Mr. and Mrs. Morris R. Schreiber, parents of 22-year-old Arthur Schreiber, stowaway on the “Yellow Bird” on its trans-Atlantic flight, were relieved and happy to learn of the safe landing of the plane near Comillas, Spain, and that although it was said that because of his extra weight the flyers missed their goal at Le Bourget, the world press hailed Arthur for his courage.

The Schreiber family are members of the Etz Chaim synagogue here. Arthur is a member of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association.
