The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday llornin?, June 21, 1931 pag:: r..v y m INTEREST ik 1U HIGH FLYIfJG Success of Piccard in the Stratosphere Balloon trip is Incentive By WERNER BERLIN. (AP) Exploration of the stratosphere, that practi cally frictlonlcss sky-highway ot the future. Is the dream of scien tists experimenting In various part of Germany with rockets, super-altitude airplanes and pro pulsion motors. The success of Augusta Piccard. Swiss physicist of the University of Brussels, in ascendtg nearly 10 miles la a balloon has fired them to fresh efforts. Some of .the Germans are seek ing first ot all scientific data on the nature of the earth's outer most layer of atmosphere. , Others are aiming at 10-mtle-hih rocket planes that would, theoretically, go around the world In SO minutes. Plan "Mall Buckets' Still others are interested chief ly in rockets as a means of shoot ing mall from city to, city, while those with an eye to military uses are thinking of radio directed i rockets as a defense against air raids. :. - " While Piccard was attaching ' bis airtight aluminum ball to his big balloon at Augsburg1 the Jankers aircraft works at Dessau has been building a super-altitude airplane, with a cabin as airtight as Piccard's spherical "basket" and with special devices for sup plying oxygen to the plane's crew la the highly rarefied atmosphere 10 miles up. , This plane is not expected to do any high speed trans-Atlantic fly ing, but the data obtained with it . will. It is hoped, lay the ground work for high speed flights through the stratosphere. Particularly Interesting in con nection with the Jankers plane. though not directly connected with IE, are the rocket-motor experi ments of Paul . Heylandt. . " With Max Taller, another pio neer rocket experimenter, Hey landt last year developed seven pound rocket motor capable ef popelling an automobile at high speed. - - Yalier was killed by a motor ex plosion, but Heylandt has eontln- ued the experiments and lately an nounced development of 200 h. p. with a rocket motor weighing but IS pounds. "Shofcrua Motor" This motor looks as simple a a shotgun. Its propulsive force is the recoU resulting from explo sion of liquid oxygen and gaso line. Ignited at what might be called the "muzzle" of the motor. ' Heylandt proposes to keep his . roeket-motor on an automobile chassis until he has developed it to Its highest efficiency, then it can be installed on an airplane designed for stratosphere flying aad tried out In high speed long . . distance work. - At Oanabrueck, B-einhold Til ing has developed a. powder rock et which he says can. go up Uke a bullet and glide back to earth like a sailplane. Another experimenter. Johan nes Winkler, has demonstrated at Dessau a liquid fuel rocket so eos-' ily controlable that its landing point can be calculated with, abso lute exactness. I In Berlin the space-flying en thusiasts have .established a 'rocket airport" where experi ments with seven-foot rockets are being carried on:" With the American, Robert Coddard, backed by the Guggen heim fund experimenting tn the United States, with another American, Darwin O. "Lyon, at tacking the problem in. Italy aid "with scientists in Prance and Rus sia also actively interested, there is always a chance that Germany may be only an onlooker when the first successful roeket soems through the stratosphere. f RADIO ORGAN'S" INNARDS - .:.Ja.t..,w(t..,t,t) . . 1 V; Captain Richard XL Ranger, inventor of devices for sending pictures W wireless, is shows examining the many mechanisms which, when ribrated from tae keyboard ef his console by remote control, repro iuce by electricity may sound that caa be made by a vioUav piaae, rgan or flute.

' ?:i4 ' ixi.:." t :':A m CROP IT 1 BRUHllG B ITTEH BUTTLE France Sees ofd Statesman Polishing Sword ! for Newolitical Fray By ADELAIDE KERR ; PARIS (AP) The future battle for which Arlstide Rriand is believed to be polishing his po litical sword is awaited by France with keen interest. t : . ' Politicians agree that the French foreign minister's' defeat for1 the p residency, waa the most staggering blow his prestige has ever' received in a career full of knocks. But the warrior who bat tles for peace has other arrows in his quiver, they declare, and al ienee means he Is ; sharpening them. ' J ? " . After his defeat Briahd offer ed' his resignation as 'foreign minister because he believed Id had been betrayed by politicians who had premised to support him but, in reality . bad worked against him. : . I : ' . His enemies said his defeat was France's way of expressing her disapproval of his foreign pollclea "his sacrifice of French interests to retain European peace." ." -r i '" t ". - -; Neutrals asserted that he fail ed of election : because he faced a vote without a chance to "use his silver tongue." For the first time, they pointed out, Briand, at a crisis, couldn't make a speech. Another Clutnce One June 14, however, he will have' a chance to speak again. Then he will address French war veterans of the Department of Lot at Gourdon. "And then," says the. oldtlmers. "watch- the fire works!" , ' : Brland's speeches hare : long been the terror of his enemies. He never makes note. He pre pares his set speeches several weeks In advance, turns his back on them, and depends on. his crowd 1 sense and the memory which he sharpened in his youth by learning his lessons , while pacing the sands of Brittany with an old Freneh professor. He comes into the chamber with . bis slow, lumbering : gait, stoop-shouldered, tousle-h a 1 red, lowering-browed. He has the cur iously defeated air of a broken old mastiff until he starts to speak. r He begins In a deep measured voice, drops to a confidential whisper, explodes at the end like a cartridge and the victory is in the bag. "Man ef People" Briand hates big words, labor ious systems, ostentation.' He dreads official receptions i aad welcoming bands as a small boy dreads the dentist. Bern a peas ant, he remains a "man ef the people." Since his youag lawyer days, when he spread socialistic prop aganda and defended, labor un ions, he has had a trick: of seek ing out peasants and laborers to discuss their problems first band. With whom ever he deals he al ways manages to "just talk ft over"' first. That is the tack he used in con ferences preceding the Treaty of Locarno and the Kellagg-Briand pact, aad more recently in intro ducing his scheme for an Euro pean confederation. ? - ' . He dislikes the atmosphere of conference rooms because he be lieves it is impossible to break down barriers of fear and suspi cion there. , J , ; Briand has been known to seize the birthday of a delegate's wife as the chance for a "get-together" party "before a confer ence. w ! He surrounds bis guests with good food, good talk, gets them relaxed and off their guard and lets human nature do the rest.
