WASHINGTON, D. C.-Presi-
dent Truman has received both
praise and censure for his new
veterans housing program since
the forced resignation of Wilson
Wyatt, his housing expeditor. But
whatever the result, his program
almost parallels the recommen-
dations of the American Legion
housing committee, which organ
ization was the bitterest critic
of the Wyatt program, And so,
if veterans are dissatisfied with
the ultimate result of the present
plan, they bear in mind that the
program now in force was heart
lily endorsed by the American
Legion, the most powerful vete-
rams group.
However, with the demise of
Paul Porter in OPA and Wyatt
in veterans housing and the Pres
ident's liquidation of these agen-
cies in his newly formed office
of temporary controls, if the pres
sure groups had any idea they

Maggie, and now she was al

A cracking, reverDerating

And then they both stood still,
caught up in the sheer elemen-

went roaring on past them.

levitt Nail Helps
Cure Shattered Hip
Surgeons Are Told Of Success
With New Device.

CHICAGO.-Badly shattered hip
joints of elderly people mend faster
and safer with a new steel device
known as the levitt nail, American
Academy of Orthopedic Specialists
were told here.
Three bone specialists of st.
Luke's hospital, New York, said that
the appliance does away with the
method of using pulleys on the leg
while the patient remained in bed
for as long as IA weeks.
sit was estimated that about 40
per cent of elderly patients die while
in traction" the doctors said. 10Th
ers develop pressure sores from ly-
ing in bed so long and many develop
bladder Inflammation and irritation.
About II per cent have to be
transferred to mental institutions be-
cause of a severe psychotic state
which develops"
Using the levitt device, a combi-
nation three-fianged nail and bone
plate all in n piece, the doctors
said they have been able to reduce
mortality to about IL per cent
and prevent crooked healing.
The time the patient must stay in
the hospital has been cut almost half,
they said, and the cost proportion
ately reduced.
Although the hip fracture is ira
ditionally n suffered by old peo-
pie, the injury often is sustained by
individuals in the prime of life, the
surgeons said.
About 95 patients with shattered
hips have been operated on in New
York, using the levitt nail, they
added.
Surgeons making the report were

M. Bosworth and DR.. Frederick R.

plicabIe only to the track allotted TO
the plane.
AS the film turns in relation to the
speed of the plane, the marks work
In conjunction with the electrical
output of the radio set to control the
needle on the dial.
Keep the needle on zero and you
will always follow a straight line.
D%eviations of only 200 yards will
show on the dial.
As to Bad Weather.
Toller-Bond says for 81 ,000, 900 he
could lay out a track 800 miles wide
between New York and Los Angeles.
The advantage is that in bad
weather a large number of planes
could fly side by side with safe spac-
ing. Today they fly one over the
other at 1,00O-foot intervals, a Sc
verely limited procedure because of
the likelihood of icing at various al
titudeS.
The device not only leads planes
to destinations. but also guides them
over the runway or out into an or
bit when they wait to land. The film
for any given track bears marks
for that purpose.
If the control tower operator, for
instance, instructs the pilot to take
''orbit TO-" he switches his orbit Sc
lector to No. 10, keeps the dial needle
on zero, and automatically goes into
that orbit.
Toller-Bond once flew 200 miles

dead center of Antwerp cathedral.

ing" he said. If the FEC will grant
the necessary frequencies for his
transmitters, he hopes to convince
the airlines that he is right.

Electric Power Is Stopped;
Tenants Must Buy Own Coal

VANCOUVER, WASH.-The Van
couver housing authority has de-
clared its tenants can buy coal or
sit in the dark.
Originally, the war built housing
projects furnished coal for heating.
But last year the authority decid-
ed tenants should buy their own coal.
Electricity, however, is included
in the rent, and the houses have no
meters. So many tenants, officials
said, simply stopped using coal,
bought electric heaters and let them
and ovens run constantly.
The power load got so heavy that
three transformers burned out in
one week. So from now on stations
will use smaller fuses, and if ten
ants use too much electricity they'll
be left in darkness.

ance men said the f~ve-story

Plane Tracks
Inventor Has Device Called
Aid in Blind Flying;
Britain Secret.

WASHINGTON.-A device to put
airplanes on invisible tracks that
lead them as surely to their desti-
nation as rails do trains was the
answer given by Dudley H. Toller-
Bond, British engineer, to the blind
flying and airport congestion rid
dies.
Toller-Bond has a radio device cal
culated to improve schedule RELIABLE
ity and frequency.
His device was one of Britain's
to%p-drawer wartime secrets. 1t was
Britain's because American engi-
neers told William j. O'Brien, Chi
cago, its inventor, that it would not
work. O'Brien convinced the adj
miralty otherwise.
Here's what happens: Air tracks
any number of them, in contrast
with present limitations-are laid out
between cities on a map. In instru-
ment weather, a pilot is assigned a
track, say between Washington and
New York.
Keep 1t Pointing.
In his cockpit is a dial and as
long as he keeps the needle pointing
to zero he will fly around all ter
restial obstacles such as the Empire
State building and come in directly
over the airport.
If the airport is under a low cell
ing and landings are delayed, the
pilot fips a switch. keeps the needle
on zero and is shunted tc an orbit
where he can await landing direc-
tions.
Three radio transmitters are in
stalled on the ground to cover an
area about the size of that between
Washington and Boston.
Their signals are picked up by a
30-pound radio receiver in the plane.
Before take-off, the pilot inserts a
roll of film in a track control unit.
On the film are special marks an
