was so tight . Ahat many daintily shod women lost their shoes, and went home with “ their hose and dresses covered with »mud. **" The fliers had very little to say. ~They were slightly deaf and content- ed themselves for the most part with ‘grinning happily at the news recl . cameras and the crowd. . Robbins and Kelly planned today rest and possibly read the many letters of congratulations fhey have recelved and also contracts which theaters and various firms have of- fered. Each of the pilots won a total of ©'$1,100 from scverul air iransport ...companies and a purse of $15,000 s “’helrg raised for them by the lmv Worth Association of Commerce Toraorrow they will attend a ban- quet given in their honor by 1,000 local citizens.

Soloist Quits ¢ Los Angeles, May 27 (P—An at- tempt to break the solo endurance flight record, started 8aturday morn- ing by Herbert J. Fahy, ended here yesterday after the plane had been 21 hours, 16 minutes in the air. Fahy said a gusty wind rolled banks of fog in upon him, forcing the descent. Fahy said another start would be made this week, probably tomorrow for the record of 35 hours, 33 min- utes, 21 seconds, made by Martin Jensen in New York recently.

Ocean Planes Remain | Old Orchard Beach, M A 27 | (A—With the proposed transatlant flight of the Yellow Bird and the Green Flash defipitely off for tod:y at least on account of reports of bad weather, two members of the crew of the French plane were ready to start for New York the better to observe reports from the weather bureau. Roger Williams and Lewis A. Yancey, pilot and navigator, respec- tively, of the Green Flash, remain- ed here receiving weather reports by telephone and telegraph. French Watch Weather New York, May 21 (f—Armeno Lotti and Rene Lefevre, sponsor and navigator of the Krench plane tn which they plan to fly with Jean Assolant from Old Orchard Beach, Me., to Paris, arrived from Maine by seaplane today to be in closer Dr. James H.

Willy Neunhofer, today was claiming to have reached an altitude of 41,000 feet, just less than eight miles, and to have set a world's record. His figure, if allowed by the inter- national air federation. would bet- ter considerably the hitherto recog- nized altitude record of Licutenant A. Soucek, U. 8. N., who is credited with achieving a height of 39,140 feet in a Wright-Apache biplane May 8. Neunhofer made two efforts. On is first flight he climbed to a height of 35,080 feet. There his oxygen tube burst. He lost consciouncss and his plane started in a dive to- ward the earth. When he had drop- ped like a plummet to within two miles of the carth he regained con- sciousness and pulled his plane out of its spin in time to land safely. His oxygen tube was repaired and he made another try, succecding where he had failed before, his os- tensible purpose being to test the effects of rarified air and cold on his motor and fuel. He will make ap- plication immediately, it was said. for official recognition of his flight. Neunhofer credited the safety ap- paratus on his plane with saving him when he lost consciousness on his first altitude attempt. rench Make Speed Etampes, France, May 27 (B — Majors, Weiss and Girler of the military air service were believed today te have established Our First Birthday | What a Year! | WE CELEBRATE SATURDAY | ; Watch Friday’s Paper || Jay-Cobbs, Inc.

PR SUSPECTING FRALD Fictitions Name and Address o Rocords of State Following their arrest by Officer John Ajudi for driving an auto- mobile with defective lights, Zig- mund Tomcsyk, 18, of 608 Main street and John Toczko, 17, of 563 North Burritt street, were held in $200 bonds each in police court to- day, while the police made a further investigation into the cases. ‘The automobile in which thcy were riding, with Tomczyk at the wheel, was registered in the name of John Bardp. pf Crown street, ac- cording to the moter vehicle de- partment reccrds, but the poiice could locate nobody by that name in New Hritain and the house number given does not exist on Crown street. According to Toczko, his father had an accident some time ago and could not keep his car unless he showed proof of financial responsi- bility, which he did not do, so he lost his markers. Later, according to Toczko, his father brought hom a set of markers and put them on | the car. The elder Toczko denied this to the police. Tomczyk is charged with driving an automobile without a certificate of registration and with only one headlight, while Toczko is charged with theft of markers. The theory of the police is that the car was; registered in the name of a person who does not e: in order to sidestep the financial' responsibility requirements under the state law. The cases were continued until Wednesday. Detective BSergeant El- linger had the case under investi- gation today, Sergeant McAvay hav- ing worked on it last night and early today.
