Martin Codel. radio correspondent for North American Newspaper _Alliance, speed up air travel. tually all of the iarger air lines from coast to coast gathering material for the series. BY MARTIN CODEL. Commercial air travel is now an in- stitution that is here to remain and grow—of that, there can be no doubt in the mind of any person who has traveled the airways on the passenger and mail lines already established. The next steps in this newly developed medium of transportation, as in the early development of the railroad and bus_systems, must be improvement in equipment and service. Aviation, in fact, is repeating the story of the railroads and bus lines. First the “highways” were developed with Government aid of one form or another. The mails have furnished the primary source of income. The mail operators have been among | the first o expand into passenger-car- rying on a large scale. Meanwhile, they and the others sought and ob- tained the backing of giant capital. Then the inevitable trend was toward combination and merger. Improvement Is Keynote. Now the major efforts are being di- | rected along the line of improved equipment, and competition is begin- ning to rest on the comparative serv- ices afforded with such equipment. The story of new technical develop- ments in aeronautics is being told in the public prints almost every day, A fiy- ing boat with a capacity of more than 100 persons has been built and flown in Germany. The Diesel motor for aircraft is going into production in a Detroit factory. and descriptions are being brought out by the inventive genius of the land. Technical developments are of pri- mary importance. A simple new safety device or & new departure in aircraft design and construction may work a revolution in popular fiying overnight. Give us a method of taking off a plane vertically and landing “flat” with or without power, one important flying of- ficial told the writer, and we will have millions of planes in the alr instead of thousands, at present. Not the least important technical phase of aviation—and one that in- volves the safety and service idea to a marked degree—is the adaptation of ra- dio to flight. Communication a Big Factor. In this concluding article on “radio flying,” written after several transconti- nental flights and numerous shorter trips with the leading air lines, radio’s future importance to aeronautics and | what may be expected to come out of | the radio laboratories to help flying | will be considered. Two-way voice communication be- tween planes in flight and the ground and its value in keeping fivers informed | at all times of their position and of fly- ing conditions ahead has been reviewed in” previous articles. This is perhaps the most important role of radio in flight, but it is by no means the only part that radio plays and will play. ‘The directive beacon has been de- scribed—the radio signaling method whereby a pilot can hold a true course through storm and fog. Marker beacons, working automatically and using the same combinations of dots and dashes as the flashing lights along the air- ways, are being installed by the United States Lighthouse service to inform pi- lots exactly how far along their course they have gone. The directive beacon is being made multi-directional by a development of th> Bureau of Standards; that is, the ground beacon stations are being de- signed so that they can transmit signals of different. characteristics which will guide aviators along different courses from a fixed point. Compass bearings and_position finding are made possible by _radio, as in navigating the seas, The Burcau of Standards is working on an instrument for transiating the dots and dashes of the directive beacon into dlal or visual indications, thereby simplifying that feature of aerial navi- gation for the pilot. He now has to listen through earphones to whether he is on his course. ‘Technicians are working on instru- ments using radio or radio principles 1o give ground speed and altitude read- ings. The fiyer today knows only his wind speced from his instruments and gauges his speed and distance by land- marks or the marker radio beacons. His altitude he can know only in relation 1o sea level or the level of the field from which he started, for the barometric altimeter is the only one now available for aviation. New Altimeter Needed. ‘The barometric altimeter is exceed- Ingly untrustworthy in the last 50 feet or so—the altitude that counts most in landing. Several new altimeters have been devised, employing capacity and “radlo echo” principles. Some are ex- pected to be made available to commer- cial aircraft soon. It is claimed for these altimeters that they give true roa;dhtms in feet to within a fraction of a foot. Such an altimeter will especially ®afeguard mountain flying, for it wiil show the height of a plane in true rela- tion to the topography beneath. It will prevent the danger of “bumping” into the side of a mountain under conditions of poor visibility. Speeding through the air at altitudes up to several miles, the commercial air- plane of the future will probably be equipped to permit passengers to carry on conversations with telephone sub- seribers in cities along the route—or even over much longer distances—in the ordinary way. This can now be done, but special equipment is necessary if the routine weather and navigational radio scrvices are not to be interrupted. A demonstration of telephoning from and to a plane was given over Wash- ington several years ago when Dr. J. H. Dellinger, radio chief of the Depart- ment of Commerce, from a plane over- head, carried on ‘a conversation with Assistant Secretary of Commerce Mac- Cracken, who was seated before his desk phone. Later, when Col. Lindbergh made his triumphal return, a reporter went down the Potomac in the same plegg and dic- tated a story of the progress of the cruiser carrying the Lone Eagle, speak- ing directly from the plane to his of- fice. learn See This New House Until You Have Finished Shopping 1221 Holbrook St. N.E.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 27.—Parliament rose yesterday for its long Summer recess a the new Labor government had weathered its first month of life and the t- TS e | Lieut. Col. Andrew Donovan Trans- | tack on its Egyptian and reparations policies during this morning's session. Freedom from attendance at_the House of Commons will give Prime Min- ister MacDonald the opportunity he d ‘get down to work” unham- pered by parliamentary duties. Foremost in his plans is the trip to the United States in October to confer with President Hoover for the purpose of advancing the causes of disarmament and world peace. Parliament reassem- bles on October 29. ‘The final session of the Commons brought forth heated debate over the resignation of Lord Lloyd, high com- missioner in Egypt. Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the exchequer, stoutly defended the commissioner, who is his personal friend. Churchill Grows Fiery. “Do you want to have puppets, trained to sing tunes which you think are popular?” Churchill asked with great emphasis. This remark was characteristic of his general line of tack. Criticlsm by Churchill in the House of Commons and by Lord Salisbury and Lord Birkenhead in the House of Lords yesterday, however, in the opin- ion of moderate observers has been somewhat overdone. ‘When Forelgn Secretary Henderson came to answer the criticism first voiced by Stanley Baldwin today he was able to show that on four major occasions in the life of the previous Conservative government Lord Uog had been in direct conflict with tI home administration over Egyptian policy, Lloyd sometimes being over- ruled and sometimes overruling his s periors m London. Henderson maintained there was no real change of policy contemplated in Egypt. but that it would be practically impossible to carry out the policy of the government's declaration of 1922 while Lloyd remained as high commissioner. Has Conversed With Premier. Henderson did not go into particula regarding how the new government pre posed to deal with Egypt, but he ad- mitted that he had been in conversa- tion with the Egyptian premier and that the government had just appointed :mmbmmn::tue o{‘ the cabinet to cen- ler Egyptian policy. ‘The excitement of the concluding sitting of the House continued with de- bate on reparations and the Young plan. Describing_ the report as “in- credible.” former Premier Lloyd George raised the issue. He declared he was amazed that the Young report should be proposed to the British treasury as a fair settlement of British reparations claims. Lloyd George said he hoped Chan- cellor of ‘the Exchequer Snowden would use his influence to obtain substantial modification before the plan was ap- proved by Parliament. Lioyd George went on to say that since the war England had lost at the very least £3,000.000.000 of trade directly owing to war devastations. “We are pay- ing £34.000,000 annually the war debts incurred really to finance the allies. but for which we should not h: n to borrow from the United States.” Lioyd George Denounces Plan. Criticizing the Young plan in detail, the flery Liberal leader pointed out that practically nothing would come to Great Britain out of the payments of uncon- ditional annuities, “but still we are obliged to pay our £34,000,000 to Amer- ica. The 125000000 paid to France had the best security in the world, but we had none.
