Solons Told
Air Transport
Safety Needs

WASHINGTON. Feb. ~. UP)
A Senate commerce sub-com
mittee investigating air safety
Monday heard charges htat the
bureau of air commerce had beer
forced to econimize to such ar
extent that it endangered the ma.
tion's air service.
Thomas w. Tomlinson, flight
engineer Of TrancontintentaI
Western Air, Inc, told the com.
mittee members that the major
faults of safety devices were (1l
insufficient equipment; (2) lack
of experienced personnel; (3)
necessity for duplicate radio
equipment at major airports, and
(i) need of weather forecasts
made from planes
Sen. Hiram Johnson, R., Calf,
asked if these weaknesses might
cause loss of life and accidents.
Tomplinson replied, eyes, they
all could very easily"
Tomlinson cited cases where
unframed farmers and trappers
were used by the Burea uof Air
Commerce to gather weather in
formation. He said forecasts were
sometimes mot dependable" and
that the reSon was too much eco
nomv. He said safety beacons had
been cut from 1000 watts to 500
and that repairs were not made
rapidly.
The former navy "hell diver"
told of two times when he had
tried to contact the radio beam
sent out by the bureau and had
found it out. He added, Luckily,
tho weather was good"
Carl Dolan, vice-president of
Intcrcontincnt Corp, told commit
tee members that the Bureau Of
Air Commences own personnel at
Newark airport which handled the
largest volume Of air commerce in
the country failed to comply with
its own regulations.
Doland charges that the bureau
gave up its system of checking
compliance with regulations be-
cause the results were "too con-
demniag."
He said that the commerce de-
partment's bureau of air COM
merce failed to anaylze reports of
mechanical defects which led to
accidents and following the adage,
"when in doubt. blame an acci-
dent on the weather." He said 80
per cent of the accidents today
were blamed on weather or per-
SOnnel.
During the past fiscal year, Do
Ian said airmail operators had lost
$4,OOO,0OO or approximately 7.9
cents per mile. Only five routes
out of 33 showed profit, he
claimed.

EN- ROUTE TO BERLIN, July %
UP)-Today was the last day at SCI
for Uncle Sans Olympic athletes.
Late this afternoon the Manhat-
tan will pass CuXhaven. Germany.
and start the voyage up the river
Elbe to Hamburg.
The ship will dock around mid
night but the athletes will remain
aboard until tomorrow morning.
All the athletes We're anxious to
get to Berlin and start training
Some Of them were so impatient to
run again on the ground that yes
terday, while the Manhattan was
docked at Havre. France. they went
ashore and logged up and down the
docks.
Among those who worked out
were Glenn Cunningham. 1900 met
er star; Don Lash, University OF
Indiana distance runner an d
Charles Hornbo5tel, 80O-meter run
ner.
After leaving Havre, Avery Brun-
dage. president of the American
Olympic committee, gave the ath
letes a pat ON the back for their
excellent conduct since his general
crack down" on Saturday.
He pointed out that the commit
tee had heard of only one specific
report of misconduct. He said that
all athletes were Warned-although
few were guilty of drinking, smok-
ing and late hours.
Upon completion of what we
consider the most satisfactory Olym
pic voyage ever undertaken, the
committee desires to correct any eX
isting misrepresentation about the
conduct and morale Of our athletes
Brundage said
The committee believes our sup
porters have the right to know that
the athletes have justified all con
fidence placed in hem. The Gle
pertinent and spirit of the team.
with but a few exceptions, has been
admirable throughout the entire
voyage"
Brundage refused to confirm the
lone violator who was reported to
the committee for staying up all of
one night and drinking.
