I 14 Monday, Dtcambcr 29, 1958 MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Balloon Believed Down in Middle Of Atlantic Ocean New York-fCPD-The missing balloon Small World that left the Canary Islands Dec. 12 on a transatlantic aerial voyage today was believed to be down in the middle of the At lantic Ocean. The balloon, with a special ly designed gondola that could be converted into a sailboat if forced down, was manned by a crew of three men and one woman on its attempted free flight across the Atlantic. Peter Elstob, promoter of the aerial voyage, said he believed the balloon was forc ed to land in the Atlantic dur ing a heavy rainstorm. No Fear Fell "Judging by the balloon's speed up until the time of last radio contact on Dec. 18, I would estimate that it went down just about in the mid dle of the Atlantic Ocean, Elstob told United Press Inter national today. Elstob said he felt certain the crew would complete the crossing under sail. "The special gondola was designed by Colin Mudie, one of the crewmen, who is both a naval architect and an ex perienced seaman," Elstob said. "According to the plan, Bushy Eiloart was to be in command of the operation while the balloon was air borne. In the event of a forced landing at sea, Mudie was to take command because of his vast experience in sailing. He also is the navigator. Three Weeks Expected Elstob said he believed it would take the gondola about three weeks to sail the re maining 1,500 miles to the West Indies. The tiny vessel carried 20 gallons of fresh water but was equipped with four solar stills for converting sea water to fresh water. It also carried a two-months supply of food for the crew. The crew, in addition to Eiloart, 51, and Mudie, 32, including Mudie's wife, Rose mary, 30, and Eiloart 's son, Timothy, 21, the radio op erator. Elstob said that earlier re ports from Venezuela that the Small World had landed there apparently were a hoax. Civil Rights Proposals Ready For New Congress Washington - (DPI) The Jus tice Department today pre pared a highly secret package of civil rights legislative pro posals to be presented to the new Congress. Attorney General William P. Rogers has been holding al most daily conferences at the department to work out the form of the Administration proposals. He also has made a number of trips to the White House. Lid on Discussions But the attorney general has clamped a lid on any dis cussions of the details. Depart ment officials said they did not want a premature an nouncement because some measures are not yet crystal lized. The wraps will be taken off the program by President Ei senhower in his State of the Union message to Congress, officials said. They said "anything that is proposed will be with the se rious intention of having it passed by Congress." Some persons outside the Adminis tration have said they do not expect the department to make any startling new pro posals. -The administration officials said they were trying to avoid legislation which might have a popular appeal such as dras tic anti-bomb laws, but which would not "legally hold water." New Subpoena Powers Administration officials have said they would seek new subpoena powers for the Justice Department. Such powers, similar to these held by the Internal Revenue Serv ice, would give the depart ment easier access to records, including voting registration rolls. In addition the Administra tion is expected to recommend that Congress prolong the life of the Civil Rights Commis sion beyond the September, 1959, deadline.
