meadow.
The flight had previously been
broken at Eislben Saxony. about 110

I Columbia after 4’J hours of continu-
ous passage from Roosevelt Field
Long I-land was forced to descend
by shortage of fuel.

j Chamberlin passed over Madeburg in
the direction of Berlin at 10:10. but
«pparcntly miscalculated the uirec-
tion and swung *-iightly to the south-
land instead of the northeast.
While coming short of its goal the
Columbia in reaching Kislcben set a

the start for when the Columbia
hopped off from Roosevelt Field
Chamberlin and Lev.ne kept their
destination secret. The possibility
was reported of their swinging south-
eastward over Europe to home or at
any rate of continuing as far ns
their gasoline would carry them.
Their fuel supply was believed to
I be sufficient for a -id hour fhgnt
I under normal condition-.
When it became definitely known
that the Columbia's intended landing
place was tfcc Tempelhofer field a
crowd began gathering there.
Early in the morning the brass
band of the Lufthansa (German Air
League) appeared and got ready for
action amid an outburst of enthus.
iasm from the watchers. Telegrams
for t hamberhr and Levine began ar-
riving at the field.
At the direction of the Lufthansa
I * keg of I’ilseneu beer was put on
icc to welcome Chamberlin with a
glass of foaming brew when he
should arrive in accordance with
the wish attributed to him in New
York.
An American flag was hoisted on
the main flag staff it was a small
one. and the explanation was made
that unfortunately the flag question
had not been considered in time. I
A search later resulted in discov-j
ery of a large flag and the small on«
i was immediately replaced.
It was shortly after noon when of-
ficials announced to the waiting
crowds at the air field htat the Col-
umbia would not arrive as it had i
suffered a propeller break seventy t
miles southeast of Berlin and could
proceed no further.
Chamberlin and Irvine will be
brought to Berlin tomorrow in one j
of the Lufthansa’s passenger planes.

women heard the new# that the Bel-
lanea plane Columbia carrying the
two men had reached the continent.1
When reports indicattd that Berlin
was to be the plane’s destination
they sent cablegrams of congratula-
tions and word that they were sail-
ing to join them.
Mrs. Chamberlin had retired at a
New York hotel but expressed joy
when new# of her husband’s safe ar-
rival in Lisleben Germany was re-

members of the Levine family re-'
mained awake at her home in Beil
