80 Planes Talked Down"
The Nancy" crew here in the last
three weeks has talked down" 80
planes with less than 200-foot CELL
ings, and nine under "zero-zero''
conditions when the fog was SO thick
the radar crew could not see the
planes usually when they landed
along the runway less than 100 feet
distant.
One night the fog was so thick
and black, it was said, the pilot
had to request a "follow-me" car
with a strong searchlight to guide
him off the runway.
The pilots who flew in the tests
today wore blue goggles which
blacked out their vision through
windshields covered with an orange
sheet of plastic. Under this method
the pilots can see instrument panels
but must remove. their goggles to
look through the windshields.
The GOA crews watch radar
scopes to direct planes into an exact
approach path, correcting deviations
above or below or to either side In
a matter of seconds.
Disadvantages of the system from
the CAAs point of view are the
cost and number of men required,
the ground clutter" which shows
up on scopes located near big cities,
and the fact that the range may be
limited by electrical storms or heavy
snow at times when the sets may be
most urgently needed.

70 Families Remain
In Homes Imperi|ed
By Gasoline Seepage

Twenty families remained in their
homes in Arlington's gasoline
soaked area last night while the
key phase of the Investigation into
the mysterious underground seep-
age moved in a circle with the
source still undetermined.
Three child wards of the Airing
ton Welfare Department who were
staying in a nursery maintained at
544 North Pollard street by Mrs.
Julia Money, were removed by well
fare officials yesterday. Their re-
moval followed a warning by
County Manager Frank C. Hanra-
han to % families to move from
the. area : because, of "the danger
which may exist : by reason of
the present gasoline leakage and
gasoline fumes" Most of the 20
admitted they would move if they
could. Two other families took the
county managers advice before 1t
was given.
The phase Of the investigation,
now going into it's third week, which
appeared stymied was the checking
of three large empty gasoline stor-
age tanks owned by the Washington,
Virginia g. Maryland Coach Co., and
located near the Fifth and North
Pollard street area containing gaso-
iine-flled water wells.
Other Tanks Being Tested.
A 17,O0O-gallon tank now being
used by the bus company was ex-
cluded from the list of II possible
sources by tests which determined it
to be free of leaks. Tests are par

County Fire Chief A. G. Scheffel
made special trip to the bus COM
pany terminal yesterday morning
especially to check the three tanks
not now in use. But, he reported
to Mr.. Hanrahan, he did not test
them because H. II. England, gen.
eral manager of the bus company,
said he would rather wait until he
conferred with officials of the firm.
MIR. England told Chief Scheffel he
would get in touch with MIR. Hanra-
han later in the day.
Mr.. England told reporter the
whole matter had been referred to
the firms attorney. The latter,
Thomas w. Phillips, said he had told
Commonwealth's Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas at 1870 am. yesterday
that it was all right to make tests
on the empty tanks. Mr.. Douglas
could not be reached last night but
Mr.. Scheffel said he had not re-
ceived any word from the common
Wealth'S attorney.
Army Engineer Called In.
An Army engineer who was called
into the investigation by Mr.. Hanra-
han is scheduled to get in touch with

and the engineer, Maj. j. F. Mckay,
had agreed not to start drilling until
all storage tanks had been checked.
And the county manager emphasized
that "all" included those of the bus
company.
Chief Scheffel said he doubted If
he could begin tests until tomorrow.
The tests, he explained, involve
pumping out the tanks, now filled
with water, and then measuring
air pressure.

THE VETERANS
CORNER
CT. LOANS

a government guaranteed loan
is one of the veterans most valu-
able benefits. A CT loan makes
it easier for former servicemen
to get credit from a lending in
stitution and at the same time in
Sures a low interest rate.
Here are the answers to some
of the questions veterans ask
contact representatives of the
Veterans Administration about
loans:
Q. What is meant by a guar
anty of loan under the CT. Bill?
A. The guaranty of a loan by
the VA under the provisions of
the Servicemen's REIMBURSEMENT
Act is an agreement between a
lender of money and VA that in
event a veteran fails to pay his
loan, the Government will pay
the guaranteed portion of the
loan.
@. If l can't meet payments
on my guaranteed loan, is pay
ment by the Government a gift
to me?
A. No, payment by the Gov
eminent of your guaranteed loan
is not a gift. 1t must be repaid,
and if the Government pays the
guaranteed part of the loan to the
lender, you are obligated to the
Government for that part of the
loan.
Q. l have lender who will
lend me the money l need, but he
wants additional security. Does
the law allow him to ask for Sc
curity?
A. Yes. This is a matter be-
tween you and the lender. While
the VA does not require that ad-
ditional security be given, it does
not object if the veteran is will
ing to give it.
q. | am widow of a World
War II veteran and want to buy
home. Can l obtain a guaran-
ty of a loan?
A. No. The privilege is limit
ed to veterans of World War II.
@. Can l obtain a guaranteed
loan to purchase household furn-
ishings?
A. No.
