There still was doubt whether the city of Paris or the government would give the flyers an official re- ception. The air ministry seme time ago put a ban on transoceanic flights and was on record as definitely op- posed to the attempt of Assolant, Lefevre and Lottl. When W. Lorent- Eynac, the French minister of air, felicitated the flyers last night at Le Bourget in the name of the gov- ernment he said: “You have suc. ceded in achiev one of the fin. est exploits in aviation, undisciplinea perhaps, but lite pardonable since you achieved “your purpose.” Violated Flying Rule With a smile Assolant replied. “Undisciplined 1 often have been My old chief, Commandant Weiss, can tell you that.” a matter of fact only a few minutes before he had violated the regulation against low flying over the city of Parls - he came from Spain. To most Frenchmen the young stowaway, Schreiber, remained a great puszle today with the French morning press giving him a great deal of space, but largely as a curi- osity.

His own difficulty with English and her lack of French made their conversation through the strained connection rather dif- ficult. Father Greets Flicr Armeno Lettl, 8r., was particu- larly happy to greet his son, the fi. nancial backer of the flight, frem whom he had waited almost without slesping for thrae days and nights. There was a touchink ecene at the reunion of father and son, after which “Father" Lotti went to young Schreiber and asked him to be his guest at his hotel. “Gee,” the stowaway said, there a hotel in the family too?
