HONGK0NC FLIGHT
MAY GET SANCTION
Change of Rules for Hop
From Dallas May Win O. K.
of Air Body.

By the Associated Press.
Possibility of the National Aero.
nautic Association sanctioning the
Dallas.Hongkong flight competition
for the $4,000 Easterwood prize
seemed more possible today when 1t
was learned that redrafting of
regulations governing the flight was
under consideration by it's sponsors.
The Federation Aeronautigue Inter
rationale, governing body Of organ
lied aviation, has forbidden its men,
berS from taking part in the flight
unless it is sanctioned by the Ameri-
can body.
This action will bar the Aero Club
Of China from participation in the
flight plan to any great extent. How
ever, if the rules governing the COM
petition are revised, officials of the
National Aeronuatic Association will
consider approval of the flight. The
principal change would be a provision
for deposit of the $4,000 in bank in
advance Of the flight, subject to with
drawal on certification Of the Ameri-
can body that the flight had been
made successfully.
The ban placed on participation in
the flight by member pilots of the
Aeronautic Association affects ap-
proximately 1000 American aviators
flying land planes and 1000 pilots
Of seaplanes. Foreign flyers belong
ing to aero clubs which are members
Of the international Aeronautic Fed
Grafton also will not be able to COM
pete unless the rules governing the
competition are changed.
Complications arising from a lack
Of sanction by the National Aeronautic
Association would eliminate many Of
the leading flyers Of the world from
the competition.
