Pilot error is blamed for most air crashes but
pilot perfection has been pushed near the limit
until supermen born.
Safety experts, looking around the pilot to learn
what makes him make mistakes, are convinced
that design error" is very important item. Now
they hope to give the good pilot better cockpit
During the war the Air Force lost more than half
as many pilots in training accidents as it lost in
combat. An Air Force study of the experiences of
460 flyers since the war disclosed one important
fact:
Evening star., 1948-03-14
Cockpit Urged for Air Safety

that order when increasing power, and In the
reverse order to decrease It,
The natural arrangement would appear to be to
place the controls in the order of use, but few
planes have it that way.
The second most common faiing-confusing flap
and wheels-accounts for one error in eight In
most airpanes those controls in the same area
and sometimes have the same shape. Both are
used in landings and takeofs
Mr. Garrett proposes that all cockpits be standard
lied, whether for military, commercial or private
planes
Standardization would mean having each control
in the relative position in every cockpit. The
effectiveness Of that would be increased by code
shaping the handles so that pilot would recog
nize the control by feel and by distinctive coloring
A further step might be changing the movement
of controls such from horizontal to vertical
or rotary Still another step might be to place the
light used to show whether control Is on or of
right in the handle instead of above, below or be-
side it.
The next big move for safety Is to increase train
ing Flight training is expensive. It costs as much
as $500 an hour in large four -engine plane.
When a mistake occurs it can be very expensive.
Trainer Does Everything but Crash
Mr.. Garrett says most of the training can be done
on the ground in synthetic" devices. Several
companies are in the synthetic fight training field.
One of these has built crew. trainer for the Boe
ing Stratocruiser.
The trainer is an exact duplicate Of the strato-
cruiser fight deck. 1t can do everything the plane
itself can do-except crash.
The trainer retails at something approaching
100000, although the price could be lowered for
quantity orders. Operation will cost at least $50
an hour.
However flight training in the Stratocruiser
probably will run near $4,000 an hour. The plane
sells for 81 100000 or more.
The Government does not now recognize such
training as part of the flight time required when
pilots take over new plane types Mr.. Garrett
feels however. that it should be credited toward
part of the requirement. He believes that will en-
courage their use and contribute to safety.

service of the people in their private and community
undertakings. They are to assist the farmer, the
merchant, the manufacturer and all others engaged
in private enterprise The dams, the power plants
navigation locks, oodgates and all other facilities
are only means to that end.'
Given Broad Powers Over Resources
Before he stepped down as IVA chairman to
become head of the Atomic Energy Commission,
David E. Lilienthal said the Authority had passed
from what he termed the first phase"-the dra-
matte dam-building programme it's second phase.
His successor, Gordon r. Clapp amplifying this,
says, "We now have the tools with which to make
full utilization of the valleys natural resources
Ind this is the payof from building"
IVA created by 1888 congressional act
which charged it with harnessing the Tennessee
River for flood control, power and navigational
purposes,
The Authority was given broad powers to CO.
ordinate and develop resources-the soil, minerals,
forests and industries-of the Tennessee Valley.
This is an area OF more than 10000 square miles,
with 100000 persons.
Its power program has developed so rapidly that
today the Authority is the largest single producer
of electric current in the United States 1t pro-
vided more than 15,O00,000000 kilowatt hours of
power last year for 100000 consumers
iva has variety of contractual relations with
% privately owned power companies providing for
nterconnection of facilities for interchange sale
and purchase of power and for mutual emergency
standby services.
IVA estimates the City of Chattanooga has been
spared $23,000000 in flood damages in the last
four years through regulation of the Tennessee
River during the winter rainy season.
Some of the Achievements :
1t also maintains that in event OF major flood
on the lower Ohio River its systems of dams would
reduce flood heights by at least feet between
Cairo ILL.,. and the mouth of the Arkansas River.
The Authority, in a report on a survey OF lower
Mississippi Valley flood conditions, says this 2foot
reduction is worth $2000000 900 in oodcontrol pro-
lection along the lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
The figure is based on the protection the reduced
flood crest would give to cities railroads, highways
farms, foodways and other properties.
The nine major dams on the river form 630-
mile channel from Knoxville to the Ohio River
which will accommodate vessels of 9-foot draft
Last year more than 600 ton-mles Of freight
were handled on this channel.
The Tennessee, transformed by the dams from
swift, uncontrolled stream into series of lakes now
connects with 10,000-mie inland waterway system

KNOxVILLE-The Tennessee Valley Authority,
now nearing its 18th anniversary, is serving as
blueprint for similar power and food-control
developments in other lands
Since VI day more than 5000 foreigners among
them government leaders, engineers scientists and
writer's, have visited the vast project.
iva officials said almost all were studying the
Authoritys program with an eye to adapting some
phase of it to their countries.
At least three other countries already have begun
work or made plans for projects similar to iva.
In each instance former employe of the Authority
is in charge.
Need Common to All Nations
India has begun work on power agency on the
Damodar River with w. L. Voorduin, former IVA
engineer, in charge. Peru has dam building pro-
gram under way under direction of Barton Jones'
Plans have been drawn for vast development on
the Jordan River in Palestine with James Hays
another former IVA engineer, chief engineer.
junior-sized IVA Is nearing completion in the
hills of Puerto Rico. Designed to play big part
in the development of Puerto Ricos industry, 1t
will furnish one-seventh of the islands power,
replacing imported oil.
James P. Pope, one of the three IVA directors and
a former Senator from Idaho, says many foreigners
come to study the iva because:
THE need for resource development is common

power and machinery in the creative work of
improving living conditions; that will afford op-
portunities for progress in material and cultural
well-beng.''
Another official says the foreigners see in iva
"the utilization of an Independent corporate agency
of government to stimulate the unified development
of all the resources of specified region"
IVA will be IS years old in May. The years have
been stormy ones, with prospects of no immediate
change in that respect.
For one thing, iva now goes to Republican,
controlled Congress for operating funds. Formerly
it had friendly Democratic Congress acting on
its fund requests
Critics Call 1t Socialistic Experiment
For another. Tennessee's Senator K. D. McKellar,
long bitter opponent of the TVA directorate, has
made clear his determination to continue to oppose
IVA on policy matters, particularly fiscal ones.
One criticism leveled at the Authority is that 1t
is sociastic experiment bent on encroaching upon
private enterprise

Director Pope this way:
