The newspapers have joined in, presenting the viewpoints of doctors, sociologists, the mother, the father, the church. The Tagesspiegel even printed 500 words "in the name of the embr”....”

50-Year-Old Yawl To Try Atlantic Crossing

BY RICHARD OREGAN

The youthful crew of the 50-year-old yawl, "White Cloud," who intend to attempt a 5,500-mile crossing of the "Atlantic,"will probably beˇone of the busiest writing, painting

and picture-taking crews ever to cross an ocean.

Each of the three men and three women voyagers has some private artistic project to work on as long as the "White Cloud," unequipped with radio.. keeps away from storms on its Odyssey from Sandbank, Scot- lund, to Portland, Maine.

The party includes two English Journalists, Miss Dortheen Ingham, London, and Ellan Alinn.

They will be accompanied by two American airmen and their wives. Mr and Mrs Gordon B. Clark, and Captain and Mrs Westley Love, who are now in Germany.
