A|RL|NESL|KE NEW
SYSTEM OF RADIO
Weather and Beacon Service
Furnished by U. S. Supple
mented by "Chains."
RY MARTIN CODEL.

b1 MAn1AN NODbLs
Air transport interests are highly sat
isfied with the chain radio" systems
they are establishing by sanction of the
Federal Radio Commission to supple
ment the radio weather and beacon
services furnished along the airways by
the Department of Commerce.
They so reported at a conference here
Yesterday with the commission, at
which complete harmony among them
selves was disturbed only by new
development in the relations Of one OF
their number with the Radio Corpora
ton of America.
H. c. Leuteritz, chief radio engineer
of PAN American Always, which oper-
ates one of the chains of radio stations
along its line from Miami through the
West Indies, reported that the Radio
CORPORATION of America has forbidden
these stations from making their serv-
ices available to itinerant aircraft II
they use the chain wave lengths set
aside for that sector by the commits
sion.
Tolls Are Barred.
Pan-American Airways purchased its
ground radio station equipment from
the radio corporation, and under the
terms of its contract is prohibited from
handling traffic for toll between its sta
ton and planes operated by other COM
panieS.
AS a consequence the Curtiss-W
company, which has taXiplane service
to the West Indies, has been unable to
make arrangements with Pan-American
for radio reporting services during the
special flights its planes make to Ha-
vana and other points in the west
Indies.
Considerable sentiment. was aroused
among the airplane operators over this
situation, for it presents direct con-
fiict with the chain radio" plan they
have undertaken in cooperation with
the Federal Radio Commission.
Under this plan of operation the pri-
vate chains of stations are built and
assigned wave lengths for use by the
proprietor aviation companies, which
build and support the stations on
mutual basis The companies, however,
must agree to the condition that they
make their services available to itin-
Grant flyers as well as to their own
planes.
Important for Safety.
Since these services consist of weather
reports, diSpatching orders and mes
sageS to pilots and passengers, they are
exceedingly important for safe flying.
The aviation representatives openly ex-
pressed the feeling that the attitude OF
the radio corporation in restricting the
use of apparatus is contrary to the
spirit of the plan they have undertaken
with the assent of the commission in
their own mutual interest and In the
interest of aviation as a whole.
The situation, it is understood, OBJ
tains only on the Pan-American route,
but it is a particularly serious one
there, since most of the flying is done
over long water reaches. Practically
all the other major airways operators,
CARRYING passengers, mail and express,
have ordered their equipment from other
electrical companies which impose no

restriction on its use for toll or other
wise.
The operators of the radio chains
feel that tolls for services to occasional
users of the station services are justi-
fed because such users do not pay any
of the cost ot supporting the stations.
Other Lines Get Service.
The chains of private stations, which
supplement the weather brodacasting
and directional beacon services of the
Department of Commerce airways divi-
sion have been established or are be-
ng established by such leading lines as
TranScontinental Air Transport. Boeing
Air Transport, Western Air Express,
Universal Air Lines and Colonial Air
Lines, in addition to Pan-American Air
ways. which was the first commercial
aviation line to install two-way radio
communication between ground and

PELLEY INSISTS
 RAILWAYS LEAD
New Haven Road Head Backs
 Future Of Systems

Waterbury. Dec. 20 (UP)-Rail- roads are the backbone of the na- tion's transportation system and never will be displaced by airways, waterways or trucking, in the opin- Ion of President John J. Policy of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
 Addressing a Chamber of Con- merCe group at a dinner here last night, Policy said in part:
 The railroads now occupy tho supreme position in the transporta- ton field. That is why they do th" most business. Water transporta- ton, which originally was the only form and which was superseded by the railroads, now is making ;L bid to come back. If all the streams that once were navigable were made navigable again they could handle cnly a small part 0: the nation S transportation. Highway motor trucks are making a bid for trans portation but the average freight train handles 750 net tons and re- quires but five men to handle it.. The average truck is five tons. + would take 150 trucks and 150 men to handle the same tonnage as d train."
 Pelley said the airplane, "despite it's advances" never will be able to supersede the railroad in tr2nspor- tation importance.
 Discussing business in general, Policy predicted that business dur ing 1880 would not achieve the high level of 1929 but probably would equal 1928.
