IFCC 10 Clarity 1916 Ruling

The Religious Radio Association

casters making comparable time
available for atheists whenever
church services, prayers, Bible
readings, and other kinds Of re-

Under the present ruling atheists
may conceivably claim these wor-
ship broadcasts as controversies"

British Experiments
with JET AirIiners
Appear Ahead Of u. ).
By {. c. N. Shepherd
North American Newspopss Aliionce

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The record
set recently for the flight by an air
liner between London and Paris
was a hint of Britain's aims rather
than a proof of what she has
achieved in the development of jet
driven airliners. The Vickers Vik-
ing, which made the fast fight be-
tween the two capitals, has the dis
tinction of being the first jet air
liner in the world; but it will be used
for experimental and development
flying. When Britain puts Jet lin
ers into service, they viii have bet
ter performance than the Viking.
What the jet Viking did on the
Paris run was quite spectacular.
The 218 miles was flown in little
more than half an hour-or at 384
miles an hour. The top speed of
this Viking is given by the makers
as 399 miles per hour. Seeing that
the best speed Of the Viking with
piston engines is about 270 miles per
hour, the substitution of jet power
evidently has done big things for
the Viking. In improving the speed
sacrifice has had to be made in
range.
Range Cut in Half.
Barely 300 miles can be done nom
stop by the jet Viking, whereas, in
its standard form, the Viking can
fly more than twice that distance on
similar proportion Of the available
power.
In fact the Viking pays heavily
for its extra speed. 1t is a good ex-
ample of the high cost of increasing
speed solely by crowding on power.
The old rough rule that in given
airplane, speed increases as the
cube of the power, is illustrated in
this adaptation.
In the form In which it flies on the
routes of British European airways,
the Viking is fitted with two Bristol
Hercules engines with a total of
5000 horsepower. AS a jet liner it
uses two Rolls-Royce meme gas tur-
bines yielding a total of 5000 pounds
of static thrust. At the speed at
which the Viking flies that thrust
can be taken as the equivalent of
what would be produced by the ap-
plication of about $4,000 horsepower
to set of propellers.
Power Is Increased.
The power of the Viking has
therefore been increased five times
for rise of less than half in the
speed. That is obviously uneconomi-
cal.
The interested observer would be
entitled to ask why jet propulsion
should be tried in an airliner which
cannot make proper use of it. The
answer is that there are masses OF
operational information about the
use of jet propulsion in military air
craft but that there is no commercial
airplane ready to fly which was de-
signed for jets. Britain is now pre-
pairing gas turbines for commercial
service and needs to fly them in
commercial types of aircraft. She
wants to operate jets along COM
mercial routes in all the conditions
of weather and airport control
which will have to be met when jet
liners are put into service.
Britain stands virtually alone in
this pioneer application of jet power
to airplanes. Canada is said to have
jet liner in the design stage. The
United States has jet bombers un-
dergoing test flights at present, but
no jet liner is known to be in con-
Struction.

Alarm Network Set Up
To Flash Warninq Of
Seaquakes in Pacific
" the kssoeiofsd Press

An alarm network to warn of sea
waves caused by earthquakes under
the Pacific Ocean has been an
nounced by the United States Coast
and Goedetic Survey.
Such a wave killed five persons
at Unimak Island, in the Aleutians,
on April /, 1916, then Travelled in
51z hours to strike Hilo, Hawaii.
There 1t killed 173 persons and
caused SOS, ,000, 900 damage.
The seismic sea wave warning
system, as it is called, depends on
earthquake detectors, military radio,
and q far-flung lookout service to
issue public warnings.
Because the wave is capable of
moving 900 miles an hour, as in
1916, fast radio transmission is vital
to the warning system. The Coast
and Geodetic Survey has arranged
for cooperation with the Once of
Naval Communications.
Not Perceptible at Sea.
A "tsunami," as such waves are
called. is not perceptible to ships at
sea or aircraft because it may be
only 4 feet high and more than
100 miles from crest to crest. Strik-
ing coastline, however, it may rise
to 81 feet, as at Waikolu, Hawaii,
two years ago.
The warning system was described
by Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer
in an announcement issued in be-
half of the Survey and its director,
Admiral Leo Otis Colbert.
I'VE felt that since modern
science was capable of detecting
the earthquake itself within a few
minutes after it occurred, we should
certainly be able to devise a system
for issuing warnings of the possible
approach Of tsunamis, which are
caused by earthquakes.
Stations Established.
The submarine earthquake, or
"seaquake," will show up on visable
seismograph recorders at stations
already set up by the Survey at
Tucson, Ariz., and near Honolulu,
and at another now being estab-
lished at Fairbanks, Alaska.
Earthquake reports are sent to
the seismological center at Homo
lulu, where the center of any quake
can be located promptly and other
stations queried If more reports are
needed.
When the position is determined,
