VAN ORMAN CURBS
LIGHTNING DANGER
Protective Shield Is Designed by
Balloonist to Avert Flight
Menace.

By the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, April 20.-Elimlna-
ton of lightning as danger to PAL
loonists has been partly accomplished
by use Of a protective shield, ACCORDING
to Ward T. Van Orman, the designer,
and he will use one of the devices in
the 1929 national balloon races 10 pe
held May at Pittsburgh.
Van Orman, who won the national
balloon races in 1924, 1925, 1926 ana
1927 and the international race at
Antwerp in 1926, also is experimenting
with a device to protect the balloon
itself from lightning. In 1928 van
Orman's balloon in the national race at
Pittsburgh was struck by lightning. his
aide. Walter w. Morton, was killed ana
van Orman was injured. Lieut.. Paul
Everett, an Army entry, also was Kllieo
similarly in the same contest.
The shield invented by Van Orman
consists of cross-arms extending oiag..
onally across the metal load ring OF
the balloon above the basket. From
the corners of the cross-arms IL heavy
copper wires hang downward about
foot outside the edge OF the basKet.
They extend downward about 9 feet.
Tests of the device have been made IN
the laboratories of the Ohio Insulator
Works, Barberton, where single impact
discharges of 100000 volts, jumping
81 feet, we're loosed against the balloon.
instruments placed in the basket showed
that the shock did not penetrate be-
yond the screen.

OF SETTLING STRIKE

Leaders Involving 5000 in
Tennessee Plants.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, April 90
Although company officials maintained
silence, Charles G. Wood, Federal labor
conciliator, carried on today with his
plans to bring about a settlement of the
strike of 5000 employees of the American
Bemberg & GlantzStof rayon plants.
Conferences with Thomas F. McNa-
non, president of the United Textile
Workers of America, and other labor
leaders, including Paul Aymon, presi-
dent of the Tennessee Federation of
Labor, contributed to his hopes for an
early settlement.
Intervention by Wood led to the set
tlement of a strike in the same plants
last month, when employers and work.
ers agreed to increase wages and handle
further disputes by arbitration. Labor
leaders contend that the company failed
to arbitrate recent disputes over dis
missals although the company denied
the workers had tried to arbitrate.
