LINDBERGH AIDS - AVIATION ADVANCE Progress Marked_Since Col- onel Made Noted Trip Six - Years Ago. . BY TERREL DE LAPP. Six years ago a lanky, fair-haired pilot cocked a weather eye at the North Atlantic. He had in mind a plan which the pubiic then regarded as a valiani form of suicide—a non-stop flight from New York to Paris. But he made it. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh skyrocketed into world fame on that hop, completed May 21, 1927. Since then most of his career has blazed in public print. His name has been’ used to advan- tage in connection with all aviation. He gets $25,000 a year as technical ad- | ‘viser for an airline. | But there is an important phase of | his many activitics which has bean| overlooked — his contributions to| the advancement of the present Ameri- can system of commercial air trans- portation, one that leads the world. Landing Gear Changed. ‘When he ordered a plane for his perscnal use, following his marriage, Col. Lindbergh wanted the craft to be | the last word in speed and safety. | While at the Lockheed aircraft fac- | tory he suggested to engineers that the | big ship's speed cculd be increased by | about 30 miles an hour through de- | signing landing 2ar—wheels and | braces—that cculd b folded up during flight. | ‘The only plane in the Nation at thal tim2 having such a device was the| little Eagle Rock bullet monoplane. | Aircraft manufacturers had not| realized that retractable landing gear | could be successfully installed on a| lasge commercial plane. | But the colonel's suggestion went | into the blueprint stage. and was dem- onstrated later in the first retractable unit devised for heavy-plane use. In the last two years the Lindbergh idea has épre‘ad throughout the- air- plane world. This year's modern passenger trans- ports are coming out of factories with | landing wheels that fold into their| wings like a duck’s feet | Wind resistance is cut down, the planes are faster and resultantly | cheaper to operate. Travel times are | being slashed, bills are lower. | And Col. Lindbergh, among flyinz men and engineers, receives much of | the credit. | His idea of installing a sliding hatch | on his open cockpit ship, turning an | airplane into a veritable convertible | coupe, also is being expressed in new | light-plane designs. | ‘With Herbert Hoover. jr., son of thc | former President, the colonel also takes | a keen interest in radio for aircraft.| Radio communication means added | safety to the airman and his pas- sengers. Col. Lindbergh is quietly at work tackling problems for safety and speed increases. He asks no credit for thes2 | endeavors, but he gets it from those | who know him best—the airmen. | Spinning Included in Stunts. ! Spinning an airplane may be fun for 2 few pilots, but it evidently has no at- | traction for the fiyers who have been | attempting to comply with new private | license requirements announced by the | Department of Commerce, Aeronautics branch. The department ordered that right | and left precision spins—intentionally | stalling a plane into a spin and making | it recover at the same compass point | from which it started twisting—were to be included in the sportsman pilot's bag | of maneuvers. | The result was a flood of protests | from fiyers and instructors—mainly that | the primary object of a fiyer is to know | how to prevent a spin rather than get | into éne. So a modification of the new rules | now is announced by Col. Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of Com- | merce for Aeronautics. !

As a result of his experimental brush with death Bottriell has made possible escape of airmen via the silken serial life preserver route. v Since that first leap with a ‘chute that was opened after the jumper left the ship, airmen have increased the fres drop distance to nearly 4 miles. Spud Manning, for instance, known throughout the nation for his delayed drops during past national air races, is able to hurtle 18,000 feet frcm a plane, practically “swim” in the air and assume any desired position, then open his silk lobe to break his fall and land safely.

Granted a reprieve at last from the rain and mud that had dampened its iirst three days, the National Capital Horse Show closed yesterday afternoon at Bradley Farms, Md, in a blaze of glory. Featuring the final session was a hunt team class of unparalleled bril- liance, in which the winner's trophy was donated by the President of the United States. Mrs, John Hay Whitney of Upper- ville, Va, won the President’s Cup as she had captured most of the import- ant honors throughout the show. In addition, her splendid gray trio, Bon Diable, Grey Knight and Grey Leggins, earned two other blue ribbons and two championship tricolors during the day. Preceding the major events of the afternoon, the younger generation of Washington and Virginia riders had a special exhibition which began at 10 am. and lasted until noon. For the first time in the 1933 season of the National Capital, a representa- tures plannied by its in money for the organization's chari- m(’Jh 5" Koight, the outstanding per rey A e oul g £ former of the Whitney string, repeated his 1932 u‘lumpl; et ‘hampionship of our-day compe- Mr. rnd Mrs. George Plummer's hunter tricolor.

In the children's divisions honors were evenly divided among half a doz:n young exhibitors, all of whom rode their own mounts most competently. - Miss Margaret Cotter of Washington won the coveted Good Hands Cup, presented by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Miss Patricia Henry was second. The horsemanship class for children under 12 went to Stanley Greene, 2d, of Leesburg, who also won several other ribbons in the pony jumping classes on his gray Queen of Sheba. Paulina Longworth, daughter of the late Speaker of the House, was placed third in the competition. Other winners in the morning con- tests were Miss Florence B. Sydnor's MINNEAPOLIS, May 13 ().

Seven excellent adult classes inter- mixed with the Good Hands Cup and the pony hunt teams provided during the afternoon one of the most satisfy- ing programs ever arranged at the Na- tional Capital show. Most of the pre- vious winners this season ran true to form throughout the day, but if possible performances were superior to the high level set in the first three days. Miss Julia Whiting’s Quicksilver was again the undefeated high jumper of the session, winning the difficult open jumping contest with a flawless per- formance. - The Fort Myer horse show team also had its jumpers ready for the test, with the result the Army riders made a clean sweep of the first three places in the triple bar jump, ‘lnd scored in the ribbons in the open class. In the hunter sweepstake, Mrs. Whit- neys greys won three out of the four places. Only Clearanfast, which was third, could cut into the prize money in addition to the Virginia team. Two Leg- gins and Grey Knight also took first and fourth in the ladies’ hunter classes.
