Coffey said the oflii-nil nnrogrnpn was in proper condition and tha seals unbroken. It will be sent to asn ington for checking and determina tion of the exact mileneo covered. The bonrd inspected the Rnsnline tnnka and found the seals intact. They will be drained and the gaeo lino remaining measured as a fur ther flicbt record. Astounded by Acclaim Astounded at the scclaiin which a hero-worshipping mob of citiiens quickly bestowed upon them once word of their unscheduled landing spread, the husky Russian blrdmen smiled wanly, waved confusedly and then in the shelter of the home of General George Mnrshall. barracks commander, shared breakfast with him and Mrs. Marshall, went to sleep nnd arose laie in toe uny iu rn.y .hol they would not go on that the plane would be dismantled here nnd in a chartered piano they would fly lute today to Run Francisco In the enmpnny of the Ttussinn ambassador, Alexander A. Troynnorsky, who flew hero to greet them. Good as the landing looked to the fliers after sleepless, nerve-straining hours at one point of which the polar air froze even their drinking water, even more overjoyed were they when from among a group of Americans wfl-iso F.nglish left them stumped they beard a young man shout: Shouts Hello "Kdractrachi:" ("Hello" In Rus sian.) It wss the first word they tinder stood In a atrange lsnd and there after, until General Marshall, just fitting down to bncon nnd egga when the distinguished visitors glided across the army port, threw a protecting guard of soldiers about them, George Kosmefsky was their shield. Flying steadily, nut, their course picked up only at infrequent Intervals sfter they left Moscow behind, the Russians arrived over tha Pacific Northwest before dswn Sunday. Head ing straight down the coast, they first wandered about in the miserable fly ing weather which greeted them and flew 125 miles south of here to Eu gene. With the weather getting steadily worse, they banked around and head ed northward until they sighted the barracks airport and decided to get hack to earth. Oregon Students Koimetsky, a University of Wash ington student taking reserve offi cers training at the hnrrncks, and his rentmntes, FVnnk Allen and Kenneth Kirlley, University of Oregon stu dents, saw the single-motored ship alighting and instantly recognized It for the Russian ship. Chekaloff, first out of the plane, mumbled a rnpld-flre series of "noes" as the Americnns fired questions nt him. nelhikoff followed him from the plane with Unihnkoff the last to leave. Cautiously they kept everyone out of tho cabin until a guard of soldiers surrounded the plnno nnd bnrred the cnrlous. The men, despite the long hours, did not appesr exhausted hut stumbled slightly as they regained their land legs. In a subsequent radio broad cast st which Ambassador Troyanov sky acted as interpreter, parnphasing the fliers' remarks, Chekaloff reveal ed that the most trying jvortions of the flight, cnnia In stormy weather tit the Itering Sen. Krntis Josef land, Prince Patrick Island and near the north pole. The pilot trnced the course ss up the Kola Kola peninsula, between r'rnns Jnsef Land and tho Northeast Island, thence swinging out over the trncklcss Arctic wastes and across the pole, southward over Prince Fat. rick Island, the Great Hear I.ske east of the Yukon nnd down west of Fort Simpson to C'hihogof on the Cross Klrnita. From there the course lay south Inside of (liieen Charlotte Is land, over Vsncouver Island to Vic toria and down Washington's beauti ful Olympic peninsuls. But for the wenther, the pilot said Schilling 1 vanttia lC Plicate flavr A Program Distinctly Feminine Coiuluotod By Niiomi llnrpor Ami Sponsoroi'l lv The Brownie Beauty Shop ha could have made 8n Fraociseo, having enough gasoline left out of the original load of 2,000 gallons to fly T.Vi miles. Knsmrtsky, telling of the meetlnr with Chekaloff, said: "I alutd him and aid 'sdract rachi' (hello) and ha shook my hand. He then turned around and put chocks under the wheela of the plana, blocking it." The fliers subsisted for the moat part on tea and lemon juice but they tora Into General Marshall's bacon and eggs with th keenneaa of long-starv-ed appetitea. During; tha meal, they asked for tea but tbera was none. They asked for cogneo and there waa ....... Tha .an.r.1 n11rA them MIHI -hlsky and they grimaced at the lirst sip and declined it. A search of an couver ensued in which orderliea fin ally turned up the much-sought cog nac. Meantime, reporters and a mob of citizena which finally grew so thick that traffic for miles around tho bar racks was stalled, besieged the locked gates of the port. Earlier, before the general had learned of the unex pected landing, the fliers posed be fore their plane for photographers, wearing the great, thick-furred parkas by which they fought off the Arctic cold. Troyanovsky told the crowd that he I compared the flight to "the undtiergu I deed," the non-stop journey of Col. Charles Lindbergh from New iork to pnris jn 192 RECEIVE PLAUDITS MOSCOW, June 21. IP) Josef Stulin led high Soviet officials today in cabling congratulations to the three Russian trnuspolnr fliers at Vancou ver, Wash. The cable, from the secretary-general of the communist party read: "Congratulate you warmly on your brilliant victory. Tour successful achievement of the heroic non-stop flight from Moscow over the north pole to the United States excites the admiration nnd love of the toilers of the whole Soviet union. "We are proud of the courageous, bold Soviet aviators who Ignored all obstacles to reach their goal. We embrace you and shake your hands." SLOW, STEAD! (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) o Portland they came and tnen on to Eugene, Ore., before turning back to find haven at Pearson field. The wingfi, unusually wide-spread for the IniRtb of the body, are ex tended 110 feet and are built upon a metnl frame nnd then covered with a fnbric. Flnps aeted as "air brakes" at the landing. The wheels have no brakes and the skid wheel does not turn. 750 Horsepower The pilot called the motor a 7fiO hornepower, but Eugene R. Spencer, a civilian mechanic, anid it would re quire a IfiOO -horsepower motor by American definition to turn the three blnded propellor. Tho metal-covered fuselage, black over tho motor and silver along the body, Is about 4! feet In length. The wings bad no equipment to eliminate ico hut small tubes from the propellor shaft sprayed alcohol on Ihe blades. The first and last of the three cock pita contained dual controls equip ment. The center cockpit was the navisntnr's and contained navigation equipment, including a two-way radio. Portland and Washington aviaton said tho plane had the appearance of the fiermnn Junker-type ship. It Is a comparatively slow-flying craft with a cruising speed of about 100 miles per hour. It can land at 30 miles an hour. Army offirers said the plane" ap proached Pearson field at 60 miles an, hour and apparently the Russians were prepared to tnke to the air again if the landing facilities did not suit them. The ship, the fliers announced list night, will be dismantled here and whipped bnck to Moscow. Slight Cold Confines President Roosevelt WASHINGTON.

V "Fashions and Fancies Ti "Power from Bonneville dam will not be a menace to Eugene," accord ing to J. W. McArtbur, superinten dent of the Eugene water board, who addressed members of the Eugene Kiwanis club Monday noon nt the regular meeting, on the subject of electric power in the northweut. The Eugene plant apparently will be taied to OH per cent of its ca pacity by fall, Mr. McArthur pointed out, and if ft will be possible within a few years to get power from the Bonneville dam on the Columbia river, at rates now estimated, ft will bo cheaper for this section than to make further developments up the McKenzie. Estimates at the present time on the cost of transmitting Bonneville power, show approximately one mill per one hundred miles, which would bring ft to Eugene at a cot of about five mills, he stated. Mr. McArtbur showed, through various reports, that figuring the cost of the power hero on transmitting rates, would be approximately the same as if it were received on blankej rates, "Ilonneville will not make powyr cheaper In outlying districts," Mr. McArthur said, "because few com panies now In existence are close pnough to the dam for distribution of the power," The water board superintendent stated that nothing definite has been worked out, nor will It be until con gress acts on the matter nnd ap points an administrator for Bonne ville dam. He read from one state report, that figuring the amount of power forthcoming from Bonneville, it would be possible to let 50 per cent he used for Industrial plants, the other 50 per cent being sufficient for domestic use. When Bonneville and Grand "u!ce dams were first started, according to Mr. McArthur. there was discussions for what purpose so much power could be used In the northwest. Now, according to the report of the T7. 8. army engineers, natural growth in the vicinity of Grand Coulee will justify the development there. The report of the Oregon state planning board on a study and cal dilations concerning Bonneville dam, shows that by 1047, natural growth will absorb excess power. About fifty members of the club were In attendance, with E. N. Mo- Adams of Hermosa Beach, Calif., E. R. Langlois of Bandon. and Ocil Orcutt of Kampa, Ida., as guests. STEEL LEADERS (CONTINUED FROM PAOE I) sirike, the great Cambria works of Ptthlehem Steel were closed under a martial law proclamation of Gv. George H. Farle of Pennsylvania. Headed by Charles P.

New Grievance Steel came to the mediation confer ence with a new grienvance, that of enforced closing by order of Pennsyl vania's Governor Earle of Bethlehem S. eel's great mills nt Johnstown, Pa. The governor asked that the mills he closed "to avoid bloodshed," for he feared the tense feeling between -ttrikers and non-strik,s might flare ijryond control of local officials.

"Thii organizer will work for the Willam ette valley district, council and will it paid by the Brotherhood i-f Car pi nters and Joiners.'

Crop Loss High Crop loss in Lane county will run up pretty high, according to O. S. Fletcher, county agricultural agent, and W, A. Ayres, market master. There Is too much moisture for everything, Mr. Ayres ssid. The veg etables, which were greatly benefited by the first few days' rain, have now begun to suffer from "damping off" disease. Beans have been beat en down and spinach and similar crops hsve made such rank growth that their quality has been impaired. In the places where the river sloughs are overflowing and crops are cov ered there can be no salvage. Cherries, which are a short crop to begin with, are being ruined. Even the eour varieties which ripen earlier than the others are being cracked and the sweet varieties are, suffering. A few of the latter sre being received at the cannery in Eu gene but many are damaged. START OF SUMMER PORTLAND, Ore., June 2d. (U.R) Summer started here today in a drizzle of rain and mist.
