Practical steps 10 cut air transport
accidents 80 per cent this year in
the most serious category were out
lined by Civil Aeronautics Admin
istrator T. P. Wright yesterday
afternoon at a press conference
called in view of public concern
over the recent series of crashes.
At the same time, Mr.. Wright's
Office and the Civil Aeronautics
Board we're preparing information
for two committees in Congress
now planning to investigate the
safety record of the industry to
determine what can be done to i'm
prove matters.
In response to a question, Mr..
Wright said the fatal accidents may
call attention in Congress to the
need for adequate appropriations
for the maintenance of Federal air
ways and the development and
establishment of new aids to navi-
cation.
Approach Accidents Stressed.
While the administrator discussed
the budget only in general terms,
it was learned from other sources
that since 1941 Congress and the
Budget Bureau have cut in half the
amount requested by the CAA for
operation and maintenance of air.
ways, establishment of new naviga-
ton facilities and technical research.
In Mr.. Wrights opinion the most
serious type of accident has been
that during a landing approach un-
der conditions of poor visibility-a
situation which the CAA is taking
steps to improve He emphasized,
however, that United States airlineS
are still from 3 to 20 times as safe
as those of any other country and
the fatality rate only half that of
automobiles.
Improvements will include 80 new
instrument landing systems, now in
operation at the principal airports
and undergoing service tests by
commercial aircraft being equipped
with the air-borne receivers to op-
crate with the ground equipment.

Mr.. Ground replied there was mo

Later when called back to the

was asked if he had knowledge
whether Davis was in town at the
time of the killing. His answer was
that he knew Davis had arrived in
Tennessee about a m. November 30

At this point, Davis attorney
moved for dismissal of the case
after telling the court the finger
prints "do not bring Davis to the
scene of the crime" He then said

visited Mrs McAllister at various
times. The motion was denied.
