FALLS SIX MILES AND LIVES
Chicago Aviator Saves Himself From
Almost Certain Death.

Dayton, o., Feb. 2S.--Whirling over
and over like lecf in a gale; plunS-
Ing TO earth with the velocity OF
rifle bullet; a flare of burning oxy-
gen streaming behind him from ms
broken tank; with thousands on the
ground watching what they believed
was n flaming meteor, and with MS
eyeballs frozen beneath his rigld
eyelids, Mai. Rudolph w. Schroeder,
of Chica go Yesterday afternoon drop
ned from an official altitude record
of 5000 feet, distance of more
than six miles, saving his life when
within 1000 feet of the earth only by
semi consciously grasping his con-
troll sticks and guiding his airplane
into a long, gliding sweep which
landed him safely on the ground.
Major Schroeder is in the post
hospital with army surgeons work
ing over him in an effort to save his
eyesight.
The officer is test pilot at the
aviation grounds. He announced that
he was going out to break Roland
Rohlrs height record of 81, 900 feet
and his previous great flights served
to draw out a crowd for the trial.
The machine was lie Perre, equip
ped with a Moss supercharger.
Schroeder left the ground and in
short time disappeared straight into
the air, beyond the reach of even the
officers glasses.
What transpired between the time
the majors barograph reading show
ed him he had passed the $1,000 foot
record and the moment he reached
the appalling height Of $1,000 feet has
not yet been disclosed. The instru-
ment showed that the aviator had
actually attained that record, but the
official mark is placed at 36,020 feet.
Suddenly a great shout was uttered
by the throng. Falling out of the
cloudless blue was a tiny speck en-
veloped in a blush blaze. Somewhere
in that terrific cold-registered by
the machines thermometers as SIS
below, centigrade, and 67 below Feb
renheit-the gas tank had exploded
and the aviator. numbed and blinded
and In a helpless stupor, had lost
control of his burning plane.
While the crowds watched the
"meteorite" and wondered where
Schroeder was, the major partially
regained consciousness and managed
to right his plane so that he could
automatically volplane to earth.
Hangar attendants raced ahead OF
the crowd to the machine and extri-
Gated the flyer. He was hurried to
the hospital.
The surgeons announced later ~to
the waiting crowds that Maj. Schroe-
der would recover and that his vision
probably would not be lost.
The mark set by Major Schroeder
again gives him the record which
Roland RohIfs won from him July 80
1919, with an official altitude record
Of 10000 feet, snd later increased in
flight to $1,000 feet. It also breaks
the record of Adjutant Scalea, q
French pilot, who was credited with
an unofficial record OF ss,137 feet.

But the real fight against it will be
in the realm OF politics. The repub-

that the question of government ow-

plan. 1t is equally the right and duty
Of the rest of the. people OF the
country to advocate no less vigorous
ly what, In their opinion. will be for
the best interests Of the country. now
and hereafter
One quite general estimate by rail-
way experts Of the condition in which
the roads find themselves on the eve
of their return to private hands is
that during the last three or four
years the roads have fallen one full
year behind their normal program.
Traffic demands have grown tre-
mendously. Since 1917 they have
jumped 2 per cent year. The bu-
reau OF railway economics estimates
/ that thes 1929 traffic demands win be
at least 7one- third greater than in
1916.
Big Investment Increase Needed.
This means railway investment will
need increasing to the point where, It
will be about $4,000. 10000 above the
1915 mark. Since that year, some
thing like $500, 900 900. according to
the estimates, has been invested, so
that right now the roads are about a
billion dollars behind the normal pro-
gram. In addition, to keep pace with
the growth of traffic. they require
some $500. 0.000,0 900 at the lowest.
The operating revenues Of the roads
mark for the first time in history. But
operating expenses went at faster
gait.
Two Thirds Of tho Roads "Losers."
Nearly two-thirds Of the railroads
in 1919 were unable to meet their
fxed charges out Of their earnings to
say nothing Of paying dividends. One
table shows that for the first eleven
months OF 1919 the operating income
for the 165 principal roads. that is
the excess Of receirts over e&penses
was s4as SIT 1000. The standard re-
turn which the government guaranty,
based on earnings for the three years,
1s14-1s was 1913 100 900, leaving a
net deficit Of 1921 le3. 900. OF the 1sE
roads only thirty four earned their
standard return, while 131 contribut-
ed to the deficit. But some Of the
rail experts maintain that the slump
in railroad credit has not been due 10
falling earnings. but on the contrary
has been caused most largely by un-
certainty as to the policy Of the gov
ernment, an uncertainty which Is re-
moved by the. "fsir feturn" principle
OF the railroad bill.
