XPULSION POLICY ALTERED. Ease Ousting of Hun- garians. By the Associated Press BELGRADE., December 8—A dis- position to minimize the gravity of the friction between Hungary and Yugoshvia was evident in government circles today. Officials indicated a milder policy might be pursued in the expulsion of unnaturalized Hungarians, although it was planned to go ahead with the program of deporting those who had not renounced their Hungarian cit- 1zenship. At the same time a vigorous denial that Yugoslav troops had participated in any military demonstration on the Hungarian border was issued by the foreign ministry. The ministry termed reports that Yugoslav troops had violated the Hun- garian frontier an attempt by Hun- gary “to divert the world’s attention from Yugoslavia's protest to the League of Nations against Hungary's complicity in the murder of our King.” While determined to complete the eviction of unnaturalized Hungarians, Government officials said the de- portees henceforth might be allowed additional time to prepare for their removal. ‘The legality of the pro- gram was strongly defended. but there were indications that the gov- ernment desired to propitia opinion abroad.

BARTELSVILLE, Okla., December 8—Wiley Post, stocky globe-girdling fiyer, believed today he had added the world’s altitude record for heavier- than-air craft to his flying laurels| with several thousand feet of space to spare. He made his second hop into (hz( stratosphere here yesterday and upon landing expressed the belief he had reached an altitude of at least 50.000 feet in his remodeled Winnie Mae, the ship in which he twice flew around the world. Italian Holds Record. The present world record, 47352.2 feet, is held by Lieut. Renato Donati of Ttaly. The barograph of Post's flight was sent to Washington where official certification is expected o be announced within five days. } Post’s altimeter failed to function above 40,000 feet. Estimates of the | highest altitude reached were based | upon three points; the rate of climb indicator, which showed a steady ascent of 1,000 feet a minute: the elapsed time of this climb: and the ! corroborative evidence of the tachom- eter, or engine revolution speed gauge. New High Speeds Seen. A new realm of high speed appeared opened by Post's latest attempt. He estimated that at the top of his climb he was hurtling through the air at between 350 and 375 miles per hour. Screaming and whining past the | wings of the Winnie Mae raged a» stratospheric wind. the velocity ef which the fiyer estimated at about 200 miles per hour.

ROP MO)’C news SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8§, 1934, Post’s Story of Flight Terrific Speeds for Airplane Travel Is Seen by Flyer at Altitudes of 30,000 Feet and Over. 4 Globe-girdling Wiley Post believes he climbed to a ceiling of mearly 50.000 feet in his renewed attempt o break the altitude record for air- planes, 47,352 feet, held by Licut. Renato Domati of Italy. He tells here how his round-the-world plane behaved in its vertical flight, BY WILEY POST. PHILLIPS AIRPORT, Bartlesville, Okla., December 8 (N.AN.A)—VYes- terday’'s flight of the Winie Mae of Oklahoma, during which I think that commercial type plane rode at an alti- tude of nearly 50,000 feet, was thor- oughly satisfactorv and gave data which I believe will contribute much to the progress of aviation. I say I believe I went to nearly 50,000 feet, but that is a flexible figure based upon several calculations, as my altimeter froze at 35,000 feet. How- ever, long after that the nose stayed up, the manifold pressure dropped off and every instrument showed that I kept climbing to a greater height than I did Monday, when it is believed the altitude record for airplanes was un- officially broken. Only one thing will determine the exact height I reached and that is the barographs, which I probably will send to Washington for an official reading at once. Engine Performed Well. But more interesting to me than breaking the record is the wa: my airplane engine, this new aviation gasoline, my special suit &nd every thing else worked. Just perfect. never had a bit of trouble, in con- trast to Monday, when the oxygen supply fouled, from the time I shook hands in farewell to Frank Phillips sponsor of this flight, until I made a “dead-stick” landing back here. As a matter of record, after fiying | for nearly two hours in the zone beyond where life ends, I felt no dif- ferent physical effects than if I had been cruising around at 20,000 feet With everything working perfectly, I had an opportunity to look around, fool around, you might say, above 40,000 feet. Some mav mnot believe me. but above 40000 feet I found it can scarcely tell one from the other, so unusual their weaves. It is an intriguing picture. You will want to see these new clothes.

That is one reason | why I am not using a specially built ship or a special motor. I said everything went all right. It did, but I should explain why I landed without power. While making my observations I pulled back on the throttle and the 70-degree tempera- ture chilled my engine before 1 real- ized it.

It has gone so far I would not even estimate how many miles have passed under it As a result of this flight I am con- vinced that airplanes can travel at terrific speeds at more than 30000 feet by getting in the prevailing wind channel. Acting on this information a short time T hope to go up and ina$l go ahead and fly and did not have to divert my mind to something else. I turned my supercharger on and screwed the face-piece into my suit at about 20,000 feet. The valve and suit worked perfectly and the pop-off valve kept the pressure in the suit at the right reading all the time. In trying to climb too fast. after then—and I was going up at much more than the usual 1,000 feet a min- ute and running the supercharger per- haps a little too fast, just for safety— I got the motor a little hot and leveled off for the first time at 30,000 feet. Cooling System Worked Fast. The cooling and oil system worked fast end in a few minutes she was back to normal and I resumed the climb. after which I was not similarly | troubled I gave the ship full throttle at 35,- 000 feet, where the altimeter went all haywire, and continued with it open until I pulled back on it, as I have previously related The question has been raised of an inability to fly normally at such alti- tudes because of the lack of horizon. I had a chance to settle that, too. The top of the haze makes as good a horizon as I ever hope to point the nose to. and I saw no evidences of the mythical double or moving hor- izon. Again may I say that the earth locks normal. except for the size of objects, and there is no curvature of the earth evident. Copyright 1934 by North American Newspaper Alliance.
