fected, one additional problem must
be solved-development of new traffic
patterns which take advantage of
the electronic aids and still maintain
the present degree of safety. This
means some automatic system of
keeping track of planes within the
control area to replace the present
peg board method.
The new control patterns must be
adapted to a new airWays system
built around radio devices which
send out compass bearings in all di-
rections. The devices are now being
installed and may be in general use
within two years. They are called
mni-directional ranges. Coupled
with distance measuring equipment,
they will permit an entirely new sys-
tenn. Always now follow signals
sent in only four directions from
each range station.
All of those methods are on the
books for use as standard equip
ment in a matter of months to
three years. The people who worry
about airline traffic are figuring out
devices which will permit pilots to
see on map their precise position
in relation to the ground or to other
aircraft, and will operate planes on
the airways through automatic con-
trolls much as trains are kept safely
spaced.

It's waiting around, rather than
getting down, that bothers the air
lines most in handling traffic during
thick weather.
The overwhelming attention tc
landing aids recently has hidden
other problems of low visibility flying
behind a pile of alphabetic cleo
tronics, such as GOA, Ills, MT1
DINE, VHF, NEW, API, Cpl. and
a flock of trade names for naviga-
tional equipment.
Landing is a problem, but All
Transport Association officials say
they are more concerned with the
complexities of handling traffic in
the approach zones.
Planes are "held" in these zones
awaiting their turn to land. This
is accomplished now by a time and
space separation known as stack
ing" Each plane is assigned a Level
and told to fly a pattern marked by
radio beacons on the ground.
The bottom plane in stack Is
called in, and then planes on the
upper levels move down 1000 feet
at a time. The traffic controller on
the ground gives orders by radio
to each plane, and each pilot
acknowledges the order and reports
his departure from a previously
assigned level.
Slow, Clumsy Method.
AS far as safety goes, the present
airways traffic control system of the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
couldn't be better. It has a perfect
record. No planes flying blind" Gas
instrument operation is popularly
known under CAB control ever
have collided. The record for planes
flying in clear skies is somewhat less
perfect.
The trouble with the present
method is that it is clumsy, slow and
limited in capacity. Airlines must
cut back schedules during low
visibility weather.
The airlines now operate some 8OO
planes. They average around IL
hours in the air and several takeoffs
and landings daily. In clear wealth
er they can take off or land less
than minute apart. Bad-weather
landings require from 5 to IL min
utes each and takeoffs must be held
back to permit minutes clearance
for a plane coming in through the
overcast.
That system is already inadequate
at cities like New York, Washington,
Chicago and Los Angeles.
The problem is being attacked in
several ways:
/. Multiple airways have been in
stalled in the heaviest travel areas
There are three lanes between Bos-
ten, New York and Washington, for
example, and double and triple all
paths between some other points
such as Detroit and Cleveland and
Chicago.
| 2. Because multiple airways in
crease the number of planes arriving
in the airport area to land, the nex1
step is to shorten the time required
to land an airplane during instru-
ment weather. Ground-controuee

approach and instrument landing
system are expected to reduce the
landing time to minimum of two
minutes or less. That should cut
deeply into the stacking problem.
Radar in Trial Stage.
3. The third, and perhaps most
important move, is to give the
ground controller radar "eyes" to
see the planes in the approach zone.
The last step would appear to be
simple in the light of all that has
been said about radar. No one
doubts that it is the eventual an
swer, but thus far the method for
adapting search radar to CONNER
cial airways traffic control has not
been found.
A major attack on the problem
is being made by the Airborne In
struments Laboratory, an airlines
project, at Mineola, N. Y. Labora-
tory technicians set up radar an
tenna and studied the super satu-
rated New York area traffic for
couple of months. Now the equip
ment is being moved to a point near
La Guardia Field and will be tried
as an aid in actual traffic control.
Search radar shows the direction
and distance of an airplane. To
show the altitude, which is impor-
tant to the controller, another piece
of equipment must be used. The
problem is to coordinate this data
so that it is instantly available to
the controller. Then a fourth piece
of information must be gotten
identifying a particular plane in
stantly.
All of the information necessary
for the job can be obtained now by
various steps. For practical use,
however, the process must be greatly
simplified and speeded up.
Change in Traffic Pattern.
The approach to solution is not
confined to equipment on the
ground. The laboratory is working
also on airborne devices which will
enable the pilot to see his own posi-
tion in relation to the airport and
to other planes in the approach
zone. One such method would tel
evise the radar scope to the aircraft.

TAXPAYERS URGED 10 FILE INCOME
 RETURNS EARLY

Taxpayers of Washington and Alaska who desire early refunding Of income tax overpayments are advised hy Clark Squire, collector Of internal revenue, to file as soon as possible the return showing in- come for 1946.
 Processing of returns is long and complicated task, part of which is performed in 8 central processing office in New York, Squire said. Since those returns which are sent to the processing cffice are handled there in the or Ger of delivery, this collection dis trict is placed in competition with other districts in the matter of ex- pediting completion of this work Therefore, any taxpayer who ex- poets an early refund must file promptly"
 Squire pointed out that in view Of the distance from New York most collection districts have a de- cided advantage over Washington To beat the rush period in the processing office, returns from Ia coma must be shipped earlier
 Cooperation all along the line is necessary if we are to make refunds early" Squire continued. First employers must act promptly in furnishing employees with Form Wa. Second, taxpayers must file their returns without delay. Mean while employers should forward us their W-2a forms
 'The first job in our office is 10 segregate various types of re- turns and express as rapidly as possible those which are supposed to he in New York. The more we can deliver in January, the faster will be the flow of refund checks into the hands of taxpayers

BRUCETOWN, Tenn. Jan. IA A band of 150 grim-faced. roughly dressed men who escorted theif wives and daughters to work in a shirt factory tris morning trud9ed three quarters of a mile through a misty rain to receive assurances that two CIO union organizers would quit this west Tennessee town.
 The decision of two women rep resentatiyes of the CLOS Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America to leave town before noon came after a spokesman for the escort interviewed them at their board ing house.
 We will leave before noon,' said Eula McGill of Birmingham and May Morgan of Knoxville, who have been in charge of organiza- tional efforts at the Henry I. Siegel shirt factory here.
 Tall, slender Lindel Cole. 40- year old farmer, told the union women:
 We don't want any trouble, We just want yau to leave town and before noon. If you don't ec we will call on you agai. ,or.rrrow morning"
 Miss hicGill said she had mo comment to make on the matter, but responded to a question that she was sure the CIO will" con- tinue efforts to organize the plant.
 Marshal Hill Taylor stood by as Cole spoke to the women, saying he was present ito see that there is no trouble"
 Taylor said he had promised the organizers they would not be harm ed.
