High. Last week a 3,700 h.p. Alfa-Romeo Cant Zappata, with Italian Pilots Stoppani & Di Mauro, carrying 4.400 Ib. of pay load, rose to 29,344 ft. (over 5 1/2 mi.) above Trieste--a record for seaplanes and additional support for the assertion of National Aeronautic Association's president. Charles Horner. that Italy leads the U. S. in aviation "by a substantial margin."

Fast. Flying a 14-cylinder, 1,200 h.p. Twin-Wasp Sever sky that won him the Bendix Trophy for 1937, California's Frank W. Fuller last week whizzed out of Vancouver, crossed 20 miles of Canada, 1,184 miles of U. S. and penetrated 5 miles into Mexico, landing at Agua Caliente 4 hours, 54 minutes after his takeoff. Flyer Fuller cut 34 minutes off the best previous time for linking the three North American nations, claimed to have used but 670 h.p. in his flight.
