(AP) A smiling, slim, rud dy cheeked Irishman wearing the uniform of a major in the Irish Free State air force flew into this little mountain hamlet today not as, one or the first tnree men to have flown an airplane irom Eur ope to America but as a man on a sliff job that has yet to be com pleted. "We have not yet reached New York, and until we do our trip is not over,' declared Major James Fltzmaurice, who flew with Bar on Von Huenefeld and Captain Koehl from Dublin, Ireland, last Thursday for New York, but were forced to land their Junkers plane Bremen on that black and sparsely inhabited speck of land off the northern end of Newfoundland, known as Greenly Island. Complete Plans Given With those words, Fltzmaurice made known his immediate plans and those of his companions, who remained behind with the damaged Bremen. He is to obtain parts that now are at Montreal, take tnem by airplane to Greenly Island, re pair the Bremen and then con tinue the flight to New York. "It probably will be two or three days before I can get away for Greenly Island," be said, "a lot depends on the weather. Then I expect it will take about the same length of time to repair the plane and fit it for the remainder of the journey." The damage to the Bremen, he said, consisted of a broken pro peller, a smashed landing gear and a ruined tire, the latter dam aged by the frost. Outside of hav ing to make the necessary repairs there is no reason why the Bremen cannot continue on to New York, in the opinion of the Irish flier. Builder's Daughter Present Standing at his side and show ing great interest in what Fltz maurice was saying, was Fraulein Flerta Junkers, daughter of the de signer of the Bremen and the rep resentative in the United States of the Junkers company. She had flown to Montreal yesterday from New York, continuing on here last night to meet Fitzmaurice and learn from him what was needed to repair the Bremen. In a few words, Fraulein Junk ers explained the reason for her coming here to meet Fitzmaurice. Continued on page 2.)

Pierce, former governor, tonight informed the Associated Press that, if the demo crats of Oregon wrote his name in on the ballot for congressman to succeed M. J. Sinnott. he would oecome a candidate. Pierce has been urged by his friends to make tne race. In case J. Sinnott, represent ative in congress for the second congressional district, withdraws as a candidate for reelection to accept the office of justice of the court of claims, it will devolve ud- on the congressional committee of the second Oregon district to nom inate his successor. President Coolidge Wednesday nominated Representative Sinnott for justice of the court of claims, and It is likely that he will be con firmed by the senate. The law applying to the Sinnott case was pointed out here Wed nesday by Secretary of State Ko zer. Any action taken by the con gressional committee, however, would not prevent the voters of second district from nominating a candidate in the primary election by writing in his name on the bal lot. If Representative Sinnott de sires to withdraw as a candidate in the primary election early enough that his name will not be certified by the county clerks by the state department, it will be necessary for him to do so before Saturday of this week. Saturday is the last day allowing the secre tary of state for mailing the certi fications. The Oregon election law apply ing in the Sinnott case reads: "In case any candidate nomin ated under the provisions of this act shall die, withdraw, or for any reason be ineligible, or if there shall occur a vacancy by death, resignation or otherwise, in the office of United States senator or representative in congress, or in any elective state, district, county or precinct office, on or after the day set by law for holding primary nominating elections, or if such vacancy occur before such nomin- fPontinud n page 2) GIRL LOST IN MOUNTAINS Vicinity of Newman Lake, Near Spokane, Scoured for Tot SPOKANE, April IS.
