Flying Laboratory Takes Off
For Sky Research in West
By WiIIicm J. WheotIey

ANDREWS FIELD, Md, Mar. %.
An Army B-29, packed with deli
cate electronic instruments for in
vestigation of solar radiation and
other phenomena at high attitudes,
left here yesterday to conduct extern
sive experiments at the Naval Ord
nance Test Station, Inyokern, Calf.
The flying laboratory can operate
above the earth's dense blanket of
air to develop scientific information
valuable to commercial as well as
military research, according to DR..
Allan T. Waterman, chief scientist
at the Office of Naval Research.
Studies cf the operation OF ma
chimes and instruments in rarefied
air, and the effect of the suns radi-
alton, rocket operation and high
altitude cloud formations will be
made by civilian scientists under
Navy direction and in cooperation
with the AAF.
At a preview of the plane here DR..
Waterman explained that the sun
is a nuclear power factory whose
rays above the air blanket make
possible precise study of the atom.
The applied physics laboratory at
Silver Spring, Md, will study cosmic
rays at attitudes between s., 1000 and
40 900 feet to supplement data OBJ
tanned at up to 100000 feet by use of
the W. rocket.

Mr.. Hellinger considered himself
New Yorker although he spent
most of the last decade of his life
in Hollywood. He continued to
subscribe to the New York papers,
carried a New York license plate
ON his car over his California
license and his Office was decorated
with pictures of famous New York
figures.
As we'll known in night clubs as
his jaunty step and blue-black shirt,
was his reputation as heavy Upper.
He was considered, an incurable
sentimentalist and a soft touch
for cronies of the prohibition era
who were short of money. A lead
ing chronicler of the festive phase
of the 20s, Mr.. Hellinger decided
that his columns could get more
readers with tears than gunfire.
Dropped From School.
Mr.. Hellinger's father Paul hoped
he would become lawyer. but de-
SPARED after the boy dropped out
of Townsend Harris High School.
Mark said later he was dropped be-
cause he led a students strike
which dwindled to one striker, him
self. Private schools failed to make
law more attractive to young Hell
linger.
At the age of 18 he got his first
taste of prohibition night life as
