ACT TO PROMOTE
SAFETY IN FLYING
Engineers Plan to Establish
National Chain of AirWay
Radio Stations.

The foundation for establishment Of
o national network of airway radio COM
munication stations to increase reli-
ability and safety of aerial transports
ton in the United States has been laid
at a conference Of air transport oper-
ators and communications engineers
which adjourned following q meeting
today at the Carlton Hotel
The chain is to be established upon
o cooperative basis by the air mail and
air transport companies to maintain
communication between airplaEes and
ground stations and to handle other
matters not provided for by the Fed
erai airway communications services.
Four Main Points.
The conference has begun drafting
specifications to be followed by radio
manufacturers IN producing airpiane
radio receiving and transmitting out
fits. These specifications win cover
four main points:
First. The question of power supply
for radio purposes aboard airplanes
Determination will be made Of the nee
essary amount of current to be gener-
ated aboard the plane for transmission
purposes so that standard types OF gen.
orators may be produced.
Second Acceptable types Of radio an
tenna installations for planes.
Third. Size of the complete radio
outfit and its position in the various
types Of planes.
Fourth. Type of radio control to be
Installed. The minimum number OF
controls consistent with proper opera
ton of the outfit must be provided
and it is considered likely that there
will be but one control dial, switching
from receiving" to transmitting or
to "ofr." The question of voice trans
mission or telegraph code transmission
also will be decided.
Advise on Wave Lengths.
The conference also has made de-
finite recommendations as to the radio
wave lengths to be allotted the airways
communications system by the Federal
Radio Commission and these recon-
mendationS have been submitted to the
commission for its approval.
Under the agreement reached today
a single communications station will be
established at Chicago for the use OF
all these lines and to be installed and
maintained by them jointly.
Representatives of 95 per cent of the
commercial air transport mileage Of the
country attended the conference, among
them Herbert Hoover, jr., son OF the
PTesident-elect.
At the opening session of the con-
ference yesterday the various Federal
