BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Writer “NEw YORK, Sept. 12. — Strikes . #ince V-J day have cup PullmanStandard Manufacturing Co, production of railroad passenger cars by approximately 70 per cent. “Through August, the company was able to deliver only 185 cars against a schedule of almost 600. Yet Pull-man-Standard has not had a single / reconversion-period strike in La ' passenger-car division. The paradox illustrates and, /emphasizes the argument that, Sman"hours lost” in strikes is not a true yardstick by which to measure the damage done by strikes, Without being complete or final, it does cast light on at least one reason why; a year after Japan's capitulation, they United States is so far from achieving satisfactory production of consumer goods.

By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Writer MACARTHUR FIELD, N. Y, Sept. 12.—Fog and airplane travel safety do not mix, but the time is coming when they will. It may come within 18 months when the big commercial airliners can land and take off in the worst kind of visibility conditions. At. least a step in that direction was demonstrated at this former top secret army airfield when a fourengined DC-4 commercial plane was brought over .a runway, ready for landing, by a new robot pilot, Operates From Beams This new thing in aviation science is the Sperry electronic gyropilot, which operates from beams sent from transmitters at an airport. Tried -out yesterday for the first time on a commercial airliner, the gyropilot took over contrals qf the big plane, brought it into the airfield on a graceful glide, lowered it at 300 feet per minute ta within {10 feet or so of the runway.
