(IP)—Seven days of headlong speed, high tension and sleeplessness began to show on Wiley Post and Harold Gatty today, but they gritted their teeth and hopped off here for Edmonton, Alberta, to approach the end of their 15,000 mile dash around the world in less than 240 hours. Scarcely pausing after making the 2500-mile flight from Khabarovsk, Siberia, across the north Pacific to Solomon, Alaska, and then 500 miles to Fairbanks, they left here at 3:24 a. m. (8:24 a. m. E. S. T.) on the 1450-mile trek to the Canada city with Gatty nursing an injured arm and Post yearning for sleep.
