DEVICE INSPIRED
BY AIR TRAGEDIES
DR.. Jaeger Invents Small
Navigation Aid After
Death of Friends.

Grieved by the loss of two close
friends in air accidents over the Pa
cific, DR.. r. A. Jaeger, world-famous
authority on volcanoes and director of
the National Park Service vulcanology
station In Hawaii, has invented a
compact navigational instrument for
aviatorS which. he believes. might
have prevented both tragedies.
Once off the beaten sea paths and
with radio equipment failing. Dr. Jag
ger told the American Geophysical
Union meeting here today, the flyer
is at loss because the direction
finding instruments at his disposal
are inadequate or extremely compli-
Gated and the well-known methods
used by ship navigators cannot be
used.
The idea Of a simpler, more ade-
quate instrument first came to him,
he said. with the loss of Capt. Ulm,
the Australian aviator, somewhere
near the Hawaiian Islands in his at
tempted flight from California to
Australia. Last messages indicated
Capt. Ulm was down in a position
which was thoroughly searched. with
no sign Of the lost flyer. Last year
one of Capt Ulm's rubber boats drifted
ashore in place which showed the
plane must have come down hundreds
OF miles from where the search was
conducted
Warned Amelia Earhart.
Convinced that the fate Of his
friend was due to inadequate instru-
mentS, he said. he warned Amelia
Earhart before her last flight Her
failure to reach Rowland Island, he
stressed, may have been due to in
ability to locate her position definitely
enough. The new instrument which
he believes eventually may be made
sufficiently compact to be carried in

the hand, is zenith finder in combi-
nation with a star map giving the
exact positions Of many more stars
than are used by the ship navigator.
Three stars are located as nearly
overhead as possible. BY triangu-
lating these stars, whose positions at
the time the observations are taken is
known. he said. one is able to come
very close to ones actual position.
The instrument still is in a crude
form, DR.. Jaeger said, but with it he
has been able to locate his position
within approximately six miles. This
would have been sufficient, he be-
lieves, for Amelia Earhart to have To-
Gated HoWland Island.

quota, but the American consuls
in the various European cities have
laid down the restriction that each
German and Austrian applying for
a visa, have an affidavit from an
American citizen guaranteeing him
support in case he cannot find
work"
There are strict regulations in
the fatherland on the amount of
money the newcomers may bring
with them, but some of them get
around the rules in one way or
another. How? They're not telling.
When the first refugees began
to arrive. the immigration authori-
ties allowed many who had con-
verted their cash into salable arti-
cles like cameras and microscopes
to bring those things in duty-free.
But as the pressure has become
greater, they have enforced restric-
tons to the letter, though it may
mean conflscating the refugees only
means of obtaining money.
Immigration on Increase.
The American quota oil immi-
grants from Germany, which had
been 25957 year, was changed a
few months ago to 27,37O because
Germany took over Austria.
Until this last year, immigration
was considerably under that fig
ure. But in the IL months ending
June 80, 1898, 17,004 German i'm
migrants were admitted. The Aus
trian immigration during the same
period was 1854, do ,ble that of the
preceding year. And the Italian
figure was 1923, an increase of 500.
The difficulty of meeting immi-
grafton requirements has retarded
immigration to some extent. Diff
culties with government regulations
abroad also are believed to have
restricted the total.
But the State Department says
immigration from greater Germany
will exhaust the annual quota this
fiscal year, and will probably con-

NEW YORK-Some of the saddest
>people in the world are finding their
way to the heart of the gay White
Way at the end of a closs-Atlantic
trek in search of security and happi-
ness.
In the middle of the theater dis
trict is an undistinctive Office build
ing. In that building is the clearing
house for German and Italian refu-
gees.
There, 80 workers of the National
Co-ordinating Committee for Aid to

Late into the night, the staff la

relatives, jobs, places to settle. And
advises American relatives to help
their kin abroad.
Founded in the summer of 1884 by
James G.. Mcdonald, League of Ma

ganlzation, composed of 20 cooper
ating units, cares for Jewish and

At the office of the co-ordinating
committee, of which Joseph P.
Chamberlain, a Columbia University
law professor, is acting chairman,
there is bedlam. Every elevator
brings a group of German speaking
men and women up to the large wait
ing room. Newly arrived refugees
sit alongside citizens seeking to help
relatives abroad. Phones ring con-
Itantly. The man at the information
desk answers questions all day long,
speaking with heavy German &C
cent. His patient, encouraging smile
never wavers.
Money Mystery.
Most of the refugees have heard
OF the committee while still abroad.
Miss Cecilia Razovsky, executive
director of the committee, explains
~how they get there:

tinue to do so for some years to come
in view of the large demand for visas
registered in consular Offices abroad.
To date, 10 to IS per cent of the
Germans coming in are Jews, but
since the Austrian anschluss, in
March, a new group, consisting
largely of Catholics and some Prot
estants, has begun to arrive.
Skilled Labor Rare.
Ninety per cent of the Christians
now coming in are reported to be
professional people-professors, doc
tors and laWyerS-Who seek intel
lectual freedom.
The Jewish refugees have engaged
in greater variety of occupations,
since persecution has fallen on all
Jews alike. When the purge began.
most refugees were professional peo-
pie, but now the majority of incom-
ing refugees are small merchants.
So far, there have been few skilled
craftsmen among the refugees, but
with the coming of the AuStrians,
the organization feels perhaps few
European crafts and skills may be
introduced here.

difficulty in working out schedules
which will meet the approval Of La
Dor on one hand and of employers
on the other.
The matter of regional differen-
tials is giving a great deal OF
trouble, Southern employers insist
ing that they are entitled to a low
er minimum wage rate and longer
permissible hours of work than is
the North.
Another complication is the con-
tention of powerful labor leaders
that the regulations set up by the
commission must be such as to pre-
vent any reduction of wages to the
legal minimum by industries which
are now paying more than the mini
mum.
Close observers here see a revival

and his American. Federation of La

mittee of Inductrlal Organization,
over the rulings of the Commission,
whatever those may turn out to be.
