The new system, which has been proved in more than 2.000 landings at Oakland, makes a virtual robot of the pilot as he literally rides a curved radio beam safely to the ground without touching his instruments, except for slight adjustments. The first step in a blind landing, as described by the engineers at a meeting here, is for the pilot to descend to the level. He then aligns himself with a directional radio beam and flies until he encounters a vertical radio ray, sent up five miles from the airport. At this point, the pilot encounters the curved radio bam.

He disengages his regular controls, and snaps on his "automatic pilot. The sensitive instrument is adjusted to follow the curved beam, which flattens out over the field. He encounters another series of radio controls when he is near the ground, but simply sits back until the wheels touch the runway. Then he snaps off the throttle and applies the brakes. It is not possible to curve a radio beam arbitrarily, but it happens that beams of the ultra-high frequency used 91 megacyclesi curve: naturally in the approximate arc a pilot would normally use in landing an airplane.

Since airports of the country are not yet equipped for blind it is improbable that any will be aehieved commercially until at least 1 J38. The engineers, who met here to discuss radio flying, are confident, however, that all engineering obstacles to such flying has been cleared away. SIX PERSONS DIE IN CABIN BLAZE Family Of Five And Man Are Caught At Rand, Col. WASHINGTON ifh President Roosevelt said in a Utter to Senator Thomas Okla', made public today. that "it would be dangerous to adjust ourselves to any rigid pattern" in seeking to stabilize the value of the dollar.

Mr. Roosevelt referred to "the complexity of the rapidly shifting international scene at present" in raising objections to Thomas' proposal to create a sliding scale of values by altering the dollars theoretical gold content. Thomas made public the presidents views at a Senate hearing on ins bill. Mr. Roosevelt wrote: "I am in complete sympathy with your objective with respect to the elimination of unnecessary fluctuations in the value of the dollar.

The United States is still seeking 'the kind of dollar which a generation hence will have the same purchasing power as the value we hope to attain in the near 1 am sure that you also agree with me that stabilization of the value of the dollar will be attained not merely by monetary means and devices though these are necessary but much more by the achievement of balanced and orderly recovery throughout the whole economy, and by its maintenance once achieved. However, in view of the complexity of the rapidly shifting international scene at present it would be dangerous to adjust ourselves to any rigid pattern. "It is doubthful whether procedure on the lines you suggest will be rewarded with that measure of success which we could justly expect were the international situation to have undergone clarification. "For that reason I believe that to commit ourselves definitely at this time to a formalized course of action might well be premature and might therefore oven do more harm than good, both at home and abroad. "You may rest assured that we are watching all developments in the monetary sphere with a view to making any timely contribution we can.

"The monetary understanding reached last September, first with England and France and then with a number of other countries, was rightly interpreted as being a great step forward in the attainment of the external stabilization of the dollar as well as in the promotion of international cooperation. Simultaneously. Senator Bridges N. proposed legislation to repeal that part of the president's monetary power which would per- i mit him to issue paper currency up to $3,000,000,000. In a statement commenting on his bill.

Bridges said this provision authorizing the president to direct the issue of unsecured United States notes 'greenbacks! disregards the simplest monetary lessons of the world."

BY WILLIAM S. NEAL WASHINGTON (INSi Fear that government regulation may supplant collective bargaining in many industries was revealed today as the major objection of President William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, to the wage and hour bill as passed by the Senate. While favoring a wage-hour bill and expressing willingness to compromise on many points, Green informed committee House members the right of collective bargaining must be maintained. We want to find language to protect collective bargaining and restrict the boards authority in establishing hours and wages in industries where collective bargaining is in effect, said Representative Wood who conferred with Green. "For example, the clothing industry is 85 per cent organized.

We dont want to give the board power to investigate the 15 per cent unorganized and establish longer hours or less wages than has been agreed to by collective bargaining by the 85 per cent. This can be done under the Black Senate bill. "The same is true in the coal industry, which is 90 per cent organized. We don't want to give the board authority to fix lower wages or longer hours in the unorganized fields. TViat would undermine collective bargaining agreements in other areas.

Labor also planned to attack many Senate amendments exempting large groups of workers from the wage-hour law, including the Borah amendment, exempting ag- riculture and industries connected with agriculture, and another empting transportation workers.

Railroad officials said the new tours to ski lands in Winter and even to dairy farms in Summer are raising passenger traffic rev-, enues.

Mary Dees was the youngest student ever to attend the university. She enrolled when she was 6 years old! It happened like this: Mary's father. Arthur Dees, was contractor for the university and his daughter. along with five other youngsters whose fathers were connected with the schooj attended the University of Alabama kindergarten. Nor was an education all that Mary Dees got out of her years at the university.

The towhead of the campus, the pet and pest of the older girls, decided on a movie career when her friend John Mack Brown returned from the Rose Bowl with the laurels of a Crimson Tide victory on his brow and a sizable movie contract in his pocket. Watchei The Stari Mary watched John Mack scale the heights of screen stardom as she struggled with higher mathematics; she dreamed of playing opposite Clark Gable as she tore her blond hair over shorthand at a Birmingham business college where she later prepared herself for a business career which she had no idea of following A few months behind a typewriter only served to convince Mary that she would never be content to remain nothing more than the initials ip the lower corner of business letters and. dispite her family protests. she set out for Hollywood President Roosevelt's election, Mary says, brought her good luck.

It was during her reign over this pageant that Jack Conway, the director, was attracted to her, and she was given her first role as bit" player. Harlow Help! Strangely enough, Mary Dees' I first picture was "Red Headed Woman" in which Jean Harlow starred. And it was the ill-fated and big-hearted Miss Harlow who ex- tended the first helping hand to the Alabama gill. It was Miss Harlow who advised Mary Dees to study-dancing.

It was Jean Harlow who accompanied the little "extra" girl on shopping tours, selecting the right clothes and paying the difference between what Mary had and the gowns cost. It was Jean Harlow who discovered that Mary Dees has what Paramount officials call a "violin voice, and which 1 won for her a part in a sing band" in a Bing Crosby picture. And it would have been Jean Harlow. Mary writes relatives, who would have selected her for the "double" in "Sarasota" had the star been the one to have chosen the girl for the role. In reality it was Clark Gable who suggested Mary for the part.

Gable had often discussed with Miss Harlow the resemblance that the Alabama girl bore to her. and he had heard of the crowds who surrounded Mary at the Inaugural Ball in New York and at the Waldorf and Radio City Theater when Mary, with other dancing girls, was sent East for the premiere of "Forty-Second Street" and he knew that these crqwds clamored for Mary's autograph thinking she was Jean Harlow.

Leaders of the new county union today were expected to request the County Commission to restore two other 10 per cent pay cuts imposed on approximately 1.000 employes during the depression. A. H. Ailbright. president of the county chapter of the union, which is affiliated with the American Fed- eration of Labor, said he would present a petition requesting the pay restorations at once.

The commission, which con-! curred in recommendations made by the Civil Service Personnel Board, recently granted an average 10 per cent pay restoration to all county employes. Three 10 per cent pay cuts were imposed on county employes during depression years, and now they feel that in view of greatly increased living cosis. together with increased revenue being received by the county, that Ihe other two 10 per cent pay cuts should be restored. Some employes hold to the view that the commission should restore the pay cuts because of the fact two years ago the commission members, who had voluntarily reduced their own pay. restored their to the full $6,000 a year fixed by the Legislature.
