Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd and the crew of the airplane America and Clarence Chamberlin came back home today in a rain storm. Thousands of New Yorkers gathered In lower Broadway at the city hall and at the ibattery and Joined in giving them a welcome home which, while not comparable to the demonstration for Col.

Charles A. Lindbergh, was proof that New York was happy to have them back. Just at noon they stepped ashore from the- city's cutter 'Macom at the, fcot of Brtadway and came In triumphant parade, with soldiers and sailors and (bands escorting them, to the City Hall, where James J. Walker greeted them In the city's name. In Be midst of the ceremonies at the city hall, however, the skies which had been threatening rain since early morning, finally broke and a downpour began which sent hundreds from the streets scurrying for shelter.

Shortly p.fter the Leviathan, on which the flyers returned, arrived Quarantine, the cutter Macom, with the (official welcoming party, went down the bay. The group on board included Charles A. Lindbergh, Mrs. R. E.

Byrd. mother of the Commander; Mrs. pcoville, wife of Lieutenant N'oville; and Mr. and Mrs. O.

J. Noville, his parents; Mrs. Bert Acosta. Floyd Bennett, Byrd's companion on the ps'orth Pole flight, who still is walking with the aid of crutches "because of a recent air crash; Harry F.

Just before noon the 'Macom, escorted iby a fleet of yachts and motor boats, forming the marine parade, returned to the ibattery. Whistles in the lower harbor ibroke out in terrific din. Ferry boats stopped and saluted as the parade went by. Blrens shrieked.

As the noon hour struck the Macom was '(warped into her slip and the crowds sent up an acclaiming roar which drowned the music of the massed bands and vied with the howling of the sirens. The fliers came off the boat at 12:05. The fliers haled a moment ti shout 'Hello, ps'ew York" into a microphone, but the sirens abd whistles almost drowned out their greeting to the radio audience. "Hello, awfully glad to see you," shouted Chamberlln. "Hello, friends, glad to be 'back," Acosta said.

The crowds lining lower Broadway learned ron the shrieking 'sirens that the flyers had arrived and the cheer of greeting spread, block iby block, to City Hall Park, where a throng waited for the ceremonies. A parade of mounted police and automobiles started at 12:10 before the fliers themselves arrived at the cars waiting for them. The parade moved smoothly. The inevitable snowstorm of paper floated from windows along Broadway and hundreds of rolls of ticker tape and serpentines swir-ed through the air dropping on the frcwd and the "procession, In the procession, Commander Byrd and Grover iWhalen occupied the first car. Then came a car with Bert Acosta and Clarence Chamberlin.

Lieut. Noville and Bakhen were in the third car and Mrs. Byrd and iMra, Walker occupied the fourth: I Gov. Harry Byrd' of Virginia and Captain Thomas Byrd, brothers of the commander, followed in an-' other car. I As the head of the parade arrived at City Hall Park, Mayor Walker and other city officials, members of the diplomatic corps, military and naval officials and other celebrities took their places In the reviewing stand and the parade pass-led Jn review.

Whalen then Introduced the fliers. He hailed them as a "group of American aviators whose deeds of daring and aviation skill have forged new links between this country and those across the Atlantic France and Germany." IMayor Walker defied the rain which began falling In the midst of the introductions hnd took his place to speak briefly in welcome. As he spoke the skies grew darker and darker. He recalled the recent ceremonies In the same place for ICharles A. Lindbergh.

He said the five fliers Who returned today deserved the heartiest welcome it was possible to S-iVB. "They have conquered the force of nature; they have conquered time, in that they have turned weeks into days and days into hours; they have conquered space; they have conquered the admiration of all the A special sale of two piece Summer Suits, in Palm Beach, Mohairs and Tropical Worsteds at $5.95, former prices $12 to $18.

"These five fliers all are American citizens, yet each has sprung from a different country." Byrd came forward to respond to the mayor's address and, standing in the rain, looked out upon a crowd which had dwindled by at least 60 per cent, since he arrived at the city hall. "This is the second time within 13 months that I find myself having the pleasant duty of thanking the greatest oity In the world for her hospitality and open armed welcome," he said. "Naturally my shipmates and I are greatly moved and deeply and humbly appreciative. "We wish to say that we are proud to share your reception with Clarence Chamberlin, a gallant flier whose at we think is unexcelled In the history of aviation. I take my hat off to him.

If we weren't with him we would be out in front with the crowd to help honor him. "Now I want to say a word about my shipmates Noville, Acosta and Ealchen. They are 'the salt of the I selected them because I thought they were ot the best type of mind and in no case am I disappointed. They expected no glory there were no prizes awaiting them. They risked their lives for the profit of aviation and when the great mo ments came they still functioned ef ficlently and faced calmly the disas ter that seemed certain.

I felt very keenly the responsibility for their lives, but I was proud of them, for I saw that they had a heart for any fate. AVe must not forget Bennett at this time. He almost sacrificed his life for the cause of this flight. "We are very grateful to Mr. Rodman Wanamaker for giving us the opportunity.

The crusing of the Atlantic into France has been his dream fr many years. "Now for a word about France. We have exactly the same message to bring that Lindbergh brought that everywhere we went we got greetings of friendship for America. We had, I believe, the toughest battle in the air and the French appreciated' It and our own peoplecould not have been happier over our safety than they were. Our reception was spontaneous.

"Wherever we went there were crowds to greet us and the expression pf Joy and pleasure from the greatest statesmen and humblest citizens came from the hart and was more eloquent than any word could have been. They were greeting in Us the people of America. They gave us their very best and America cannot forget that. We, to them, for the moment were America. The pinpricks cannot hurt when we know the.

henrt of France." Mayor Walker presented the medal of valor of the city of New York to Commander Byrd. The medal was accompanied by a citation from the mayor. The medal of valor was then pinned on Clarence Chamberlin and a citation reeittng the history of the Bellanca's flight was read. Lieut. Noville was presented with his medal.

Bert Acosta came next and Bal-chen received his award. Reading of citations of the last three was dispensed with because of the rain. "I seem to carry rain with me wherever I go," Commander Byrd said, cocking his eye at the still darkening sky. "I think you folks are heroes to wait In the rain for the rest of this ceremony. The rain slackened as Chamberlin, following Byrd began to speak.

He said it was always hard for him to say anything after Commander Byrd because he did it so well and "I am such a contrast." "AVe had receptions In many cities in Europe and none was as large as this," he said. "They all displayed the same enthusiasm, reflecting the feeling of the people of Europe for you people."
