oad Contends Full Crew Law

HarrisburR— < UP> —The Pennsyl­vania Railroad called .''its. "s tar" wi tness in Dauphin Co. -court today to support contention of 30 rail car­r iers that, the s ta te ' s new '"full crew** law is not a safety measure and represents an illegal exercise of legislative power.

The act requires an extra brake-m a n on passenger t ra ins of 10 or more cars and on freight t ra ins of more than 40 cars, and a baggage­man on every baggage ear includ­ing those locked for through pas­sage.

The witness, whose testimony will close the Pennsylvania Rail­road's lengthy a rgument against the new law which was . personally urged by Gov. George H. Ear'le. is J. F . Deasy. the company's viee-pteaident in charge of operations.

Deasy told the court his company has spent more than 286 million dollars since 1913 on a program of improvements for promotion of safety.

"To ca r ry out the remainder of the program,"' he said, "the rail­road plans the expenditure of over 109 million dollars more, including nearly $16,400,000 for fur ther signal protection. $50,100,000 on t rack im­provements and grade crossing e l ; m!nat ions and $42,700,000 on rol­ling stock be t t e rments .

"Continuance of this vast safety program will be imperiled if the new 'excess* crew law is upheld."

The effect of the law. Deasy said, will be to injure ra ther than ad­vance the cause t>* safety "by re­tarding progress in those things which promote safety."

j only women at the . con test from the j University of Michigan Glider | Club, are admittedly novices in the ! a r t of motorless flight.

"I have my A license, which is practically nothing at all," smiled Mrs. Barr inger modestly. "It re-

She has practiced this spring at Wings Field near Philadelphia with

Miss Johnson joined the '•'Thriving | University of Michigan Glider Club , last fall--"just on impulse. I saw

The club has an enrollment of I about 45 of which only three are

Never had she set foot in a glider until Tuesday when Prof. R. E.

Her delight and exhilaration with the experience were so great tha t Prof. F rank l in and William Sher­man, who manned the tow car. found her laughing and shouting aloud when they ran back to see how she had fared.

On Wednesday she s tar ted early in the morning with the two men as coaches and worked almost con­tinuously until 4:30 p. m., when she unconditionally qualified for a De­pa r tmen t of Commerce commercial glider license, a distinction which testifies to 10 minutes soaring and spot landing on a field.

As a commercial pilot she is privileged to carry passengers for hire, tow a ship or instruct .

Eels form a chain in unknown depths of the Atlantic Ocean as they move from Europe to the breeding grounds south of Bermuda, said Mr. Rollo, a local industrial executive. A mature eel never has been seen in mid-ocean, he declared.

The eels' journey from Europe to the breeding grounds takes, 2Vj years, and the t r ip from American lakes and rivers, about one year, the speaker said. The average age of the fish is approximately 15 years, said Mr. Rollo, who studies the eel as a hobby.

An agreement has been reached by Mr. Pi tcairn and Mr. Szekely to have the Szekely Co. design, de­velop and construct one of its pat­ented transmissions for use in the autogiro The transmission will

switch the power from the propel­ler to*the rotor blades automatical­ly, or at will. The transmission will, therefore, be' used to s tar t the rotor blades turn ing so that the giro will leave the ground vertical­ly and when it ha.-? ascended 20 :o 30 feet, proceed forward; the t rans­mission switching the power at this point automatically to the pro­peller. The rotor blades will then turn by the wind resistance of the forward motion of the giro.

The same program for the new autogiro is being carried on simul­taneously in the English Company, known as the Pitcairn Autogiro Corp of England The Szekriy transmission will be installed in the giro bring developed hy the English company after installation in the American giro.
