Show STORM FORCES ? INGALLSDOWN; ALAMOSA, Colo., April 17 (U.R) Laura Ingalls, diminutive blue- eyed woman flier and a mechanic ! will inspect her low-winged mono- plane today to determine damage ' done by the dust which late yes- ' terday caused her to postpone her attempt to establish a new transcontinental trans-continental non-stop flight record. Return to Coast She appeared refreshed after a restful night. Miss Ingalls announced an-nounced that as soon as a com- ' plete inspection of her plane is made and the damage, if any, repaired, re-paired, . she would return to the Pacific coast in short hops. Whether she would fly to Denver Den-ver or Peublo, Colo., and then branch off on. her familiar route via New Mexico and Arizona, Miss Ingalls was undecided There was a possibility, she said, that she might fly directly to Albuquerque. "It all depends on weather conditions," condi-tions," she said. ' At 5:10 a. m. (PST) yesterday Miss Ingalls left Union Air Terminal at Burbank, Calif., on a flight in which she hoped to better bet-ter the record time of Amelia Earhart Putnam. Mrs. Putnam completed the coast-to-coast flight in 17 hours, 7 minutes and 30 seconds, sec-onds, in 1933. - Miss Ingalls' flying time; when she landed at the Alamosa municipal munici-pal airport at 4:49 p. m. (MST), was 10 hours and 39 minutes. '-. : : 1 |
