Show Cold Hampers Soviet Flight EDMONTON, Alta., Aug. 21 (I'.Ri Freezing weather in the high altitutde of the Arctic may prevent the projected 6,000-mile flight of three Soviet airmen from Moscow to San Francisco this fall, the United Press learned today. M. Sokolov, Soviet air official stationed at Aklavik to aid the fliers on their hazardous journey, said the flight probably would be postponed until 1936 unless it could be started this week. Sokolov, Sullivan said, told him the plane had been ready for about 10 days but that with colder cold-er weather prevailing in the high altitudes in which the flight would be made, danger of ice forming on the plane's wings was increasing daily. |
