FLAT, Alaska, July 20. (AP) Nosing over in a cross

Advices from Fairbanks indicated that a new propeller
was being brought immediately by Joe Crosson, Alaskan
air ace O- :
Post bounced to a stop on me
edge of the flying field here at
3:30 p m., Fairbanks time, af
ter being In the air 22 hours, 32
minutes on the 3,000 miles flight
from Khabarovsk, Siberia.
His destination was Fairbanks,
but clouds and rain prevailed
over all of Interior Alaska and al
though Post was sighted within
225 miles of his goal, at Tanana,
he lost his way and came down
375 miles south weat of Fairbanks.
Nosing through heavy clouds,
Post first appearetftronf tbe
northeast. He passed-over Flat at.
a 4000 - foot elevation, headed
southwest toward range of hills.

Post said he had been "lost for
seven hours following some riv

NOME, Alaska, July 20-
Jimmle Mattern, round - the -

weeks ago in Siberia, arrived here
today in a soviet seaplane flown
by Pilot Levanovsky, a Russian

earlier when It ran out of gas.
Mattern set out from Khabar
ovsk, Siberia, July 14, and was

trouble forced him down near
Anadyr and his plane was so bad
ly damaged in landing that he
could not proceed. The Texan,
who was attempting a solo flight
around the globe to better the

and Harold Gatty, was rescued by
natives and brought to Anadyr.

About 9 o'clock, between 200
