VANCOUVER" Wash. June 20- Three Russian aviators who braved the North Polar wastes in a dar- ing illtcmpt to fly 6,000 miles from Moscow to Oakland, Calif. landed here today. grounded by bad wea- ther. approximately 580 mile; short of their goal.

Vancouver is across the Colum- biit River from Portland. Ore.

Tiicir exact whereabouts un- known for several hours in murky Norili Pacific weather. the intre- pid trio glided down to a perfect landing at Pearson Field. Vancou- vcr barracks. at 8:22 am. (1:22 p. nl. ADT), 64 hours and 17 min- utcs after leaving Moscow. Through an interpreter. the fliers. Pilot. Valeri Chekolofi. 33; Co-Piiot Georgi Phillipovitch Bai- bilkofi‘. 30. and navigator Alexan- der Vassiiievitch Beliakofi, 40. said tile landing was made because of poor visibility.

Nothing was wrong with the ship and they were aware of their position. they added.

Lieut. 1-I. A. Reynolds. formeralr mechanic at the fleld. said the big. singlc-nlotored plane made a“bcau- tiful landing" after its radio had previously reported minor moch- anieal troublc.

At eight am. the United States Signal Corps headquarters at Scat- tie picked up a message from the plane saying "Pumips do not work. Will land at Portland". Cllckaloft said there was suffic- ient fuel when they landed. how- ever. to continue 750 miles. far more than enough to reach Oak- land.

From Oakland. Calif.. General W. E. Gilmore, National Aeronau- ticulfllfsisociation representative. in-

strucied oflicials at Pearson Field to remove recording instruments from the Russian plane.

Gilmore said this action. taken at the request of Russian Anlbas- sador Alexander Troyaovsky. would mean the attempted lifoscovr-Oak- land flight was ended at Vancou- ver.

"Tile skill alld daring of tilc three Soviet airmen who have so brilliantly carried olit this historic feat commands the highcstpl-ai ’ President Roosevelt wired Soviet Ambassador Troyanovsky. “Please convey to them my warmest coll- gratulations."

State Secretary Hull telegraphed greetings on the "successful torm- iriation of the hazardous flight".

In Washington the Soviet bassy expressed gratification over the cooperation received from a;- encies of the American and Can- adian Governments in helping them make the trans-Polar flight- possible.

The fliers. heading almost straight northward from Moscow. flew nearly 1.000 miles overland to the Kola Peninsula. northeastern- most tip of’ European Rilssia, thence over the Arctic Ocean to Franz Joseph Land, 1,750 miles from their starting point.

At the Island point they changed course slghtly and headed almost straight for the true Pole. 700 miles further on. They reported passing the vicinity of the Pole at early Saturday.

The fliers passed close to the north magnetic Polc.a little known spot in the far north Canadian Islands. The route also took them through one of the Arctfc’s two great "blind spots”.

Actresses who played Peter Pan when it was first produced were among those who mourned. George Bernard Shaw added a isrusquc comment.

“Barrie had a good. ion: 11's," Shaw said. "He said everything h" wanted to say and now he's dead. I silPPOSe I‘ll be dead shortly.

"Barrie and I were always good friends. but I don't feel senil- mcntal about his death."

J. Ramsay MacDonald. fcrmtr premier, dcvlarcd that "as long as there is a Scottish mind left in the world Barrie will reillain a memory that will be associated with the very best qualities in Scottish literature."

Funeral services will be hold Thursday at Kirriemiiir. Sfottish village where Barrie was born and which he made famous asthe setting for a “Window in 'I‘ilrums." A memorial service in London “as planned.

Barrios earliest Works. such as "My Lady Nicotine." gained him inlinediate recognition. His fame increased with “The Little Min- ister." "The Admfrable Crichton," and “A Kiss for Cinderella." Last year. aftcr l0 years of inactivity. he wrote "The Boy David." which ‘achieved success in Scotland and England.

Although he wrote little since 1922. Sir James retained until his death the affection of a. large seciinli of the Enziisll-speailill! public, which chuckled over‘ the advciliures of "The Adm'rab‘e Crichton" on a desert ‘sand and cricrl with Pcicr Pan.
