Lambert -St. Louis field this morn

hours remaining between it nnd a
new record for sustained flight. At
1(1:17 a. m. (B. S. T.) the piano !

Bremen Record
On Ocean Trip
NBW YORK, July 2.1, (AP)
The new queen of trans-Atlantic
travel, the North German Lloyd
liner Bremen, lay at her Brooklyn
pier today after a record-breaking
maiden voyage from Cher
bourg of four days, 17 hours and
42 minutes.
The low-lying stream-lined
niido of the new German mer
chant marine was the first ship
ever to make the trans-Atlantic
voyngt In less thun five days,
eclipsing the record, made by tho
Cunarder Maiirentania in 1928, by
8 hours and 52 minutes.
New York harbor donned a
maritime festive carb as the huge
liner moved magestleally to her
pier. Airplanes circled overhead, j
naroor erait, mcmoing m munic
ipal luff Macom, shrelked their
welcome with piercing sirens and
crowds cheered along shore.
liven speedier than the voyase
of the Hremen, however, was the
trip of six of the 2.J mail bags
carried by the vessel. A seaplane,
piloted by Karon Joachim Vou
Sttidnftz, was cutupuluted from
the ship while she was off l'ire
Island 65 miles from New York
und cniircd tho mall sacks to tho
North German Lloyd line pier!
The letters were rushed to the
poatofMce and were delivered to
New o rk add resses more than
two hours before the liner docked.
Three or tho sacks were placed
aboard transcontinental air mail
planes which are expected to de
liver them in Los Angeles and
.San Francisco some time today,
seven days after they left Oer
mauy. LONDON, July L'3, (AT) The
challenge of the North German
Lloyd liner Hrcmeu yesterday in
its Atlantic crossing of 4 days, 17
hours and 32 minutes probably
will be answered.
It Is epected here that an Inter
national sc rumble for speed hon
ors will follow almost Immediately
with Great Ittitain, America,
I 'ranee and Italy participating,
and Germany adding the Krupa
shortly which should do as w oil
or better than tho Hremen.
The Cunard line, owner of the
Muurentanlu, whose former re
cor dwag beaten yesterday, made
no statement of attack on the
Gcrmun record, but It Id under
