NO FLIGHTS PLANNED.
MISS BATTEN’S DENIAL. LONDON, Dec. 22. In an .interview to-day Miss Jean Batten emphatically denied her intention of attempting to , break Messrs Scott and Black’s England-Australia record early next year. “I cannotunderstand the rumour and there is absolutely- no truth in it,” she said. “I have no plans for flights in the immediate future.” Miss Batten has recovered from her recent severe chill. She has been obliged, however, to cancel most of her engagements and intends to take a quiet holiday in the country to recuperate after the strain of the last few weeks. She was to have spent Christmas with Viscount and Viscountess Bledisloe at their home in Gloucestershire, but this invitation also had to be declined. It is Miss Batten’s intention to make a trip to the Continent in January.
