Before taking of, Capt. Hawks an

made instead. in an effort to make up
time lost here yesterday.
Only brief stop. he said would
be made at Ell Paso, for lunch and re-
fueling of the tow plane. 1t is planned
to spend tonight at Sweetwater, Tex.
Pilots of escort planes, who accom-
panied Hawks and his party for Is
miles out of Tuscon, reported the glider
and its tow plane were functioning per-
fectlv.

its first rebuff Capt. Hawks, plotting
the glider, circled the local airport a
few minutes after Jernigin's plane had
towed him to a take-off for Lordsburg
N NJ, en- route to Ell Paso, Tex, the
scheduled second night stop.
"Just little glider exhibition" Capt.
Hawks told the surprised crowd upon
settling the craft to a graceful landing
A frayed end of the tow cable still fas-
tened to the glider, however. belied the
levity of its pilots explanation.
Efforts to splice the rubber and steel
cable met with difficulties. and the task
was not completed in time for sec
ond take-of in daylight. The first leg.
from san Diego to here, was traversed
Sunday without nishap.
A new tow cable was ordered sent TO
Fl Paso from Los Angeles.
The unexpected delay has not damp
ened the hopes of Capt. Hawks OF
reaching New York City by Sunday.
They said they believed they could
make up the lost time en- route.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TUCSON, Ariz., April (NA.N.A).-
or Man Weather got a bit too rough
for us here yesterday,
A sound sleep at the hotel and an
18akarat breakfast at my old friend Dick
Burke's home had us all feeling pretty
fit when we reached Mayse Field short
" after daybreak. Our success on the
difficult Sen Diego-Tucson leg of the
air-train's transccntinental flight added
optimism to the outlook.
The wind was acting up, we found.
Nevertheless, Wauy Franklin hooked up
the tow cable to the elders nose and
of we started FL Pasoward with little
to do. It was quickly discovered, how
ever, that all was not well with the tele
phone line entWined on the tow cable,
for Duke Jernigin could not hear me
nor him.
We were climbing nicely, though a
little bumpily, and were about 10 miles
from the field just beyond the city when
Jernigin decided to turn back to re-
easily around at $500 feet stiff up

wing.

the left and a moment later the glider,
despite my efforts, executed the same
involuntary evolution. AS the craft
slipped of downward, the tow line
Stacked and when it was snapped taut
again. as the ships righted themselves.
it parted just back OF the reel in the
tow ship.
OF course I had to drop the weight
of the cable off the elders nose onto
an arid waste of desert.
Although was 10 miles from the field,
the glider's 22-to-1 gliding ratio made 1t
easy to get back and land.
So here we sat all day, rigging new
tow line. Search for the dropped cable
in that colorless area proved futile and

we turned our efforts toward preparing
a new one with the necessary telephone
wire. In the meantime, we hoped that
the wind would die down.
When the cable was ready, took a
hep in the tow plane to examine the air
currents aloft at first hand They were
still little too strong and f1tful.
We plan to go right through today to

BUG EXPERT BUILDS
HUGE TELESCOPE
DR.. C. w. Woodwork Is
Erecting Giant InStru-
ment Unaided.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Calf, April 1.-THE
worlds largest telescope is being built
single-handed by University of Cali
fornia educator whose speciality is
entomology.
DR.. G. w. Woodwork is using 400
pieces of glass, which he is grinding
to fit into one large mirror, in an
attempt to prove that such compo-
site reflector will be as. effective as
single-piece lenses.
When completed DR.. Woodworth's
telescope will be larger than the 100
inch mirror at Mount Wilson, now the
worlds largest. 1t is to be square, 10
feet on side.
DR.. Woodwork believes his telescope
will answer scientists arguments that a
reflector of separate pieces of glass is
not feasible. His square models, he says,
have compared favorably in tests with
single-piece lenses, either mirror or
refracting
Expansion and contraction of the
mirror surface have been considered the
greatest obstacles to building larger
telescopes and DR.. Woodwork thinks
he has solved this problem.
ut is commended" he says, that
temperature changes may expand and
contract the framework on which the
many mirrors are laid to such an extent
as to disturb the adjustment of separate
lenses I believe I have obviated this
possibility by making the lens supports
so they, like compensated pendu-
lum, will compensate all temperature
changes"
Dr. Woodworth's back yard is the
scene of his experiment. Now he is
building a model to be mounted for
preliminary experimental observations
on the roof of his workshop. He started
the project two years ago.

ELEANOR BOILING
TOWS BARK TO PORT
Byrd Hopes to Set Sail From
Panama for New York on
Tuesday.

BY the Associated Press.
PANAMA, May 31.-The steamship
Eleanor Boiling of Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrds Antarctic expedition
towed the bark City of New York into
port at Balboa tonight, completing a
Journey that began at the Antarctic
ice packs. The bark left Dunedin, New
Zealand, on March %.
The Eleanor Boiling had already
made port, but last week was obliged
to sail hundreds of miles out into the
Pacific to take the becalmed bark in
tow again.
Both ships will go through the Pan
anna Canal tomorrow and be overhauled
in Cristobal Harbor. Early Tuesday
morning, with Admiral Byrd and all
hands on board, they will sail for New
York. marking the final return Of the
expedition to civilization.
The City of New York sailed into the
waters of the Canal Zone with a de-
cided list to port, being emptied of her
coal supply and having lost her stores
in a terrific hurricane encountered be-
fore reaching Tahiti. Even the bull
warks of the supply ship had been
washed away.

planes lowered anxiously around.
Comdr. Nicholson seemed to just barely
slide along against the bottom of the
dirigible as the spectators turned sea
of faces to the sky. Actually he was
feeling his way carefully toward the
trapeze, guarding against a vagrant pun
of wind which might carry him up into
the big bag over his head. Just at tl4e
crucial moment his plane struck a
down-current and missed the trapeze.
After two or three more attempts
which failed in the same way, during
which the Los Angeles passed over the
station and returned, Comdr. Nicholson
struck the trapeze with the hook on his
top wing, lurched in the air and then,
with engine throttled down, rode sus-
pended from the dirigible.

The demonstration was a part Of the
Nays training program in preparation
for the launching of two giant dirigibles
now under contract, each Of which will
carry a half-dozen fighting planes

cut loose and landed again at Anacostia,
while the Los Angeles headed back to
Lakehurst, to be berthed last night
alongside the Graf Zeppelin.
The departure of the Los Angeles
brought to close the pre-race events.
Following the races a number OF para
chute jumps which had been scheduled
were cancelled because OF the high
winds, which 1t was feared would drag
the jumpers as they landed. The flight
of Lieut.. Gardner brought the show to
conclusion.
One of the Capitals worst automobile
jams followed the races as several thou
sand cars blocked the narrow roads
leading back to the city from the field.
The last OF the cars were not cleared

were required TO reach downtown Wash
