A—4 YOUNG PILOT SURE OF EAST HOP MARK New Record Holdel; Expla‘ins Plane Was Faster Than That of Goldshorough. BY EDWARD SCHNEIDER, Solder of the Junior Trancontinental Alr- plane Speed Record. | LOS ANGELES, August 19 (NAN.A). | =I have done half of what I set out %o do. They tell me that I clipped 4 | hours and 22 minutes from Frank Goldsborough, jr.’s, transcontinental afr | record. My flying time from coast to | coast was 29 hours and 41 minutes. 1 I want to say, however, that my! Cessna monoplane is faster than the | ship Frank flew. I am sure that with | a little Juck I can set a new record going east, { | I got in here at the municipal airport | last night and hae had a good night's | sleep. d_like to go to the movie studios at Hollywood teday and see how they make pictures.

I hope that will be soon, so I can break the record snd be in time for the national air races at Chicago. I wouldn't advise anybody to start out on such a trip as I have taken un- less he can stand & lot of excitement and is not afrald of work. I started from Westfield Airport, New Jersey, early on the morning of the 14th, and | that was the day I had my narrowest escape on the whole trip. I was flying low over the Allegheni®s to dodge some thunder-storms when I lost the bottom of the fuselage on some trees. I thought I was & goner. But I got into Altoona safely, where the two years I spent learning to be a licensed mechanic as well as a_pilot came in handy. I was able to fix up the ship myself and leave again the next morn- ing. The weather was good and I was able to make 8t. Louls on my second d On the third day of the flight I landed at Wichita and had them put an extra 100-gallon gasoline tank in the fuselage. Compass Was Better, I had noticed that on the first part | of the trip the five-gallon can full of | asoline had thrown my compass off. | t read north all the time. After I got | the 100-galion tank the compass was a little better, but I still had te_fly by landmarks and maps because I could not trust it. From Wichita on West T was fiying over country I had never seen before. I had half a day left after they put in the new tank and started out for Albuquerque. Because the ship had no instruments by which I eould fly blind, I had to land on the desert at Anton Chico, N. Mex., when & storm overtook me. I guess the people there mever had seen an airplane so close before, be- cause they all ran around shouting *“Airplane!” There was no place for me %o sleep but in the ship, so I sat up all night, getting as much sleep as pos- sible. I guess that is why 50 sleepy last night. e trip from Anton Chico to here wasn't so bad. I had good weather at first, but just when I figured I had nearly reached my goal I saw fog ahead and set down about 50 miles from Los Angeles. They gave me directions there to a munieipal airport, which I thought was Los Angeles. Reached Wrong Place. was I found the port to which they had | ¢ directed me and landed. I got out of the ship and saw no one around, I was looking over some planes waiting for some one to meet me when a man walked up and asked me where I wanted my plane hangared. I told him that had all been arranged. But he| said no one knew me there, and I found | out I was at the Long Beach Municipal | Airport. It was dark then and I had yet to find Los Angeles. If I had had blind- flying instruments, I could have cut an | hour off the time T made. | 1 guess my dad and sister Alice were | relieved when they heard I was here ©O. K.

For two years I've wanted to fly from ecoast to coast both ways, and by the time I'm 19, on October 20, I hope my | wish will be fulfilled, besides holding both records.

SCHNEIDER HOLDS NEW JUNIOR CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT MARK Jersey City Youth Finishes Hop to Los Angeles in 29 Hours, 41 Minutes. Delayes at Destination by Making Landing at Long Beach Airport. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 19.—A slight, 18-year-old Jersey City youth, Eddie Schneider, today held the junior record for the fastest westward crossing of the United States. | Landing at the Municipal Airport at dusk yesterday, the young flyer com- | pleted his transcontinental crossing in & total flying time of 29 hours 41 minutes, Just 4 hours 22 minutes less than re: quired by the former record holder, the late Frank Goldsborough of New York. Schneider left Westfield, N. J., August 14, flying only daring the day time. He said he experienced much stormy weather along the route and damaged his plane slightly once when he struck a tree in landing at Altoona, Pa. Fog Near' Goal. Leaving Albuquerque, N. Mex, yes- terday morning, Schneider stopped at Holbrook, Ariz., for fuel at noon, taking off shortly afterward for Los Angeles. At Ontario, near his goal, he encoun- tered fog and landed for weather re- ports. Assured visibility was good over Los Angeles, Schneider took off again, but lost his bearings before he cleared the | mists and landed at Long Beach Muni- | cipal Airport. | Uncertain where he was, the young fiyer asked an airport attendant and was told he was at “the Municipal Air- | rt.” The answer led Schneider to be- | lieve he had reached his destination. | 8Several minutes later he discovered his | error. | Made Sure of Fuel. Upon reaching Los Angeles Municipal Airport Schuelder took no chances of making & similar mistake. To 50 en- thusiasts who ran out to meet him he shouted: | “Hey, I want to know for sure before I cut off my motor, is this the Los | Angeles Municipal Airport?” Recelving an affirmative answer, —— g VO |GOV. ADAMS WOULD SHIP | STOCK FEED FROM STATE | By the Assoclated Press. | DENVER, August 19.—Gov. W. H.| Adams yesterday expressed the belief | that shipping feed from Colorado drought-stricken districts would do more | to meet the acute situation faced by farmers and stockmen than importing live stock from those districts for Win- ter grazing on the lands of this State. In receipt of a telegram from Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, ad- vancing 'the proposition of shipping live stock into Colorado, Adams said he would reiterate the statement is- sued last week that Colorado had abundance of feed available to farmers nd stockmen less fortunately situated “As we said last week,” said the Governor, “we believe the more feasible plan would be to ship out Colorado's surplus feed to the districts affected by | the drought, and I am sure the farmers | of Colorado would be glad to help thelr | fellow farmers and stockmen in other States by seiling their feeds at & rea- sonable price.

Fears _of electrical power shortage this Fall through the falling of rivers as the result of the drought were al- {layed by A. H. Horton of the power re- | sources division of the Geological Sur- vey, Department of Interior, yesterday when he declared that the output of steam plants will be more than able to compensate for the water power defi- ciency. Mr. Horton said further that, con- trary to some opinions, the rivers are not now drying up, but are being fed with ground water which fell as rain | some months ago and which only now reaches the flowing streams. He ex- plained that the rivers may lose some level in the Fall unless heavy rainfalls | afford new water supply between now and that time. Outline of Conditions. Low levels in streams supplying water for power plants have caused a decline in the percentage of the output of elec- tricity by such plants, while the stock market depression of last Fall and en- suing business deflation e held pro- duction of power from all plants to about the same totals as last ye he explained. Usually there is about a 10 {per cent increase annually in power | production, it was explained. Conse- | quently steam plants which had planned |to expand equipment to take care of an increase can utilize that equipment, as well as emergency apparatus if nec- | | essary, to offset the drop in the output |of electricity by water power. Thus no power shortage is expected. Probably the demand for power dur- ing the rest of the year will not be great enough to overcome the effects ofr the business slump and bring the usual 10 per cent gain, it was pointed out. Many industries have been operating reduced forces on shorter hours and curtailed schedules and hence have not required as much electricity as they ordinarily would. Building and construction opera- tions likewise have fallen off, it was | stated, and the result has been to pre- | vent an increase in domestic con- | sumption of electric power. Sees No Appreciable Loss, | Mr. Horton said it was his impression that there would be no appreciable drop | in the output of electric power by water- | power plants. While the prevalent be- lief is that rivers are drying up rap- | idly, actually they are dropping slowly |in many instances, for they are being supplied with ground water, which likely fell some months ago as rain and is just now reaching the rivers. Summer dry- ness is usually not felt until October or November, Mr. Horton said. Thus effects of the drought of the last few ‘xeeks will not be apparent for some ime. Almost continuous rainfall from now until October or November might keep ‘rivers from falling, it was stated. But they have already dropped nearly to the minimum in all probability, so that even without rainfall further extensive de- clines would be unlikely. The output of electricity by water power should not be appreciably lower, therefore, it was said. It was pointed out that such produc- tion for June was not greatly below the total for May, and while no data are yet available for July, the decline again is likely to be alight, in the opinion of Mr. Horton.
