Of 20 Douglas Sleeper transport air
planes ordered by American Airlines
are progressing favorably at Santa
Monica, Calf. These 12-ton airliners
are to 60 into service beginning in the
Spring on the major routes Of Ameri-
can Airlines. one of which passes
through Washington.
Tests Of the new DIST, largest land
transport airplane produced In the
United States, are q demonstration Of
the surprising accuracy of aircraft
design today. Soon after the drawing
of designs for the big transport began,
the builder guaranteed that the speed
Of the finished airplane would be
within S miles per hour of the speed
specified by American Airlines. This
allowed for margin of error of only
about az per cent. The tests show
that the tiny margin the designer
allowed himself was ample. Other
performance characteristics were fig
ured within about as close a margin
long before the ship came out of the
paper stage.
Take-off and landing tests Of the big
plane first were flown and we're fol-
lowed by elementary air maneuvers
and preliminary checking Of flight
characteristics. Weight tests then
were conducted and these are being
followed by speed. climb and altitude
tests. Single-engine take-offs and
climb tests remain to be made.
The new Douglas will be the most
luxurious now in operation on the do

weight. $4,000 pounds, is two and one
half tons greater than that of the

situation at the New York automobile

tel guests. I recall one important pre-.
view that was announced as strictly

very much Of a ladies' day. Women

Of feminine appeal in the new models.
Drivers do tend to press on the
pedals rather frantically when losing
their heads in an emergency, but the
situation isn't half as bad as 1t has
been painted. It is not likely, for
instance, that any driver would speed
up because, should she press on the
accelerator. she would also press on
the clutch pedal. This would release
the engine and prevent it from i'm
parting further speed to the car. In
stinctively, however, most drivers press
on the brake pedal. It is unfortunate
that they also instinctively press on
the clutch pedal, but most braking
systems today are entirely capable of
stopping the car promptly. with or
withou. compression braking from the
engine.
Reading about the safety features
Of the latest cars always should be a
tip to watch out for dangers in the
car you now drive. Note that when
the cover Of the luggage compartment
Is raised up one OF the 1886 models
has a tail light that still flashes red
to drivers coming down the road.
When some cars have the compart-
ment cover raised the tail light isn't
visible from behind. The risk Of taking
chances standing behind such a car
at nigh is obvious.
Does it annoy you to have to unlock
the gas cap whenever stopping for
fuel? And do you feel that some
way Of preventing loss Of gas is
necessary? If so. then you'll be inter

MORE OF THE SAME FROM
COMMUNIST HEADQUARTERS

Communists of California, as predict
ed here last week, are making a Roman
holiday out of the current controversy
over radio broadcast. Blatantly, they
are seeking every means at their disposal
to get into the newspapers, and unfor-
unately they are succeeding. They would
not be doing so if Esco L. Richardson
had not been attacked by mob here
when he attempted to make a radio
speech last week.
The latest blast at the time this is
written is another injunction suit to pre-
vent almost everybody in Imperial cour-
ty from interfering with plans for an
other broadcast.
The most sensible suggestion yet
heard was that those opposed to Com
munism and its dissemination in Impe-
rial Valley choose a group of about so
men, identify them by some distinguish
ing mark and send them out to meet
the Communists should they come to
the valley to attempt another talk The
group would greet the unwanted guests
politely, explaining the reason for the
delegation, and stay with them during
their visit here. then would see them to
the train, the bus or their cars, escort
them to the county line, and leave them
The Communists would talk, to be
sure, but we are certain their words
would fall on barren ground. They
would have nothing to wall about after
leaving the valley. Their guns would
have been neatly spiked-and their am
munition used against them. They
would be, in fact, ridiculous.
Ridicule is a stronger weapon than
violence.

PROPOSITION NO. 2I,
PENAL INSTITUTIONS
FOR WOMEN

Senate constitutional amendment No.
21, or Proposition No. q on the ballot
for next Tuesday, would, in short auth
orize the state legislature to appoint a
separate prison board, probably COM
posed of women, to administer affairs
of the Tehachapi women's prison
and any other women's prisons which
might in the future be constructed.
Womens organizations of California,
almost without single exception, are
supporting the amendment Aside from
their interest, the proposition has eX-
cited little comment There is no organ
lied opposition.
In its favor is the argument that wom-
en- prisoners segregated in separate prls-
ons, need treatment different from that
given men if they are to be returned to
society as good citizens. Only group
of women experienced in such matters
can properly give such supervision,
since only women can understand the
complex emotional reactions of other
women, and meet them as they should
be met.
Against the amendment is the argu-
ment that it would create another board,
adding, however scantily, to government
expense.
This newspaper has no recommends
ton on Proposition No. q, but presents
the arguments for and against SO its
readers may decide for themselves.
