Mr. Swanson emphasised that the permits to the Pan-American Airways did not allow a monopoly on the lalands. Further, it is provided that the Navy may take over the commercial facilities at

any time in the event of a national emergency.

Thus the Navy will obtain, gratis, air bases stretching most of the way across the Pacific and to Japan's front door.

ROBOT PILOT FOR

OCEAN PLANES?

U.S. TESTING RADIO CONTROLS

ARMY PLANE'S FLIGHT OVER PACIFIC

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1981. Received, March 14, 10 am)

Oakland, Mar. 18. Robot pilots, directed by an operator in a radio- room here and another in Honolulu, may take heavily- loaded planes on their flights over the California- Hawaii commercial route, and, later to the Far East.

The first flight of this sort was made to-day when a mystery plane flew 170 miles out to sea, directed by radio beam from Oakland. The experiment was kept a close secret, but it is believed that an accident, an up- setting of the control mechanism, prevented the test plane continuing on its flight to Hawaii.

The directing of a "blind" flight to Hawaii would preclude the possibility of a pilot over-shooting his mark or becoming lost at sea by missing his destination, as has happened heretofore, with tragic consequencès.
