The money, if granted by Congress, Will be used to improve and modern- ize radio and other aids to air irans- portation and to develop new safety appliances. it was explained by Col. John M.

Vidal said that, while. he has not received definite reports on the re- th | cent air transport accidents, there is enough information to convince him the accidents have not been due to faults of any ground equipment. He indicated that radio failures due to icing of airplane antennae may have been at fault in one or more of the mishaps, but the definite causes Will not be known until the Com- merce Department investigations are completed. $5,000 AWARD MADE Academy of Americm; Poets Re- members Edwin Markham.
