MORE RADIO AID
FOR AIR TRAFFIC
SEATTLE, — (JP) —A subcom
mittee declared at a North Pacific
Air Navigation meeting yesterday
that radio aids in the Aleutians
and parts of Alaska were “inade
quate” for present day air traffic
needs. |
Military and commercial air
craft use the radio aids in flying
the northern route from the Pac
ific Northwest to the Orient.
The subcommittee on communi
cations recommended that the In
ternational regional meeting ask
several improvements to correct
the “inadequacy” of radio beacon
and LORAN (long range radio
navigation) stations in the area, j
It urged:
1. Installation of a test, low-fre
quency LORAN station in the
Gulf of Alaska area “at the ear
liest possible date.”
2. Stationing of at least one such
floating beacon ship in the gulf
and at least two more farther al
ong the route between Shemya and
Tokyo.
3. Continued operation of all the
present stations covering the North
Pacific region.
4. Increasing the power of sev
eral radio beacons in the area.
The committee’s report said that
radio aids at Naknek and Fort
Glenn, Alaska, do not provide
“adequate coverage” during per

LORAN. it said, is not accurate
on a portion of tht* Shemya-Tokyo
route.
Some inadequacies, the report
said, may be partly overcome when
the United States increases the

the world. This flight will com
pare with round-the-world voy
ages by the American fleet.”
One of the most notable round
the world fleet cruises was at the
turn of the century and was in
tended frankly as a demonstration
of American power.
Obviously remembering that, the
State Department definitely did
not approve Symington’s idea and
the flight plan was shelved.
Last May three B-29s took off,
eastbound, on another projected
globe-girdling flight. This time, 1
they reached the Middle East but
encountered diplomatic complica
tions about flying over certain
areas and turned back.
Fom the Azoes, the three bomb
ers are scheduled to fly to Whel
lus Field, near Tripoli, Lybla.
From there, refueling stops will
be made at Ceylon, the Philip
pines, Japan, Elmendorf Field, An
chorage, Alaska, a ndthus back
to base at Tucson.
Arrivan at Tucson is set for the
morning of August 5.

and party campaign songs.
Stepping from the train, Wallace
declared chances of his party in
the coming election “are fine.”
“The New Party will make
things roll after this convention.
Mark my words on that.”
The crowd carried banners and
placards hailing Wallace and Sen
ator Glen H. Taylor of Idaho, his
vice presidential running mate.
The placards displayed such
slogans as:
"Had enough milk al 25 cents
a quart?"
"People before profits."
"Repeal the draft now."
Wallace’s arrival marks the for
mal launching of the first ser
ious attempt since 1924 to cut
across Democratic and Republican
lines with a third candidate for the
I presidency.
In that long ago era, the ticket
of Robert M. LaFollette Sr., and
Burton K. Wheeler got about 4,
; 500,000 votes.
Estimates now range between
that and 9,000,000 for the vote to
i tal likely to be amassed by Wal
I lace and his running mate, Sen
I
! ator Glen Taylor, erstwhile Idaho
! Democrat.
