HOPE FADES TO
FIND z filters
LOST IN NORTH
No Chance If Down at Sea,
Coast Guard Cutter
Reports.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - But
slight hope for the rescue of Bert
Hassell and Parker Cramer, who
have not been heard from since
Sunday morning when their air
plane, Great Rockford, was believed
over Cape Chidley en- route from
Ontario to Greenland, as held out
today by officials directing the
search.
The coast guard cutter Marion
reported to headquarters Wednesday
night that there was no chance for
the airmen IF on the waters in this
vicinity" The Marion was then
thirty miles east of Resolution
Island, in waters where it was con-
sidered most likely the plane was
forced down.
The cutter reported she was in
a strong southerly gale and planning
to turn her course to the south in
the Labrador current to continue
the search.
Officials said there was q chance
that Hassell and Cramer might
have been forced off their course
over Greenland or Quebec and
might make their way to civilization
in time, but that if they landed on
water there was no hope of rescue
now.
The two airmen set out from
Rockford, ILL.,, to pioneer a new
transatlantic route over Canada
and Greenland to northern Europe.

Not me-" was the almost unani-
nous response.
'You won't get me in an airplane
without six or seven parachutes al

then I want one foot on the ground, -

marks OF other members.

Aviation
Committee TO
SET DATE FOR
AIRPORT BIDS
Estimates Must Be Based
on Requirements From
QUESTIONABLE.

The municipal airport site COM
mittee will meet again at p. m.
Friday to set 6 date for receiving
sealed bids on airport sites to be
submitted on a prescribed question
naire adopted by the committee on
Wednesday.
Tt was decided to publish the site
QUESTIONABLE and requirements for
a field in local newspapers in order
to give every one interested an OPP
portunity to suggest sites.
The equipment and maintenance
committee postponed a meeting
scheduled for today when it was
to have heard a report compiled by
Paul H Moore, chamber aviation
secretary, giving an estimate on
the cost Of operating the airport for
one year.
Moore was to go to ST. Louis today
to confer with airport officials there
on equipment costs. A committee of
st. Louis aviation boosters made ex-
tensive inquiries in Europe before
locating and equipping the st. Louis
airport.
Moore and other members of the
committee have obtained figures on
costs from various other large air
ports.
Sight committee members decided
the field selected must have a min
imum of $50 acres and maximum
of $40 acres, one square mile.
Minimum runways for a triple A
field under Department of Com
merce regulations must be 5000 feet
in each direction, Moore explained.
The site should be as near the city
as possible, committee members
agreed. in order to permit easy &C
cess to it. Also it must have light,
power, water and sewer extensions,
level topography and drainage.
Clifford L. Harrod, Chamber in
dustrial commissioner, and secretary
of the committee, explained the
field may be perfectly square, round,
L-shaped, or T-shaped.
1t was pointed out the airport,
in a few years should be self-sus-
tanning.
An item for maintenance of the
airport next year will be included
in the general fund of the municipal
budget for 1929, William H Book,
civic affairs director, announced.

Plane Hops From Ship

SHERBOUG, Aug. 23.-The ship
to-shore plane carrying mail from
the liner lie De France landed here
at 1870 a. m. and will continue to
Paris this afternoon.
The postal plane was catapult-
ed from the deck of the lie De
France. at a. m. today, from a
position $50 miles west of Cape
Lizard.
Recently the same plane was
catapulted from the lie De France.
at point about $50 miles out of
New York harbor. The time say
ing was estimated at about eighteen
hours and the test was so success
full that French line officials indi-
Gated the plane would become a
permanent part of the company's
service.

Tours City From Air

The conventional way Of showing
visitors the city by an automobile
trip to few points of interest was
dispensed with in favor of an air.
plane tour Of the city Wednesday
by Sob Shank, Hoosier Airport
president.
Mrs. Alan Hvistendahl, of Mer-
cedes, Texas, who is visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Shank, was taken to the
airport Wednesday afternoon and
given a ride over the city.
Il think I saw more Of Indian
apolis in that half hour ride than
most residents of the city see in a
life time" Mrs. Hvistendahl told
Shank on their return.
Although it was her first airplane
ride, she enjoyed the trip thor
oughly, she said.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-23

on the surface and force it back to
normal position. In case this sur
face is held out Of the line of
flight the plane is forced to change
its course.
The ailerons control the rolling
or lateral position of the craft. In
land traffic we are banking roads
that automobiles may make turns
without lessening speed. The con-
trolls Of the airplane make it posi-
bic to bank on the air highways
without skidding.
Fly Almost Alone
Sail boats have a keel surface
which keeps them upright and TO
the course. The rudder-which is
vertical-is the movable part of the
planes keel surface and serves the
same purpose.
When wind strikes the plane from
either side this keel surface causes
the craft to turn into the wind, act
ing in the same capacity as the old
fashioned weather cock.
The elevator causes the airplane
to nose up or down in the same
manner that the rudder turns the
machine from right to left. The
rudder and elevator exchange duties
when the craft is flying on its side,
as in a steep banked turn.
The plane of today is as fool
proof as any other similar piece Of
machinery. If its various parts arc
in condition it will fly practically
alone once in the air, but an &C
credited pilot must be familiar with
the parts of his plane in addition
to knowing the different functions
of the parts.
