Group Seeks Answer
To Congestion Problem

Why are these aides, including radar
and other devices which were developed
rapidly during the war, so slow in
coming to the help of the commercial
airlines? With them, whole bomber and
fighter fleets landed blind in England
or France, and in places like the Aleu-
tians or Two Jima. The question is
often put by returning airmen to the
Civil Aeronautics Administration and
the Air Transport Association.
Both agencies, with the aid of the
Army Air Forces and the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics, are working toward
solution. just now a technical COM
mittee is being formed for an imme-
diate survey of traffic patterns, instru-
ment landing procedures and naviga-
tional aides in the congested Washing
ton-New York area. Operational pilots
and traffic control experts from the
various airports will be included on the
committee, along with CAA, ATA, Army
and Navy technicians.
The problem is especially acute around
New York. Traffic jams there in bad
weather directly affect Washington de-
partures and arrivals. Airplanes in and
out of La Guardia, Floyd Bennett or
Mitchell Fields now must reckon with
those from newly reopened Newark
Airport. Soon Idlewild will add to the
complex picture.
With both domestic and overseas
operations expanding rapidly. present
facilities are being taxed in bad weather
to maintain safe margins of separation
on intricate, criss-crossing traffic lanes.
Planes in airport areas must 60 on
instruments and accept traffic control
orders from the ground when the CELL
ing drops lower than 300 feet and visi-
bility is less than miles.
One of the committees primary in
terests is to speed landings, within safety
limits, from the present 10 to Is minutes
required to bring each plane down.
Numerous tests conducted by the CAA
and Army have reduced this interval
to and even minutes, and combat
planes have been brought in at much
shorter intervals with visibility at Zero
zero.

Within the scope of the institutions
research have been study of the early

totem poles, dictionaries of Indian Ian

prehistoric Indian dwellings, the late
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka's quest of ancient man,
Miss Frances Densmore's investigations
into Indian music. Other fields of re-
search have embraced astrophysics,
meteorology, geology and paleontology,
mineralogy, zoology and botany.

Chicago Daily News.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. H.
President Juan Domingo Peron of
Argentina, international bad boy OF
1945, is hell-bent on winning friends
and influencing people.
Col. Peron, who bet on the Nazis
and lost, last year was considered
more of threat to peace than either
Dictator Francisco Franco of Spain
or Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia
Within recent days, however, he has
made two bids to mend his shredded
reputation.
Col. Peron, sensitive to public re-
lations, heard that the United States
needed meat. Only year ago, our
State Department was trying, un-
successfully, to get him kicked out
or at least to defeat him in his race
for the presidency.
But Col. Peron wants bygones to
be bygones and has just offered
through his ambassador in Wash
ington, to send canned beef and
fresh lamb to help out our meat
hungry people. Chances are that
not a pound will ever reach the
United States.
Gains Good Publicity.
But Col. Peron has obtained won
derful publicity throughout Latin
America-and, he hopes, in the
United States-on his magnanimous
offer, of course for cash.
Last week Col. Peron endeareo
himself to the Brazilians. He did il
the same way he charmed British
and United States financial inter
ests last month.
Brazil, short of everything except
glamor and beaches, needed wheat
for bread. So Col. Peron sent ar
eniSsary to Rio de Janeiro to in
quire into things.
