RACE INTERESTS
PATHFINDER CREW
Williams and Yancey Believe
FrenChmen and Poles Will
Reach Goal.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, July 13-Capt. Lewis A.
Yancey and Roger Q. Williams, Ameri-
can transatlantic flyers, today followed
with intense interest the attempted
transatlantic flights of the French and
Polish aviators. The Americans ex-
pressed the belief that both airp.anes
would make the crossing.
Yancey told the Associated Press cor
respondent this afternoon that trans
atlantic flights from New York to
Europe would be made without much
difficulty in a few years at an altitude
Of 10000 feet.
Predicts Great Speeds.
He said his prediction was based on
observations that he and Williams had
made during their crossing from Old
Orchard, Me, to Santander and Rome
and before they had started. These
observations are being forwarded to the
United States Weather Bureau at
Washington.
Yancey thought that airplanes for
this service would be specially equipped
with cabins capable of maintaining
oxygen for breathing at such an alti-
tude. They would also have variable
propellers capable Of lifting the plane to
such an altitude.
Our observations and those of the
Weather Bureau show that at an ex-
IRENE height of 900 to $4,000 feet
there Is always wind Of great strength
from America to Europe, while at the
surface Of the sea there is little wind,
Yancey said. 7-.. ..
IF an airplane could therefore MAIN
tain this height 1t would require no
more horsepower than the Pathfinder
had and less fuel and would be able to
reach home and far beyond.
There is little doubt that speed OF
several hundred miles an hour could be
reached, an airplane would be prac-
tically blown across the Atlantic.
Flyers Late for Appointments.
ION the other hand, plane going to
America would have to keep as close as
possible to the surface of the ocean,"
Yancey said that when he returned to
America he would confer IN detail with
the Weather Bureau about this develop
ment. He recalled that the Pathfinder
had flown at comparatively great al
titude for transatlantic flyers, from
5000 to $4,000 feet.
Williams took the Pathfinder into the
air this afternoon. Williams after over
hauling the ship took several aviation
officers as passengers for an hours
flight. When he brought the Pathfinder
down, he declared it was in perfect con-
dition for its fight tomorrow over Rome.
The aviators continued to be anus
ingly late in their appointments. Both
flyers were to have attended recep-
ton of the Foreign Press Association at
pm, but Yancey appeared 40 min
utes late and williams 10 minutes after
him. They were then half an hour
late for reception at the Littorio Pal
ace by the Fascist party. at which the
chief members of the italian govern
ment were present.
