Radio Controlled Lights
To Guide Air Mail Pilots

SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 12.-Small
electric lights, operated by wireless,
will guide planes at night on the
transcontinental air mail route be-
tween Cheyenne. Wyo., Salt Lake
and San Francisco according to Col
John H. Jordon, chief Of construction
of the air mail service who was in
Salt Lake recently.
The lights. Col Jordon said. will
be tuned to the wireless instrument
at the three cities in such manner
that they will shine only when the
airplanes are within a certain radio
path about 200 feet in width. When
a machine strays from this path the
wind on which side of the path he
be tuned to the wireless instrument
the pilot will be obliged to determine
by the wind on which side OF the
path he is travelling An airplane
approaching to its destination will
be signaled by the flashing on and
off of the lights.
The process has proved a success
in thorough tests. according to Col
Jordan. and is owned exclusively by
the United States government.

250,000 Polish Jews Are
Bound for United States

GRAUDENZ, Poland, Oct. 12.-An
exodus of Jews from Poland which
has been steadily increasing for many
weeks, has reached such proportions
that Polish army officers say it is
certain that more than 100000 will
have left Most of them are bound
for America.
The Poles, who are frankly and
bitterly hostile toward the Jew
makes no objection to their depar-
ture, but they criticize what they
assert is the attitude of the joint dis
tribution committee of America,
which has many motor trucks and
large supplies throughout Poland.
When a number of trucks and auto
mobiles OF this committee arrived
here the military authorities refused
to permit them to proceed or move
about in the area, saying that accusa-
tions had been made that these
trucks were carrying contraband over
the German border under the protec
tion of the American flag and there
was evidence the committee had as
sisted Jews who were liable for nil
itary. service to leave Poland Proof
of these accusations was requested
by the correspondent but it was not
furnished.
The employee of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee in charge of the de-
tachment of trucks here appealed to
American army officers in GraudenZ
to use their influence to have the
trucks released but the officers de-
clined to interfere.
French officer, attached to the
French Military Commission here
said his government had adopted a
policy of expediting the departure
from France of the large number of
Jews going to America and that while
many OF them would be content
to live in France, virtually none of
them would remain.
Polish officials say all the Jews in
several towns and villages in Posen,
Poland. have departed, enroute to the
