Journalist World Fliers
ONE AT RANGOON. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, October 7. Mr. Ekins, one of the three American journalists, flying round the world, has arrived at Rangoon.
A cable received from Berlin on October 3 stated : The three American journalists who are racing round the globe lost their first, carefully-planned connection owing to the Hindenburg be ing four hours late. Accordingly they missed tho air liner to Rome from Frankfurt. Mr. Ekins flew to Vienna, Mr. Kiernan to Basle and Miss Kilgallen, to Munich. Tho Mayor of San Francisco has cabled offering a gold nugget as a prize for the first one dropping the flags of one European and one Asiatic nation on tho site of tho Golden Gate Exhibition, which is opening in 1939.
