Hit By Economy Act When the economy act of 1933! came along Kear and Davies were! hard at work in the radio labora-! tories of the national bureau of standards and had brought the in- strument to the point of testing it in flight. A few days later they found themselves on the side- walk. _ ies ae aad S. Sevetal foreign scientists had become.familiar with their work, but they refused an offer from one foreign government—which they will not name—and took_!e: lucrative jobs with a new organ- jization, the Washington Institute jof Technology. The institute projected a new idea in the relation between sei- ence and its application for hu- man betterment—it employed men to work in pure «acience, leaving the mags devices they perfected to manufacturing organizations. One of the first of these is the {blind landing device. Many Aids To Aviation Botn men have much to their credit in muproving alr naviga- taon.
