TO WATCH FLYERS
Safety Technique of Airline
Pilots to Be Watched
Secretly.
ttie Associated Press.
Air Commerce Bureau officials re
ported today they soon will begin ex
poriments with one of the newest
airline safety devices—a “mechanical
eye." which will secretly record how
pilots handle their planes.
The instrument, known as an "air
log," is a cylindrical, metal inclosed
gadget fitted into planes to record
speed, direction, altitude and other
data during flight.
By studying the record, officials
gaid, airline supervisors can tell much
about how efficiently the pilot op
erated his plane and whether he ob
served all safety regulations and in
61 ructions.
To Be Secretly Installed.
The bureau has ordered 10 of the
Instruments and will place them on
transport planes. Pilots will not know
vi nether their ships carry the device
end the bureau thus hopes to pro
cure a fair cross-section of flying
technique.
Records will be examined jointly
by the airlines and the bureau to
determine whether the instrument
should be installed on all transport
planes.
Another study planned by the bu
reau when projected expansion of its
research division is effected involves
the possibility of catapulting trans
port planes into the air to make
take-offs safer.
May Prevent Stalls.
Officials explained that catapult
ing might be safer than the present
running take-off because planes Im
mediately would be shot to a suf
ficient altitude to permit maneuver
ing to a safe landing if an engine
failed. At present engine failure in
the take-off finds the ship with lit
tle altitude to maneuver out of a
ttall and crash.
In addition, bureau authorities said,
catapulting would permit the use of
smaller and lighter engines, because
all available power is not used at
present except in taking off.
Studies already have been made
of the development of catapults
abroad, especially in Germany. Ger
man technicians, successful in launch
ing trans-Atlantic flights from cata
pults aboard ships, now are adapting
the device for use at airports.

HEARING POSTPONED
IN MAXWELL CASE
School Teacher’s Plea for Third
Trial Deferred Until March 8
at Counsel's Request.
By the Associated Press. #
WISE, Va , March 1—Edith Max
well's plea for a third trial was post
poned until March 8 today at the re
quest of her counsel.
Hearing for the young school
teacher, twice convicted for slaying
her father, had originally been set
for today before Circuit Judge Ezra
T. Carter.
Only one attorney, Charles Henry
Smith of Alexandria, remained of
Miss Maxwell’s staff upon the with
drawal of the National Woman’s
Party from the case. Smith was ex
pected to base his move for setting
aside a verdict of second degree mur
der in her second trial on exceptions
made at that time. The sentence was
20 years.
The defense contended that the
elder Maxwell died a “natural death’’
while the Commonwealth charged
that his daughter inflicted fatal in
juries with an unnamed instrument.
