Spinning Top" To Replace Human Pilot
chiId's toy revealed guided missile problem

lake good look at the next pilot
you see-it won't be many years be-
fore he's as extinct as the dodo bird.
The farther our scientists delve into
the supersonic era, the faster man
recedes from the picture. The human
body just can't cope with the speed
and violence of aircraft now on the
drawing boards
Who then, or what, will pilot these
airborne lightning bolts? The answer,
for military planes at least, is the
gyroscopic pilot-a mechanical de-
vice which will guide plane or fly
ing missile unerringly to any target
on earth. 1t will do this in any kind
of weather despite any measures the
enemy may take to interfere, short
of shooting the plane out of the sky.
That's the prediction of Arthur v.
Sommer, Senior Engineer Of the Gyro
Section of the Arma Corporation, one
of the worlds leading manufacturers
Of high-precision instruments.
Pilot Now the Limit
The new speed and violence that
has been created in conquering the
sonic barrier-and we're already
well into the supersonic era-has out
stripped and outpaced the human
ability to pilot the new aircraft,
says Mr.. Sommer, in the December
issue of AERO DIGEST, technical
magazine of the aviation industry
1.-The military cannot be limited ir
aircraft development by pilot short
comings."
AS an example of these human
deficiencies, Mr.. Sommer cites the
case of two supersonic aircraft, trav'
elling at twice the speed of sounc
coming out of a cloud. They are or
a collision course, mile and hal
apart. Even though the human pilot:
were looking directly at each other
their nerve systems would not op'
crate fast enough for them to se'
each other before they hit head on
Thusly he demonstrates that the gar
between the capabilities Of the air
craft and the attributes of the hu
man pilot is even now an ever-wid
ening void.
Nayigators to Go Too
Beside performing the mechanic
of flying, the gyroscopic pilot offer

You can make a big, long-burn-

cardboard containers and remold.
Use ice cream cartons, oatmeal

MIR. Robert F. Stevens. Exten-

leaders who were present received
many ideas which they will take

To meet the day-to-day needs of

The Treasury sold more than
81 billion worth of it's shortest

blamed the scarcity of investment
money in the banking system for
the declines.

upward, but bond market strength

Weeks S High Output
And Good Business
Give Economy Bloom
By Richard Fiske
Associated Press Business Wiiter

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-Good
business. high production and still
more optimistic forecasts gave this
Nations economy healthy bloom
this week.
The Thanksgiving holiday cut
into the weeks output. But the
daily rate of production remained
at record or near record levels.
Many plants closed through the
week end. Employers were little
reluctant to take this step but
they said worker absenteeism is
usually heavy after a Thursday
holiday.
Auto Output Slows.
For instance, the auto industry
was slowed down sharply by the
holiday and many automobile
factories closed through Friday
and Saturday. Total assemblies in
United States and Canadian
plants dropped to 117.700 cars and
trucks from 1924 in the pre-
ceding week.
Industry circles in Detroit said
unless more materials and man
power troubles intervene, this
years output appears certain to
hit 4,350,000 units, the total al
lowed by the national authority.
Good news was pretty common
commodity this week. There was
a little disappointment over retail
sales, which haven't quite meas
ured up to expectations. For the
week ended Wednesday total dol
lar volume was estimated un-
changed to 4 per cent above a
year ago.
Merchants Hopeful.
Trade sources attributed some of
the disappointment to unseason-
able weather and some to an ap-
parent belief that many consumers
anticipate a little give in prices.
Most merchants, however, were
reported still holding the belief
that Christmas sales will establish
record highs. Gains in personal
income helped sustain their hopes.
Unemployment was lower than
at any time in the past seven
years, according to the Guaranty
Trust Co. of New York. In some
industries it was tough getting
additional help.
