Serious Problem Os Air Safety Facing Nation . t

By ROBERT I. SERLING United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP'—The aviation industry and the federal government are engaged in a massive assault on the air safety problems resulting from growing congestion of the airways. It is a grim race between fast-i expanding air traffic and development of new methods to control that traffic safety. The goal is two-fold: —To plug some of the bigger loopholes in the present air traffic control system, which is two decades behind the times. —To establish a new control system that will handle not only current traffic, but also will be adequate for the age of jet transportation — less than two years away. The first goal appears to be more difficult than the second. A commercial airliner takes off or lands in the United States every five seconds. The job of protecting that kind of traffic volume with makeshift, stopgap methods is tougher than long-range planning for airways of the future. The loophole - plugging action consists mainly of a 246-million-

dollar program for partial modernization of the air traffic control system. It is under the direction of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which already has compressed it from an original fiveyear project to three years. In addition, CAA has asked Congress for more money, including 132 million dollars for a radar navigation and communications system called "Vortac.” The Emergency Program With its initial 246-miUion-dollar authorization, CAA is buying: —Surveillance radar to speed up approaches and landings at 70 airports. Forty now have such equipment. —Precision approach radar and instrument landing systems for 191 airports. —Surface radar detectors for 70 airports—equipment which enables control towers to monitor and speed up ground traffic. —New approach lights and improved runway lighting for more than 200 airports. Even this emergency program, however, is too far in the future to handle traffic of today, next week or even six months from now. And under the prodding of the airlines, the military and the pilots' union, CAA is now taking a look at its own operations to see if it can utilize more efficiently the procedures and equipment it already has. Recently, a special committee composed of representatives from the airlines, armed forces, CAB, CAA and the Air Line Pilots Assn, studied air traffic control operations at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. • Manual Control System The group found that in one 30day period, scheduled flights in and out of LaGuardia were delayed a total of 850 hours. The committee recommended certain procedural changes and personnel instruction. In the next 30 days, under almost identical weather and traffic conditions, delays at LaGuardia were cut to 230 hours. The basic trouble with the air

traffic control system is that the 26 control centers must keep track of some 3.000 daily flights with an I archaic manual system. As each instrument flight moves from one Controlled air space to another, a controller passes a slip of paper representing that flight to a second controller. He stacks the slip on a rack in front of him. It is his job to keep all hfs slips properly spaced so there is no danger of collision. This manual system of "slippassing” becomes an almost superhuman task in bad weather and in heavy traffic moving in and out of airports. And this is where the plans for the future come in. They are being blueprinted by two special government groups. All-Electronic Control From their reports will come the major solutions for the air traffic problem. Their contents are still secret, but it is known ‘that they will call for all-eleetronic Control of air traffic through the following means: —Long-range radar to enable control centers to monitor the movements of all aircraft. —Long-range radar to enable control centers to monitor the movements of all aircraft — com mercial, private and military. —Giant electronic brains which will take the place of the present manual system of traffic control. Into thesf brains will be fed the various flight plans filed by pilots and approved by control centers. The brains then would automatically compute commercial flight paths so airliners would arrive at destinations at exactly the right moment to avoid “stacking.” Any variance from original flight plans, such as a pilot reporting delay because of a balky engine, would automatically ,be fad into the brains which ftould promptly set up a new flight path. —Communication recording devices for cockpits, so that pilots will not be distracted by the heavy volume of verWM reports that now take place between control towers and planes in flight. Experts ' say an all-electronic system is badly needed for the air traffic of today. When the giant jets start flying, it will become an absolute ‘must.” Next: Are modern planes built safely: Why do new planes develop mysterious "bugs?” Final Lent Vesper At Lutheran Church The children of the primary choir will sing this evening as Zion Lutheran church, West Monroe street and Eleventh, concludes its Wednesday evening Lent vespers. Two services will be conducted, at 7 and 8:15 o’clock. The services will be identical, except for the special music -The. primary choir will appear at the early vesper, singing, “There is a green hill far away,” and “Glory be to Jesus.” Karl Reinking and the Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt, pastor of the church, will sing a duet at the late vesper. The duet is from the Lenten cantata, “The Curcifixion," by Sir John Stainer, entitled, “So fhou liftest Thy divine petition.’* Rev. Schmidt will continue his series of Lenten sermons on the general theme: “He was wounded for our trangressions.” The topic tonight is: “They nail His hands and feet to the Cross," John 19. 1618. This series will be concluded next week at the Good Friday vesper, beginning at 7 o’clock. Each vesper tonight will be preceded by a concert of hymns on the Carillonic bells by Donald Biebercih. church organist and carilloneur. The public is invited to attend either vesper. .

McLeod Is Nominated As Envoy Ireland Senators Planning Intensive Queries WASHINGTON (UP) — Some Democratic senators Wednesday planned intensive questioning of Scott McLeod, President Eisenhower’s nominee for ambassador to Ireland, when his nomination is considered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They indicated they particularly want to question McLeod, administrator of the State Department bureau of security and consular affairs, on his offices role in events leading up to the furor over Canadian Diplomat E. Herbert Norman, who committed suicide in Cairo. Egypt, last week. Eisenhower sent McLeod's nomination to the Senate Tuesday. Although there was no immediately announced opposition, several senators said they were reserving

$255 Realized From Monmouth Fish Fry About $255 was raised by the Monmouth band parents organization at the recent fish fry held at Monmouth high school. This money will be used to purchase additional uniforms for the school band. It was announced that about 600 people attended the event, which win become an annual project of the band parents organization. The committees in charge have expressed appreciation to all of those who helped make the fish fry a success. ( x judgment until after McLeod’s appearance before the committee. No date was set to consider the nomination. McLeod is now in Geneva, Switzerland, representing this country at a meeting of the inter-governmental committee for European migration. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (DMinn.), a committee member, told reporters, “Os course, we’ll want a general review of his administration of the refugee program,

security matters, and so forth." Also Humphrey said, "there are many questions that need to be asked about the matter” of the Norman incident. Humphrey said he understood that McLeod’s deputy, Robert F. . Cartwright, gave the Senate Internal Security subcommittee an okay to make public testimony in which Subcommittee Counsel Robert Morris said Norman had former Communist connections. The incident stirred protests in Canada that grew angry and latter after Norman’s suicide. Canadian ambassador A.D.P. Heeney conferred with State Department officials Tuesday for the second time about the case. Humphrey said the department's reported approval of release of Morris’ statement was “a lack of diplomacy and an unfortunate disregard of courtesies between this nation and our great friend, Canada." .
