attempt would be made to have
WJMB function as a Statewide

ARM PLANE PILOTS TO
FIGHT PIRATES OF AIR
New Menance Is Being Met by
British Airway.


British Airway.
BIZ United Press
LONDON, Aug. 11.-Piracy on
the high seas and highway robbery
are now things of the past and air.
pirates are the danger of today.
To meet this new menace the
pilots of bullion carrying aircraft
of the British Imperial Always
Limited, are being armed with re-
volvers.
Ostensibly the idea is that in the
event of a forced landing away
from a recognized aerodrome among
INSCRIPTIONS people, the pilot and
crew must be able to protect them
selves.
There is, however, the fear that a
thieves gang learning of the ship
ment OF many millions of dollars in
bullion, might endeavor to raid the
plane, either by a battle in the air
or by causing the bullion-carrying
machine to make false landing.
