advantage of favorable west-east winds, he said. 
His course is set over the great circle route by way of Grand Canyon, Omaha, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Columbus, and thence to New York by Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Si Morehouse of TWA and Capt. C.W. France of Eastern Air Lines will be co-pilots.

querors of the Pacific arose refreshed in their suite at the Clark Hotel to anticipate another memorable function in their honor.

LUNCHEON AT STUDIO
This took the form of a luncheon at Warner Brothers studio.
The affair was extremely informal and was distinguished by the fact that there were no long speeches.
Sir Charles and Capt. Taylor were accompanied to the studio by P. G. B. Morriss, Clark Hotel manager and long-time friend of the flying knight; Wentworth Martyn Gurney, British Consul in Los Angeles; John Stannage, the flyers' manager; Col. R. B. Barnitz and Woodruff De Sylva of the Municipal Airport.
They were greeted by Jack L. Warner, vice-president in charge of production.

STARS PRESENT
At the banquet were Robert Presnell, James Seymour, Lou Edleman, Sam Bischoff, Henry Blankey and Ed Chotorov, associate producers; Paul Muni, Jean Muir, James Cagney, Ricardo Cortez, Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler and Rudy Vallee, comprising the reception committee.
And so Sir Charles and his gallant navigator were feted in the name of Hollywood—with neither high-flown phrases nor crooning.
As the luncheon was concluded, the airmen and their entourage were escorted on a tour of the "lot."

OFF TO AIRPORT
There followed for Sir Charles and Capt. Taylor another few hours at playing recipients of well wishes from their friends and admirers; then the pair sped to Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, for Capt. Taylor's departure for New York.
Sir Charles was to have flown from Grand Central Airport yesterday afternoon for a trip over Los Angeles in a TWA transcontinental transport just after Capt. Taylor left. On the guest list were Eddie Rickenbacker, H. W. Beck of the air line, and a party, mostly newspapermen. The ocean flyer excused himself shortly before Capt. Taylor took off, however, and left the field to return to the city. The TWA flight is to be taken today at 4:15 p.m.

MANY OFFERS RECEIVED
Just what business it was that called Sir Charles downtown last night was not divulged by the flyer or his friends, but it is known that the amiable ocean-hopper was considering a number of possibly lucrative contracts. Film, lecture and flying offers are piling in on him, it is said, as well as the usual avalanche of advertising tie-ups that are proffered celebrities.
Sir Charles and his friend, P. G. B. Morriss, dined with friends last night and retired early.
