by the Federal Bureau of Standards !

and the National Aeronautical Asso- ciation, however, before the winner is announced officially.

by the Great Lakes Exposition bal-

loon from Cleveland, third and fourth j by the United States Navy bags and i fifth by the United States Army bal- l

loon, which exploded and burned In I landing 37 miles southeast of Denver j Saturday.

Previously, Maj. Flood announced j Trotter’s balloon had landed near | Sterling. Colo., 115 miles northeast of here.

Flood said the winners of the first three places in the race have the 1 right to enter the James Gordon Ben- j nett international race at Warsaw, Poland, August 30.

Paul Long of Sterling Colo., said today that Trotter's balloon did not touch ground near Sterling, but that Trotter anchored his bag to Long's automobile 17 miles west of there. [

Long slaid the pilot gave him mes- | sages to forward to various places. | then released his bag, dumped ballast and soared away. The bag hovered I In the Sterling vicinity for several | hours before floating away to the | northeast.

Long quoted Trotter as saying tne

time he was anchored to the car did not constitute a landing and that he ■wa^ observing the rules of the race.

Maj. Flood said an involuntary stop of 15 minutes was permitted.

He declined to discuss the matter at length, saying the race officials would have to study the matter and give a decision later on whether Trot- ter's flight distance would be to Ster- ling or into South Dakota.

Even if the distance is measured to Sterling. Trotter still would be the leader, inasmuch as none of the other balloons made that mileage, j -.-

Touring Hoffmans And Krafciks Seek Children’s Restvap Exchange Youngsters on

Trip to Capital, Then Get Separated.

The Hoffman and Krafcik families, All cousins, made up a happy motor caravan when they left Cleveland on a holiday trip to the Capital, but on their way back last night nobody seemed to know where anybody else was.

At Tarentum, Pa., Saturday after- noon, Mr. and Mrs. John Hoffman and Mr. and Mrs. Krafcik decided It would be nice for 17-month-old Florence Hoffman to ride with the Krafciks and 9-year-old Andrew Kraf- cik with the Hoffmans.

Sticking together, the families drove imoothly for many miles. The Hoff- man's car, however, wheezed and finally stopped. Unaware that they were no longer being followed, the Krafciks went on.

Police were asked to lend a hand in bringing about a reunion when the Krafciks arrived here early yesterday. The families never got together, though, but started back home, not far apart, by the same route—the

# Krafciks taking care of the Hoffman baby and the Hoffmans looking after the Krafcik boy.
