NEW YORK, May 8. Using the same monoplane engine which carried her safely across two oceans, and in which she made two record-breaking trans-continental flights, Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam completed the first non-stop flight from Mexico City to New York, landing at Newark airport at 10.30 tonight. She flew the 2070 miles in 14 hours 29 minutes.
