NO WORD AT ROME
(Press Assn.-

Rec. Oetoberl, 7.50 p.m. LONDON, Thursday. The "Daily Mail's" Rome correspondent says it is supposed that Air Commodore Kingsford Smith has either made a forced landing at an isolated spot or has refuelled somewhere and has proceeded direet to England. The British Air Attache. waited at the aerodrome until nearly mid-night. Paying a tribute to Kingsford Smith, the "Daily Telegraph" asks: "What puts the airman in the highest class?" The paper expresses the opinion that Kingsford Smith's secret cannot be put into a single word. "He simply has every quality required," the "Telegraph" says, "brilliant technical skill, courage, good humour in adversity and a wonderful physique. He has accomplished almost every long distance flight worth attempting."
