Armed with the experience gleaned from two flights into the stratosphere, some 10 miles above the surface of the earth, Post intends to study addi- tional improvements for his record- breaking ship, the Winnie Mae of Oklahoma. ‘While pleased with his ship’s per- formance on yesterday's climb, tenta- tively estimated to have reucmd 50,000 feet or higher, Post apparently was more interested in the new vista of rapid travel which he glimpsed in his top speed, estimated at 350 to 375 miles an hour in a 200-mile-an-hour strato- spheric gale. The Winnie Mae's cruis- ing speed at lower levels is approxi- mately 160 miles an hour. Spain plans to trade its copper to Russia for Russian oil.
