MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1934. PAGE ELEVEN A fa GIANT BALLOON HARD 10 START INTOJJPPER SKY Stratosphere Bag Will Be Re leased Near Rapid City, S. D. Plane to Watch Start, Observe Functions WASHINGTON. D. C (Spl.) Get. ting the world's largest balloon Into the air for the National Geographic Socletv-U. S. army air corpse strato sphere flight will be one of the most difficult prooiems concerned wun the project because the huge bag will be sensitive to the slightest breeze. It has been announced that the take off will be made from a hill-encircled basin near Rapid City, 8. D., at dawn on the first day after June 23 on which there Is promise of excellent weather. The handling of the balloon In the air will require the utmot skill of Major William E. Kepner, one ot the army's outstanding balloon pilots, as well as the aid of Captain Albert W. Itevens, who, although his part In the flight la observer and photogra pher, will at times be called upon to assist In discharging ballast. But there are problems of great moment before the expedition soars skyward. The Inflation of a 3.000,-000-cublo-foot balloon has never be fore been attempted. Hydrogen will be piped Into the great mass of rubber-Impregnated cotton cloth until It begins to take shape and rises high enough to permit the attachment of the gondola and the making of other final arrangements for the take-off. The bag will take on the appear ance of a mushroom head at the top owing to the pocketing and expansion of the gas. A long stem win extend downward, due to gathering of the folds of the lower, unfilled portion. At this stage the large balloon will be like an enormous Jellyfish stand ing on a wobbly tall. Only about 10 per cent of the gas that the bal loon could hold will be piped Into It, Room must be left for great ex pansion under the low pressure condi tions of the rare upper air. During inflation, a small balloon, 'Attached to a cable, will be sent up and pulled around the bag. It will carry a balloon expert who win in spect the rigging, the folds In .the bag and the seating of the valves at the top. After the take-off an observer In an airplane will follow the bal loon and, by prearranged signals will Inform the officers In the gondola whether the balloon Is functioning properly. The trained ground crew must be on the alert every moment. Holding such a large Inflated bag Is like hold ing an enormous sail which Is diffi cult to manage even in the slightest breeze. The balloon will be started upward with enough "lift" to make sure that It win hurdle the enclosing hills and cliffs before it Is caught by surface winds. 200 Pigeons In 100 Shots WICHITA PAILS, Tex.
