Washington, July 14 One of the first acts of the airmen was to get in touch with the Soviet Charge d'Affaires here, M. Oumansky, by long-distance telephone and tell him that the only reason they id not continue their flight past San acinto was to remain over United States soil, otherwise they would have gone on into Mexico.
The airmen said they had an extremely good trip but ran into bad weather over San- Diego, where it was so overcast they could not find a landing place and were forced to fly for two hours over the city before turning inland towards San Jacinto heir machine functioned perfectly throughout the flight.
On receiving news of their landing, President Roosevelt telegraphed his "enthusiastic congratulations" to the airmen.—Reuter.
