WASHINGTON, June %.
The stratosphere balloon
lists who soon will take off
from near Rapid City, S. D.,
hope to penetrate farther
into the region of semi
dark, frigid and almost
empty space above the
earth than any men before
have been and lived to tell
the story.
A record altitude of IA
to Is miles, or 1920 to
79,200 feet, is their goal in
the largest and most elab-
orately equipped balloon
built. At that height, where the
sun flames in a purplish black
sky. they hope to make a va
riety of observations that will
push outward the frontiers of
science.
At that altitude, the slightest
miscalculation or defect in equip
ment can mean instant death.
The air is only one twenty-f1fth
as dense as at the surface. The
explorers must depend entirely on
the manufactured" atmosphere
within their sealed gondola.
THREE Russian balloonists, in
Il January. 1884, reached a re-
ported height of 72,20O feet, but
persisted in the descent.
The present official record is
81 .237 feet, set Nov 20, 1888, on
an ascent from Akron, o., by
Lieut.. Commander T. G. w. Set
tie and Maj. Chester Forney.
The stratoSpheristS on this
fight. Capt. Albert w. Stevens
and Capt. Anvil A. Anderson, are
fully aware of the dangers and
have taken every conceivable pre-
caution against them.
Both are veteran Army balloon
lists. Both we're on last years

loon, Explorer I, which ripped at
an altitude of 10000 feet and then
exploded over a Nebraska corn
field. They jumped by parachute
from the plummeting balloon.
Undaunted by that failure, the
two agencies, in cooperation with
numerous scientific advisers, built
the new and larger Explorer II.
1t has a capacity of 3,700000 cubic
feet, % per cent larger than last
years craft and when fully in
flated is 1872 feet in diameter. The
fabric which ripped last year has
been strengthened.
TINE balloon will be inflated
i with expensive but non-ex-
plosive helium gas to avoid the
dangers of hydrogen, which al
ways hitherto has, been used in
free balloons.
The gondola, hanging 20 feet
beneath the balloon, is an air
tight metal sphere nine feet in
diameter into which a compact
scientific laboratory has been
built. It is made of a magnesium
alloy, lighter than aluminium, and
only three sixteenthS of an inch
thick.
At an altitude of about 10000
feet the balloonists expect to lock
the portfolios of the gondola and
thereafter depend On artificial air

Ewing Mitchell, dismissed as
sistant secretary Of commerce,
was once a page and doorkeeper
in the Senate, worked his way
through night law school by
means of the latter job.
Some of the inner council advis-
ers are proposing a compromise
on the taxation issue. They sug-
gest that a special committee be
authorized to study the question
and submit Fe commentators for
a tax bill next session. This was
the tactic followed last year on
the social security program.
A PIPELINE tip has reached
"A Treasury officials that the
Board of Tax Appeals is at last
about to hand down a decision in
the case of Charles E. Mitchell,
one-time potent head of the Ma
tional City Bank, who is charged
with large-scale income tax viola
ton. The case has been slum-
bering in the files Of the board
for more than a year. Recently a
report was current that the board
proposed withholding a ruling on

heard that congressional leaders

 In this currently democratic state, ironically enough, it took the Seventh Ward Republican club of New Haven to knock over the Chase Brass team total of 1,7S9 which has stood up since the open ing night of the tournament, when the Elm City lads rolled better than 1,S00 to take the team lead in the tournament. Exactly, their count was 1901. A new singles leader was also set up in Billy Wiedak of Georgia Cafeteria, Hartford team. who hit 134, 145 and 136 for 415 total to pass Billy Tato's 40 which has also been tops for several days. Mac Carboni of the Crown alleys, New Haven, tied the 40 singles, and took the lead in the mems all-events with 1,174 total which including 404 on his team and 36O in the doubles, plus his 40 singles mark.

VISCUSI CLAIM IS GOT EM WRONG
 IN BRIBE PROBE
Hartford Manager Insists $l0O Talk Was on
 Weight Argument

Hartford, Conn.,, May 3.-(UP) Louis Viscusi. manager for Jim- my Leto. Hartford fighter, told State Athletic Commissioner Jo- seph W. Lawlor that Louis Kid Coco, New Haven, ''got me all wrong" when he accused him of offering $100 to throw" the fight to Leto at the New Haven arena last Friday night.
 Coco made the accusation after Leto gained a one-point decision in Q feature bout.
 According to Coco, Viscusi call- ed at his home in company with another boxer on the card and made the offer.
 As Viscusi told it to Commis- sioner Lawlor, he said he was tipped that Coco might pull fast one on him" and he never could make the weight limit of 140 pounds.
 He. Was There
 Viscusi admitted he called at Coco's home.
 ''I asked Coco if he could make 140 pounds. He told me he didn't know but that he would try. I said to him You know there is no weight forfeit up but there is $100 fulfllment clause in this contract. You know that if you weigh 140 pounds you'll get 8 shellacking and if you don't there will be no fight
 Coco said to me: Let me get this straight. You mean if I weigh over 140 pounds you'll give me $100 and there will be no fight?'
 ''I said to him: No, you have it all wrong. If you make 140 pounds you will take licking and if you weigh over 140 there will be no fight"
 Lawlor took the matter uRder adyisement.

Ports, Plainfield
 Play on Sunday

The Waterbury Portuguese Soc cer team will meet Plainfield at the ,Naugatuck Recreation field on Sun day afternoon. This game will be another in a series for the state championship and the locals are favored to win. They defeated Plainfield on their home field last Sunday afternoon by a score of 5-3. The series has been planned in accordance with the high SCOT ing team at the finish being ac- claimed as winners. A tie for the Ports will entitle them to their quest. If they should be outpoint- ed by more than two goals they will be in a serious difficulty that may call for another game.
 The contest is looked forward to in the local soccer world as the most crucial games in which the Ports have participated in the past six years.
