on N'vw Muxko-Monday, Oclubci I I 1976 Satisfies Balloonist LISBON, Portugal (DPI) Ed Yost, who failed by 58J miles to become the first person to across'the Atlantic Ocean' jn'a balloon, said today he was satisfied because his flight had broken a number of longstanding balloon records. "I was just happy to stay in air," Yost said b-y ship-to- shorc radio. "1 have no intention of trying to cross the Altanlic again and I have bettered the endurance and distance records." Yost ditched his balloon "Silver Fox" 200 miles east ot the Azores Islands Sunday and was picked up unhurt three hours later by a West German freighter. His comments were received in Bonn, West Germany. The 57-year-old Yost said that until he exhausted his ballast by dumping it to gain altitude, he had had a trouble-free flight with only minor problems from cloud cover.

He denied an earlier report that his supply of helium had been depleted: "The problem was that the weathermen told me I had to keep climbing higher in order to get favorable winds, but they never came," Yost said. "The svinds were southerly rather than from the east and although I could have carried on for another two days I planned on Firm Offers Fringe Benefits AUSTIN, Tex.

"The state appears to be in a tight cash situation for the month of October, hut the problems seems less critical for 'the remainder of 1976-77," told the opening session of the29th Arizona Town Hall.

But since the time that prediction was made, the slate's employment rate has dropped, and collections sales and use taxes increased24.4per cent. "The most recent state revenue forecasts are con- siderably higher than the $816 million state budget for the current year, and if this trend continues, it will leave the state wilh a comfortable cash carryover at the end of year, "he said.

Castro challenged the 125 Town Hall participants to examine past and present trends in Arizona's economy and to develop "innovate ideas to help produce a strong and aggressive slate economy in the future." "Our goal here is to develop policies and the means that will enable us to have a strong economy, despite adverse conditions or decisions elsewhere," hesaid. He said full employment, stable prices, a balanced state budget and balanced and steady growth are the keys to to a healthy stale economy.

"Almost everyone is aware of the steps individuals can take to save on home utility bills," said owner Charles Burks. "But so few people actually take the time or effort to do it. We make it easy for them." The home survey determines not only what energy conservation measures would be effective in a particular house, but how long it would take the homeowner to recoup the initial expense in utility bill savings.

Energy Mir.ers' residential engineers calculate the amount of savings a homeowner con realize in heating and cooling costs from adding one to six inches of attic insulation, installing wind turbines or coating windows with a sun screen film. The company also sells solar water heaters and is about ready to design solar-powered space heating systems, said Burks, a real estate salesman for 10 years. Burks decided to organize the company last year because he thought was a special need for energy conservation assistance to homeowners.

Yost'said he did not know whether, the Elizabeth Bolten which rescued him would land, him in Gibraltar.

The two-ton craft which was specially to' double as a sailboat in case of an emergency lifted off last Tuesday from Milbridge, Me. An American Air Force HC130, sent from the RAF Wood ridge Air Base in Britain to an eye on the balloon, watched it plop into the ocean at 5:47 a.m. MDT Sunday and directed the passing freighter "Elisabeth Bolton" to the splashdown site. The captain of the freighter radioed that Yost was unharmed and in good spirits, according to an Air Force spokesman in Ramslein, West Germany. The balloonist was expected to arrive in Gibraltar Tuesday morning.

"Yost was in good spirits because he had broken a lot of records," the spokesman quoted the captain as saying. But he said the American was "a bit sorry, though, because he did not land on solid ground." Until Saturday, airline pilots had reported the balloonist's altitude at about 12,000 feet -but the spokesman said Yost had begun to lose altitude, despite reducing his ballast to 35 pounds. Yost's progress across the Atlantic was tracked by a crew in McLean, Va. and by pilots who called in his position 1 to international airports in New York, London and Lisbon. Yost, of Sioux' Falls, S.D., spent $100,000 of his own money on-the project, which took a year and a half to prepare.

The veteran balloon pilot holds at least 20 balloon patents and has worked on many scientific projects for the NationalAeronauticsandSpace Administration.
