Richardson is never happier than
when he proves by actual field DEM

1t is easier to figure the distance

actual plane that can dart to right
or left, up or down. For that reason
the value of the robot plane in train
ing is obvious.
There are not so many of these
planes that they can be used ex-
tensively now in training. The
planes seen at San Antonio are not
| themselves to serve that purpose.
Instead, they are being used pri-
marily as testing equipment in de-
veloping the idea of pilotless ma
neuvering in the air and also for
the training of ground crews. One
OF the most difficult phases of the
| operation is to get the plane off the
air and back safely in its hangar.
Studies are being made to develop
a cheaper type of plane, although
the obsolete training planes have
! served the purpose well. Eventually
airmen visualize a cheap flying
platform" on which to place the con-
troll mechanism.

business men and industrialists
softened toward President Roose-

foreign policy, figuring that the
foreign conflict would temper
his radicalism or liberalism.
But the latest survey of senti-

that they are still antagonistic
toward the administrations fun

worries center on two questions
high federal and local taxes
and labor strife within their
companies and plants. For
these things they blame the
president, despite his recent de-
mands for economy and an end

Recent figures on the emigra-
ton of industries from New
York to New Jersey and New
England states encourage en-
ployers in the belief that the
taxation issue is at last making
an impression on popular and
