He was the only member of me

non-stop flight across the Padfie
to Honolulu.
Thousands cheered as the great
plane dropped to the field, bear
ing the flight commander, jonn
Stannage, radio operator; J. Pat
rick Saul, navigator, and Evert
Van Dyke, co-pilot. The party
had crossed the north Atlantic
from Ireland to Newfoundland,
where they were forced down for
lack of fuel. They refueled and
made a triumphal entry into New
York, June 24 and set about pre
parations for the final stage of
their flight which ended here to
day. The Southern Cross, escorted
from Mt. Diablo, 25 miles east ot
Oakland, by a squadron of pur
suit .planes, dived Into a roar of
sound and made a perfect land

alighted.
Oakland Officials
Ta Welcoming Party
They were welcomed by Mayor
John L. Davie and officials who
escorted them in a parade to Oak

Kingsford-Smlth today set at
rest speculation concerning dispo
sition of the famed Southern
Cross, Fokker plane which has
been his flying partner more than
three years.
He said he would take the ship
to Santa Maria next week and
present it to Captain Allen Han
cock, backer of the first flight
from Oakland to Australia.
MI am In very much of a hurry
to get back to Australia where I
have a wedding engagement in
late September,' the flier said.
When we dispose of the plane I
expect to fly back to New York,
take a ship to England and go
direct to Australia."
He did not say whether he In
tended to make the trip from
England by plane.
IMdnt Plan World

The ship la in marvelous con
dition." he added. "It w&a over
hauled In Holland before we made
the hop to America. It never kas
been In better shape."
Although the Southern Cross

today completed an aerial circum
navigation of the globe, the com
mander said tonight he never i:
tended such a project when he
and his crew left Oakland and
started across the Pacific May SI.

With the commander on . this
