OCEAN FLIGHT
AIRMAN TURNS BACK. RUDDER CONTROL BROKEN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Seattle, May 29. The airman Browne, who took off for Tokio, returned on Sunday after a seven hours’ flight due to a broken oil line and a broken rudder control which caused the ship to vibrate badly. He is planning to refuel over the airport on Monday for another start. Browne said the oil line broke as he was cruising northward near the north end of Vancouver Island. He was blinded for a while by the hot oil and almost crashed because he was flying Sow. The rudder control wire was broken when the tail assemblage raked a tree as he was trying to climb after leaving the airport here.
