MEDFORD MATL TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON1. FRIDAY. JULY 29. 193S. PAGE THREE EDITOR DESCRIBES SAILPLANING TAME AFTER IT'S OVER Hitch-Hiking With The Wind Gives Writer On Aviation Kick In The Pants, Touch Of Cold Feet, Swell Ride. By DEVON FRANCIS (AP Aviation Editor) EtMIRA. N. Y. All right. I said, I would fly In one of the contrap tions. The sailplane looked docile enough, but so did my grandfather's mare when she up and kicked me at Letts, la., tn 1910. For the Information of other land lubbers, a sailplane is a glider with a college education but no motor. With good atmospheric conditions. It can fly several hundred miles on nothing but air currents. Its pilot must hitch-hike with the wind. My pilot. Peter Rledel, one of Ihe German experts helping popularize soaring flight in this country, rub bed his chin, looked me over and said "Hm-m. Strap him In." No Time to Change Mind I had wanted to think It over for a while. But Peter's assistants al ready were bundling me Into a parachute and lifting me Into the rear cockpit of the plane. "Won't It be quite a little time be fore we take of?" I asked. "I mean a few minutes, anyway? Won't It?" "No," said Peter, settling himself In his seat. A man threw a safety belt across my lap. Another threw some csnvas straps across each shoulder. I would have a swell chance to use a para chute In that get-up. . The narrow wings to either side seemed to stretch into Infinity. Be fore me on the dual Instrument board were a lot of dials Indicating rate of climb, degree of turn, alti tude and so on. "like an Elevator" 'Feet and hands olf the controls." someone said, fitting a pliable, trans parent cockpit over my head. He needn't have been so snappish. After all. It was my neck we were taking aloft. "Rope," said Peter. ' The end of a tow-line several hun dred feet long was clamped to the nose of the sailplane. At the far end of the runway a motor winch would wind It up and thus give the plane a flying start. "Heyl" I yelled "I forgot my hati" But the plane was under way. We rumbled over the ground. The control stick came back Into my stomach. We were up. "Like an elevator, eh?" asked Peter. Quiet Like a Tomb ' A man can't reply when his ton gue Is stuck to the roof of his mouth. A funny sound came from the front of the plane. I grabbed for a band-hold and closed my eyes. "Dropped the tow. hear It?" I blew out my breath. Yes." I saw. "Nice flight, a very Interesting flight." A gust of wind at the Up of a hill caught us. We splraled up. A constant swish, like the beating of distant surf, filled my ears. That was the flow of air around the wings at 45 miles sn hour, otherwise It was quiet. Like a tomb. Above and slightly beyond us was a cottony, cumulus cloud with a dark gray base. "Good lift there." said Peter, ma neuvering. We caught the updraft. It was like a kick In the pants. The altimeter needle raced 500, 600. 700 feet. The plane was standing on Its left wlng tlp as my pilot fought to keep It In the vortex of thd up-current. ,We levelled off In still air. nose slightly down to maintain flying speed. The Chemung river valley below was a patchwork of brilliant greens. Above us the blue dome of the sky was hung with blobs of clouds, ss THE NEW ROXY ANN Confectionery "Where it's always cool" Hot Salad Plat!

Turquoise hills rimmed the horizon. And always there m that swlan of distant surf. "Enough?" asked Peter. "Well." I said, "ITe got an ap pointment." The plane wheeled toward the field, describing lazy spirals. We coasted In. ispollere" little rectan gular pieces of metal on either wing stood upright to break the lift of the air and speed our de scent. We touched, .skidding to a halt In 75 feet. The people were still there, look ing. A candid camera addict snapped a picture, aiming at Bledel. not me. I smiled brightly, but nobody no ticed. "Nice trip?" asked one of Rledel's assistants. "A little tame," I said. "Just a little tame." , Livestock PORTLAND, Ore., July 29.

P) A fur ther promising stock market rally bogged down on' the home-stretch of today's session and forenoon gains running to a point or more were sub stantially reduced or turned Into losses of as much. Late selling In the steels darkened the market horizon and even the buoyant motors of the morning slip ped with the rest of the list In the final hour. A little buying support appeared Just before tiie finish and most leaders closed above their lows. The market got off to an Indiffer ent start but soon slanted upward on expanded volume as the automo tive group again come Into popular ity. Dealings slowed appreciably on the set-back. Transfers approximated 1,250,000 shares. With business news still pointing to better things, at least by fall, brokers were Inclined to attribute the afternoon's retreat mainly to the desire of ln-and-out traders to cash In over the week-end.

From Legaspi the two amphibians and five bombers were directed to comb a widespread area for trace of the flying boat. The planes, each with a flying range of 1100 miles, were Instructed to sweep over a path out to sea 70 miles wide, fly ing 10 miles apart. AU United States naval ships tn the ' Manila area were ordered to, get up steam to Join the search. These Included the destroyers Ed sall. John D. Ford and Stewart: six submarines, flagship Canopus of j submarine division five, the sub-1 marine , rescue vessel Pigeon, the mine-sweeper Bittern and the air- i craft tender Heron. They were expected to steam out i at midnight reaching the area with- I In 13 bours. The navy shore patrol j hurriedly combed the downtown area for sailors on shore leave. Send Radio Call. As she approached the Clipper's ; position the transport Meigs con tinually sent out the flying boat's call letters KHAZB without get ting a response. 1 For several hours after the Clip per's usual landing time between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Pan American officials Insisted they were not wor ried. At 630 p. m., one official, although unable to explain the Clipper's fail ure to report by radio at the regu-j larly scheduled Intervals, paid: i "She had to go around the storm , and buck headwinds, therefore we did not expect her until around 6 o'clock tonight. Even now we con sider her only a half hour late. But that Is not unusual." The Hawaii Clipper, under com mand of Capt. Leo Terletzky of Palo Alto, Calif., carried six passen gers and a crew of nine. The last position given by the fly ing boat was 12:27 north longitude, 130.40 east latitude. This Is approxi mately 600 miles east of the Philip pine Island of Samar. The Hawaii, one of three flying boats tn regular trans-Paclflc service for Pan American airways, left her eastern base at Alameda. Calif., last Saturday.

Only tragedy in all of Pan Ameri can's Pacific flying was last January 11 when seven, men were killed In the mld-alr explosion of the Samoan Clipper while dumping her load of gasoline for an emergency landing near Pago Pago, Samoa.

In addition to her crew and pas sengers, the plane carried several hundred pounds of mall and express. . Many Miles Flown Pan American officials said the three ships flying the Alameda-Ma-nlla route logged a total of nearly 3.000.000 miles of flying over the Pacific. The ship, equipped with four 800 horsepower Wasp motors, could fly if one motor cut out, and mode rately loaded as the ship was, tt could keep aloft even If two engines stopped, If the pilot "tacked" It to keep It on an even keel. If undamaged, the Clipper's double radio sets could summon aid. even If the ship were forced down on the water. The radios have a range of 1400 miles. Every advanced Instrument for air navigation and one life pre server for each passenger was in cluded In the equipment. Although the ship carried only IS persons, Including crew members, on the current flight, it was capable of carrying 53 persons, Including crew members, on daylight flights. BY EX- O. M.
