New York, July 30 (UP)-W. o. Saunders, apostle of cool dress for men. went back to his home town of Elizabeth City. N. C.. today with his mission in New York accomplish ed-he had worn his pajamas on stroll down smart Fifth avenue; he had shown Broadway how to be comfortable, or less uncomfortable, when thermometers over the sizzling sidewalks were near the 100 degree mark
 New York wasn't shocked; it was amused. It didn't jeer the new style or its champion, it was for the most part merely curious. Some voiced hearty approval of the natty paja- mas when they learned that Saun- ders was in earnest. that is wasn't an advertising stunt or part of a motion picture.
 Dress is Commended
 That's the way to dress" one man commended. And a girl observed that the pongee outfit was pretty smart" adding that it was about time men learned to be comforta- ble"
 After he had gone back to his hotel last night to pack, Saunders summed up the results of his sally by saying he had shown that mo man needs to be afraid to wear pa jamas on the street in New York" He thought it was the photographers with him that attracted the crowds, rather than his attire.
 "A man wearing a salt and pepper suit and a red necktie would have at- tracted more attention on Fifth ave nue than I did if I had been alone" he said.
 But whether it was because of the. camera men or the paiamas, Saun- derS was the center of an ogling throng all the way from his hotel to Times Squar, half dozen blocks away. There he tucked into a thea ter to shake the crowds, stayed an hour and then took an elevated train downtown. On the train, he said, scarcely a person noticed him.
 Move Will Take Time
 He has no illusions that his idea of summer dress will have q sudden vogue. He thinks the only thing to do now is to let the notion "percolate a while"
 There will be no rapid change in mems styles" he said. Men are ter ribly conservative. But gradually

New York, July 30.-The man who made possible seven successful transatlantic airplane flights is op- posed to ocean flying.
 This seemingly paradoXiCal fig ure is Dr. James H. Kimball, gov ernment meteorologist. He is the man who gives the final word to those west-to-east fliers who match their daring against the hazards of the Atlantic.
 And Dr. Kimban hasn't lost a flier yet. Not one aviator who played the game" and followed the doctors meteorological guid- ance has been forced down in the ocean by storms
 When Dr. kimball said "go", a little known young man named Charles A. Lindbergh gave his ship the gun at Roosevelt Fielf, Long Island, shot out over the ocean, landed safely at I.e Bourgrt Field. near Paris, and became q world hero over night

 "Yancey and Williams are friends of mine," pr. kimball said. But the part I play in these flights is not a personal one. Every mem- Der of the weather bureau helps obtain the necessary information 70 guide the fliers."
 The meteorologist doesn't believe in ocean flights. We've tried to dis courage every one of them," he said. transatlantic flying isn't safe at present. But when fliers are deter mined to have try at it, the only thing we can do is give them every bit of assistance possible Prepares Weather Maps Weather maps for ocean flying, showing the high and low pres sure areas and the temperatures. are prepared by Dr. Kimball from reports by steamships along the | proposed air routes.
 Weather reports are received daily from ships scattered through out the ocean. When the first At lantiC flights were being made In 1927, a special service by selected ships was set up and radio reports were received without toll by a ra- rio corporation for the benefit of the flyers. This service was later discontinued.
 Due to the enormous areas to be covered our present service is not adequate to provide weather information for regular trans-At- lantiC air lines" Dr. kimball said,

General storm Beneficial

Contrary to popular opinion, d general storm at sea is an advan- tage rather than a hazard to ocean flying. Storms in the north Allan tic move from west to east, caus- ing westerly winds. Ocean planes flying south by the storm area are benefited b ythese winds.
 Transatlantic commercial air lines are inevitable, Dr. kimball believes, but sturdier planes, pow cred by many motors and capable of landing in the ocean and re- maining there for a reasonable length of time, must be designed before such a service becomes d reality.
 Most failures to ocean flights have been due to overloaded planes which could not gain sufficient alti- tude to remain in the air, Dr. Kim ball declared.
 He Has Clear Record
 Not one fthe fliers We had anything to do with was forced down by general storms at sea" he said. The one west-to-eas, ar tragedy, the failure of Old Glory, was due to an overloaded plane. It was sighted several hundred miles at Sea and had been able only to gain an altitude of 3e0 feet"
 There never will be a single, def mite air route across the Atlantic, in his opinion. Ocean planes may fly in one general direction, he said, but not on a set course like steamships. Pilots will be able to fly in one direction for a while, then in another, taking advantage of winds and lodging the storm areas, their flights radio-g guided by men like Dr. kimball.

they will come around to my views. The beauty of pajamas is that most men are already accustomed to wearing them. Other dress reform failed because they tried to intro- duce something entirely new - shorts, for instance. But paiamas need only to be tailored a little bet ter and fixed with couple of pockets in the pants and they are entirely suitable for street wear.
 'The idea of wearing pajamas on the street sounds outrageous only to men who still wear night shirts" he continued. Naturally those who don't wear pajamas at night can't be expected to accept them for day wear" A
 The "pajama man'-he is really publisher of newspaper in Eliza beth City-is confident that many men will gradually adopt the com fortable garb. loafing around home in pajamas as he did at first, then venturing forth to the corner drug store, and finally wear them on the street even during the day.
