BACKER Of POST
HALLS DISCOVERIES.
Claims Stratosphere Flights
Were Successful, Even
in Failure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BARTLESVILLE, Okla, April 90
Wiley Post. stocky world-girdler, Is
success even in failure, his backer said
today.
Though thrice unsuccessful in at
tempts to span the continent in the
substratosphere. Posts six months OF
efforts TO exri.-e far above the earth
have brought important contributions
to aerial science
Frank Phillips, the Bartlesville oil
man who sponsored Posts attempts,
said few of Posts discoveries are:
How to live for extended periods on
pure liquid oxygen, how to insure cor
rect ignition in higher attitudes and
how to keep a radio from going "hay-
wire" in the thin, blue attitudes far
above the clouds.
Plans New Try Soon.
TIE discoveries were discussed here
during the last few days in conferences
between Phillips and the flyer, owner
of the world-circling plane Winnie
Mae. Post, forced down in his last
attempt at Lafayette, Ind. by faulty
supercharger, plans to return to the
West Coast for new try soon.
UNFORTUNATELY" said Phillips, "the
public's attention has been focused
on records Wiley strove for. 1, my
self, did not realize the full importance
of his experimental work in the strato-
sphere until I talked with him again
this week.
First of all he has definitely proved
man can live for extended periods on
pure liquid oxygen. For three periods
of eight hours or more during his
flights he has done it. He is a pioneer
in this respect.
Praised for Discoveries.
"This feature is important. Liquid
oxygen eliminates the weight problem
created by gaseous oxygen which must
be carried in bulky, heavy containers.
A small, light tank supplies sufficient
LIQUID oxygen for an or 10 hour
flight in heights where man cannot
live without it. Post has suffered no
discomfort"
The oil man explained Posts sue
cessful use of liquid oxygen was a
supplementary development to his self
designed rubber flying suit and diving
helmet which functioned perfectly
during the flights.
This lightweight suit, Phillips de-
clared. eliminates physical hazards OF
ascents into the heights and will be
the key to success in future aerial
combats.
Post has done more than any living
man to overcome obstacles to strato-
sphere flying Phillips said. Official
records do not show he holds any
altitude marks. but it is matter OF
public record he has flown longer IN
the stratosphere than any other man.
