OLD ORCHARD, Me.. May 29
(HP)-—Aviator Thomas '-'mith. if
still in the air. was flying through
a blinding north Atlantic -now
storm today, enroute to Europe
on an unathorized flight in a four
cylinder “puddle jumping” plane.
If lucky, he will land in the Bri-
tish isles.
In addition to the other lirzards
of crossing the oeean in n 050
pound plane, a storm whipped up
across his route and at St. John’s
Newfoundland, the] .• was snow

windshields and reduced visibility
to 1,000 yards. He should have
passed there yesterday, hut if he
did, no one could have seen him.
airmen said h:s chances were
“extremely poor."
One jump ahead of curious pol-
icemen, who wanted to inquire
why he had landed here in such
secrecy Saturday night, the 25
year-old adventurer raced down
the hard beach sands Sunday and
headed into the eastern sky as
dawn was breaking.
The plane carried only 150 gal
Ions of gasoline and three gallons
of oil ‘but under ordinary eondi
tions it was enough to keep it
aloft 40 hours. He believed he
could make London in 315 hours,
or if the fuel ran low, could at
least reach Ireland.
The secrecy of the flight _____ ,
attributed to'his failure to apply j^e kept within legal bounds, high
for the required fI rJit permit
from the department of commece
—a permit that unquestionably
would have been denied.
The plane carried no radio, no
pontoons for landing at sea.
