KEPT REAL AIMS
OF TRIP SECRET
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16. (AP)
The real alms of Wiley Post's north
western flight and Will Rogers'
actual part in It still are not defi
nitely known.
The venture was highly charged
with secrecy. The prevailing belle!
here was Post was enroute to Siberia
and Moscow to blaze a new air trail
to the soviet capital for . aviation
interests in this country. Prlends
rUo believe Rogers may have been
helping Post arrange and finance
the flight, impelled by his close
friendship 'with Post and with his
love of aviation.
Belief that Post's resources were
limited was bolstered by the fact
that the plane in which he flew was
not a new one. Although the engine
was new, the body was assembled
from other used planes at the Lock
heed Aircraft plant, Burbank. In
aviation circles here, the explana
tion for Post's not purchasing & new
plane was that he was "not rich"
and could, not afford It.
Although Post's plans to fly north
west and possibly on to Moscow,
were known for weeks In advance,
he would confirm them only to the
extent of saying he was going to
Alaska to hunt, or again that he
expected to "kill a tiger in Siberia."
The report that Rogers would ac
company Post came unexpectedly. A
week or so before Post was to have
left Union Air Terminal, Rogers was
at the hangar where Post waa hav
ing his plane groomed.
"Well. Wiley, maybe I'd Just better
hop in and go with you," Rogers
remarked.
Later, however, he would not con
firm any intention of accompanying
post.

chases of rights of way by the state.
