Edward M. Bassett, city planning expert, former Publlo Service Com' mlssloner and a member of the com-mission which drafted the New York zoning ordinance, has been appointed by Mayor Walker as special counsel to the city to prepare an amend' ment to the charter defining the powers of the permanent City Planning Commission to be created by the Municipal Assembly. The es tabllshment of the permanent com' mission was strongly recommended by the City Committee on Plan and Survey, organized In June, 1926, and which made its report to the Mayor last summer. Mr. Bassett was one of the most active members that committee.

In recommending the setting up ot a permanent City Planning Commission the committee called attention to the fact that there are today nearly 400 American cities having an aggregate population of 30,000,000 that have appointed city planning commissions, and says: "At the present time the ultimate control of all details entering into the city's physical growth Is vested In the Board of Estimate, but that body, from the very nature of its structure and the great burden of statutory and charter duties laid upon it, is unable to give to general, far ahead planning anything like the adequate attention it requires. Consequently it has to leave most planning and the construction of local Improvements to be carried out In districts in piecemeal fashion so far as the whole city is concerned. We are convinced that the appointment of a planning board would not lessen the present responsibility of the Board of Estimate, but would give much aid and relief In getting an intelligent understanding of projects and arriving at decisions regarding their execution." Affects City Development. Mr. Bassett said that he would have the bills ready for introduction at the coming session of the Legislature.

Since these measures will have the solid support of the city administration their passage and approval by the Governor is taken for granted. It was explained by Mr. Bassett that while the Municipal Assembly, under the Home Rule Act, could establish the proposed city planning board, only the State Legislature could give that body the powers it needed to carry out the Important work it would be expected to do. All of the decisions of the City Planning Commission, however, would be subject to approval by the Board of Estimate. Asked what would be the main object of the City Planning Commission, he said: "The location of public improvements where, after thorough study of the situation and in the interest ot the whole city, they ought to be placed.

These Include bridges, vehicular tunnels, nublic buildings, parks, widening of streets, construction of trunk hiehwavs and so forth, in order to do its work intelligently and scientifically, the City Planning Commission should have before it a mas ter plan of the city prepared by engineers of the highest repute. The Commission will have no easy task, but the urgent need of such a board, a body of men imbued with civic pride and determined to make their derisions onlv after the most careful and conscientious study of the sub ject and in the interest or the city at large, cannot be questioned for a moment. The result of their labor should have a far-reaching effect upon the city's coherent growth and development." Mayor Walker already has virtually engaged the services of the engineering firm of Day Zimmerman to prepare the master plan mentioned by Mr. Bassett. At last Thursday's meeting of the Board of Estimate the Mayor let it be known that he expected a preliminary report from this firm very soon.

The Mayor mentioned particularly the imperative need of a bridge or vehicular tunnel connecting Brooklyn with the Biro of Richmond, indicating that this project would be among the first major vehicular traffic improvements to be taken up by the City Planning Commission. Bassett Is Experienced. Mr. Bassett could not say how many members the City Planning Board would consist of. It Is understood that his appointment as special counsel to the city to draft the legislation needed for the establishment of the Commission and endowing it with adequate powers, was recommended to Mayor Walker by former Supreme Court Justice Morgan J.

O'Brien, chairman of the city plan and survey committee, and several other outstanding members of the committee. Mr. Bassett, by reason of his many years of experience in city planning, and his familiarity with the statutes of every State in the Union relating to city planning, was thought to be thoroughly qualified to undertake the work of preparing an amendment to the Charter and local legislation providing for the establishment of a permanent City Planning Commission here. Speaking of the retaining of the above-mentioned firm of engineers Mayor Walker said: "We want these traffic experts to study the whole subject of traffic congestion in this city, which has now reached the saturation point. We wtnt them to recommend what they regard as the best method of bettering conditions that cry aloud for a remedy, as well as providing for the necessities of the future.

We want them to consider such projects as a tunnel or bridge for vehicular traffic between Brooklyn and the Boro of Richmond, the proposed vehicular tunnels under tn East River, the Tri-Boro Bridge and improved and enlarged arterial highways. All this In order that before we decide definitely to carry out traffic improvements on a large scale may have the benefit of the best professional advice obtainable In this city. I have already had an Informal consultation with representatives oi Day Zimmerman. They have prepared a preliminary survey as possible foundation for a more thorough investigation." ST. CALOGERO SERVICE.

A solemn blessing of the grotto and statue of St. Calogero the Hermit, protector of the city of Sclacca and all Sicily, will take place tomorrow Tfternoon at 4 o'clock at the R. C. Church of the Most Precious Blood, Bay 46th near Cropsey ave. The Rev.

Anthony Dl Liberty, assisted by the Rev. Outseppe Bugllno, will give the blessing. A procession and other features will be included in the Collector Shows Old Draw ings of City and Map Dated 1766. By ESTHER A. fOSTEK.

"It Is only within the last two years that Brooklyn people have waked up to the value of the old Brooklyn prints and other relics of an earlier Brooklyn history," declared Julius Levy, antiquarian, of 1090 Ocean parkway, as he brought out for the pleasure of his visitor rare old prints and maps showing what Brooklyn looked like In the old days when the town Itself was only a village and the inhabitants numbered by hundreds Instead of by millions, Mr. Levy lias ridden his hobby until he can tell more about old Brooklyn In an hour than most Brooklyn-Itcs could In half a day. "There ore very fe' prints of early Brooklyn in existence now," he Fald. "In the old days people did not seem to realize that those coming after them would be Interested in the village as It was then. We have only a few original drawings and there was no photography of scenes then as we have now.

I have, after much research, estimated that there are only 65 different scenes of anv value to be had of old Brooklyn. Of course the older ones are rarer and more valuable." Prints Increase In Value. "How does the value today coin-pare with that of 10 years ago?" was "Ten vears ago few people cared snvthlng" about old prints of Brooklyn," he replied. "Unless we found a collector who was really interested we would have been lucky to get 51 cents for most of the prints. Now thev are valued at any price; $100 for a good print f.

a very common price and many run far beyond that. There is an original print in the New York Public Library' of Canal st. and Broadway that is now worth $750 and growing more valuable every day." Mr. Lew said that the Brooklyn Club, which has pne of the most valuable collections' of old Brooklyn prints, was the first to be interested getting together a pictorial history of Brooklyn. He has recently gathered a collection for the Brook-lvn Edison Company which, 'he says, Ls the first to be gathered by a public utility as a tribute to it home city.

"Where do you find these prints that have been made so many years was the question that was inevitable. Find Tbem In Junk Shops. "Wo buy old libraries," he said, "and sometimes unearth rare treasures. We haunt junk shops and old oook shops. We follow every trail twlble of attics and hoarded treas-res of private families.

There was a time when these storehouses produced a good many valuable prints, but now the stock is more limited and people have discovered they have a commercial value. Once these mints eet into the hands of a pri vate collector or a museum they are withdrawn from circulation and the sources of supply are that much diminished." Mr. Levy brought out as a special treasure, not of old Brooklyn, however, a set of missals mads by the monks in the 14th Century as a memorial servlcs for Queen Elizabeth. The music is written in rectangular notes on staves of four lines instead of the modern five. All the Initials of the exquisitely made Old English lettering were beautifully Illuminated.

The series was on the finest of parchment and a wonderful example of the patience and skill of those old-time monks. "Would you believe that people today with no thought of the artistic and historical value of these old missals." he said, "are cutting them up to use the illuminated Initials for lampshades or other decoration?" Mr. Levy's manner and tone of voice told more plainly than words the horror of the true antiquarian for what seemed to him Just plain vandalism. Brooklyn Map Dated 1766. Mr.

Levy had a number of maps of old Brooklyn, one dating back to 1776, covered a very small part of the present Brooklyn and indicated trees, and only small spots developed property. A print of "Labor's Inn" on Flatbush made in 1853, carried the sign over the door "Home Brewed Ale Porter." The print is marked "Taken by A. L. Vanderbilt, City Surveyor." One of the interesting prints in which color is added, ls that of Freeke's Mill, Oowanus, which was burned on Aug. 27, 1776.

Another of the old Bushwick Church, an octagonal structure built in 1711, serves as a reminder of the growth of Brooklyn. These old prints are woodcuts, lithographs and steel engravings or aquatints. Mr. Levy showed one original water color of the old Academy of Music which was made in 1874, a few years after the building was burned. The drawing Is painstakingly made in pencil in great detail and then tinted in water color.

Mr. Levy said there was no record kept of the number of prints made in the early days so that the collector can only guess at the supply in existence. "We have facsimiles of valuable historic documents," he said, "but renroductlons of old prints are rare. Nobody could be easily fooled by a modern reproduction and no dealer of repute would try to deceive a client. The earliest print of any part of Brooklyn that we know of ls r.

northwestern view from Peck Slip opposite Fulton St. You see here the old colonnade on Brooklyn Heights and the ferry boats on the river. The tinte is somewhere between 1810 and 1820." Composite Street Views. Mr. Levy has made a number of composite views of historic streets by collecting many small prints and com bluing them in the proper order.

It took him 15 years to collect the prints lor a view ot Broadway, Mannattan, covering that street from the Battery to Union Square and snowing tne ae velopment of the street from its ear liest day. He is now making a sinu lar collection of Wall Street prints. Mr. Levy, although specializing on old prints, has a passion for antique jewelry. Apropos of nothing at all he reached into his pocket and pulled out half a dozen heavy silver rings elaborately hand carved and some with carved carnellan jewels.

"What do you think of those?" he said with the enthusiasm oi tne genuine coi lector. "Those are Hindu and Chi nese. They are genuine, but nowadays thev make duplicates such rings. Next he pulled out a huge book filled with colored heraldic plates. The closet, from which they emerged as packed with old books and platen that, looked like Junk but had vnlues not, to be guessed at by the layman.

"Fields are licensed for occupation for period ot to 10 years, at an average cost of $7.25 per acre per annum throughout the United States. Beacon sites are similarly licensed at an average cost of $12 per annum. Owing to the constantly increasing public Interest in air transportation, It has been found possible to establish many intermediate fields on a cooperative basis, whereby the city or town at which the field is located rents or purchases the field and licenses it to the department at re duced or nominal consideration.

About 20 percent of the intermediate fields established during the past year have been established co-opera-j lively with considerable saving in expense to the Government. Costs $5,000 to Light a Field. "Intermediate fields are marked by 50-foot (diameter) white circles at the intersections of the runway cen ter lines, with while panels 20 feet long and 2 feet wide extending from the outside of the circle along the runway center lines to indicate the landing directions. The circle ana panels are constructed of crushed rock tamped flush with the field sur face and rne Boun daries of the fields are maked by chrome yellow sheet metal cones 30 inches in diameter and 24 Inches in height." Explaining that It costs about $5,000 to light each these fields, Director Young then explains the kind of iluminatlon used: "The llKhting of intermediate fields comprises a beacon, boundary lights, range lights, obstruction lignts ana illuminated wind indicator. A standard 24-lnch revolving beacon is provided at each field.

"Standard boundary lights. Installed at intervals of approximately 300 feet around the perimeters of the fields, consist of waterproof prismatic globes mounted 30 inches above the ground, in which are installed 15-watt electric bulbs. "Range lights, installed In the boundary system and similar in all respecU to boundary lights, except that the wattage of the bulbs is increased by 10, and that the clear globes are replaced by green globes, are placed at opposite ends of the principal runways to aid pilots in making landings. Two such range lights are used at each end of the best or prevailing wind runway, and single lights mark the center line of the other runway." Beacons. Between these fields are located the beacons l.OOO-watt searchlights with a 2,000,000 beam candlepower at 10-mlle intervals.

Each beacon rotates its upward beam six times a minute. If its electric lamp burns out, an Ingenious machine is ready to replace It automatically with another in a fraction of a second. This beacon ls mounted on a standard 51-foot metal tower. Two 500-watt 17.000 candlepower searchlights are attached to this tower, as course lights. One points back along the airway, the other forward.

Their color is red. Their beam ls stationary. They flash a code signal from one to 10 corresponding to the beacon number along the airway. In this way the pilot will be immediately able to locate himself at each beacon, or every 10 miles, along the nlfht course. To assist in daytime flying each bearon tower is set in the center of a gigantic directional arrow 54 feet long pointing along the course.

Th9 arrow surface is painted chrome yellow with the site number painted in black on the rectangular feather end. Altogether there are 1,020 of these tvacons in operation, according to Director Young, plong the Govern ment's airways. The 5 880 miles of lighted oirway In the United State' require the regular services of 493 caretakers and attendcits to main-'iin the intermediate fields and the beacons. CHRISTMAS I'UNP BALL.

and W. 15th next Tuesday evening. active substances were deposited In the bones because they formed insol uble compounds which the body could not get rid of in any other way, and here they bombarded and destroyed blood cells as fast as they were formed. As a result the victims of radium poisoning found themselves suffering from an illness that had all the symptoms of anemia but whkh had been diagnosed as a half dozen different diseases. Kept Alive by Transfusions.

Dr. Von Sochocky's illness became more and more serious, and for the past three and a half months he has been kept alive by blood transfusions. Repeated supplies of new blood were Injected into his veins to replace the celts that were destroyed by the fast-flying particles shot off by the radioactive substances stored by nature in the marrow of his bones. Nature seems to have been exacting a strange and fantastic retribution in crushing out the lite of Dr. Von So chocky in this manner, because it is this very property of radioactive substance which he used in inventing his luminous radium paint.

What Is Radium? Before describing the way in which 'adium paint works an idea of what the radium atom is like is essential. Radium is a very heavy sub stance, with an atomic weight of 228. It consists, according to the finding! of atomic physicists, of a central nucleus into which there Is packed. within an lnfiniteslmally small space, nositive electrical charges. Rotating around this central positive nucleus are 92 electrons, or negative electric charges.

These electrons are in rings at Axed distances from the center of the atom, in much the same manner as the planets revolve around the sun. Their speed of rotation ls enormous. Because of this and the great number of positive and negative charges that are concentrated in the atom it is mechanically unstable, but la possessed ot a vast amount of atomic energy. Atom Breaks Down, Due to this mechanical Instability the atom breaks down to simpler mechanical forms, that ls it disin tegrates and in doing so throws off some of the negative and some of the positive charges. When the atom has given off some ot its negative charges tnat rotate around the center it is electrically unbalanced, and then some of the positive charges in the cen ter are released.

When these positive charges are released the energy that is set free in the motion of these particles is terrific, and in addition X-rays are generated. They leave the atom with a speed of 20,000 miles per second. The negative electrons on the outside, having less than one lour-tnousandth ot the mass of the positive charges may have still higher speed. Particles Shatter Crystal. When these electrons, thrown out ot the atom at high speed, strike a crystalline suostance, tnev shatter the crystal and the shattering of the crystal produces a minute flash of light.

Dr. Von Sochocky mixed quantities of radioactive substances with crystalline zinc sulphide. The crystals are extremely small, very powder-like, so that they mixed with a binder to make a paint-liko substance. The disintegrating radioactive atoms shoot out vast myriads of these electrons and each one striking a very minute crystal produces a minute flash of light. As these flashes take place at the rate ot millions In a second the Impression of a continuous light ls produced, and the whole paint Decomes luminous.

Meso-Thorium I'sually I'scd, When radium Is used, this luminous effect will continue for a vast period of time, as the radium will not deteriorate to half strength in less than 1,200 years. The remaining half may not dissipate Itself for millions of years. There is a whole family of these radioactive substances, uranium, thorium, radium, and they break down into other substances that are also radioactive, but have a much shorter half-period. Meso- thorium ls the substance that ls gen erally used In the so-called "radium paint." This has a half-life period ot about six and one-half years. Its lull life period has not been determined.

It is the meso-thorlum which was Ingested by the women making the "radium" watch dials. They would place in their mouths the brushes they dipped In the paint to moisten the tips. In this way small quantities of the radioactive substances got into their bodies. Body Stored Substance In Bone. Human bodies have never before been called upon to deal with exploding atoms, and there seemed to be very Inadequate physiological processes for handling them.

The body changed the substances to insoluble compounds and then, being unable to dispose of these In digestive or excretive processes, put them in the bones where mineral matters are ordinarily stored and incidentally used In bulldln? uo the bony structure. Within the bones ls the softer mar- CADY VOLUNTEERS SERVICES TO HELP IN HOSPITAL DRIVE Doctor to Work Full Time to Get Nurses Home for Salvation Army Institution. Dr. Edward Everett Cady, Brooklyn dentist of 346 Fulton has volunteered his services for an indefinite period of time to the Salvation Army, to aid In the campaign to raise $55,000 for a new nurses home for the Brooklyn Nursery and Infants Hospital at 396 Herkimer it was announced today. The proposed building will be erected on a site adjoining the hospital building.

The present building housing the nurses is inadequate, improperly heated and in, a dilapidated condition, it was pointed out. It was found necesary to remove the nurses to their present home to make way for new wards in the hospital, it was said. Deficit In Contributions. The Brooklyn Nursery and Infants Hospital has been sponsored and sup ported by the Salvation Army for the past 11 years. Because ot a detlclt In the yearly contributions, it WB3 deemed necessary by the Army to start a campaign tor money to build the nurses Home.

Dr. Cady, who makes his head quarters in the r.ew Brooklyn Emergency Headquarters of the Salvation Army at 10 court in discussing the drive said: "The condition which I found re cently in the Brooklyn Nursery is so shocking that it has caused me to drop ail of my other affairs and give iny time, without remuneration, to an effort to correct it. "Salvage Lives of Many." 'These institutions have been the means of salvaging the lives of hundreds of abandoned and helpless babies, including many sent by the municipal authorities ot Greater Ncv York. Little by little, however, the demand has grown greater, and as the Army has opened Its generous arms wider the load has Increased, until there must now be added facili ties to carry that load. Every foot of space has been given up to housing the little ones and their caretakers without reserving sufficient room for quarantine purposes.

"in this emergency the nurses have been turned out of their quarters and are now nousea in an old residence, Tills house ls not only in a delapldated condition and improperly heated but it is also too small to accommodate comfortably more than one-half the number that now occupy it. "The immediate need, which muit be met as soon as possible, is a new building for the nurses on land ad-Joining the hospital, which ls owned by the Salvation Army. This building will cost about $55,000."

When radioactive substances are in the bones the processes cannot be carried on successfully, as the electrons and Ions shot out by the exploding atoms hit ana destroy tne Blood cells, in the luminous paint they produced light; in the human body they produced death. Dr. Von Sochocky had also handled the more potent radium as a therapeutic agent, used in efforts to cure such diseases as cancer.

He worked in the production of the which doctors handle only when It Is In these lead cases. The radium he produced has probably saved In numerable lives, but his own has been sacrificed to light and healing. Dr. Sabin A. von Sochocky, Chemist of Dial Painting Company, Was Sure He Would Discover Some Way to Cure Dread Industrial Maladv.

By JOHN J. O'NEILL. Radium poisoning has claimed an other victim. The man who Invented a luminous paint an invention that made radium shine in the dark, and an Invention that has led to at leait 18 deaths has been defeated by the most subtle and terrific poisonous force man has ever been called upon to combat a force he sought to harness. Dr.

Sabin A. von Sochocky, chem ist of the plant of the United States Radium Corporation, which formerly maintained a "radium" dial painting plant at East Orange, N. defied the bursting atoms of the radioactive substances. He did not live in fear that his life would be the penalty for familiarity and close con tact with the enormous powers that i were latent in the gently shining substances that he handled. Yet he knew full well what a gigantic source of power was stored in each and every atom of radium, meso thorium and the other radioactive substances.

Knew Dangerous Properties. Dr. Sabin, as he was better known to his intimates, knew the prop erties of these substances so well that he was able to formulate the means of making the luminous "radium" paint that was used in the East Orange plant. He knew that each and every atom, of the radioactive sub stance was exploding wun a iorce that, relative sizo considered, made our modern artillery seem like pop guns. And he mane use of these ex plosions to produce ugnt.

He put one of Nature's untamed forces to work. He harnessed a wild uncon trolled energy, and he has paid the price with his life. He is one of the martyrs which science and tech nology are continually ottering as a sacrifice on the altar of human progress. 16 Sacrifices on Altar. To date 16 such sacrifices have been offered on the altar of radium, according to the records in the office of Dr.

Harrison 8. Martland, Medical Examiner of Essex County, New Jersey. In Connecticut, in the clock- making district, is another center for the production ot muminatea ciock dials, and there some more history of this sort may be written. Dr. Sabin knew of the toll In lives that had been collected to the account of these radioactive substances yet when he was stricken with Illness three and a half years ago he resolutely, declared that he would defeat death, that he would, with equally subtle methods, purge himself ot the death-dealing substances that had secreted themselves within his system Said Women Would Live.

When the five women, former em ployees, started suit against the United States Radium Corporation because they were doomed to death, Dr. von Sochocky, technical director of the corporation, declared that they would not die because the radioactive suo stances lose half their strength In less than seven years and the women would outlive this period of greatst noisoning activity. He made this statement in June of last year. Three months later Dr. von So- chockv, who lived In Amherst East Orange, N.

was again critically 111. He was reported to be sufferim? from radium necrosis, but he denied that his illness was due to the radio. active substances with which he worked. Convinced He Could Cure Malady, Previously when he had made the statement about the probable recov ery of the women victims of "radium poisoning he declared that he had nearly purged his body of radioactive materials which attacked him serl ously in 1920. He advanced the the ory that the body gradually rids Itself of the radioactive substances that find their way Into the system, and he was convinced that he could by proper methods assLst this process, Scientists, who had irvestigated radium poisoning results from the autopsy angle found that the radio are kept is one of those mussy crowded poke-holes that seem to bo the special delight of the real anti quarian, with none of the luxuries and decorative effects of the young women's shops where antiques form the background ot an Interior decor atlng establishment.

The cluttered office was lots more fun and only lack ol time prevented discovery of more rare vonunese that promised no end ot surprises, Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By JOHN BILLINGS Jr. Washington, Nov. 24 Although scheduled commercial flights over regular routes made up only 10 percent of the civil flying in the United States during the last fiscal year, the Department of Commerce is pushing forward an elaborate program of airway construction, according to the second annual report of the Director of Aeronautics Just made public here. This airway program, which is the Government's chief contribution to the development of commercial aviation, represents the expenditure of millions of dollars and the use of the best aeronautical and engineering skill In the country.

According to this report, tne uniteo. States is in effect still In the "Jazz stage" of flying. Nine-tenths ot its flying is composed ot sightseeing trips, stuoeos instruction, crup unking, aerial photography, mapping, messenger service, advertising and private trips. Airways of Prime Importance. The develoDment of airways Di rector Young of this bureau considers of prime importance in advancing transport flying, despite the fact that such ft small percentage of flights at present make systematic use of these routes.

"This established airway system is the backbone oi united States commercial aviation," he reports, "though operations over this network form only one-tenth of all civil flying." More than $3,000,000 was spent on its development last year. Tne iramc on mese uoveiiuircun airways has increased so greatly within the last year that the Com merce DeDartment feels warrantea ir recommending their general extension to other parts of the country. At the end ot tne nscai year tne ITnlteH States had laid out 11,191 miles of marked airways, of which about half or 5.880 miles were lighted for night flying. Eighteen hundred additional miles are now in the process of being illuminated and some 5,000 more miles are undej consideration for this essential improvement next year. Must Be "Fliable" at Night.

The denartment holds to the policy that an air route, to be of real serv ice, must be "fliable" under any light or weather condition. This has led to a standard system of laying out these airways and supplying them with the verv latest eaulpment. At present some 27.000 miles are daily flown over the existing 11,000 miles oi air routes. Next year the department predicts that the scheduled daily mileage will mount above 40,000 over airways totaling 16.000 miles. The construction oi tnese ngntea airways as a meai.vs of advancing transport aviation by the government is historically comparable to the land grants of an earlier era as a method of developing railroads.

The department has concentrated on their improvement until now they are rated as tne oest in tne worm. Beacons 10 Miles Apart. The standard airway, as described by the Bureau of Aeronautics, consists of large terminal operating fields linked together by a series of Intermediate or emergency fields every 30 miles. At every ten-mile interval Is fixed an airway Deacon 10 uuide the pilot through the nignt, The first problem in laying out an airway ls the selection of sites for the intermediate iields. Following the airline of the route as closely as possible, these are selected with an eye to level country, ruaas iiu i nu ways, centers of habitation and elec Irlfi nower lines.

The last is very im portant for the proper illumination of these miniature fleuds that link toirether the great aviation terminals. In mountain country the fields are spaced closer together. Describing these fields, of which there are now 189 in Government operation, ui rector Young says: Rent Landing Field. "The standard intermediate field nrovides two landing strips or run ways of a length ot 2.000 feet and width of 600 feet, approximately at right angles to each other, with one trlp lying In the direction of the prevailing wind. Such a field has an rea of 4 1 acres.

Landing strips may form a T.

In rough country it is often possible to secure only one landlnj strip, in which case an attempt ls made to increase the width of such 'two-way field' sufficiently to permit landing diagonally Into strong cross winds.
