DOUG CORRI GAN LANDS IN IRELAND IN ANTIQUATED PLAN% American Filer Took Off From Floyd Bennett Field Sunday at 4:17 A. M. EST and Landed at Buldonnel, Ireland, Airport at 8:30 A. M. EST Monday; Said He Was Going 'To Make Non stop Flight To I.ong Beach, Calif.; Made Hop In Single Motored Plane of Vintage of "Spirit of St. Louis" Dublin. Ireland, July 18.? Douglas P. Oorrigan, the Ameri can flier who took off from New York on a flight to "California" dropped unexpectedly from tha _ skies today at Baldonnel, Ireland. He made t>he flight in an anti quated single-motored plane of the vintage of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" in 28 hours and 13 minutes. He took off from Floyd Bennett field Sunday at 4.17 a. m. EST, and landed at Baldonnel airport for Dublin at 8:30 a. m. EST. Although a watch had been kept for the lone fljer in Ireland after news of his "mystery flight" from New York, his landing here caused the greatest surprise. Corrigan last year was refused a United States permit to attempt the trans-Atlantic flight to Ire land. Nothing had been heard^ from, him since his take-off. lie had no radio and only the barest! nav igating instruments. 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 cros sing aft?r reading cabled accounts of his "dilapidated craft." Because of the department of commerre rejection last year of his application for permission to make such a flight and because strict regulations cover such ocean trips, officials ati Floyd - Bennett field had doubted he would try a "sneak" hop. The officials had believed he carried only a navigating map of the United States with optional northern- and southern routes across the continuent. Before he arrived unheralded in New York slightly more than a week ago his name was known on ly to pilots and west coast avia tion experts. They rank him as a fine craftsman and a man who knew airplanes thoroughly. PEACE AGREEMENT IN CHACO CONFLICT * GIVEN APPROVAL Beunos Aires. July 20. ?
