Air Navigation Board
Reports Progress in
|3Safefy Development

A joint military and civilian
board. set UP by Congress q year
ago to develope better air traflc
procedures, has worked out plans
that will tend to prevent tragedies
like the November / collision be-
tween q P-38 and an Eastern Air
line plane. which took IS lives.
This was disclosed yesterday by
the Air Navigation Development
Board in It's first report, issued by
Chairman Ralph S. Damon in a
press conference at the Carlton
Hotel.
Mr.. Damon disclosed that the
board is developing three major
pieces Of traffic control equipment
that will reduce in-night delays
by assuring landing time reserva-
tions for aircraft and will create
maximum safety conditions for
both civil and military planes.
The board also is working on
airport surface detection equip
ment to help tower controllers
regulate traffic on runways, and
taxiways during bad weather, and
radar ground interrogation-a air
reply system by which controllers
can determine aircraft identity,
height and location.
Wide Use by 1855.
Chairman Damon said the new
system. which will apply to CON-
mercial. military and private air.
craft alike. should be in practi-
cally universal operation in the
United States within five years.
The plan to prevent in-flight
delays probably will be worked out
with q mechanical and electronic
device, techniques for which al
ready are known. The system
automatically will reserve q land
ing time for any plane departing
from any airport for any destina-
ton in this country.
Under the plan, any pilot de-
string to fly. for instance, from
Washington to New York. will file
a flight plan with a control Office
here. giving, desired time Of de-
parture and estimated speed. This
information would be trans
United automatically to q control
center in New York. 49,
Three Possible Answers.
Three possible answers would be
received: Clearance, reserving a
specific landing time; a reply that
the requested time Is received and
suggesting another time as close
as possible to that sought. or .
reply that the desired landing
field is fully reserved and suggest
ing an alternate field and time.
This function now is performed
on a handmade basis. board mem
bers explained. Their plan will
make 1t mechanical and auto
matte.
In other words. it was explained,
airplanes will be delayed on the
ground, not In the air. Successful
application Of the plan would pre-

The greatest crowd in the history
of Nassau turned out to greet Joe
Louis, heavyweight champion Of the
world when he appeared here Tues
day in a boxing exhibition. Not
even when the Duke Of Windsor.
former King of England, arrived as
governor were the crowds as dense.
Louis rose to the occasion and
knocked out his opponent, Jimmie
Edwards, relatively unknown
boxer from the states in the fourth
round. Charles Major promoted the
event which was most successful
financially.
during the stay Champion Louis
was received by the governor, Sil
James Murphy. A reception was held
for him after the match.
Barristers Thaddeus Toote and
A. F. Adderly with their wives, gave

New Meeting TO Follow
Study Of Shoe X-Rays

The potential dangers Of X-rays
in shoe fitting equipment will be
discussed by committee COM
posed of shoe statesmen, X-ray en-
gineers, representatives Of insur-
ance underwriters and public
health officials at a meeting soon
after Easter.
Managers of shoe stores and
statesmen met at the Municipal
Center yesterday at the invitation
of District health officials to con-
slider the matter. They agreed to
meet again, after the situation
had been studied more carefully.
Peter J. Valaer, industrial hy-
gienist of the Bureau of Health
Engineering of the District Health
Department told the merchants
the Health Department is not able
yet to tell exactly what the effects
may be, but he said they could be
harmful, if the machine was used
too much in shoe fitting. He said
this is especially true in the case
of children, whose feet are tender.
Forty per cent of the industrial
life insurance purchased in 1947
was on the lives of women.
