A COURT CLAIM
FOR AIRMEN’S EQUIPMENT. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received this day at 11.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 28. The trial has begun in a city court of a ■suit to recover 1229 dollars from Fokker Aircraft Corporation, by Abercrombie and Fitch, clothiers, on the plea that they equipped Kingsford Smith and crew with a quantity of tooth brushes, razors and combs, following a successful trans-Atlantic flight in June, 1930. It is revealed that Fokker hacked the flight to the extent of five thousand dollars. The Aircraft Corporation denies it authorised the purchase of personal equipment.
SYDNEY; June 29
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, interviewed in Sydney, told the “Sun” that the “New York Times” arranged with Abercrombie and Fitch to supply new civilian outfits on the completion of the flight. Ambercrombio’s agreed, on the understanding that we hand over our flying kits, to exhibit in their windows, which was done.
