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.

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.
