BALLOON RACE PILOTS FACE BAD WEATHER Giant Bags Will Take to Air in National Event Late Saturday. AVIATION ACES ATTEND | Amelia Earhart Scheduled to Aid in Christening Baby Blimp. BY FRANCIS FITZSIMMONS. United Press Staff Correspondent PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 3.—Arrangements completed for the national elimination balloon races te be held at the University of Pitttsburgh stadium Saturday afternoon, weather conditions today became the principal item of interest to balloonists. Exhibitions which began yesterday in conjunction with the balloon races drew a fair-sized crowd to the stadium, despite inclement weather. But rain continued today and threatened to interfere with events of the program, some of which were postponed from yesterday. Three Goodyear Company “baby blimps." scheduled to arrive here yesterday from Akron, are expected •ome time today, officials at the stadium said. Amelia Earhart, trans-Atlantic flier, is expected to pilot one of the blimps. Later she may take part in the christenening ceremony of the newest “baby blimp” of the Goodvear Company, The Volunteer. The other two blimps are known as The Pilgrim and The Puritan. ■ Watch Weather Carefully Remembering the disasters which befell the ballonists who raced from Bettis Field, McKeesport, last year, when they were overtaken by a rain and electrical storm, weather officials made special arrangements for last minute information for the balloonists before they start at 5 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. W. S. Brotzman, Pittsburgh weather forecaster, lias predicted continued cloudy skies and cooler weather for this afternoon and Saturday. E. G. Andrus, special weather forecaster at Hadley field, N. J., came to Pittsburgh to cooperate with Brotzman in furnishing weather reports to the balloonists. Many of the balloonists will carry radio receiving outfits, and for the first twenty-four hours of the race will receive broadcasts from James H. Kimball of the New Y’ork City weather bureau, through the National Broadcasting system. Carry Safety Devices When Ward T. Van Orman, pilot, and Alan L. MacCracken, aid, take to the air tomorrow, in the Goodyear VII balloon, they’ll have no fear of lightning. A simple device has been developed by Goodyear experts, after months of research with high voltage electricity, which will protect the balloonists. They suffered in last year’s race. The device consists of two metal rods extended one foot beyond the balloon basket. The rods, fixed at the “load ring” are connected at the tips by copper wire. Four wires, extending a foot below the basket, are fixed to each side of the square formed. The wires allow the current to pass off the wire gradually. Complete protection is provided by the device, Van Orman said. The race Saturday will be the first in which precautionary measures have been used, he said. Many other pilots, informed of the device by the Goodyear man, will protect their lives in similar manner. Aviation Exhibit Opened The exhibits at the stadium, opened yesterday, included airplane motors, propellers and parts and other things concerned with aviation. Today’s program will include the features of the aero exhibit, plane stunting and parachute jumping. The placing and filling of the balloons with hydrogen will start the program Saturday. Most of he afttemoon will be required to prepare the bags for the flight. W. A. Klikoff, pilot, and Thornwald Larsen, aid, flving a Detroit Balloon Club bag, will start the race at 5 o’clock eastern daylight saving time. The other eleven entrants will follow at five-minute intervals.
