Motor Vehicle C Commissions CT Suggests Posting of Officers in Civilian At.

Hartford, Feb. 14-The substitu- tion of plain clothes" policemen for uniformed men in the watch now maintained flor city traffic law viola tions is suggested by Commissioner of.A Motor Vehicles Robbins E. Stoeckel as a means of increasing respect for anv. observance of the rules surrounding the use of traffic lights and regulations. His sugges- ton. which does not affect those po- licemen engaged in directing traffic. is made in the monthly bulletin of the state motor vehicle department.

 "It will be arghcd." he says. that it is unfair to motorist to have q plain clothes man watching him. It is sort of sncaky idea anyway. and no one likes 10 feel that a detective maysbe watching him expecting him to commit an inadvertcnce. But how can tho principle of govern ment through moral sMasion be bet ter served in connection with traffic signals than 10 leave them unguar- dcd by uniformed policemen and have. for time at least, plain clothes person watch. and discipline offenders.
 "The acme Of performance which must be attained before traffic runs safely and well includes the carrying out of well known rules and regult- tions by the persons involved wheth- cr or not there is a policeman watching. And yet, with all Of our emergencies and all Of our advanced ideas and understanding, and we rate ourselves the most intelligent nation in the world, it is still neces- sary to have a policeman watch al most every corner. even though au- tomatic traffic direction is supplied.

Dayton, Ohio, Feb. IT R-The untiring hands of the earth's mag netism are to hold trans-oceanic airLIanes of the future to their cVhrses.
 Within a few years the human element in the navigation of planes - with it's susceptibility to fatigue - is to be replaced by devices har- messed to earth induction com passes.
 The army has assigned Lieut.. Albert F. Hegenberger of Hawaiian flight fame to experiments along that line at Wright field. Hegcn- berger was the navigator for Lieut.. Lester J. Maitland on the first flight between California and Ha- Waii.
 The navigation of that 2.4o0-mil' flight 10 a small group Of islands mere dots in the pacific-as,ounl cd the aviation world almost as much as did Col. Charles Lind l,rgh's remarkable trip from New York to Paris.
 To aid him Iichrngorgrr has { lis disposal the instrument boards from the spirit Of St. Louis. Iindbcrgh's plarc. and from the co. the ship Maitland and lIcg"n- berger flew 10 Hawaii.
 Tt will not le many years" said li"genbcrSer. "heforn trans- -oceani" planes will be equipped with de- vices haruessed to the earth induc- ton compass. which will keep the plane directly on it's course at all times. IL merely will be necessary for the navigator 10 read his maps set his compass 10 d certain posi- ton and fly for hundreds Of miles before again changing the compass position for another chang" in di r. ction"
 Lieutenant 1Icgenborgcr regards the trans Pacific flight Of Capt. Charles kingstord- Smith and his two American companions from California 10 Australia in tho southern Cross as the "greatcst flight of them all" from the stand point of navigation.
