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

unreal as st&ge prop. 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."

Wall St. Report
NEW YORK, 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.

sitlon given by the Clipper.
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.
Could Float Indefinitely
She was capable of riding the
waves Indefinitely, provided her hull
was not damaged In an Impact with
the water.
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. The Samoan
was not in regular service, but was
being used, under command of the
veteran Capt. Edwin C. Mustek, to
pioneer an Australian service.

memory of the men who died In

Captain Terletcky of the Hawaii
Clipper was described by Pan Ameri
can officials as one of their best
fliers. He started flying for the com
pany about ten years ago, and for
merly was attached to the South
American and Caribbean lines. He
was a 43-year-old naturalised Rus
sian. 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.
