Accurate Aircraft
Control System

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 4
@.-Development of automatic
control system SO accurate they
may be used as transitions be-
tween piloted bombers and in
tercontinental missiles was an
nounced yesterday by Convair.

other planes.
The General Dynamics Corp.

times as accurate as any others
presently in operation. Convair
said the automatic systems were
developed by a Convair and

those on horseback totaled more
than those of the scheduled do
mestic and international airlines.
These accidents did not involve
motor vehicles.
In the same period, 800 more
people were killed by street cars
than in airline accidents. Street.
car accidents involve vehicles in
motion operating on rails on city
streets, and deaths include those
persons killed getting on or of.
The total of nearly 1900 deaths

'Copter Travel Safe
In six years of scheduled
helicopter passenger service in
Europe and the United States,
there has never been q single
passenger fatality.
Slightly over 100 ground per-
sonnet have been killed in general
aviation accidents in 10 years.
More people are killed on bicy-
cleS, animal drawn vehicles or
on horseback in one year than
the total 10 year aviation
fatality list.
Deaths from water craft acct
dents. including drownings, have
been almost double those from
general aviation accidents for
the past four years and are con-
siderably higher than in the 10
year period from 1916 to 1855.
Total water accident deaths:
10,400: total general aviation
accident deaths: $3.50.
Motor vehicles have been the
principle cause of accidental
deaths for the past seven years,
falls come second and drownings
third. The annual death rate in

In 10 years from 1947, airline

For domestic scheduled all
