ARMY PAIR SET FOR TRIP INTO STRATOSPHERE U. S. Balloonists Will Be Sixteenth to Try Hop; Five Killed. (Copvr ght. 1934. br Science Service) RAPID CITY. S. D„ July 2 When Captain A. W. Stevens and Major W. E. Kepner take off in the eiant stratosphere balloon ol ne joint NaMonal Geographic So- | < lety and the U. S. army air corps from Moonlight valley from here, they will be the fifteenth and sixteenth persons to leave the ground *o go up into the top of the sea of air a r whose bottom mankind lives. Stratosphere ascensions really are something n<*w under the sun. It was only a little over three years ago, in May, 1931, that Professor Auguste Piccard and his companion. Charles Kipfer, made the first of •he high-altitude flights which have : brought science into the new field of stratosphere research. Despite the fact that stratosphere ascensions have been linked with governmental agencies and scient ’s from their inception and every effort made to foresee possible danger, the penis and risks of venturing ten. twelve or fifteen miles in'o the upper atmosphere hardly makes the trip a joyride. Beginning with Professor Piccard and Mr. Ktpfer and ending with the takr-off of the forthcoming flight, fourteen persons have gone into the stratosphere. All have, come bark, but only nine have come back alive. L\ S. Pioneer Killed Prior to Professor Piccards 1931 flight with its record of 52.000 feet, the altitude mark for free balloons was 35,424 feet. Captain Hawthorne Gray of the United States made two attempts in 1927 to break it. His first record of 42,470 feet was declared unofficial because he descended by parachute. On his second trial he was killed. These i flights were made in an open balloon. not a closed gondola. While Professor Piccard and Mr. Kipfer reached 52.000 feet in 1931, and Professor Piccard repeated the flight in 1932 wuth Max Cosyns as aid. and gained an altitude of 54.106 feet. Then came 1933—the stratosphere year. In April. Commander T. G. W. Settle. U. S. N., received permission to begin construction of a balloon bag containing 600.000 cubic feet, volume—loo.ooo cubic feet greater than the capacity of Piccard's bag. At the same time Russian hal- , loonists entered the stratosphere j picture, to give the flights an in- i ternational aspect, with plans to build a huee bag containing a volume of 800,000 cubic feet. Fair Hop Is Failure On Aug. 5, 1933, to the accom- j paniment of a World's fair celebra- : ;uon which lasted almost all night,. Commander Settle took off solo but 1 anded a few minutes later in the railroad yards of Chicago. The first "flop - ’ had come into stratosphere flying. Speeding construction and spurred by the preparations of Commander ■ Settle, the Russian balloon was ready on Sept. 25, 1933. This bag. the U. S. S. R.. failed to get off the ground that day, but on Sept. 30 reached an altitude of 62.324 feet. Although a record for altitude, the flight was unrecognized because Russia was not a member of the international aeronautical body : sanctioning such flights. Then in October, news leaked out that Russia was planning still a iarger balloon, the Sirius, with a volump of a million cubic feet. Be- ! fore this new Soviet bag was complete. however. Commander Settle, accompanied by Major Charles L. Forriney. U. S. M. C . took off Nov. 20 and came down the next day in a New Jersey bog after reaching 61.243 sept for an official record. Five Die in 1934 Crashes Up to 1934 thp “box score” for stratosphere flights stood at four successes and two failures. Success came twice to Professor Piccard. once to the Russian balloon U. S. S. R. and once to Commander Settle and Major Fordney. The year 1934. however, saw the turning of stratosphere luck from good to bad. The Russian balloon Sirius was ready on Feb. 1 and sailed away over fog-enshrouded Moscow. It came back with a record of 67.508 feet but in pieces and without its three occupants. The first fatalities had come to stratosphere ballooning. Then, early in May. 1934, the German balloon Bartsch Von Sigsfeld, engaged in the prosaic task of taking air samples near the bottom of the stratosphere at 32.800 feet, crashed with fatal results to its aerial occupant. When Captain Kepner and Major Stevens rise from Moonlight valley shortly, they will know the past record of stratosphere flights and the risks they take. Safety devices, including the giant parachute capable of gently lowering the entire gondola, wil be only one safeguard of many which their balloon will have. Their 3.000.000 cubic feet bag half as big as the S. S. Macon) is largp enough for them to carry adequate ballast and small but vital niceties of balloon navigation which prior flights have not been able to take aloft. Three times as large as any free balloon ever built, their thirty-story bag will have a good chance to achieve anew altitude record and aid science in the process. •INDIAN VILLAGE’ GETS HEAP BAD WAMPUM Employe Receives Five Phony Half Dollars in Half Hour. Money as useless as “wampum" was passed at the Indian Village restaurant. 1654 Roosevelt avenue Saturday night, Man - Gordon. 1520 Sturm avenue, waitress at the restaurant, which is operated by Don Demaree, 1520 Roosevelt avenue, reported to police that she had received five counterfit half dollars in a half hour.

YOUTH DIES IN 35-FOOT DIVE FROM BRIDGE City Swimmer Leaps Into Four Feet of Water, Hurt Fatally. William Cummings, 18. of 707 North Sheffield avenue, died early today in city hospital of injuries received when he dived into Eagle creek from the thirty-five-foot Vandalia railroad bridge yesterday. He struck his head on the bottom in four feet of water. Young Cummings was an expert swimmer and diver, according to his sister, Mrs. Violet Bullock. 707 North Sheffield avenue. He had been diving from the bridge for four days prior to the accident, she said, and seemed proud of his accomplishment. Yesterday afternoon, with Miss Pauline Giltner, 18, of 204 South Harris street, the youth again went to the Vandalia trestle. Three times he dived successfully into the shallow w’ater. “This is going to be my last dive. Then we'll go home,” he told Miss Giltner as he poised for the fourth drop from the bridge. Paralyzed from the shoulders to the feet, he was taken from the water and rushed to city hospital by Harold Barker. 1629 West Market street, and two other unidentified youths. The body w’as taken to Shirley brothers’ funeral parlor. Arrangements for burial have not been made yet. The youth was born in Boone county but had lived most of his life in the city. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Eva Swails; his stepfather, Ernest Swails; four brothers, Elmer, Clavis, James and Clenert; two sisters, Katherine and Mrs. Bullock; three stepbrothers, Forrest, Earl and William Swails; step-

WARNING SIGNS ANNOUNCED FOR UNSAFE POOLS, I Red Cross Will Placard Unguarded Swimming Places Here. Unguarded swimming places will 1 ; bo placarded with danger signs by : the Indianapolis chapter of the ; American Red Cross in the hope of lowering the annual death toll from drowning in Indianapolis and vicinity. Eight persons have died thus far this summer in Marion county, and it is feared that the intensely hot weather, which has led to increased swimming, may cause the approxj imate annual toll of a score to rise. In connection with the drive to lower the drowning toll, the Red ! Cross will sponsor a series of free i classes in life-saving at Indianapolis pools during the remainder of the summer. The classes will be in charge of James W. Clark, director , ;of life-saving and swimming for the | Red Cross. Aiding the Red Crass drive fl i against unguarded swimming places, J I Chief Mike Morrissey has ordered 5 ! police to make a survey of “dan- ! gerous holes.” Places designed by police as “dan-* i gerous.” and at which the Red | Crass will place warning signs, are: j Fall creek at aqueduct, Monnn ! bridge and at White river; Eagle creek at Vandalia bridge, Mtnne- | sota street. Morris street, PennsvlI vania railroad and at West Wash--1 ington; White river at Monon ! bridge, north of municipal gardens, j Emerichsville bridge. Beauty ave- ; nue. Kingan bridge.
