Man Will Try Again Another Day Muscle Powered Plane

Joseph A. Zinno 52 of North Providence Rhode Island attempted to launch a muscle powered airplane at a former naval air base beside Narragansett Bay. Four tries ended earthbound as he pedals the lightweight craft with no engine. He plans to tinker and return with hopes of lifting off on a calm wind day, aiming for a ten foot rise and eventually a figure eight. Europeans have achieved man powered flight, but Americans have not completed a figure eight.

Carter Faces Tough Numerical Task for Nomination

With about one third of Democratic delegates chosen, Jimmy Carter must more than double his delegate capture to win on the first ballot. On the Republican side Ford leads in delegates, but Reagan says no first-ballot victory is assured with two candidates.
