MOFFETT PLANES FLY OVER Clydesdale and Company of Aviators Look Down On Mt. Everest PURNEA, India, April S. (AP) Two airplanes sailed across the summit of Mt. Everest today and for the first time In history men looked down on the highest mountain in the world. The feat was accomplished by the Marquis of Clydedale, ac companied by Lieutenant Colonel L. V. Stewart Blacker, and Flight Lieutenant IX F. Mclntyre, who had an expert photographer nam ed Bonnett. The photographer succeeded In taking a number of pictures which, it was hoped, would pro vide an authentic record of the conquest of the. 29,141 foot moun tain, on the sides of which num erous men have perished attempt ing by old-fashioned methods to gain the honor of being the first to reach tne top. The two airplanes flew to an altotude of 35.000 feet (about 6.6 miles) in 90 minutes. At the peak they found a wind velocity of 60 miles an hour.

The Akron, they remember, nosed Into sight from the direc tion of the airport here at 5:05 a. m. that morning, headed over the capitol, sailed on over the city and veered northeast. The ship disappeared into the base after being 40 minutes In view from vantage points over the city. . Commander Charles E. Rosen- dahl was In charge on the big air ship when it visited the north west. On its return southward, the Akron followed the coast line, disappointing the thousands of Willamette valley residents who slept through the early morning appearance. WASHINGTON, April 4 (AP) Officers at the Lakehurst naval station told the navy department here early today in a telephone conversation that In their opinion the chances of the dirigible Ak ron's survival in Atlantic seas were "slight."
