Why, I throw two shovels | of coal to Jobn’s one.” | Carroll’s record of never having lost a day by injury or illness is unusual in bituminous coal flelds, says his superintendent, Robert Featheringham. It's so unusual, in fact, that the Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association of Wash- ington, D. C., awarded Carroll a cer- tificate of honor this week. Carroll may joke about his son's coal loading ability, but other miners say the father and son make a perfect team. | Carroll has been throwing coal since | he was 10.

RADIO PLANE TESTS PERFECTLY IN FOG Cruiser Soars at 12,000 Feet Over Pacific, With Crew Knowing Position at All Times. By the Associated Press. OAKLAND, Calif., March 16.—The Department of Commerce experi- mental precision flight plane soared through blinding fog over the Pacific today and its crew was able to deter- mine its exact position merely by looking at a quivering needle on an instrument buard. Returning here from a test flight | of more than four hours, members of -its crew said they were “elated” at the performance of the new type radio | compass they were testing with a view to making ocean aerial navigation more or less automatic. Figuratively, the plane was able to follow radio waves sent by ordinary | ship, shore and broadcasting stations. | By watching the compass needle thy | crew was able to tell exactly when the plane passed over a ship 12,000 feet below. James L. Kinney of the Department of Commerce staff said the plane may make’ another short flight tomorrow. | He sald weather conditions between here and Hawali continued unfavor- able. The ultimate goal is a flight to_Honolulu. In Washington Eugene Vidal, the Commerce Department's director of air commerce, said the plane had been | “about perfected and it can fly all | over the Pacific. It can fly to any | place from where it can get a radio beam.” Maj. Chester Clayton Bissel, Armyi fiyer, and Capt. Albert F. Hegenberger, | the Army’s expert in “blind” nying.L operated the plane. M.
