STOCKS HOLD FIRM
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Leaders Register Slight Up
turn as Short Interest Cow
erS Commitments.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, August 2-Disgustec
with the cranky stock market, traders
all but ignored it today, and share
prices reflected little but the closing
out of short contracts by bear traders
anxious to be clear of commitments
over Sunday.
A better tone in the utility shares,
which were under considerable bear
pressure yesterday, was an encourage
ment to such spectators for the rise
as bothered to look at the ticker tape.
Leading shares both in that group and
in the industrials, worked point or
% higher.
Traders could not find a clue in the
conflicting and uncertain week end
trade and business reports on which
20 base operations Even the mercan-
title services were. in disagreement.
Dun'S reported some improvement in
retail distribution, but BradStreet'S said
its reports indicated that both whole
sale and retail trade were quieter.
News from the motor industry was
O little more cheerful. Walter P.
Chrysler issued a statement expressing
the belief that the turn for the better
had appeared. On Monday, several
plants, including those of Ford, which
had been shut down for two or three
weeks, are scheduled to resume opera
tions. Estimates Of steel mill activity
for the next week do not indicate any
considerable acceleration, but at least
there is no suggestion of further recess
sion.
There is no money market on Sat
urday to give an indication of credit
trends. but the monthly survey of the
New York Federal Reserve Bank made
its appearance and indicated contin-
nance of satisfactory conditions in both
credit and banking. An investigation
of l1S country banks in this district
failed to bear cut rumorS that such
banks have been carrying a serious
volume of frozen loans. OF this num-
Der, 90 had either no loans UNDER
collateraled, or a negligible amount:
only had from to IL per cent OF
their loans lacking in adequate COL
lateral.
such shares as U. S. Steel, United
Corporation, American Can, American
Water Works, American Telephone,
Electric Power & Light. North Amer1-
can, Radio, General Electric, Air Re
duction and National Biscuit gained
point or so, while Consolidated Gas,
soft spot yesterday, rallied 2. Inger-
soil Rand, Union Pacific and Auburn
Auto mounted to 5. On the other
hand, U. S. Industrial Alcohol, Sears
Roebuck, American Tobacco, Houston
Oil and Byers lost a point or two.
Warner Bros. duplicated the years low
at 351z, then rallied little.
Total sales were. approximately $780,
900 shares. The closing tone was hrnl.

The aural type beacons now in service

The aural type beacons now in service
warn pilots through earphones whether
they are on the course laid down by the
beacon, or, if off course, to which side
and approximately the degree of error
The visual type beacon was conceived
by the Aeronautics Branch nearly three
years ago as a more promising aid to
air navigation than the aural type. It
Is the result of nearly three years of re-
search, laboratory experiments and
flight tests carried on by the branch.
The signals from the visual type radio
range beacon are received on the plane
by a radio receiver which operates a
reed indicator contained in a small box
on the instrument board. In the box
are two thin strips Of metal known as
reeds" which are mounted side by
side and actuated by the radio signals
received. The tips Of the reeds are
white and are mounted so as to be vis-
ible to the pilot. When actuated by
the beacon signals the reeds vibrate, the
white tips forming what appear to be
two broad white vertical ribbons. When
the white lines are equal in length the
plane is on the course. Deviation to the
left increases the length of the left
reed, shortens the vibration of the right
reed. When the right reed Is longer
than the left the plane is to the right
Of the course.
The Department Of Commerce Is
working on further developments Of the
radio range beacon which may greatly
Increase the usefulness of the system
to all pilots. At present the beacon
rays may be used only along the course
upon which they are directed Expert
ments now nearing completion may
make it possible to fly predetermined
course at any angle to the beacon
course, making the beacon useful in all
directions.

have been constructed and installed on
generator test stands at the stations
and are proving valuable in eliminating
induction from the motors when testing
receivers with engine-driven generator
current supply. A compass loop COUP
ling unit was built and tested in the
laboratory with small rotating loop.
Results were so satisfactory that this
type of receiver may be adapted for
use with a small retractable loop and
installed on Navy patrol planes
The station also has been conducting
experimental work with small weather
maps which are kept up to the minute
to supply information concerning cur
rent flying weather along the coast and
the heavily travelled routes into the
Middle West.

Universal joints should be checked

also be carefully watched.
Both the transmission and differen-

Paul Edward CARRIER, in charge of
the aeronautics collections of the
Smithsonian Institution, who Is nation
ally recognized as an authority on avi-
alton history, began a series of four
lectures on this subject at Catholic

Busy Days at AnacOStia.
Navy test pilots at the Anacostia
Naval Air Station, where all Navy flight
test work has been concentrated, have
put in some busy days lately. In CO.
operation with the Navy Medical De-
partment they have put in quite bit
of time studying the hazards of monox-
ide gas poisoning from engine exhaust
fumes which may be sucked into air.
plane cockpitS. Monoxide poisoning has
been held responsible, or, at least,
major contributing factor, for the fatal
crash of Capt. Arthur Page, U. S. M. c.,
during the Thompson Trophy race at
Chicago last Labor day.
The accurate determination of air
plane landing speeds has been one of
the difficult problems encountered by
test pilots at the local station. Lieut..
Frederick M. Trapnell, one of the test
pilots at the local station, who is famous
as member of the star acrobatic sec
ton, THE Three Flying Fish" has in
vented method of his own for dealing
with the problem and tests now are in
progress.
Trapnell uses highly sensitive air.
speed indicator of which a continuous
Photographic record is made by a small
motion-picture recording apparatus. A
number Of test flights with the device
have been made and the results are
being studied and calibrated to deter
mine the accuracy of this method.
Pilots at the station also have been
working with variable pitch propeller
which can be adjusted from the air
plane cockpit for maximum efficiency
IN taking of and climbing and for level
flight. Various types of variable pitch
propellers have been produced for ex-
perlmental purposes. Development of q
propeller which will meet all REQUIRE
ments Is held to be one of the pressing
demands of modern aviation.
The stations radio laboratory crew
has completed development work on a
crystal-controlled high-frequency trans
mltter for fighting planes. Construction
OF model suitable for fight testing Is
being completed. Several receiver CIR
cults have been tested to obtain auto
matte volume control and prevent
blocking from nearby transmitter.
Installation of radio equipment in
the stations transport planes has been
commenced and radio communication
will be maintained in the future on
