PACE TWENTY-FOUR THE JOURNAL-STANDARD. FREEPORT. ILL THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1947 Reynolds Sets Mark In Dash To Washington Washington, April Reynolds, millionaire pen maker Who Mt ft new 'round-the-world flight record of 78 hours, broke another mark unofficially today In speeding here from Chicago for an appointment with president Truman. The Reynolds A-26 "Bombshell" landed here at 2 a.m. (E.S.T.), for an elapsed time of one hour and 45 minutes in the flight from Chicago.

The time was 37 minutes faster than the official inter-city record listed by the National Aeronautic association. Jack Prye, former president of Transcontinental and Western Air, set the standing record of two hours, 22 minutes Feb. 18, 1936. The N.A.A. must have timers at both takeoff and landing points for the record to be official.

To See President Reynolds and his crew of two were to see Mr. Truman at 11:30 a.m. (E.S.T.). The average speed of the Raynolds plane on the fight from Chicago was about 338 miles per hour. This was considerably slower than jet fighter planes speeds which approach 600 miles per hour.

The normal commercial flying time from Chicago to Washington Is three hours, 24 minutes or nearly twice the time of the Reynolds flight. Late Yesterday Reynolds apparently was making sure he did not repeat his performance of yesterday when he was late for an appointment with the president. Bad weather delayed his arrival here from New York until 4:19 p.m., yesterday, 19 minutes after he was due at the white house, But that didn't slow Reynolds down. He decided to breeze over to Chicago to "sign a few paper." He took off at 6:30 p.m. yesterday and was In the Windy City two hours, 30 minutes later.

He was accompanied by his globe- girdling crew, Capt. William Odom, SEND MONEY BY STATE BANK DRAFT The charge is only ten cents per hundred dollars.

Carroll Bailee, flight engineer.

Bailee postponed his marriage to pretty Patricia Houlihan until after his visit with the president. He was scurrying around today trying to find her a present to "square himself," he told a reporter.
