New Altimeter
Reads Terrain By
Echoes Of Radio
instrument so Sensitive 1t
Records Passing Over
Buildings
By ROBERT SPENCER
United Press Staff Correspondent

3 SAAhSe A~SS SNoAA ~
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. -
(UP).-A newly devised "abso-
lutte" altimeter, was said by aero
nautical experts here to be the
greatest contribution TO aviation
in the past decade, after series
of tests flights in transport
plane fitted with the new safety
equipment.
The Instrument was produced
through joint efforts of United
Airlines, the Bell Laboratories
and the Western Electric COM
pany, airline officials said.
The new device registers for the
pilot at all times his exact height
above an ytype terrain. Previous
altimeterS have given only the al
titude above sea level and were
not affected by sudden, abrupt
changes in elevation.
TESTED OVER BRIDGE
Engineers demonstrated the
"magic" of the new. terrain indi-
Gator in flight over the towering
San Francisco Oakland bay bridge.
While the normal altimeter show
ed reading of 900 feet the abso-
lutte meter flashed back to read
ing of 700 feet in the fraction OF
an instant it took to pas sover the
bridge.
Building on Treasure Island, site
of the Golden Gate international
Exposition near the center OF
San Francisco bay, showed an APP
proximate height of $50 feet. AS
the laboratory ship scared over
San Francisco the new isntrument
fluttered wildly back and forth as
the plane crossed over buildings
of various heights. ,
Engineers said the new device
would greatly increase the safety
facto rim both day and night fly
ing. They said it would be espe-
cially valuable to pilots flying
over high mountain ranges in
stormy weather, or at night when
visibility was zero.
INGENIOUS RADIO DEVICE
The absolute altimeter uses the
shortest radio wave ever employed
for aviation purposes. In use, It
accurately gauges the altitude OF
the plane above the ground by the
transmission of radio signals from
the plane to the earth, and the
reflection of the signal back to a
receiving set in the plane. The
distance is automatically recorded
from measurement Of the elapsed
time between transmission of the
signal and it's reception. ~.
Herbert DeWeese, engineer in
charge of the flight tests, pointed
out that lit takes only two mil
lionths of second for the signal
to travel 1000 feet and return"
He said that the instrument
functioned perfectly to within 20
feet of the ground.
"We believe we can soon over
come the handicap of that 20
feet" he said, land when we do
we will have an invaluable aid to
blind landings - the next great
step; forward in aviation"
After an additional short period
of experimentation under various
conditions, the: new type alti-
meters will be made available to
the entire aviation industry, De-
WeeSe said. ~

Another point advanced in favor
of the parkway is the series of 26
dams between St. Louis and st.
Paul-Minneapolis. Behind each of
these dams lake will be formed,
creating an attractive recreation
al area. For the convenience of
travellers, trucks would be banned
from the highway.
AS the parkway planners envi-
sion it, the highway will surpass
in beauty and scope the Blue
Ridge parkway between Virginia
and North Carolina and the Nat

'Ickes To Promote
Canada To Cult
Highway By River
Measure Will Be introduce
ed for Project in the
Next Congress

ct LOUIS, Oct. %. uP(.--
A. 25OO-mile dream nlghWay
along the Mississippi river from
ifs source near the Canadian Dor F.
der to it's mouth in the Gull Oh
Mexico. is steadily drawing nearer
realization.
Originally conceived here a year
ago as proposed river highway
extending the width of Mississippi,
the plan developed, under the
sponsorship of the Mississippi
River parkway interstate planning
committee, to the stage OF tenta-
tive suggestions for SCENE
boulevard traversing five states
on the western bank of the river.
II became definite program
when Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes, attending a meet
ing here of governors and repre-
sentatives of the five states, APP
proved the proposal warmly
promised the cooperation OF the
national resources committee,
which he heads, and the national
park service, one of his bureaus,
and proffered his assistance in
drafting a bill, for introduction at
the next congress, to authorize the
highway.
MAY TOUCH 10 STATES
Secretary Ickes indicated that
he believed the parkway might
we'll include not only the five
states on the western side of the
river, but also the five on the east
side. ."
A possible working program is
that the first section of the high
way to be opened in 1911, the
400th anniversary of the discOv-
cry of the Mississippi.
Delegates from Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Min
nesota who attended the parkway
planning conference here propos-
ed that the highway have its
termini in Lake Itaska State
park, in Northern Minnesota, and
at the Chalmette battle-ground
National monument, below New
Orleans.
The plan of the parkway COM
mittee is that the route follow a
course best suited for topography,
scenery and other conditions, and
possibly swing from one side Of
the stream to the other. The COM
mittee hopes to obtain a right-of-
way averaging $50 acres a mile,
or an average width of 1887 feet
mile. The l'ight-of-way might
be narrowed or expanded TO fit
conditions and might even follow
existing highways for short sec
tions.
COST NOT YET ESTIMATED
No estimate of the cost has been
made. he parkway committee
hopes that much Of the right-of-
way, which would be supplied by
the states involved, will be donat-
ed or can be leased from farmers.
The federal government would be
expected to build and maintain
the parkway. 1t was estimated the
federal investment might total
$60,000,000. s;@s
Sponsors of the parkway point
out that the parkway will comply
with three essential requirements
of the department iof interior:
scenic interest, historic back
ground, and accessibility to popu-
lation. The river states involved
have one-fourth of the nations in

Unless some of the outsiders"
flash unexpected form in the next
couple of days, it appears. that the
Gath running of the Kentucky

While the mile and a quarter
three-vear-old classic only 10 days

"big four" composed of Stage,
hand, Bull Lea, Fighting Fox and
Dauber. After that quartet, the
only other probable starters seem
to be Menow (doubtfuO; Nedayr;
Bourbon King; Lawrin The Chief;
Gov. Chandler: Mountain Ridge;
Red Breast and a handful of out
siders who might start just for the
glory of it. -,
The probable list, which has
been pounded rather heavily in re-
cent days, suffered another severe

Mars had withdrew all her candl-
dates but Mountain Ridge. The
Withdrawals were Tiger, second

Farrell and C-Note, all of which
failed to train to expectations.
The dozen probables are scat
tered between New York and Ken

one more race before the derby

eide whether or not they Will start

Stagehand, winner of the rich
Santa Anita handicap and the
Santa Anita derby, already IS
working out in Kentucky. Thus
far Stagehand, owned by Maxwell
Howard, hasn't shown much IN

trainer Earle Sande is bringing
him along slowly. Stagehand is a
2h favorite in the winter books.
Other candidates in Kentucky
are Bull Lea, Dauber, Menow,
Lawrin, The Chief, Gov. Chandler
and Mountain Ridge. Bull Lea,

Joe Louis Meets
Schmeling, June
2 AT New York

NEW YORK, April 81. (UP)-
Promoter Mike Jacobs yesterday
announced Yankee Stadium, New
York, as the site for the $1,000
900 Louis-Schmeling fight on June
%, after yielding to pressure from
the State Boxing commission and
owners of the Stadium and Polo
Grounds
He said the bout would be held
at the stadium, "unleSS develop
ments unforeseen at this time arise
TO necessitate shift in the site"
This "out" was inserted to protect
the match from possible anti
Nazi boycott.
Jacobs made his selection after
weeks of accommodating during
which Chicago, Detroit and Phila-
delphia were considered seriously
as possible sites.
TIE predicted gross gate of at
least $1,000,000 and crowd of
at least $4,000. He said the sta
dunn could be arranged to seat
10000 if necessary for the bout,
which he rates "the greatest heavy
weight natural since the second
Tunney-Dempsey fight at Chicago
in 1927" Prices will range from
the $3.50 bleachers to $50 ring
sides, including taxes.
Jacobs regretted the disappoint-
ment the selection must cause of
ficialS and business men of Chica-
go. Detroit and Philadelphia, but
he hoped that one of those cities
might be the site for September
title bout between the June 22nd
winner and Make Baer.
He was confident September
title tilt will be staged.
