WASHINGTON, Jan. l6. (UP).

The tale was opened by Jack
Barton, a paid employee Of the
Communist party, who was SEN
fenced to six months at hard labor
in Bessemer, Ala, for possessing
literature recommending over

ment.
He said he was thrown into a

other prisoners and was forced to
wear a heavy shackle while work
ing on city streets. Finally, his
health gone and Is pounds under

Eight-Hour Coast.to-C Coast
Service Goal Of Tests
in Progress
BY LEO SoRoKA
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Jan. l6.
(UP). An cight-hour coast-to-
coast flying service in the sub
stratosphcre is the object of tests
being conducted in Dayton, o.
Engineers and aviation pilots
are making the tests in an airplanc
designed with a General Electric
turbo supercharger, which fur
nishcs enormous power necessary
to drive a ship to great heights
six miles or more above the earth
and then to terrific speeds.
The experiments are under di.
rection of ID. w. Tomlinson and
James Heistand of Transcontinen-
tai and Western Air, Inc, and W..
A. Reeves, General Electric ex-
pert. The men flew from Kansas
City to Dayton at ESQ miles an
hour at an altitude Of 10000 feet
and in temperatures as low as so
degrees below zero. They were
forced to use special oxygen feed
ing equipment to breathe. On
landing the men said they expert
cnced great hunger.
J. C. Millar, head of the COM
mercial aeronautical section OF
General Electric, believes there
are a great many difficulties still
to be overcome before CONNER
cial flying in the substratosphere
is practical.
1.-THE plane must be sealed and
the air supply conditioned against
the rarefied atmosphere and sub
freezing temperatures" Miller
said. Engineers must also deter
mine how to equalize, inside the
plane, the stresses and strains
caused by rapid changes in pres
sure"
Pilots attest that the most dan.
gerous flying area in the United
States is over the Allegheny noun
tains where the worst conditions
are caused when "hot weather"
from the southwest usually meets
"cold weather" from the Canadian
northwest. Violent storms result.
Engineers hope, however. that
"overweather" flying at 10000
feet or higher, will eliminate the
dangers from even the Allegheny
flying area.
The TWA has copyrighted the
word "overweather" to describe
it's service of the future. Officials
are confident of their high altitude
experiments.
Constantly fair weather exists
above 10000 feet, where storms
winds and other disturbances lose
their force. Commercial air lines
are interested in the possibility OF
flying in this "overweather" zone
not only because of troublefret
atmospheric conditions, but be
cause higher speeds are possible
Thin air at high attitudes re

on the airplane motor. In opera
ton, the supercharger, similar t
a fan blower, keeps up the ali
pressure so that the motor can OPP

than normal, speeds.
The General Electric turbosuper
charger was developed and bull
at the Thomson laboratory of Thu

FATAL FIRE HAZARD
BROUGHT BY SANTA
1nfammable Decorations of Yule
Raise Toll of December
to Peak.

More deaths and injuries occur
from burns during December than in
any other month and, according to a
safety warning from the American
Red Cross. Santa Clause causes more
than his share of them.
In the first place, Santa often sets
himself afire by putting lighted
matches, cigars or cigarettes too near
his whiskers. In such cases. of course,
Santa is directly responsible for the
fire and has only himself to blame
Indirectly. he causes Christmas
trees, tinsel and other inf1ammable
decorations to be placed in houses
where they would not ordinarily be.
These decorations probably represent
one of the greatest fire hazards to be
found in the American home during
the month of December.
To make Santa's entrance easier
and also to reduce the possibility of
fire, home owners are warned by the
Red Cross to clean their chimneys
now"
You can't heardly blame Santa if
people want to crowd together in
buildings and jam up the exits, but
nevertheless the Red Cross final
warning on fires is to stay out of such
places-Christmas or any other time.
