Star Staff Writer

NEW YORK, May "A
British scientist who developed
a glide slope" visual aid for
safer aircraft landing was hon.
ored here today as the worlds
foremost contributor to avia-
ton safety last year.
He is E. S. Calvert. principal
scientist in England's Royal
Aircraft Establishment.
Mr.. Calvert received the 1860
Monsanto Aviation Safety
Award from the Aviation Space
Writers Association for having
made the years most sig
nificant and lasting contribu-
ton to aircraft operation
safety"
He is the first man from
outside the United States to re-
ceive the award, established in
1857 by Monsanto Chemical Co
The presentation was made
by E. r. QueSada, former ad-
ministrator of the Federal
Aviation Agency, who received
the award last year.

Briton Receives Award
For Air Safety Device

Mr.. Calvert's landing aid.
which utilizes a system Of lights
to tell an approaching pilot his
correct direction and degree Of
glide, is in use at more than 100
major airports over the world.
In his acceptance Mr.. CAL
vert paid tribute to United
States Air Force Gen. Joseph
Caldara. He said, 1T is doubt
full whether we would have pur-
sued the idea as a matter of
urgency if it had not been for
some operational research done
by Gen. Caldara's group as early
as 1858.
His group investigated IA
million landings and showed
that a high proportion of the
accidents at landing were cue
to visual misjudgment in good
weather. AS soon as we saw
the statistics for this we real
ized that something had to be
done quickly If the civil jets
were to operate safely all ever

Air Force Fires Titan
From Hole in Ground
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf, May 4 (AP).-
The Air Force has launched its
first Titan missile from under
ground-a step it terms mile
stone in making the United
States too powerful to attack.
The titan, this country's big
gest missile, scared over the
Pacific yesterday. Then, far
at sea and high in the cloud
less sky, it was purposely de-
stroyed.
The test was to see if Titans
could be fired safely from silos
on hardened Sites-the Air
Force terminology for so-called
bombproof launching pads on
bombproof bases.
Withstands Pressures
The Air Force said the test
proved that Titans could stand
the tremendous preSSures-in-
cluding Furnishing sound waves
which arise from missile fir
ings underground.
Great billows Of flame rose
from the underground silo as
the countdown ended at Ill
pm, Pacific daylight time.
Then. with a thunderous roar,
the 98-foot, two-stage Titan
rose majestically from the 146-
foot deep hole.
1t climbed out of sight and
was blown up when it was about

Arbitration
Proposed in
Air Strike
BY the Associated Press

The Government today pro-
posed submitting issues in the
three day National Airlines
strike to binding arbitration.
The company Immediately ac-
cepted, but the union said it
would have to take a vote Of
its members.
Representatives of the Inter-
national Association of Ma
chinists agreed to put the arbi-
tration proposal up to its 1000
striking members in a ballot to-
morrow and Saturday. .
The arbitration proposal was
announced at a news confer
ence by Secretary of Labor
Goldberg and Francis A.
IO'Neill, jr.. chairman of the
National Mediation Board. .
Both said they thought the
arbltratlon method OF settling
the strike issues is q fair one.
They urged the union to accept
the settlement plan already
ratified and signed by National
AirlineS.
The strike has closed Ma
tional Airlines operations along
the east coast from Boston to
Miami and west to Houston.
The carrier normally operates
about ITS flights daily.
Under the settlement plan
some operations would be re-
sumed Immediately upon union
ratification and full operations
resumed, by agreement, within
a week.
Nathan P. Feinsinger, UNI
versity of Wisconsin professor,
would arbitrate the dispute
under the settlement proposal.

Engineer Says Design
Doomed Sea Tower

Leon B. DeLong, a pioneer in
underwater engineering, said
today the techniques and de-
sign for the Texas tower radar
station which collapsed into the
ocean came pretty close to
booming it" from the start.
Mr.. DeLong, chairman of the
board Of the New York firm OF
DeLong Construction Corp,
said his company refused to
have anything to do with the
project under the conStruc-
ton terms set forth by the
Navy.
He testified at a Senate

Subcommittee inquiry into the
collapse of the tower IS miles

uary IS. All % men stationed

aboard died when the tower
fell. Mr.. DeLong said his firm
refused to:
/. Use horizontal bracing be-
tween the tower legs at points
where wave action could exert
strong forces.
2. Use pin connections instead
of welding.
3. Employ the technique of
up-ending the long-legged
tower at sea and mating it
there to its platform.
In bidding on construction
Of the tower, Mr.. DeLong said
his firm proposed an alternate
plan, which was rejected, to
meet design requirements but
allow the company to use its
own construction and inStalla-
ton techniques.

Paint the ceiling the blue

the chests painted white with

NAACP Membership
Is Badge OF Honor

The NAACP needs more card
carrying members
Last year some $4,000 Cleveland
ers, a considerable proportion of
them white, we're proud to display
the Badge of Honor" that an
NAACP membership card has
come to represent.
This sort of active support of
the NAACP is fine, but in a city
that boasts a population approach
ing one million. of whom more
than $50, 900 are Negroes, it is hard
ly cause for resounding cheers.
1t indicates that while a few
keep oiling the wheels of freedoms
machinery, a great many are con-
tent to be free-loaders.
The special campaign commit
tee in charge of this years Annual
Membership Drive for the Cleve-
land Branch NAACP hopes to in
crease this grasSroots support a.
mong Clevelanders by at least an
additional 5000 citizens. They have
set their campaign goal at $1,000
members, and with the early days
of the campaign behind them, they
are fighting with their backs to the
wall against failure.
This is particularly ironic since
never before in its history has the
Cleveland Branch turned in a bet
ter record in the program of Ne
gro advancement.
During 1960-61 the Cleveland
Branch has more than ever be-
fore become a branch with a mill
tant posture. It's hard-hitting exc
cutive secretary and small staff,
bolstered by the volunteer efforts
of members, have brought the i'm
pact of the NAACP program into
virtually every area of Cleveland
community life.
Among the many things the
Branch has accomplished, are:
1. Conducted "Job Crusade"
that has produced many new jobs
not previously held by Negroes.
2. Acted as a housing watchdog
to protect right of families moving
into new areas.
3. Offered legal assistance to all
families faced with legal problems
over entry into new neighborhoods.
A. Began comprehensive study of
the Cleveland public school system,
with a special eye of discrimination
in curricula and classroom accO-
modations.
5. Filed several significant re-
ports of discrimination with the
Ohio Civil Rights Commission.
6. Worked on public health prob
lens by helping to keep E. 35th
street Clinic open, and secured
open-policy statement in all de-
partments of Doctors Hospital.
7. Launched a frontal attack on
Cleveland banks in both employ
ment and lending policies.
All of which may not be as
