Switches Over to
Nautical Mile

WASHINGTON, R-Aviation

The quiet changeover follows
several years of bitter wrangling

While commercial airlines will
have to figure speed and distance
in knots and aeronautical miles,
airline aircraft, including pri-
vate pilots, may continue report
ing in the present terms of miles
and miles per hour if they wish.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration said it will normally give
information as to speed and dis
lance in ground and air commu-
nication in nautical units, but on
specific request also will transmit
them in statute units.
zone nautical, or geographical,
or sea, mile is equivalent to 1.1516
statute miles. The nautical mile
is taken as 6O8O.20 feet in the

with the most influential of his
members, meeting them fairly
but never pulling his punches.
His feud with Howard Hughes
dates back to 1910 when Hughes
was an independent and Breen
refused an exhibition seal to a
bawdy movie which catapulted
to notoriety as The Outlaw"
Ever since Hughes bought
RKO and became an official
member of the Motion Picture
Association, they have battled
relentlessly over Hughes insist
ence on slipping what were
termed lewdly offensive scenes
into his movies. Hughes has
never forgiven Breen and doubt
less would be happy to see
him go.
Sam Goldwyn is a strange fig
ure in the current rumpus. AL
ways in the past. Sam has been
known as conservative who
counseled caution and preserva-
ton of the codes ideals. His
sudden conversion to the rebel
ranks astonished many until they

vented him from closing the

story of a student at a boys
school who is wrongly accused
of sexual deviation. subject mat

and regarded as bad taste even
before the present code.
The secret" meeting of the
movie policy-makers easily could
have a reverberating effect on
the entire industry and it's re-
lations with the public. Should
there be any show of appease-
ment to Hughes and Goldwyn,
look for Joe Breen to step down.
He has never been known to
compromise when a morals issue
is at stake. That is why he has
proved such a successful admin
istrator.
Once before. in 1910, Breen
found his position intolerable.
The studio wolves were bowling
at him for more leeway. He
walked out then on five minutes
notice-and the industry was
might glad to get him back two
years later, at a fancy raise
and with more promises they

EGG TERMED NATURES
OWN NUTRIENT CAPSULE

''The egg is natures own nu-
TRENT capsule in the most con-
centrated FORM according to
Henry w. Garren, assistant re-
search professor of poultry sci
ence, N. c. State College.
Garren says that in addition to
vitamins A,D,G,B1 and BIZ, and
others, the egg is an excellent
source of protein, calcium, phos-
phorus and iron.
"The vitamins alone contained
in one egg are worth more in
human nutrition than the cost of
dozen eggs. Since all vitamins
and other nutrients have not been
isolated and identified, the egg
very probably contains more un-
identified factors essential to our
nutrition"
And for those on diets, the egg
serves another purpose, accord
ing to Garren. 'Since most of us
consume more calories than we
need, another advantage in eat
ing eggs is their low calorie con-
tent. An egg contains only about
SO calories."

again slow down the outward

will look for it and forget or

even the coolest winter and the

the trees of this Roanoke Island

the houses or your bedroom win

high and strong it is natural to
be afraid to some extent for it is
indeed part of the might of ma
