SPEND MILLIONS TO
CUT AIR ACCIDENTS
Government Takes Cognizance
of Recent Disasters.

Washington, D. c. - Taking cog
nizance of the four recent air line
accidents in which twenty-one per-
sons were killed, the Department of
Commerce announced that 10 mill
lion dollars would be spent on mod
ernization of its safety equipment
during the next two years.
j. Monroe Johnson, assistant Sec
rotary of commerce, revealed that
the bureau of the budget had al
ready approved additional expendi-
lures for the next fiscal year. The
modNnization program would be
in addition to the normal functions
of the bureau of air commerce,
which spent 6la million dollars dur
ing the last year, Johnson said.
Asked about the new moderniza-
ton program Johnson said there
were 300 items ranging from $4,000
to S175,000 for improvements and
the installation of new equipment.
The main improvement in air line
operations, however, would be the
introduction of the radio compass,
according to Johnson. He claimed
that the four recent accidents might
have been avoided had the planes
contained radio compasSes that
would function properly.
Johnson said the compass had not
yet been developed to perfection.
One of them, Bendix product, was
tested in a Lockheed Elektra plane
at Washington and sent back to the
factory for further adjustments.
This compass, consisting of ball
of coils, was encaSed in mica to
protect it from ice and sleet, and
attached to the belly of the plane.
In the plane of the future, accord
ing to Commerce department eX-
pertS, the pilot will turn on the
receiving set and move the station
selector to the frequency of the sta
ton he desires to pick up.
The pilot will tune in on his sta
ton until the maximum volume is
reached, and from that time on he
merely watches a needle on his in
strument board which is pointed to
zero If the plane veers to either
side the needle will move accord
ingly to show the airman his ship is
wandering from its course.
The airman's course will lead di-
rectly to the radio station, and from
there he will orient himself with re-
Spect to the local landing field.
