said existing freight rates had caused
farmers TO turn from railroads to

had reduced the volume of agricul-

ALTITUDE RECORD
CLAIMED BY POST
Flyer Holds Second Attempt
Carried Him $4,000 Feet
Into Stratosphere.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BARTELSVILLE, Okla, December
8.-Wiley Post, stocky globe-girdling
flyer, believed today he had added the
worlds altitude record for heavier
than-air craft to his flying laurels
with several thousand feet Of space to
spare.
He made his second hop into the
stratosphere here yesterday and upon
landing expressed the belief he had
reached an altitude of at least $4,000
feet in his remodeled Winnie Mae, the
ship in which he twice new around
the world.
Italian Holds Record.
The present world record, 47,3522
feet, is held by Lieut.. Renato Donati
of Italy. The Paragraph of Post S
fight was sent to Washington where
official certification is expected TO be
announced within five days.
Posts altimeter failed to function
above 10000 feet. Estimates of the
highest altitude reached were based
upon three points; the rate Of climb
indicator. which showed steady
ascent of 1000 feet a minute; the
elapsed time of this climb: and the
corroborative evidence of the tachom-
eter, or engine revolution speed gauge.
New High Speeds Seen.
A new realm of high speed appeared
opened by Posts latest attempt. He
estimated that at the top Of his
climb he was hurtling through the air
at between $50 and 375 miles per
hour.
Screaming and whining past the
wings Of the Winnie Mae ragged a
Stratospheric wind. the velocity of
which the flyer estimated at about

terday's flight of the Winnie Mae of
Oklahoma, during which think that
commercial type plane rode at an alti-
tude of nearly $4,000 feet, was thor
oughly satisfactory and gave data
which I believe will contribute much
to the progress of aviation.
I say I believe I went to nearly
$4,000 feet, but that Is flexible figure

altimeter froze at $4,000 feet. How
