This is the way you are going to fly tomorrow, aeronautical engineer ing experts say:
 Suppose you live in New York and want to fly to Kalamazoo, Mich, within an hour. You call the airport, tell them to have flying taxi ready, and tell them where you want to go.
 When you get to the airport, there's your plane at the end of the runway, warming up. There's no air taxi driver. Instead there's sig nal light and push-button.
 Ride In Complet, Ease
 And after you're aboard your air taxi, the signal light flashes to tell you that you can take off, so you push the button and relax to read a paper or watch the countryside.
 It will be like riding in an apart ment house self-service elevator. Once you've. pushed the button, the plane automatically takes off, pulls up the landing gear, and heads for Kalamazoo. If storm blows you off course, the signal light will tell you to work the push-button, again to get back on the beam You'll land at Kalamazoo without having touched control; all you'll have done is push buttons.
 Don't start writing this off as a fantastic dream For with different destinations substituted, this push button flying is exactly what the Army Air Forces have been doing for several weeks at the All Weather Flying Center at Wright Field, Day ton, O.
 The flight plan for the push button planes is cranked into ser ies of gadgets before you take off. This mechanical brain is known as the automatic flight controller"
 Pushing Does All
 Pushing the button starts every thing. The plane takes off, climbs to the desired altitude, flies straight to the destination, lands, and then stops before over-running the lead ing strip. The landing gear and flaps automatically retract after taking off; the radio tunes in on the proper beam; navigational errors are automatically corrected; when you approach the landing field, the landing gear and flaps drop into proper position, and when you set down on the strip, the brakes are gently but firmly applied
 A radio beam does the guiding The automatic flight controller just follows the beam into the desired airport.
 Air Force officials say there still are many refinements to be made

AbsentGIs
 Remain Hid

Berlin, July 22-(UP)-The case of two missing American officers was wide open again today as Gen. Joseph T, McNarney hinted at unexplained plans to bring about their release.
 McNarney, U. s. commander in Europe, said steps designed to free Capt Harold Cobin of Newark, N J., and It. George Wyatt of Ok lahoma City were under considera- tion.'
 At the same time McNarney con- ceded at press conference that he was helpless in the search for the officers who disappeared July 4 after boarding a train for Oran- ienburg nearby in the Russian oc- cupation zone
 McNarney said the senior Russian commander, presumably Marshal Vastly D. .Sokolovslly, had assured him that to the best of his knowl- edge" the missing men were not in Russian custody.

Bread Put On Rotions In Britain

London, July 22-GUP)-Bread ra- tioning was a reality in Britain to- day and bakers indicated they would Cooperate with the government and forego their threatened strike against the program.
 Rationing began yesterday and coupons were collected at shops in the Jewish section of Londons East End and in the larger provincial cities. Most stores were closed, however, and the first real test of the bakers threat was expected to- day z-
 The National Association of Mas ter Bakers advised it's membership to give the plan a fair trial, despite their earlier vote to ignore the en- tire scheme as unavoidable and un- necessary.
 Since the association represents an estimated 60 percent of the bak- CTS in England and Wales, it was considered unlikely that many shops would defy the government order. Scottish bakers decided last week to support the rationing program.
 In North Ireland the situation was complicated by a threatened strike of bread truck drivers, or "roundsmen.
 The "roundsmen" rebelled against the prospect of clipping, sorting and recording coupons and announced that 90 percent of North Ireland's population would have to get its bread some other way
 Emergency centers were estab- lished by the government in schools | and other public buildings. Bakers said they would supply bread to the centers. Government workers vol unteered to handle the distribution work.
 Reliable political sources said the bread rationing plan probably would end in October if the United States keeps up it's wheat shipments. Some observers said also that an Anglo Canadian wheat agreement might be signed this week. One dispatch reported that Britain would buy the entire Canadian crop for the next four years.

Royal Hemo- goblins appeared from the vast un- known to render justice to the campers for the many misdeeds im- posed upon them by the camp staff. The directors and counselors were all found guilty and fitting punish ment imposed upon them. Bill Carr, Camp Director pleaded for mercy on pended knees and was dismissed with the sentence of entertaining the camp with an Indian dance. His dance was of some unknown Indian origin and will be greatly ig- nored in the annals of Indian Lore.
 Ralph Cooke. Associate Camp Di- rector, guilty of many injustices imposed upon him by the campers, was sentenced to Wrestle with temp tation in a knockdown and drag out battle-tempation won. Bill Herr, Waterfront Director, was found guilty of keeping the water in the lake too cold and of enticing campers into early morning dips. Bill was forced to walk the gang plank blindfolded.

Cyclone Italy Coast

Rome July P = tUPO - At least B persons were dead and scores were missing today in cy- clone which howled down on the Adriatic coastal resort area around Rimini, hitting a peak velocity esti- mated at l50 miles an hour.
 The victims mostly were holiday celebrants erowding the seashore along the stretch in which lie the resorts of Rimini, Riccione, Catto- lica and Cesenatico.
 A calm sea was dotted with swim mers and sailing craft when the cyclone hit late yesterday. Small boats were tipped over, and huge swells engulfed swimmers.
 At Cesenatico, the four ton sail ing boat Consolata, carrying 18 persons, turned turtle a few hun dred yards from shore, and all aboard were drowned.
 At Cattolica, sailboat with Is aboard was smashed on the beach. An 11-year-old girl was dragged under but all others aboard were saved.
 At Pesaro seven tourists in a fishing smack were drowned when it tipped oyer. Seven bathers were drowned at~Ponte Lagoscuro.
 Telephone poles and trees along the coast of Forli Province were hattened by the wind which struck at an estimated velocity of 150 miles an hour
 The Adriatic beaches in the stricken area were crowded with vacation crowds and bathers from the nearby countryside, as well as the cities of Bologna, Ferrara and Ancona.

FormerCIose  Says Priest
 Father Griffin Opens
 Safety Week With
 Radio Address

There is no life more full than that of farmer No man Is closer to nature and to God. No man has greater opportunities to live away from the artificialities of urban conveniences, said Rev Joseph Griffin. president Of St. Thomas Seminary, on the Sabbath Mes sage program over WTTC Sunday at 8:30 A M.
 Speaking on the first day of Ma tional Safety Council, Rev Griffin talked about the spiritual advantag- es and needs of the farmer
 Churches have realized for some time that they must not neglect the country folk he said. Since farmers are nearer to nature they are nearer to God. They understand nature better and the power of or derliness Of God, and basically are better prepared to accept His teach ings. Unfortunately they may be neglected. Unlike their forebearers they may not peruse the Bible and attend their distant churches. We InuSI DIlllS these CO them.
 Just as safety groups are inter- ested in the physical well being of the farmers of our nation, the Church is working diligently and seeking opportunities to care for their souls. To work in the farm ing districts is missionary work, hard work too, but filled with con- solation. No people are less expres- sive, perhaps, but yet more sincere ly appreciative.
 Farm children may seem to have fewer spiritual dangers as well as physical ones just because they are removed from the hustle of buSi- ness life. For the good of the Country, as they are its founda- tions, and for their own good be- cause they must often face city life later on, they must be taught to avoid evil and sin. They will not fall victims to it if well grounded in faith by parents who have been taught the way of life.
 "PeopHe should be shown how to live on the Farm, how to use na- lures rich bounty, how to raise crops and animals that are sound and good, and how to bring up their children in Gods paradise. Spir- itual well being on the farms brings about better farms and better phy- sical and spiritual children for America |"

on the automatic flight controller before the general public sees it's fool-proof use. But they call it "the most significant development in flight engineering" since the war.
 And it is only one of the many significant advances in aviation the Air Forces have made since World War II ended. The Air Force took the hood of secrecy off the auto matic flight controller" at recent meeting of the nations aviation writers; they added several details on other developments that show what can be expected during the next ten years. But most of the other developments were off the record.
 Work On Weather Hazards
 One of the goals of the Air Force engineers is to develop something that will eliminate the weather haz- ards in flying, military, commercial and private. The push button pilot is step in that direction.
 On the basis of the Air Forces show, it is apparent that jet and rocket engines soon will replace the old gasoline driven plane Engineers believe that jet-engined passenger planes will cruise at 800 miles an hour against the 300 for air trans ports today
 The plane of the future probably will have wings with definite swept back design; engineers have found these more efficient at the ex- tremely high speeds jet-propulsion will make possible. And the flying wing, lately dubbed "flapjack" is even more efficient.
 Maybe that flying taxi for your future trip to Kalamazoo will be push-button "flapjack"
