PAGE EIGHT HOP 10 DUBLIN IDE IN AGED, Jl AIRPLANE (Continued from Pae One) reached the coast. The weather wai good." Thought It Was California Then, quite belatedly, attend ants thought of landing papers and asked Corrlgan for them. "Forget It," ho said, yawning. !I though It was California all the time." j Corrlgan's plane, of the vintage ef Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's ISplrlt of St. Louis," was believed to be capable of only about 100 miles an hour. The plane Lind bergh flew to Paris In 1927 Is pre served In a museum. V No Radio ' Corrlgan had no radio and only the barest navigating Instruments. The first Intimation of his whereabouts today was at 7:08 a. m. EST, when he flew over Belfast. - Officials of Belfast harbor air port noticed its American regis tration markings. But they were unaware of a trans-Atlantic hop and did not Immediately report bis arrival. . Veteran fliers said Corrlgan's teat was accomplished against odds of 100-to-l. It amazed Bal donnel airport officials. He ap parently had aimed straight and unerringly for the goal he long had cherished. : The report spread quickly In Dublin that there was "a crasy flier" In town, and It reached newspaper headlines Just like that. Taken to Legation ' Corrlgan sat munching sand wiches as airport officials pressed him to produce his landing papers. . "Really now, I thought I was heading for California," he beam ed. "It was not until I saw your mountains here that I realized it was not California." , The United States minister, John Cudahy, sent his car to the airport. It picked up the flier and delivered him to the legation. It Is expected he will he the guest of the minister for several days. Technically Corrlgan Is under detention because of his lack of papers, but that did not seem to bother him. i . Circled Northern Coast ' He said he circled around the northern coast ot Ireland after Teaching the western coast and finally picked out Dublin's Bal donnel airport for his landing. An Irish mall plane tor London Vas lust leaving when Corrlgan set his rickety craft down. The unofficial time of his flight was more than double the IS hours and 17 minutes record James A. Molllson made on his flight in 1936 from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to London. ; , Given No Chance Most airmen on this side of the Atlantic had not conceded the dar ing American one chance In a hun dred of making the Atlantic cross ing after reading cabled accounts of his "dilapidated" craft. (Because of the department of commerce's rejection last year ot his application for permission to make such a flight and because strict regulations cover such ocean trips, officials at Floyd Ben nett field had doubted he would jtry a '"sneak" hop. (The officials had believed he carried only one navigating map " of the United States with op tional northern and southern routes across the continent). Before Douglaa Corrlgan ar rived unheralded in New York lightly more than a week ago, his name was known only to pilots and west coast aviation experts. They ranked htm as a fine crafts man, and a man who knew air planes thoroughly. Completely shut off from the public eye because of the prepar ations for the Howard Hughes .'round the world flight, he landed in New York In his nine-year-old plane, on which he personally put a valuation of $900, after a 28- TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE 100 tons meadow hay in upper Langetl valley.

Astounded Experienced airmen were unani mous in acclaiming this feat, but they wero astounded today by his unscheduled flight to Ireland In a plane which had few If any of the modern aides to flying. The untalkatlve but agreeable transport pilot had his seat bo hind bulky gasoline tanks which obstructed his vision to such an extent that he had to "bank" in his 1929 Curtlss Robin plane when he wanted to look ahead on his course. WASHINGTON. July 18 (JT) The Atlantie flight of Douglas P. Corrlgan In a homemade plane trankly flabbergasted the air com merce bureau today. Officials were so astonished that they could not think imme diately what to do about Corrlgan's hopping off without a permit. One official said "It ain't right." Corrlgan neither asked nor re ceived a permit to fly to Europe. Regulations provide for penalties ranging from a fine to revocation ot a pilot's license In such cases. Great Day for Irish Dennis P. Mulligan, chief ot the air commerce bureau, said he had postponed the question ot pun ishment. "It's a great day for the Irish." he commeuted with a broad grin. Instead of worrying about Cor rlgan's punishment. Mulligan said, "Right now I want to make every effort to keep him from flying back." NEW YORK. July 18 (fl) When Douglas Corrlgan climbed into his dilapidated airplane to fly the north Atlantic, he had to wire himself In. The knob had come oft the cabin door, so he closed it with a piece of baling wire hook ed around a nail. His plane had 45 less horse power than that of Charles A. Lindbergh, who crossed to Paris in 1927. It was the same make and type ot ship used by Al and Fred Keyes a few years ago to set a world's endurance record ot 653 hours at Meridian, Miss. ROOSEVELT FIELD. New York, July 18 OP) Evidently seeking words to express his amazement, Howard Hughes shook his head slowly today and then said of Douglaa Corrigan's flight to Ire land: "It's very, very remarkable." The globe-circling record hold er baa been interested in the ex ploits of Corrigan since he arrived from California after a non-stop flight about a week ago. JAP FLIERS LAND AT CHINESE AIRDROME, SEIZE GUNS, SET PLANES AFIRE I SHANGHAI, July 18 (Jap anese naval fliers today carried out what a Japanese naval com munique described as "the most daring attack in the history of military aviation." During a large-scale attack upon the big Chinese airdrome at Nancbang, southwest of Lake Poyang, a squadron of Japanese bombing planes landed at the air port despite rifle and machine gun fire from the Chinese de fenders, the communique stated. Then the bombers' crews Jump ed out of their planes, the com munique said, and with torches set fire to seven grounded Chi nese planes, seized two machine gun magazines as war booty, chased Chinese fleeing in a gaso line truck into a neighboring rice field, "and returned to their base unscathed." Long-range artillery duels be tween Japanese warships and Chinese land batteries continued along the Yangtze river, but war maps showed that the Japanese bad made little progress during the past two weeks in the Yangtze sector. BUCKAROO DAYS CHAMP WINNER IN CANADIAN RODEO Jerry Ambler, lanky Canadian youth who won day money and first money in the bronc riding finals during the Klamath Buck aroo Days rodeo here In early July, won first in the bronc riding at Carmangay, Alberta, Can., ac cording to word received here Monday. Ambler and Dell Smith, Klam ath Falls boy who also placed in the finals, were participating In the Canadian shows at Medicine Hat and Carmangay prior to en tering the events at the big Cal gary stampede. SILK FLIMSIES STOLEN FROM DWELLING HERE Helen Miller, 148 East Main street, and Lou Daniel, Klamath Falls, told police that they missed a quantity of silk underthlngs in cluding slips, gowns, girdles and stockings when a prowler entered their dwelling through a rear window, walked over the bed and made off with their personal be longings. Washing, which had been on the line since Wednesday, was also taken by the thief. Police recovered all but two dozen pairs of silk stockings which are still "at large." On Vacation Mr. and Mrs. George Mclntyre and family left by motor for Odell lake, where they will spend a week, later go ing to Diamond lake for a week's holiday. Mclntyre Is with the Klamath Falls branch of the First National bank. Pot on Degree More than 20 members of the Royal and Select Masters lodge ot Medford were In Klamath Falls Saturday night to confer degrees on 16 can didates. Following the work re freshments were served In the Masonic temple. OREGON FOREST PERIL GRAVEST y (Continued from Page One) almost Impossible to locate some 630 fighters and gain an accurate check on the burning areas. About 2500 acres, much of It unmerchantable timber, was ablate in the cheteo district. An east wind provided a serious menace. The tire was 35 miles from the coast and about 10 mile from roads. An almost inaccessi ble fire burned on Rocky ridge In the Illinois river tributary, Nome ctvek, but little valunblo timber was In its path. A stand ot marketable timber was burn ing at the head ot (Sallce creek. Because ot the poor visibility, lookout stations were augmented by foot patrols in the Rogue River national forest. A number ot fires were blazing, but none was serious. Fires existed at Evans creek in northern Jackson county and in Sams valley on state lands. The first covered 160 acres and the second 125. Other burns were reported In Josephine county at Hilton Hop ranch and on Elk mountain. The situation was better in Douglas county, although two new fires occurred in the Ump qua national forest. Both were under control. The county fire patrol said two fires in the coastal area were of Incendiary origin. Three fires were believed set on Hubbard creek. A com paratively small fire was still burning In the Tyee mountain district. William Hope, farmer, col lapsed and died near Stlverton Saturday while working in the heat in a hayfield. SAN FRANCISCO, July 18 (AP) Hundreds of lightning started fires in northern Cali fornia forests were reported all under control today by the United States forest service here. Advices received from the fire fronts, however. Bald the electri cal storm which started Wednes day was still causing danger In some localities. Two forest service airplanes, one dropping supplies to tire crews and another making sur vey flights, continued operating out of the Oakland airport. Roy Headley, chief of the forest service's fire control from Washington, D. C on an Inspec tion tour in the. west, took the opportunity to ride over the region In the survey plane. The forest service report on the tires listed them by region as follows: Klamath national forest, 180 fires; Shasta national forest, 78; Trinity national for est, 20; Tahoe national forest, 17; Plumas national forest, 12; Lassen national forest. 12: Mo doc national forest, 6; Mendo cino national forest, 1. TWO STATES LEFT FOR ALL-AMERICA TOURIST COUPLE Mr. and Mrs. Silas M. Collins are "seeing American first," and only two states In the union are left for them to visit until they can say that they have seen them all. The Collins are guests at the home of Dr. and Mrs. George I. Wright and arrived here Satur day. The first trip the Collins made to Klamath Falls was vastly different from this, they told The Herald and News Monday. They traveled by train, coach and boat some 30 years ago before they docked near the old Link river bridge on the trip from Teeter's landing. The visitors will remain here for a week before going on to Washington and Colorado. They will visit Glacier national pane and Rainier national park and then they've "seen all the states and all the parks." Collins is a retired Southern Pacific locomotive engineer with 49 years of service to his credit, all his work having been in the Los Angeles district. Mr. and Mrs. Collins make their home In Alhambra, Calif., and have not visited here for 14 years. They remarked on the many changes made in Klamath Falls in that time. Sunday the Wrights took their visitors to the lava beds and to visit the petroglypbs, and Monday the party motored to Crater lake, MAN RS SAVES Buy a New OLBSMOBILE On Our New Plan Buy a new Oldsmobile and save on our new pur chase plan.
