sweet odor above meadows and
the aromatic smell of pine for

If they weren't he argued,
such quantities of combustible
material would, in the course
of millions of years, have &C
cumulated into an explosive
mixture in the skies.
Heavier Than SmOg
DR.. Went figures the worlds
plants release ITS million tons
of volatile material into the
air every year, compared with
20 million tons released as
man-made "Smog."
AS to possible effects on the
weather from the plant-caused
haze, DR.. Went says the tiny
particles might be the most
effective source of condensa-
ton nuclei contributing to
cloud formation at intermedi-
ate heights These nuclei are
needed to produce rain.
Concerning the possible role
of the haze as a plant growth
regulator, he said, for exam
pie, that certain varieties of
tobacco are affected by a So
called weather fleck" which
occurs under conditions that
produce dense heat haSes in
the atmosphere.

FAA TESTING
New Robots
ForLundinq
. BY the Associated Press

The Federal Aviation Agency
is testing a system which re-
portedly can land two airplanes
a minute. fully automatically
and under almost any weather
conditions.
The developers of the sys-
tenn, Bell Aircraft Corp. OF
Buffalo. NJ Y, see it as a means
to eliminate the stacking of
aircraft over busy airports when
weather bars or severely handi-
caps visual landings.
The FAA tests being con-
Quoted at the National Avia-
ton Facilities Experimental
Center at Atlantic City, N. j.,
are expected to last six months.
Bell claims the device has
successfully carried out more
than 1000 landings of various
airplanes, including the Boeing
7O7 commercial jet and the Air
Force BAT jet bomber. Some
of the landings have been on
aircraft carrier decks.
The system, designed pri-
marily for military use, con-
slsts Of an operations trailer
which houses the electronic
controls. two radar screens, two
radar antennas and a power
trailer. For use at commercial
airportS, the controls would be
housed in the control tower
with only the radar screens on
the field.
To land a plane. the track-
ing radar locks on" the auto
matte pilot system when the
aircraft flies through an cleo
tronic window or gate two to
four miles frCm the end of the
runway. From there on, there
is fully automatic hands off"
control through approach and
touchdown although the pilot
can resume control at any time.
If the rate of descent or ap-
proach course is not correct.
the system gives an automatic
wave off" A similar auto
matte wave off" is given if a
second airplane threatens to
overtake the first in a landing
pattern.
Bell claims that its system,
unlike others, requires no COM
plex electronic equipment in
the plane to be landed.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
is reported to have warned he
will insist the Western allies
leave West Berlin-regardless
of any concession they may
offer to Russia's views on dis
armament.
Mr.. Khrushchev is under
stood to have emphasized his
view strongly to Italian Presi-
dent Giovanni Gronchi during
their talks in Moscow nearly
three weeks ago.
The italian government has
given its main allies a report
on the Gronchi-K -Khrushchev
conversations. which were cli-
NAKED by a public row between
them at a Moscow reception.
Mr.. Gronchi and his advisers
were not cowed by Mr.. Khru-
shchev's harsh language. At a
farewell diplomatic reception,
Italian Foreign Minister Gui-
seppe Pella fatty told Mr..
Khrushchev that Italy could
not agree with the Soviets on
Berlin.
TOughness Displayed
The overall impression of
allied diplomats is that Mr..
Khrushchev demonstrated anew
that he is in a tough nego-
tiating mood in advance of
the scheduled East-West sum-
nit meeting May Is.
Mr.. Khrushchev is reported
to have accused the West of
seeking to stall a settlement
of the Berlin problem in
deflnitely-the same line he
took in a talk with Llewellyn
Thompson, United States Am
bassador. on New Years eve.
In seeking to warn that this
strategy would fail, Mr.. Khrush-
chev, in effect, said the West
could not buy time or convince
him to abandon his Berlin pro-
Evening star., 1960-02-23
Attitude Analysed

AS ne has done before, Mr..
Khrushchev insisted anew that
two GermanyS- Western and
EaStern-Were now a historical
fact which allied policy could
not change except with Soviet
agreement.
Diplomatic authorities, seek
ing to assess the significance Of
Mr.. Khrushchev's words, view
it as another sign that the
summit conference may fail
to alter the Berlin deadlock.
On the other hand, some Of
ficialS believe Mr.. Khrushchev
talked tough to Mr.. Gronchi
and others as a pre-summit
maneuver.
Two factors could have in
fluenced him to use blunt Ian
guage with Mr.. Gronchi:
One, he was stung by sug-
gestion that Mr.. Gronchi re-
layed from West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
that the Berliners vote on
Russia's proposal to make West
Berlin a so-called free city. Mr..
Khrushchev scornfully rejected
this.
And two, Mr.. Khrushchev
undoubtedly was irritated to
find Mr.. Gronchi as firm in
backing the Atlantic Alliance
as are other allied leaders. Mr..
Khrushchev presumably had
been hoping that Mr.. Gronchi,
leader of the left-wing in the
Italian Christian Democratic
Party, would be softer.

Mr.. Khrushchev is reported
to have described his oft
rejected proposal to make West
Berlin a free city as a magnani-
nous gesture on his part.
This was his absolute mini
mum, he claimed, and the West
must recognize that the time
has come TO end the postwar
occupation of the Western
