Months ago Secretary of the Interior Harold Le Clair Ickes decided that his department deserved a better name and he more authority. Hence a bill appeared in Congress to rename the Department of the Interior the Department of Conservation.

Flying blind is nothing new. All trans port pilots do it as a matter of course, letting a robot pilot keep the plane on the flying beam radioed from each major airport. Landing blind is another matter. First done in 1929 by Major James Harold Doolittle while a safety man watched from an open cockpit, it was not successfully executed solo until 1932 when Captain Albert F. Hegenberger managed it at Dayton. Since then, though many a method has been tried for commercial use, none has proved satisfactory enough to permit planes to take-off & land when fog shuts down...
