FLIGHT DELAYED
LITIGATION INTERVENES AVIATOR’S GRIEVANCES Received Mav 19, 11 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) NEW YORK, May 19. A series of disagreements in connection with the proposel flight to Paris has culminated in a temporary legal injunction being obtained by Lloyd Borland, the recently appointed pilot for the proposel flight, restraining the Columbia Aircraft Corporation and Charles Levine, chairman of the Board and backer, from attempting the Pans flight without him. 11 was first proposed that Chamberlain and Acosta should attempt the flight, but Acosta withdrew, giving his weight as the excuse. It is understood that he disagreed with Levine. The latter then appointed Bertaud. There were continual disagreements over the. prize-money and insurance, and the airmen aired their grievances in the newspapers. Bertaud eventually offered to buy the ’plane outright, which was refused, and Levine ultimately dismissed Bertaud, causing the application for the injunction. The involved situation is likely to delay the flight for a considerable time.
