Work Continues © on Rome's 1942 Fair; Opera Houses Plan Programs.

ROME, Sept. 13 (U. P) —Premier Benito Mussolini, who several times has said that preparations for Rome's 1942 world's fair are proof

of Italy's peaceful intentions, today | issued special orders to assure that|

work on the fair will continue without slackening.

Other activities regarded by ob-|

gervers as significant included a government order to remove inscriptions not flattering to England The anti-British inscriptions had been painted on the walls of houses in workers’ quarters during imposition of sanctions against Italy in her 1835-38 war against Ethiopia. Dino Alfieri, Minister of Popular Culture, attended a meeting of directors of opera houses and theaters throughout the countrv at which it was decided to hold normal programs this winter despite the European war.

Here's how the new blind landing system now being tested at Municipal Airport helps a pilot land his

plane when visibility is bad.

At the left is one of the four outer markers.

There is one on each of the

four sides of the airport, about two miles from the field. When the pilot crosses the vertical radio signal sent by the outermarker, a blue light flashes on his instrument board, warning him to drop to 600 feet. Then he follows the glide path until the beam from the inner marker lights an amber lamp in the plane,

indicating he is at 60 feet.

Blue Light Ready He said when the plane crossed the outer marker, a couple of miles from the airport a blue light would flash on and he would hear in his earphones a steady buzz-buzz-buzz signal. This told him to drop to 600 feet. The pilot then picked up a large metal sheet and placed it on the window in front of him. He was “blacked out” as pilots flying the scheduled airlines frequently are by “zero-zero”' weather conditions. The blue light went on, throttled down, lost altitude the altimeter said exactly “600.” He then pulled, dropped and twisted to bring the needles in proper relation The plane kept dropping.

The plane was at 60 feet over the inner marker at the boundary of the field, dropping for a landing Pilot Howard pulled up a bit, then side slipped a little to bring one ‘wandering’ needle back in line.
