GLIDES ACROSS LAKE, 30 MILES IN 56 MINUTES

Conqueror of Michigan Predicts Ocean Hops in 30 Years.

FRANKFORT, Mich. June 13 (U. P.) —Ted Bellak, 27, who set a new world record last night for the longest flight ever made over water in a soaring plane, predicted today that gliders will be sailing over the Atlantic within 30 years. Mr. Bellak, who cannot swim, gambled his life and a $1500 Ger-man-built glider yesterday in a flight across Lake Michigan from Sturgeon Bay, Wis, to Frankfort. The direct route is 54 miles and his flying time from shore to shore was 56 minutes. However, he covered more than 90 miles because he was blown 30 miles south of his course to Manistee where he reached the Michigan shore.

The flight marked the first time a motorless plane had been flown across the lake. The previous record for a glider flight over water was 31 miles, made last April bv a British pilot who crossed the English Channel.

Goes Up 13,000 Feet

“Glider flights across the United States will be possible within 10 vears,” Mr. Bellak said “and flights across the Atlantic are likely within 20 or 30 years. However, we'll have to know more about air conditions than we do now.” He is an instructor at a moctorless flving schoel here. He was in the air 2 hours 39 minutes during his light. He was towed off the ground at 3:44 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) from the Door County airport by an airplane piloted by Cass Szmadaj of Detroit. The plane circled over the Wisconsin shore for 1 hour 21 minutes. When an altitude of 13.000 feet had been reached, Mr. Bellak threw off the towline.

Averages 70 M. P. H.

He wore a kapok life preserver and guided the ship from an inclosed cockpit. He carried a tank of oxygen, a half pint of water, chewing gum and a wad of cotton which he stuffed into his ears to counteract the pressure. He said he averaged nearly 70 miles per hour over the water due to strong tail winds. Visibility was good and he sighted the outline of the Michigan shore a few minutes after he had thrown off the towline. “It was pretty cold—below zero,” he said. “But it was an easy flight. Th eair currents were just right.” He said his sinking speed was less than a foot and a half a second. At Manistee he still had 8000 feet of altitude, he said.

This, of course, results in a great economy for the library.” Persons desiring to donate old directories are asked to phone the branch and a messenger will call for the books.
