Aviation Safety Discussions
 D. M. Gretzer
fGr The Office of Aviation Safety

Steering Trouble
 A series of accidents in the new four place type of light air planes shows a definite gap in pilot training. The accidents are due to loss of directional control during take-off It ap- pears that the student pilots learn to fly them light, when the performance is amazing, compared with older planes. The tail gets well up in the air, and the airplane is off the ground almost before the pilot knows ii.
 But the accidents are occur ring with full loads. This is un- fair 10 thG passengers who are beng used for ballast. Appar- ently the pilots force the tail up too soon and shen lose di- rectional control before the air plane has enough air speed for effective rudder control.
 These airplanes are equipped with steerable tail wheels. The tail wheel should be left on the ground until q controlling air speed IS reached. When this is done, there will be no gap be- tween positive ground control Of direction through the tail wheel, and positive air control of direction through the rudder.
 Flight instructors are urged to add ballast to the seats dur ing the training period so that the student will be familiar with the full load performance of the airplane.
 We are passing the word along to all flight examiners to re- quire airplanes to be loaded to maximum gross weights when ever flight tests are given.
 Pilot Limitations
 A newly certificated commer- cial pilot should be just as safe a pilot as a 5000 hour veteran, but he is not as useful. He is safe so long as he flies under conditions appropriate to his ex perlence level and knows his limitations.
 Now and then we receive reports of bad crashes out in the Wide-open tundra. If there is a survivor to tell the tale, the answer is always the same, the pilot was circling moose or wolf at a low altitude and lost control of the airplane. They never repeat this perfrmance, the lesson either kills them or cures them. But why learn the hard way? It has been demon strated over and over again that low turns near the ground, for one reason or another cause the pilot to fly at his worst. A bad accident is the expected, not the unexpected. September took its toll in this type of accident.
 The deadline for airman iden- cards has been extend ed 10 Dec. IS. 1851.

-Four World Powers
Argue for Hour
Over Toy Boat
By the Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria, Mar. 9.-Fou1
solemn representatives of the
major world powers argued for
an hour about whether Austria
can have a 3-foot toy boat. The
West said she could, but the
Russians were suspicious.
The Allied Control Council Ex-
ecutive Committee had the argu-
ment last Friday night. The news
was disclosed today. An Austrian
commercial firm wanted to ex-
hibit a model of a remote control
ship at a fair opening here Sun
day.s The United States, Britain
and France said to go ahead
Not so the Russians.
1t says in four-power rules, the
Russians pointed out, that the
Austrians can't have any device
emitting radio waves. The Rus
slams wanted to inspect the toy
because all naval rearmament
begins with construction of mod.
els"
The others didn't like it-ano
lit didn't sound dignified-but they
had to agree to send a subcom-
miGtee to inspect the toy. The
subcommittee dutifully set out tx
do this. But the firm told it:
"You took so long, it's too late
now. FORGET it.'

Economist Recalled
For Questioning on
Reds Contributors
By L. Edqor Primo

Sources of financial aid to tie
Communist Party today were uil-
der renewed scrutiny by the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities following its disclosure Of
an alleged list of secret contrib
Iutors to the Reds. which includes
some. top Hollywood names.
Lement c. Harris, agricultural
economist, who has been branded
one of Stains key agents" by
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, has been recalled
for questioning on the identity of
persons donating funds to Com
munist fronts.
Refuses to Answer.
The committee last week inter-
rogated Mr.. Harris, whom it list.d
as chief of the Communist Par+y's
national farm commission, but he
refused to answer pertinent ques-
tions on the grounds of possible
self determination.
The alleged list of Hollywood
contributors was disclosed yester-
day during questioning of V. J..
jerome of New York, reported
head of the Communist Party's
cultural commission and said by
the committee to have helped or
ganize Red groups in the film
capital.
Mr.. Jerome was asked name by
name" about the individuals and
their alleged contributions in an
executive session following his tes-
timony in public. According to
committee members, he asserted
he did not know whether "four or
five" persons, including the movie
actor, Edward G. Robinson. were
party members. but he refused to
answer on all others.
Silent on 100 Queries.
Jerome told us plenty by what
he didn't say" Representative
Potter, Republican, of Michigan,
commented. a#
Earlier, the witness, who is
Polish-born and a naturalized
citizen, refused to answer more
than 100 questions on communism
and Red activities on the grounds
of possible Standardization.
Most of the queries involved Red
groups or individuals in Holly
wood.

MIR. Johnston, meanwhile, moved
to relax wage controls through the
issuance of three orders affecting
small part of the total work
force - an estimated $50 900
persons
The first okays "cost-of living"
pay raises until next June 80
even though they aren't provided
for in a collective bargaining
contract. (Mr. Johnston had
already approved such raises
when provided for in contracts.)
The new order, however, gives
permission only in cases where
the employer put the plan in
writing and told the employees
about it before January 25.
The second wage order sets up
procedures for establishing wage
rates in new plants opened later
than last January Is.
The third order permits retro
active pay raises for groups of
workers presumably including
white-collar employees of coal
mining companies-who normally
would have gotten raises between
January Is and February 9 as a
result of raises allowed certain
other groups during that period.
Unionized coal miners got a raise
on February l under a contract
agreed to before January 25. but
the white-collar people (who
normally are given raises when
ever the unionized miners get
one) were frozen out at that time
by the wage freeze.

Important Message
From U. s. Holds Up
Fifth Paris Session
By Eddy Gilmore
Associated Press foreign Correspondent

Nssoe'o'eo rtess rote'9h correspondent
PARIS. Mar. 9.-The big power
foreign ministers deputies went
into their fifth session today amid
reports an important message was
received by the American delega-
ton from Washington.
The deputies, trying to find out
whether a top-level Big Four con-
ference can be held on interna-
tional tension. were 20 minutes
late in starting. Informed sources
said this was because DR.. Philip
Jessup, the American deputy, was
awaiting a message from the
United States Capital, and OBJ
servers said it must have been an
important one to have caused him
to delay the session..
The session opened in an at
mosphere of GUINNESS, brought
about by the words of Soviet Dep
uty Andrei Gromyko, who has
made 1t appear that the chances
of hammering out an agreement
on the agenda for the foreign
ministers have lessened consider
ably.
Statements Show Pessimism.
This pessimism was reflected in
the statements of Western officials
when asked what they thought of
the chances of agreeing on a list
Of discussion topics.
Yesterday" said an American
official, Il had the feeling there
was some small chance we might
fit one up. Today I feel we have
even less chance. We are miles
and miles apart"
Commented a French official:
From what French Delegate
Alexandre) Parodi said at the be-
ginning of the session, it seemed
we were going ahead a little, but
when Gromyko began speaking it
seemed we were going backwards. +"
II suppose" he added with
sigh, I'VE must be tremendously
patient"
Most observers feel little has
been achieved at any of the dep
uties' sessions so far, but many
cling to the hope that some kind
of agenda will be agreed upon
and that the foreign ministers
meeting may still be arranged.
Wrangling Marks Session.
Yesterdays session lasted four
and half hours and was devoted
mostly to wrangling. Highlight of
the meeting was DR.. Jessup's ac-
cusation that Russia is fomenting
the current armament race. He
declared any Western move to dis
arm now would alarm the free
people of the world.
However, DR.. Jessup said, he
did not think the Russians and
the Western powers were too far
apart on general subjects for the
agenda. He suggested that an
other approach to putting these
down on paper might help.
Mr.. Gromyko, on the other
hand, said the Russians could
never accept the Western agenda.
The Western delegates have said
time and time again they cannot
agree to the Soviet agenda in its
present form.
