New Approach
 Lighting to Be Set Up at 37 Airports

WASHINGTON LR - The Fed eral Aviation Agency announced contract for the installation at 37 major airportS of a new airport approach lighting system designed to warn pilots if they are coming in at a dangerous angle.
 If the pilot is on the proper glide path to the airport, the nearest bar of light is seen as white and a second bar as red.
 If the planes approach is too low, both bars of light appear red. If the approach is too high, both bars are white.
 "Tests of the new lights and the operational installation at New York's LaGuardia Airport have shown that the new system promotes safety by reducing the dangers of understanding or over shooting the touchdown area" the FAA said.
 The agency estimated that since lllC DSllIS SctIl DC SCCli III OdJ lllIlC or under conditions of limited visibility, they can be used by pilots 95 per cent of the time throughout the year.
 Known as a visual glide slope indicator system, the lights were developed by the Royal Aircraft establishment the English counterpart of the FAA - and by Thorn Electrical Industries Ltd. of England, a Sylvania af- filiate.
 The FAA said the banks of lights are visible for about five miles in daylight and up to Is miles at night. Their use requires no special equipment in the planes.
 The agency said that while the final selection of airports for the new lighting has not been con- pleted, tentative list includes Anchorage and Bethel.

City of New Orleans, speeding

truck, with flames sweeping
the length of its nine cars.
Illinois Central authorities
