THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. :C., THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1931, MISS EARHART SETS UNOFFIGIAL MARK Asserts Autogyro Points to Elimination of Weather Haz- ard—Reaches 19,000 Feet. By the Associated Press. WILLOW GROVE, Pa, April 9.— Amelia Earhart, who yesterday piloted an autcgyro to an unofficial altitude of 19,000 fect, belicvzs the “windmill” air- | plane points the way to eliminate a great deal of trouble aviators en-ounter | in bad weather. W:th Maj. Luke Christopher acting as official obs:rver for the National A io- nautics Association, the woman trans- atlantic fiyer made two flights in an | autogvro at the Pitcairn Field to es- tablish the “celling” for the craft. She | carried with her a sealed barograph, | which was sent to Washington for offi- wial examination. Using a standard Pitcairn autogyro | with a 300-horsepower Wright Whirl- | wind motor, she reached an unofficial | altitude of 18,500 feet on the first flight | and 19,000 or more on the second. The flights were made in the presence of her husband, George Palmer Putnam of | New York, and about 1,000 others. She | said she enjoyed both flights and hoped | to make another attempt later for a | higher mark. She was aloft an hour and 50 minutes on the first trip and an hour and 45 minutes on the second. Miss Earhart, who is vice president of the Ludington Lines, said:that ad- verse weather conditions were about the only things which actually disrupt reg- | ular air line schedules and that the in- | creased safety factor and probable de- | pendability of the autogyrq could not | but be very important to future com- | mercial air transport. She has purchased an_autogyro for | experimental purposes. She said that on the basis of the theoretical esti- mates the best altitude performance for this type of machine was about 20,000 feet.

After removal of Stinnes as district | leader in the north, a group of his fol- | lowers revolted against the leadership of Hitler. They seized the party's Berlin headquarters and for a while would not admit the Hitlerites. The Stennes fac- tion had objected to Hitler's policy, which they considered too inactive.
