“High Flier” Planning Air Trip Over Everest

M. Callizo and a view of Mt. Everest over which he hopes to fly

PARIS, Mar. 4—By the simple process of flying over Mount Everest, tallest mountain in the world, M. Callizo, daring French flier, hopes to accomplish what climbers have failed many times to do.

Numerous expeditions have fought their way through the lower recess the Himalayas only to be compelled to turn back when they were within striking distance of the top. The last such expedition ended tragically. Everest is still unconquered—the world’s last rebel.

Callizo holds the world’s altitude record of 39,586 feet, the mark Lieut. MacReady, of the United States army, recently endeavored to better in a test at Dayton, Ohio. Everest is 10,000 feet lower than this, being 29,140 feet above sea level. However, exploring the summit by air is not merely a matter of achieving altitude. That would be simple enough.

President Coolidge does not approve the five-year building program for the Naval Air Service, calling for an appropriation of $85,000,000, which has been reported out by the House naval affairs Committee.

The President considers this sum far too large to coincide with his ideas of a peace time expenditure for aircraft. He also thinks the amount exceeds what the Aircraft Board appointed by him to make recommendations for proper development had in mind.

Boy Scouts To Clean Winslow Landing Field

Following completion of leveling and grading the runways of Winslow’s new municipal landing field, which will be finished some time this week, the Boy Scouts, upholding their creed of “doing a good turn daily” will turn out Saturday and start work of clearing the entire field of old tin cans which have been dumped on the grounds in days gone by, so that Winslow’s new field will present a spick and span appearance to birdmen who will light here in the future.

This Saturday A. R. Hipkoe’s troop will go to the field and carry on work of clearing and next Saturday Jack Lindsay’s troop will complete the work. Chas. Daze, local transfer man will donate a truck to haul away the debris as it is gathered on both days.
