HIGH SPEED
ATTAINED BY WILEY POST. LOS ANGELES, Sunday. Wiley Post, testing his “stratosphere plane,” which is his world-famous Winnie Mae specially equipped for high altitude flying, reached a speed of 300 miles an hour to-day at an altitude of five miles. Within a few days, perhaps to-mor-row, he expects to start a cross continent non-stop flight to New Y T ork, maintaining an altitude of over five miles. He hopes to complete the trip in less than seven hours.
