SAFETY IN AIR TRAVEL
IMPROVES FOURFOLD
Actuarial Society Committee Finds
Hazards for Pilots Far Ex-
coed Those of Passengers.

BY the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, July 8-Air-
way travel is more than four times as
safe as it was. three years ago. ac-
cording to the Committee on Aviation
Of the Actuarial Society Of America.
The committees third annual re-
port stated that during 1880 the chance
of death among passengers in planes
on scheduled flights was one in $1,000.
In 1929 it was one in 10000 and in
1928 one in 1000.
- The improvement Is attributed to
close supervision exercised over such
flying by the aeronautics branch OF
the Department of Commerce, to ex-
tension of radio beacon service and
weather information, to close coop
Grafton Of operating companies, and to
excellence of American aircraft and
engines.
Pilots, the report states, lead far
more hazardous life than passengers;
the mortality rate among holders of
transport licenses, the highest type
issued, being "a per thousand. When
these were subdivided into groups with
varying hazard no group Of CONNER
cial pilots was found by the commit
tee in which the mortality rate was
lower than 10 per thousand.

Post expected to 60 after the trans

About two years ago, Hall says, Post

tically every opportunity. And he
finally won over the man for whom he
worked internationally the last three or
more years.

Post was working at the Lockheed

up for Pacific flight by Harold Brom-

Bromley navigation. The former had
dipped deeply into navigation ct the

naval officer now at Annapolis instruct
ing in navigsticn.
Gatty Flew With Bromley.
Eleven years in the British merchant
and naval service also were chalked to
the credit side of his navigation
ledger.
When Bromley took off last Summer
from Japan on a nonstop flight to
America, Gatty rode with him as navi-
gator and successfully charted a re-
turn to land when they were forced
back from about 200 miles out on
account of a broken exhaust valve.
In taciturnity the pilot and the navi-
gator Of the WondrouS Winnie Mae
register about the same, with Gatty
probably having bit the edge. When
questions are fired at them by inquisi-
tive reporters they look at each other
and shyly smile, each giving the i'm
preston that the other should do the
talking.
Partners in Reticence.
II Post finally yields to the plea
peeping from Gattys clear blue eyes,
he takes up the conversation gauntlet
for the man he terms his good pail
But not for long.
Soon Gatty gets his cue with d Now
my pal can tell you about that" or
words to that effect.
Each man listens closely to the other,
and the observer often detects mods
OF encouragement from the partner in
reticence.
Each Keeps TO Own Task.
Post just could not understand why
the slender Australian had to hang so
fondly over his books in preparation
for their fame-croWned cruise. If /
was doing that end of it, I'd OF had
those figures all memorized by now,
he once said jokingly.
Gatty smiled, leafing through the
thousand-odd pages of tables, loga-
rithms and charts to reply: Fellow, you
III do this end. You know we want to
take that round-the- world record from
the balloons"
Then the rugged Wiley gave the back
OF the scholarly Harold a virile, good
natured whack that must have shaken
him to his shoes.
Whether Post and Gatty ever talked
over all the details has been generally
told. They never duplicated each others
enorts, nor did they ever seemingly dis
cuss what they intended to do.
Both Ranked High by Flyers.
Somehow, these two "5-foot-5-ers" in
height have the knack of understanding
each other. They seem to like about
the same things, both love their home
flresides, when adventure in the skies
Is not knocking at the door. The 28-
year-old Gatty has three boys with
when he likes to romp of an evening
and the 32-year Post has an avia-
tion-thinking wife with whom he loves
to fly.
Both have won golden opinion from
plane experts. No less a commentator
than Col. Charles Lindbergh says that
Gatty, who gave Mrs. Lindbergh les
sons in navigation. "is one of the
greatest navigators in the world"
That's how Post feels, too. about his
aide OF the air. And to every ecomium
for Post as pilot comes the Aus
tralian's amen"
