San Francisco, June 24—Lieutenant Russell Maughan wrote a new and spectacular chapter in the history of man’s conquest of the air yesterday when he spanned the North Carolina continent in less than a day. The hazardous and grueling flight was his third attempt. He left Mitchel Field, New York at 2:59 ½ eastern standard time, halted briefly at five refueling stations enroute across the mountains and plains, and arrived at Crissy field, San Franciscu, 9:47-15 o’clock Pacific time last night.
