AIRMAN ARRESTED.
ON THE LATVIAN BORDER. ATTEMPT TO ENTER RUSSIA. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. MOSCOW, July 26. Mr Clyde Panghorn, American flier, Is reported to be under arrest at Velikiye Lukt, near the Latvian border. It Is alleged that he attempted to enter Russia without a passport visa. He was on a flight from Stockholm to Moscow, accompanied by Mr William SiroviCh, of New York, a member of Congress. It is said that Mr Panghorn left Stockhold at the last minute, and was unable to obtain a visa. He thought he could get one across the border. Soviet officials gave him 24 hours to obtain a- visa, or face deportation. Meantime, Mr Sirovioh has gone on to Moscow to try to arrange matters for Mr Panghorn there. The airman was completing arrangements for his long-deferred flight around the world, which was originally announced for June last year. He flew the Pacific with Hugh Herndon in 1931, after having been arrested in Japan for having landed without a permit. With Rosco Turner, he came second in the Melbourne Centenary Air Race from England.
