BALLOONISTS SUCCESSFUL IN RESEARCH
Scientists Make Safe Landing With Data; Plan New Flight.
INNSBRUCK, Austria, Mey 28 _ (UP) —Two scientists, who returned to earth today after a thrilling trip in an experimental balloon, more excited over scientific data they had obtained than they were over their adventure Into the unknown, plan another such ascent. It was learned tonight.
Prof. Auguste Piccard, of the University of Brussels, and his companion, Charles Klpfer, who departed by balloon from Bavaria on Wednesday morning, landed last night on the Ourgl glacier in southwestern Austria. The delicate instruments in the six-foot aluminum carriage of the balloon were not damaged and the two men — feared dead — were in good condition.
FLIGHT BUCCE88FUL “We reached the height we desired to attain," was the matter-of-fact way in which Prof. Piccard summed up his Journey from the earth. ’’The flight was a sue-cess. We have an abundance of scientific material and we attained a height of 16.000 meter. (Just under ten miles.
••We landed without dlfflfulty after picking out the glacier because it offered a fairly even surface compared to the Jagged rock, nearby." said Prof Piccard. "We jolted slightly when the gon dola scraped over the glacier, but the balloon was scarcely damaged •Our flight from Augsburg (Bavaria) w’as made at an average height of 30,000 feet. We had originally planned to land on tbe plains of northern Italy.''
LANDING SLOW Professor Piccard revealed that the warm atmosphere close to the earth prevented the balloon from landing yesterday.
The two scientists said they had not slept for 48 hours, being unable to sleep In the balloon carriage because af the Intense cold.
professor Piccard and Klpfer came to Ourgl after remaining last night on the glacier. They met a group of alpine climbers who had goen out from Soleden to aid them. The rescue party offered them aid but the two scientists said they merely needed refreshment.
The scholarly Swiss sciential waa far more excited about the data he gathered in the stratosphere - that mysterious layer of rarlfied air on the fringe of outer space - than about the record breaking trip which he and Klpfer had made into the heavens. He was calm concerning ,he hazards of the Journey and said they never were alarmed during their trip of some 1» hours
