WARNS OF STAT.UNG
Washiiiston.—The national ad
visory comraiit'’e for aeronautics
announced the development of a
, device which will warn a pilot
when his planp is about to stall.
i The new instrument turns on a
light, blows a horn, or moves the
control column when the air-
‘ plane’s sp^ed in tho air drops
' near the point v/here loss of con
trol occurs. It is this loss of con
trol that pilots call "stalling.”
When it occurs, an airplane may
fall from 100 to 1.000 feet before
the trflot can regain control. A
large prc portion of airplane
' crashes occur because of such un
controlled dives.

Mr. Jenkfns’ car was taken

the car was found in Winston-

driven from Atlanta. The baggage
consisted of clothing, golf equip
ment and other articles valued at
about $200. Then he bended for
Winston-Salem, where he was
captured. The baggage was re
turned to Mr. Schlect.
Local police proceeded to Win-

back to this cRv. Further com
munication with Atlanta officials
revealed that DeBerry had es
caped recently from the state
prison there, where he had served
only 13 pionths of a 15-year sen
tence for higl.way robbery, as-
sau1‘ with deadly weapon, assault
with intent to kill, and a number

home had been in New York be

Because transporting a stolen
car from one state to another Is
a federal offense, local police
called thp Charlotte office of the

to North Wilkesboro immedlate-
My to take charge of the prisoner.
