German -Consulate-General where they will be the guests of Herr G. A. Sakowsky, the German Consul-

General.

Dr. Junge, who was the first to arrive at the Consulate, was bomb-erded by questions of newspapermen. He announced that the Condor monoplane would be dismantled and shipped back to Germany if the salvage Operations would be successful.

Dr. Junge told the United Press that a broken petrol line had caused a loss of, fuel supply within ten minutes of the plane's arrival at Manila. This failure, he said, forced a deadstick} landing in water.

"Prior to the misfortune, the flight from Tokyo was very smooth and not eventful," he said.

He pointed out that the plane was the same one which last August successfully completed the record flight from Berlin to New York. The former Brandenburg, the four-engined Condor was slightly transformed for the Tokyo trip. An auxiliary tank was installed in the smoking room and its 26 seats were removed to make room for the crew.
