insistent and uncompromising and ap-
pears during every movement. A song
Of consolation, played by the solo horn,
features the second movement. The
third movement, mostly written in the
Phrygian scale, is an orgy of unholy
Joy in which a beautiful vision of
pastoral life is given by duet for oboe
and flute which is interrupted b. re-
turn to the Tolstoy motto theme, the
movement eliminating in stretto of wild
fury. The final movement opens with
the Tolstoy motive, but this time in the
major key of E and after the de-
velopment of the various themes used
throughout the work, is brought to
massive coda wherein the church choral
is submerged by an apotheosis of the

RADIO OVERCOMES
FOG At HADLEy
Pilot Webster Makes Safe
Landing, Receiving Instruc-
tons From Crew Chief.

Guided by radio through binding
fog, Pilot Jack Webster, on the Ma
tional Air Transport division Of the
transcontinental air mail route, was
able to make perfect landing on Had
lev Field, Eastern terminus of the route,
a few days ago, under conditions iden-
tical with those which recently forced
him to resort to his parachute to save
his life.
Webster was flying section Of the
night transcontinental eastward and
left Cleveland at 3:15 O'Clock in the
morning. Hadley Field at that time
reported unlimited ceiling, but with In
dications of ground fog likely to form.
Determined to Reach HadIey.
The weather began to close in at
Hadley and other fields within safe dis
lance OF Websters course. The fog rolled
in so fast that reports were broadcast
every IS minutes. At 6:45 am. the CELL
ing was down to only $50 feet at Had
lev. while at Philadelphia and Hart
ford the fields were completely closed
in. Webster forged along, determined
to reach Hadley.
The 350-foot ceiling presented serious

only four miles from the field, are 800
feet, high. There are Is commercial
radio towers Of considerable height in
various directions from the airport, con-
shutting dangerous hazards to fog
blinded pilot.
Webster was forced to depend on his
instruments and directional and voice
radio, as the fog had closed in behind
him and Hadley was the only chance
for a safe landing. AS he passed over
Hadley Field John McVeigh, crew chief
on duty ut the field, heard the motor
and radioed to Webster the position of
his plane in relation to the field. Nc
Weigh also kept Webster informed Of
weather conditions close to the ground.
Makes Safe Landing.
Back and forth over the field Web
ster few In the smother of fog, receiv-
ing a stream of reports and advice from
the crew chief below. Finally McVeigh
reported conditions favorable for q
landing and guided the pilot by radio
and the sound of his motor until he
broke through the low fog ceiling. The
ship landed and the mail was turned
over to postal employees almost on
schedule.
Had Webster's plane not been equip
ped with radio he probably would have
been forced down long before reaching
Hadley. The plane he used was N. A. T.
Douglas, No. 80, rebuilt after he was
forced to resort to his parachute O few
months ago when he was caught In the
fog without radio.

AIR MAIL LINES IN SOUTH HELP

RELEASE Invented
FOR TRAPPED FLYERS
Contraption to Expedite Parachute
Jumps Is Invented at
Brooks Field.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Cp.-A detach-
able trap floor, to be released in event
of certain emergencies in mid-air. has
been invented at Brooks field to de-
crease fatalities among cabin plane
passengers.
On the theory that many passengers
are needlessly killed due to inability to
clear themselves from plunging planes,
Jasper A. Gillian, foreman OF the
Brooks Field paint shop, has devised
this contraption to expedite parachute
jumps.
Gillian has observed that passengers
frequently have become too paralyzed
with fear to use parachutes on discov-
ering their plane diving earthwaro.
Likewise, he claims, lives often are lost
when parachutes Of passengers and
pilots become entangled with some part
of q nose-diving or tail-spinning plane.
II Gilliam's trap floor is adopted IL
would be possible for the pilot to de-
tach the ships floor by pulling lever
at his elbow. This would operate wires
that in turn would pull out bolts sup
porting the flooring.
Automatically controlled springs then
would force the flooring a safe distance
from the endangered plane, Gillian
says, avoiding dangers that might
otherwise occur.
Gillian believes his device would
lessen hazards Of air travel by facili-
tating passengers escape by parachutes
whenever q plane becomes unmanage-
able.
