Hundreds of men explored the
possibilities of flight before the
Wright brothers first successful
flight on December IT, 1908.
The experiments of these pio-
neers were as varied and pic
tureSque as the personalities in
volved. They suffered bitter
defeat. ridicule, injury and some
times death in their work.
But as they began to record
their findings, the problems of
human flight started to clarity
until the one thing needed was
perfection of a gasoline engine.
And so these strange contrap-
tionS, seeking to emulate the
birds in the air, all were born
before Kitty Hawk.
The paintings accompanying
this story are the work of the
noted aviation artist, Charles H.
Hubbell of Cleveland. They are
reproduced here through the
courtesy of Mr.. Hubbell and
Thompson Products, Inc. The
story starts this way:
In 1912, an English engineer.
w. S. Henson. who had expert
mented with gliders for seven
years. patented the design for
his Ariel steam carriage. This
was a high-wing cabin mono
plane with a tricycle. landing
gear, but it never was built. In
vestors SHE'D away from the
idea.
Mechanical Flight.
John Stringfellow, another
Englishman who had worked
with Henson, came through
next, in 1848, with the idea OF
a steam-operated model flying
machine. This craft had a 10
foot Widespread, weighed less
than nine pounds, and actually
few several times, to accom-
plish the worlds successful me-
chanical flights.
After observing the flights of
the albatross. Jean Marie LIE
Bris, a French sea captain, in
1855, built a 50-foot machine in
imitation of the bird. 1t was
towed behind a horse cart. Once
the machine scared aloft, carry
ing the driver of the cart with
1t into the air. Disaster was
averted by LIE BriS' expert ham
ding of the controls. After
building a second machine,
which was unsuccessful, LIE BriS
abandoned his experiments.
Numerous contributions to the
science of aviation were made
by Alphonse Penaud, often con-
sidered the pioneer of the air
plane in France. He invented a
model called the Planaphore in
1871. It was powered with rubber
bands. In what probably were
the first powered flights in
France, he flew the little ship
in the Tuileries Gardens in
Paris.
Killed in Glider.
In 1884, Prof. John j. Mont
gomery flew his first glider on
his famlly's ranch near San
Diego, Calf. He built the craft
after studying the flights of
birds and once scared more than
600 feet from a mountainside.
But his pioneer work was for
gotten, and in 1911 he was killed
in a glider accident.
The next experiment of note
occurred in 1892, when Lawrence
Hargrave, an Australian, built
a model that flew successfully.
Its power came from a Tapping
wing propeller actuated by a
small compressed-air motor In
all Hargrave built more than so
models and a box kite which
could carry man aloft.
In 1893. the famous aviation
pioneer. Otto Lilienthal, built
many gliders based on sound
aeronautical principles, and his

longest flights, those of about
750 feet, were made in the Rhine
row Hills, near Stolen, Ger
many. He lost his life in a glid-
ing accident in 1896 and so did
not see his dreams come true.
Sir Hiram Maxim's giant air
plane was evolved in 1893. A
large and complicated craft, it
had a wing span of 104 feet and
was powered by two compound
steam engines of $50 horse
power each. The machine ran
along steel rails placed 9 feet
apart. Trial runs were started
in 1894. But on the third at

the machine was demolished.
Langley's Flights.
In 1896, the well-known Prof.
S. P. Langley built two model
aircraft. One of them, pictured
here, flew successfully several
times over the Potomac River
near Quantico, Va. But the man
carrying craft he also built. called
the Aerodrome, was wrecked
in an attempt to launch it from
a houseboat.
The following year Clement
Ader, a Frenchman, built his
Avion, his third machine.
Though it made several hops into
the air, it was unable to main
tain sustained or controlled fight.
and the discouraged Adler gave
up.
A man of vast scientific knowl-
edge, Octave Chanute began his
gliding experiments in 1898 when
he was so years old. He tested
his machine on the sand dunes
near Chicago, and finally de-
signed a biplane in which the
operator was suspended beneath
the wings. He maintained the
crafts equilibrium by shifting
the weight of his body. He made
many successful glides with this
machine.
BY 1901, Wilbur and Orville
Wright. who invented the first
successful airplane, were fairly
certain they were on the right
road to success, in their expert
ments with gliders. 1t was at
Kitty Hawk, N. c., where they
made numerous flights with the
gliders before they attempted to
fly with an engine.
Research for Pictures.
These, then, are the pioneers.
Mr.. Hubbell spent a long time
in research to depict with tech
nical accuracy, the details Of
their creations.
His work is widely known. In
the years since his first aviation
calendar (theSe pictures were
taken from one of 1882, Thomp-
son Products, Inc, of Cleveland,
Ohio, has printed more than IL
million reproductions made from
various Hubbell originals, which
carry with them a dramatic feel
ing of flight.
Mr.. Hubbell's paintings and
technical models are in the
Smithsonian Institution. His
paintings also are in the White
House and other famous settings.
They have appeared in leading
magazines. He has become IA
nous as an authority on early
aircraft and pilots.
Before he had been graduated
from high school he had built
himself a full-Size glider and was
hard at work on a man-ca1Tying
airplane. During naval service
in World War I, he spent his
time redesigning experimental
aircraft He is a pilot himself.
In 1885, his annual calendar
depicted the famous series of
T n mpSon Trophy winning
planes. Since then, he has done
many famous aeronautical calen-
dars for the firm. Reproductions
OF Mr.. Hubbell's paintings have
appeared in many national pub
locations.

UninVited Guests
Visit Chester

CHESTER - Several places in
Chester were visited by unin-
vited guests on Monday night.
The Fank Evans Electric Com
pany suffered the greatest loss
from thieves. 1t is reported that
over $4,000 worth of merchan-
disc was taken, the cash regis
ter smashed and some cash TAX
en- also. Entrance was gained
by breaking window. The pres
ence of James Vorel in the Vor
el grocery store, no doubt saved
that place of business from be-
ing plundered. Shortly before
midnight Mr.. Vorel, who was
asleep in the store was awaken
ed by the slamming of a door.
Upon investigating he saw a
man coming from the new part
and attempting to enter the
grocery. He tried to escape
through the front door, which
was locked and finally left by
the way in which he entered.
The window in a wash room in
the new part of the building had
been broken and the window
opened. The intruder had come
in through that. He made his
way across the storage room
and left the door open as he at
tempted to gain entrance
through an opening into the
store part. The draft from the
open wash room window caus-
ed the door to slam, arousing
Mr.. Vorel. Marks on a rear door
showed that an attempt had
been made to gain entrance
through that but with no sue
cess. Reports are that maraud-
erS were around the Mol Hill
China and Pottery Shop. T h e
building was not entered but
things around the outside were
disturbed.

transferred to a Chardon route
and Bond assumed the duty of
serving a 4 mile route here. He
worked until July /, 1852, when
he retired. His substitute, Ed
win Lincks has acted as carrier
since that time. The route has
become increasingly heavier
each year. Additional mail and
the many new homes built in
Chester bringing in new pat
ronS, have made the volume of
mail very large. With two
routes many patrons will re-
ceive their mail much earlier in
the day.

France and Her Status in Europe
Bdouts Conditions for Approval Of Western European Pocs
Called Obstinocy and Sign Of His Nations Weakness

The remarks Of M. Bidault,
following the foreign ministers
conference in Washington,
will not encourage Germans
who support the American
policy of a strong United
Europe.
M. Bidault stated that the
French Parliament won't rat
ify the European Defense
Treaty without the special
French protocols, without a
written understanding Of Brit
ish association with it, and
without a previous settlement
of the Saar isSue-on French
terms.
These conditions play into
the hands of German Socialists
and neutraliSts when the
West German election cam
paign already is under way,
in which the chief issue is for
eign policy.
Domestically, West Germany
is flourishing. Its increase of
employment since 1948 is the
highest in Europe except Lux
embourg's, which it equals;
its currency is stable: its
standard of living is rising;
and it is rehousing its people
at twice the rate of Great
Britain and three times that
of France. Domestically, the
Adenauer administration can
stand on its record.
But there is growing opposi-
ton to it's foreign policy. on
the ground that it is not Ger
man. but American: that it
neglects the interests Of a
United Germany; and that
Adenauer's pan European
dream must fail because Of
France, which will never agree
to equal political rights for
Germany or equal German
rights in a European army.

a power and defense vacuum.
Like Korea (another penin-
sula) Western Europe is ac-
ceSsible to land armies, and Is
now wide open on the unpro-
tected marches from Siberia to
the Rhine. The problem is not
primarily theological, but mill
tary and geographic.
Only the combined power Of
all Western Europe can flll
this vacuum. But in a united
Europe, the role of France
would be reduced to its appro-
pirate place, and it is this
which the French will not &C
cept, clinging to q fiction Of

real power by decreasing that
of others in a situation that
demands all the power avail

which, as in De Tocqueville's
time, overshadows all Europe
and half Of Asia, is Indifferent
to France. All Russia wants or
needs is an impotent Germany.

In this ambition, Russia is

News Reporting on Mccarthy
Claims Both Sides of Controversy Held Not Always Foctuo
Senator'S Action on Hiring Called His Major Mistake
Constantine Brown

Congress Is expected to ad-
journ at the end of this month.
Thus, much Of the space de-
voted in many of our news
papers to Senator Joseph Nc
Carthy and his tribulations
can be devoted to increased
coverage of the more explosive
world situation and the many
burning domestic problems.
At present a look at our
newspapers gives the impress
sion that the junior Senator
from Wisconsin is about the
only important issue in our
national life.
To a detached observer, the
reporting on Mccarthy and
his activities does not appear
to be always in accordance
with the good old American
traditions.
In the nearly three -and-a-
half years since the Wisconsin
Senator violently hit the front
pages Of our press, he has
made one major blunder. He
refused to accept the friendly
request Of Senator John Nc
Clellan. the ranking minority
member Of his investigating
subcommittee, to postpone for
a few days a committee vote
on the chairman's right to hire
and fire its personnel.
Senator Mcclellan, one of
the most respected members
of the Senate, has supported
McCarthy's Investigations and
added to the prestige Of the
subcommittee. The vote on
McCarthy's authority to hire
and fire the personnel was in
fact a routine matter which
could easily have stood a few
days delay. Since the mem
bership of the subcommittee
is composed of four Repub-
licans and three Democrats it
was a foregone conclusion how
the voting would go on that
particular issue.
Yet McCarthy's refusal to
accede to this demand resulted
in the Democrats resigning in
a body, leaving the Repub-
licans alone to handle highly
controversial Investigations.
This was McCarthy's major
