The civilian air traffic monitor
sits easily at his desk, watching
small colored lights blink across the
huge wall in front of him.
Suddenly there is a soft buzzing
sound. The monitor picks up one
of the nearby radio-telephones and
presses the tranSmitter button.
American flight 3d." he calls,
you are approaching the proximity
limit to Eastern flight 202. Eastern
is a 9,400 feet, heading zero-six-one,
speed 80. Do you have it?"
After a moments silence the loud
speaker cuts in again. This is
American flight %. We have East
ern 202 on our scope. Thank you"
With a possible emergency elm
mated, the monitor goes back to
surveillance of his board" a huge
projection of radar- computer in
formation. On the board can be
seen luminous indicators represent
ing every aircraft aloft within the
particular monitors zone. The COL
ored lights are commercial aircraft
red for northbound, blue for
eaStbound, and so on, and each
carries a small symbol to desig-
nate particular airline. The
white blinking lights are military
planes. The white steady lights are
private or non-scheduled craft.
The little lights move as the air.
craft move. Several attendants
keep track of each new light. They
identify it as it appears on the
board, and the monitor, by flicking
a switch, can verify the altitude,
course and speed of any planes in
his zone.
When one of the lights goes of
the board. 1t has then appeared on
the board of another monitor up
the line. Or, If the plane has en-
tered landing pattern at some
airport. its light will blink out
upon point Of touchdown.
When any aircraft approaches
within 100 seconds relative flying
distance Of an airborne commercial
liner. the parties are warned. This
supplements proximity devices on
the planes themselves which signal
the presence Of other aircraft.
Today, this is fictional picture.
The highly developed air traffic
control system described does not
exist.
But it. or something like it. may
exist in the not too-distant future.
Maybe three years, maybe 10. When
it does arrive. it can prevent such
tragedies as the recent United
TWA collision over the Grand
Canyon.
Scientists Soy It's Possible

fool-proof air trafflc-control sys-

the groundwork has already been
done. And many of the basic

canoe for an eventual automatic
air traffic-control system.
Early in 1857 a trial investiga-
ton of the Safety Beacon System
in relation to commercial aircraft
is scheduled to make its first APP
pearance. Focal points of the trial
will be Chicago. New York, Wash
ington and Norfolk.
-. A third area of scientific devel-
opment being investigated is the
Air Forces TRACALS, a system pri-
marily directed toward getting in
terceptor fighters safely back to
base.
TRACHLS stands for Traffic Con-
troll and Landing System. 1t is no
single cohesive plan but is rather a
broad inquiry into many possible
devices which might be woven into
single system that would take
control of any aircraft approaching
landing field and automatically
direct it to a safe touchdown.
One of the MAJOR elements of the
inquiry in its present state is
VOLSCAN, which signifies Volu-
metric Scanning system. Like
SAGE, this system is based on a
combination of radar and computer
techniqueS. 1t is a tracking unit
which provides information on the
exact position of an aircraft in
time" with respect to landing. 1t is
alleged to take automatic control of
approaching aircraft and land them
safely, up to 100 planes per hour.
Still another possible method of
aiding civilian air traffic may be
the so-called TACAN, or Tactical
Air Navigation system.
TACAN utilizeS Static-free omni-
directional radio signals. For a
number of reasons the civil oper-
atorS have not been enthusiastic
about it. But the systems friends
say its current version is much adj
vanced over earlier models.

may wait until after strike settle

being watched by Congress, many

Economists Are Nervous
For the economy generally, steel

Government economists would have

increasingly nervous.
But even the inevitable settle

left no doubt that it will pass along

steel price increases, with a 20
cents-an-hour wage increase re-

BY SIMON TUCKER

A number Of bills have been put
before the Congress to prevent the
Supreme Court from invalidating
segregated schools. Among these,
the bill by Representative Vinson,
Democrat of Georgia, takes a di-
rect approach of trying to reverse
the Supreme Courts 1854 deci-
sions outlawing educational seq
regation.
The Vinson bill declares that
decisions of the Supreme Court
which have stood for so years
may not be reversed. And it goes
back to cover any decision rendered
since January l. 1854. In this way,
it intends to invalidate the educa-
tional segregation decision on the
grounds that they reverse the Plessy
VS.. Ferguson decision of 1896.
Aside from constitutional attacks
that such an enactment may be
subject to. it faces another difficulty
in attaining its objective. That is:
Did the Supreme Court desegrega-
ton decisions of 1854 actually re-
verse precedent contained in the
PleSSy u.s. Ferguson decision?
The Plessy decision did not di-
rectly rule that segregated educa-
tional facilities might be proper
under the Fourteenth Amendment,
because it dealt with segregated
facilities in transportation.
1t is commonly believed, however,
that 1t laid down general princ-
pie which the Supreme Courts 1854
decision overturned.
Usual Stortine Point
Thus the Southern Manifesto
submitted to Congress by 1913
Southern legislators states what is
the usual beginning point of the
South's argument on segregation.
in the case of PleSSy Us. Ferguson
in 1896 the Supreme Court ex-
pressly declared that under the
Fourteenth Amendment no person
was denied any of his rights If the
States provided separate but equal
public facilities
The decision Of the Supreme
Court itself in 1854 referred to
PleSSy U.s. Ferguson as saying that;
Equality of treatment is accorded
when the races are provided sub
stantially equal facilities. even
though these facilities be separate
Strange to say. in view of this
common belief, there are no words
in the Plessy decision Saying that
equality Of facilities makes segre-
gated facilities acceptable as equal
treatment under the Fourteenth
Amendment.
