+ Here's a tip! The price of woolen clothing will

be higher this fall. This warning was given to Indianapolis and Indiana clothiers yesterday by Quin Goldman, trade relations representative of the Botany Worsted Mills. Mr. Goldman was the principal speaker at the . joint convention luncheon of the Mep’s Apparel Club, Inc, and the Retail Clothiers and Furnishers Association of Indiana at the Claypool Hotel. “Woolens will be 35 to 40 cents a yard higher next fall than this spring,” Mr. Goldman told the clothiers, .“and you're going to have to make up your minds to pay more for the same quality or pay the same price and get less quality.”

IHAILS SCIENCE'S “AIDS TO FLYING

Expert Cites Extensive Use Of Safety Devices as Airmen Meet Here.

. By SAM TYNDALL Instruments of science are cutting down the human factor in fiy-

ing to a point where the human error may, in the not far distant future, become negligible, Maj. R. W. Schroeder, who devotes his energies to studying causes of airline accidents, said. here today. Maj. Schroeder now is vice president of -United Airlines, and is chairman of the operations committee of the Air Transport Association of America which is meeting here to inspect the latest instrument navigation aids—radio instrument and runway light landing and approach systems. ‘The operations committee, composed of heads of 18 airlines, opened its first session at the Municipal Airport to outline proposals for simplification of Federal airway safety regulations now in effect.

Studied Airliner Wrecks

One-time holder of the world’s altitude record, Maj. Schroeder has in the past spent literally days climbing through wooded mountain trails to the scenes of fatal injury airline crashes—those you read about in blazing headlines every now and then. He has inspected the wreckage personally. It might have been one of those “beyond the knowledge of man” accidents but in most cases when the airlines were struggling to find the facts of safety, it was darkness, bad weather, combined with the human factor which were the causes. Since its days the air transport industry has come a long way, Maj. Schroeder said, and at the present time can boast 700-million

- |passenger miles without injury to

anyone. \ Make Extensive Tests

The reason is, “that the human factor is being instrumentalized out of existence,” he said. The human error is being given more margins of safety. The pilot, through instruments of science, is being given an “out” for every procedure—spare fuel, spare engines, spare airports and spare instruments. The constant search by the air transport - industry for more aids from science is the reason the chief pilots and operations managers of 21 commercial airlines are at the Municipal Airport today. They believe they have found the “missing link” in flight safety, the use in combination of the radio instrument. approach system with powerful “controlled intensity” runway lights to bring a pilot safely down in “zero-zero” weather conditions. The radio instrument system has been approved by the Federal Government and is to be installed for service-testing in 10 other airports throughout the country, but the air transport industry will inspect the lights in combination with the radio

way for nation-wide adoption of the “blind” landing systems. . With the practical operation of such a “blind” landing system, lines will be able to keep schedules that they don’t even attempt in bad weather now, Maj. Schroeder said. Maj. Schroder, who tries to keep his hand constantly on the pulse of the public in regard to flying, said he believes the public is “begging | to accept flying for the first Lt e.” He said he believes this. because the younger generation which “has never been without airplanes are the business men and women of today. They are the ones that are using the airlines.” The older persons, who never have quite gotten used to air travel, will soon be giving ‘away to this younger airminded public.” The most ardent and frequent users of airline service are young Businessmen and women, said Maj. | gent Schroeder. -

Political ‘Experts Declare Montanan Has Gained Stréngth Last Month.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special: Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—If Mr. Farley is right in his renewed certainty that President Roosevelt will not be a third-term candidate, then the Democrat to watch ‘is Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. The position of every other candidate has been weakened by the hide-and-seek tactics of the President, who can now get the nomination for himself if he wants. it. Burt Wheeler is the only field candidate who is stronger today than a month

ago. Whether James A. Farley is correct in his assumption that the President won’t run, however, is a very big if. Most Washington poli-

{ticians are not so sure. It is gener-

ally admitted that the President is acting like a candidate, whatever he may -or. may not have told the Democratic National Chairman, Postmaster ‘General and former Roosevelt manager. The consensus here is that the President is working: ph and successfully for a “draft Roosevelt” convention in case he does decide to run. But there is no agreement as to what his final decision will be.

Three May Do Selecting Some, at least, of those closest to the President are convinced he has not made up his mind. They think that if the convention were tomorrow he would not run. But the changing foreign situation, which fascinates himr almost to the exclusion of everything else, could easily convince him of his “duty” to remain in the White House. His dispatch of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles to Europe as his personal roving representative isnot unconnected with this. So—despite Mr. Farley’s entry in the Massachusetts Presidential primary on the reported assurhnce of the President that a third-term is out—Washington still thinks that a Roosevelt renomination is a 50-50 bet. Senator Wheeler, at the moment, is the second-best bet after the President. His chances are based on the probability that the convention (if the President decides not to run) will be deadlocked between New Dealers and Garnercrats, and that a compromise candidate must

a large bloc of delegates and he may have balance of power—as he had when he threw the 1932 nomination to Mr. Roosevelt.

Wheeler Rare Candidate Thus, if a compromise candidate is chosen, the three men who will do the choosing—along with a few state machine bosses like Frank' Hague of Jersey City and Mayor Kelly of Chicago—will be these: Messrs. Roosevelt, Garner and Farley. And the choosing, if it were today, would be among Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Administrator Paul V. McNutt and Senator Wheeler. Chairman Farley would name Mr. Hull. “The President probably would agree, but the Vice President would oppose Mr. Hull. Mr. Roosevelt might name Mr. McNutt, and might not. Anyway, Chatman Farliey would try to veto

Then probably the Vice President would name Senator Wheeler. There is no evidence now that either the President or Mr. Farley would make a last-ditch fight against him. Possibly by that time the President might be the first to support him. The reason for Burt Wheeler's growing strength is because he is trusted by both liberals and conservatives, labor and capital. In these days of broken friendships, when mutual distrust. is the commonest political commoditiy, any any candidate who has the confidence of John Garner and John Lewis at the same time is worth watching. He is a rare candidate in any language.
