Quigg Experiences Plane Failure Without Getting Off the Ground By h. d. quigg United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) "We just lost engine No. 1," the pilot said calmly over the radio to the La guardia Airport tower. He looked at me, in the co pilot's seat. "Now'i the time when you've really got to be on your toes, with one of your two engines out," he said. He twisted disls, he increased the power on the lone No. 2 en gine then increased it again. The engine's roar intensified. We' droned along and soon he said into his microphone to the tower: "We're approaching Flat bush on one engine." The air speed indicator was dropping. The pilot put on more power. Still the indicator drop ped. "If we keep losing speed, we're going to stall out," the pilot said. "What do we stall at?" I asked. "Oh, about 120," he replied. Then he grinned. "I know what's the matter. I forgot to feather that dead engine. "He tumeda switch. "Now see how the speed picks up?" It did back to normal cruis ing. We came on in and landed, tires squealing on the runway. No Danger Involved The remarkable thing was that we never, had been off the r 10 TO50 off! WE NEED THE ROOM FOR NEW STOCK!

We were in a box-like device with the interior built in a complete duplication of the pilot's com partment of a two-engine air plane. The "pilot" was A. L. Uelt schi. head of Flight Safety, Inc., a five-year old firm that gives advanced and refresher training courses to crews of business air planes. He was demonstrating the E600, the new twin-engine trainer developed by Link Avia tion, Inc. The windshield of the trainer is frosted over, giving the im pression of flying on instruments in heavy weather. A maze of electronic computers, similar to those in the business machine electronic "brains," gives the controls and instruments such realistic response that the ex perienced pilot feels he actually is flying. The realism is helped along greatly by the engine roar and other sounds that are built into the trainer.. Trouble Maker A flight instructor stands be hind the two pilots who are tak ing the brushing-up course. Out side at a separate panel stands Victor Forte, the "trouble-maker" of the flight. He mans the other end of the radio circuits. By flipping switches on the panel, he can cause simulated engine failure, engine fire, wing ice and other emergency prob lems. Ueltschi's firm specializes in : giving refresher courses to pro ; fessional corporation pilots on such things as the latest tech niques and emergency proced ures. Corporations in this coun try operate more than 2600 I multi-engine airplanes, compared with about 1100 operated by the j airlines. j Nowadays, with increased and more gadgets, the pilot has a j lot to keep up with. Airway ; traffic control alone, in con j gested areas, is a considerable j problem. In the New York area, : for instance, there is an airplane I taking off or landing every 27 secondSj. 24 hours a day, . .. Some 20 million of the 57.000,000 passenger car drivers ' in this country are women. ?fo)f?? Genuine HOOD Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS" Washington Sen.

Newly acquired documents are treated with scientific precision and hospital-like tenderness at the Na tional Archives here. Known as the government's "literary warehouse," its main job is to store state records. Ar chives officials also recognize the need to preserve the legibility of precious documents for future generations. - ; When an important paper 'is deemed worthy of storage by the government, it undergoes pains taking measures to assure pre servation. It is first put in a gas cham ber for a three-hour "delousing." This frees the paper of mold and other life-shortening parasites. . To give it a fresh new look, an attendant must then spray the' pai -er with an air gun. The more valuable ones are cleaned by hand, the others by machine. Usually valuable documents are given the lamination treat- 1 ment. This consists of placing the paper between two sheets of eel- ; i lulose-acetate, which is a cello- i j phane-like substance. Heat and pressure are applied until the acetate is worked in ; and becomes part of the paper's ! "pores." The result a shiny, ' transparent document. Now it's ready for storage. The I archives have 196 stack areas where there are no windows. ; Since excessive humidity is as dangerous as sunlight to the old ' papers, an automatic system con trols it and temperature. i Attendants continually make the rounds taking temperatures as nurses do with patients. The ideal condition is 72 degrees and ' 50 per cent humidity. j I Bombproof Safe I Preservation is also a problem 1 in the permanent exhibition hall. ' 1 The Declaration of Independence is already badly faded, partly due to damaging light Special filters now control the injurious effects of natural and low-intensity light. Photo-lighting is pro I hibited. ' Guards and mechanical devic i es protect such documents as the Constitution and Bill of Rights, ! as well as many other historic ! items. At night an automatic j ! alarm guards against unauthoriz- ; ed access. j j ' All exhibitions are sealed in bronze and glass cages filled with helium. They can be low- j ! ered at a moment's notice into a large safe,' which is bombproof, , ; fireproof and shockproof. i ! The archives' holdings amount i ' to almost 800.000 records, rang ing in date from about 1770 to 1955. A recent survey . revealed that over 8,000,000 items are in need of some repair. Total combined stocks of corn and small grains on farms and at all other points in South Da kota were 13 per cent smaller Jan 1, 1956 than a year earlier. No mail-ins Daily's U-Drive .
