Immediately an air- lane takes off, its identity, passenger, ist. quantity of mail and express and other information will be radioed to the | Cuban destination. Thereafter, the radio operator will follow the passage | of the plane over the route by radio- telephone communication directly with it. In event of emergency. nearby ships will be flashed full details. The radiobeacon will be of the equi- | sicnal type. having two crossed loop | antennae and transmitting an inter- locked signal. The pilot receives Morse signals for letter “N" when north ol his course, “A” when south and a “T" | formed by the equi-signal interlock when exactly on the course. The air-| plane equipment will be a lightweight | transmitter and receiver. Daily air mail and passenger service between Key West and Havana is now in operation by the Pan-American Air- ways. which employs trimotored Fok- Xer planes carrying 12 passengers and | two pilots. They leave Meacham Field. | Key West, at 8 am., and return at 5:14 | pm. The flight covers about 100 miles | of water over the Florida Straits, through which passes the Gulf Stream. Contrary winds are encountered at the high altitudes. The radio control sta- tion to guide and follow the aircraft en route will inaugurate this phase of air navigation facilities. which is grad- | uzlly to be extended over the entire | | | United States. A concert by the United States Aarine Band and the weekly resume of | the political situation in Washington by | Frederic William Wile are two of the ly by Mr. Wile's takk.

The station repre- sentative: said that to meet the unton demands would be a death blow to many stations. Petrillo sald the large stations have been asked to employ a steady force of 10 musicians, while the smaller stations are to be dealt with individually. When stations arc broadcasting chain pro- grams or selections picked up from | | theaters. cafes or hotels. union musi- clans would sit {dle in the studios, If demands of the union are accepted.
