PACIFIC FLYERS
WARM RECEPTION MOTION PICTURE COLONY VISITED PLANE STILL IMPOUNDED (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright ) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Los Angeles, Nov. 6. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith’s reception by the motion picture colony was much different from that accorded him six years ago when he was trying, to finance the “fantastic idea” of flying the Pacific. . To-day, he and Captain Taylor wined and dined with notables in the movie colony who listened instead of laughing when he said that before many years there would be a commercial transpacific air service in land aeroplanes, not seaplanes. The Lady Southern-Cross remained under attachment for the alleged debt, and as to-day was an election holiday no further legal moves were made in the battle to recover it. Captain Taylor proceeded to New York, and will then go to England to join an air transport service.
