Possibility of the National Aero- nautic Association sanctioning the Dallas-Hongkong flight competition for the $25,000 Easterwood prize seemed more possible today when it was learned that redrafting of regulations governing the flight was under consideration by its sponsors. The Federation Aeronautigue Inter- nationale, governing body of organ- ized aviation, has forbidden its mem- bers from taking part in the flight unless it is sanctioned by the Ameri- can body. This action will bar the Aero Club of China from participation in the flight plan to any great extent. How- ever, if the rules governing the com- petition are revised, officials of the National Aeronuatic Association will consider approval of the flight. The principal change would be a provision for deposit of the $25,000 in a bank in advance of the flight, subject to with- drawal on certification of the Ameri- can body that the flight had been made successfully. The ban placed on participation in the flight by member pilots of the Aeronautic Association affects ap- proximately 7,000 American aviators flying land planes and 1,000 pilots of seaplanes. Foreign flyers belong- ing to aero clubs which are members of the International Aeronautic Fed- eration also will not be able to com- pete unless the rules governing the competition are changed. Complications arising from a lack of sanction by the National Aeronautic Association would eliminate many of the leading flyers of the world from the competition.
