believe that. The primary requisites in fighting planes are speed and maneuvering-ability. These little ships must be able to twist and turn sharply and suddenly, to follow the enemy's zigzagging. or to avoid his sudden rush from behind cloudbank. They must be highly maneuverable.
 This means that the controls must be sensitive to an extreme degree. When a pursuit pilot in battle ele. yates his ailerons or other controls he wants immediate response. It is this sensitiveness and extreme flexi- bility. McCook field officers say. that makes the pursuit plane unsafe and treacherous in the hands of an inexperienced pilot. More than one death may be attributed to the fact that the pilots experience had been almost wholly on slow" ships, and had not developed the delicacy of touch necessary to pilot- ing one of the finger pressure" planes.

RADIO FANS HIT
 AT AIR PIRATES
This Walk-Out Turns Into a
 Tune-Out

Chicago. Sept. 30 P-A strike that does not have the pickets or the other embellishments considered proper in such matters continues in effect in Chicago. It has been run ming since the department of con- merce al Washington announced that the radio law of 1912 did not permit It's control of broadcasting.
 Walk out" a "Tune-out."
 Tho "walk-out" really is one in name only, for the striker stays at home and refuses to listen. That is, he turns deaf ear to those broad casting stations he considers "un- fair" to his interests.
 Backing the move is the Broadcast Listeners association, through whose eHorts a previous strike for a gen. eral silent night" in the Chicaro area was successfully conducted. Be ! lore this walkout only part of the local stations adhered to a gentle mans agreement" to remain off tbe ar each Monday night so that re- celVer owners could grope for dis tance.
 National Effect.
 The associations latest drive Is di- rected against what it terms as "air pirates and wave jumpers" It con- tends that new broadcast transmit tefs Which come on the air in it's present crowded condition and those "hlch select wave-lengths other than those 10 which they originally were assigned by the department of com merce are unfair" and urges it's members to pass them over when they are turning their dials.
 In addition to affecting Chicaeo stations, the association has stated that its movement is nationwide and that listeners all over the coun- try are Joining in the effort to keep the air free of congestion. The B. l.. A. also Is taking upon itself the task of warning stations which stray about on the air, advising them that their listeners will decrease in num- Der as a result.
 Response 10 the strike has been large. the association officials said today, adding that the drive will be continued until more stable condi- tions prevail, or until congress en- acts law governing the situation.
