Cunningham added that the first
station is now being installed at
Salt Lake City. United Airlines ex-
poets to install about 20 to serve its
entire system from coast to coast.
Finding directions by radio is not
a new science. It was known in
1912 when radio was still in it's in
fancy and was used at sea during
the World war of 1914-1918. Pan
American Anyways engineers subse-
quently developed long range di-
rection finding receiver. This re-
ceiver gave fairly satisfactory re-
suits over water where radio signals
are more effective than land.
Unsatisfactory results were OBJ
tanned about 1885 when the Pan
American system was tried out over
land. Since then an antenna system
that would operate over land has
been sought by a number of radio
manufacturers, the army and the
navy.
Accurate results up to 80 per cent
of the time were attained by num-
Der of systems, but this was not
considered sufficiently safe for use
with passenger carrying planes.
Static interference was the funda-
mental cause of trouble with most
of these direction finding receivers.
1t spoils signals and gives inaccu-
rate nulls. Because United's device
produces visual charts it is possible
to weed out the bad bearings.
The army and navy are deeply
interested in the receiver. It has
been offered to other airlines in the
United States.

Lo,U-Income Families
Use Housing Projects

WASHINGTON. - Nearly half of
the families who live in the low
rent housing projects of the United
States Housing authority have in
comes of $3.50 day or less.
For these families that $3.50 or
less-the price of decent hotel
room to most Americans-mus COW
er the daily cost of food, rent,
clothes, and all the other things it
takes to live. In some cases that
daily income averages out to little
more than a dollar.
A survey of the incomes of more
than $4,000 tenant families released
by UST1A shows that 47.8 per cent
earn less than 1899 a year. In the
case of 2.6 per cent of the families
the annual income is actually I'M
der $500. E...
Only z per cent of the families
with many mouths to feed and in
areas of unusually high living costs
have incomes of as much as $500
a month, according to USHA Adj
ministrator Nathan StrauS.

"Octane rating motor fuels of 100

use, and these products may be uti-

years." DR.. Hamor predicted. Gin

ed which will compensate for the
drop in pressure at high attitudes"
According to DR.. Hamor, research
indicates that in pure hydrocarbon
fuels the longer the straight chain
part of the molecule, the less the
antiknock tendency of the COM
pound. Hydrocarbons whose octane
ratings are at least 125 are often
thought of as the ultimate in motor
fuel possibilities.
cit has been commended, however,
that the only value of the octane
number is for control and investiga-
tional purposes-that gasoline quail

CHICAGO.-Predicting that 1000

state legislatures to meet in 1941,
Mrs. Melville Mucklestone, presi-

membership that mo fewer than H.
900 will be tax bills"
She added that eff the lawmakers
run true to form they will enact in
to law more than 1900 of the tax
bills, or an average of 43 per state"
The forecast was based on a study
Just completed by the organizations

while many of the laws will be
amendments to existing laws" her
message stated, land others will be
new and necessary financial meas

The legislative study was based
on survey of bills presented in the
18 legislative bodies which met in
1889 During these sessions an av-
erage OF 1895 bills were introduced
in each, of which 251 were tax bills"

New Automatic Direction Finding Device
Determines Position of Airplane in Flight
By WILLIAM KELLER
eleased by Western Newspaper UnionO

Released by Western Newspaper Union)
CHICAGO. - The danger of
commercial aircraft becoming
lost because of inclement wealth
er or faulty navigation has been
practically eliminated by a rev.
dictionary new invention. Loca-
ton of a plane in flight is auto
matically recorded at ground
stations by an automatic direc-
ton finding radio receiver de-
veloped by radio technicians
under ]. P. Cunningham, United
Air Lines director of communi-
cations.
Four years of study and ex-
Fermentation were conducted
under Cunningham and San
dretto, head of the company's
radio laboratory, before the
direction finder reached its
present stage of perfection.
An amazing degree of accuracy
has been obtained by the device.
Cunningham reports that tests con-
Quoted over a period of more than
year reveal that better than SO per
cent of the bearings made by the
new receiver proved to be accurate.
Entirely automatic, the receiver
r
ance from the plane in flight. 1t is
described as remarkably simple in
operation.
Each time that a plane in flight
makes its routine half-hour position
reports, the receiver acts on the
radio waves. Large antenna that
form the heart of the instrument
pick up these waves. This antenna
is constantly being rotated by
motor.
Electric waves picked up by the
antenna are transferred to stand
ard radio receiver which amplifes
it into energy. This energy oper-
ates moving pen which draws a
line on scroll chart that constantly
unrolls beneath it. The pen traces
the form of the wave in a vertical
ZigZag line which reveals the maxi
mum and minimum strength of the
signal
All bearings are based upon the
minimum signal, or null" as it is
called by radio engineers. The null
is recorded when the revolving an
tenna is exactly at right angles to
the direction from which the signal
is coming.
The null as shown on the chart
form can be plotted exactly from a
transparent plexiglas plate gradual
ed in degrees which is placed over
the chart. The radio operator can
then read off the bearing of the air.
plane in degrees.
1t is necessary for at least two
stations equipped with the antenna
and recorder to work together in
triangulating a planes position. This
position is then Immediately radi-
oed to the pilot who uses the re-
port to check upon his own naviga-
ton. .-.-.-- ....
If three stations take bearings 81
simultaneously from plane in flight,
lines from the stations are project
ed on a map. The exact position
of the plane will be shown by the
point on the map where the lines
intersect.
''In practice" Cunningham ex-
planned, ''we will use two or mere
ground stations simultaneously in re-
ceiving the reports from any given
airplane. The bearings obtained by
these stations will be electrically
transmitted to our key dispatching
posts on the transcontinental route.
There the bearings can be plotted
on charts in a few seconds and we
thus know the location of every
plane within a mile or two.

WILKES NEW ROLE

The Bill of Rights in our Constitu-
ton doesn't use these words but
what part of it means is, that it is
every Americans sacred privilege
to say what he pleases, think what
he pleases and change his mind as
often as he desires. That goes for
Wendell Willkie.
But with such privileges go obi
cations, moral if not legal. Mr..
Willkie, after a considerable period
of hesitation as to just what it was
all about, during which his stock
slumped from the remarkable high
of the Philadelphia convention to a
very low point in August, finally be-
gan to attract followers again. He
announced that he was leading a
crusade to return America to the
Americans. He stood against any
further delegation and concentra-
ton of power in the President.
He was for aiding Britain within
our own and international law" but
he felt that if Mr.. Roosevelt were
reelected it would be construed as
mandate for an immediate, head
long rush toward war. He, Willkie,
stood for caution and discretion and
the building of an impregnable
American defense.
In private conversations, he was
even more explicit on this and re-
vealed that his only reason for not
being explicit openly was that he
feared that he would lose the sup
port of certain great New York pub
locations.
The impression that he tried to
leave was that he stood against the
war-minded and those who had been
careless of American defense as
the apostle of about hemisphere de-
Tense and the traditional American
policy of a minimum of meddling
with the interminable European con-
fict.
On this basis, millions of people
left their party moorings, some of
them at great sacrifice of personal
friendship and prestige, to follow
him. Some gave him more help than
the leading members of his own
new-found party. It was not ques-
ton with them of partisanship. 1t
was question of patriotism.
Nothing has happened since to i'm
pair the apparent soundness of that
doctrine. If anything, what has hap
pened since has strengthened it. But
it would have been impossible for
Mr.. Willkie to have gone further
than he has now gone to repudiate
it and those ardent followers of it
and him.
