When HOn-segregatiOn went into

Of Biloxi boycOtted the dances
and sports events Of the air base.
Now, however, they have accept.
ed the policy on the base, but not
IN the town.
The only recreation which the
Negro airman can find off base
Is a number of so-called clubs In
the Negro section. These clubs.
for the most part, are combined

and houses. The upahot
Is that Negroes Increasingly seek
their recreation on base where

because Negroes marched IN their

SPONGE to these complaints, the
commander at kecsler said that

Army revised its policy govern

personnel would be administered
on an equal merit basis, without
regard to race or color. Last
month, the Army dropped the
quota system which had restrict
ed Negro enlistments to only 10
percent of the total force. But the
Army Is far behind the Air Force
and the Navy In carrying out the

commanding officers stated
frankly that. although they had
recognized the merits OF the new
Air Force racial policy they
had been apprehensive. Without
any exception, they added that
their fears had been completely
groundless, and that they were
amazed at the ease with which
the new policy has been effected
and the absence Of trouble.
1T was interesting to get the
reaction Of officers from the

NAVAL AIR TEST CENTER,
Patuxent, Md. Mar. 20.-Getting
jet aircraft back on a carrier in
fog or darkness is one of the
toughest problems in electronics
ever tackled here.
But the experts won't be salts
fled until even Dilbert, who never
listens to the briefing, is able to
find his ship in the soup and stay
put on a deck he can hardly see.
He also must get home not late,
but exactly on time.
There can be little delay when
up to 100 homing jets are burn
ing fuel at a rate which will put
some of them into the ocean if
Dilbert and his mates mess up the
landing schedule.
Equipment is in existence now
to make carrier landings auto
matte, and to control planes with
in reach of line-of sight trans
missions. The weight and size of
airborne parts will have to be re-
duced, however.
Manual Landings Likely.
Automatic landings seem less
likely, experts here say, than
manual landings guided by an
electronic Zero reader" which
feeds the pilots the information
they need to make an exact
approach by watching a simple
dial.
In any case, carriers probably
will be equipped with omni-
directional transmitters similar
to those being installed by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
throughout the Federal airways.
These also will include trans
mitters to activate a new air
borne distance measuring re-
ceiver. A clock-like dial or
meter records the exact distance
to the surface station in miles or
fractions of a mile.
This latter instrument was
demonstrated to visiting reporters
in the Navy Delta" projects fly
ing laboratory for testing elec-
tronics navigational equipment.
The auto pilot was set on course
for the station at Patuxent and
the airmen read their distance
from the station on the DINE,
soon to become standard equip
ment on the airlines.
Earlier, the DC-4 with its
$4,000 worth of navigational
aids made a pass at Richmond
Airport during the height Of
Thursdays g. inch snoWstorm
there. The auto pilot was locked
into the direction and glide path
beams of the instrument landing
transmitter at the airport.
Exactly Over Runway.
With visibility down to a quar-
ter of a mile, and a ceiling of
some 800 feet, the robot brought
the transport exactly over the
runway in landing position. The
airport was closed at the time
to other traffic.
The DC-4 was making a second
test approach, when a red flag
came up on the cross-pointer dial.
Ten seconds later the control
tower reported that the glide path

was out of order. and the plane
proceeded to Patuxent.
The Navy plans in cooperation
with the Radio Technical Com
mittee for Aeronautics and the
Air Force to use navigational aids
which will enable its planes to
fly the civilian airways, or to
home on carriers at sea.
The use of omni- -directional
transmitters on carriers, it was
said, should not betray their pres
ence to an enemy who can be
assumed to have airborne search
radars. Enemy aircraft within
range of >line-of sight transmits
sions from carriers. it was said,
can be expected to have radars
which will pick up the carriers
independently from that distance.
High Fuel Consumption.
In any future war, carrier oper-
ations for obvious reasons will be
conducted in the north, where sud-
den storms, fogs and long periods

Four Cops Slain
In Orange Free
State Flare-Up

PRETORIA, South Africa a.
NP)- A flare-up, which has been
brewing for many months in the
Witzieshoek reservation in the
Orange Free State, cost the lives
Of four white policemen at the
hands of Africans armed with
rifles here last week.
At the bottom Of the trouble
was the stiff resistance by tribes
men to soil conversation measures.
Approximately 5000 natives are
quartered on the reservation, and
their wealth is additionally mea-
sured by the number of cattle
they own.
The government, seeking to halt
erosion of the soil due to over
stocking and overgrazing, began
cutting down the size Of the herds.
The natives, resenting this move,
finally went into open revolt. Po-
lice reinforcement had to be call
led from johannesburg and other
points to quell the outbreak.
