TIME IS UP
By Associated Prqas
Foryt-tight hours have passed since the Polish rtans-Atlantic
flyers, Majors Idzikowski and Kubala hopped off from LeRmrget
Field. They carried fuel sufficient for continuous flight of forty-
eight hours. This means that at 11:40 p. m. Saturday, eastern
standard time, they had passed the forty-eight hour mark. Each
heur, therefore, puts a heavy strain on the small thread of hope
to which friends of the expedition still cling.
