Champion, naval officer, received the stunning news from the bureau of standards today that on preliminary reading his battered barographs would show only 89,000 feet.

Champion's plane caught fire during the descent, and (lis engine blew UP at 36,000 feet, but he landed uninjured in a corn field. The' pilot fought the flames with his hands to save the barographs, on which official establishment of the record depends. One of the Instruments was destroyed and the other slightly damaged. Unless revised readings should change this result, Champion must, for the present at least, leave -to Calllzo, the Frenchman, the official honor of having flown highest 40,820 feet.
