Patuxent River Maryland reports that U S Navy aircraft losses and accidents have dropped sharply thanks to two British ideas. The angled flight deck is now standard on carriers. A mirror and light system, the MLS, guides pilots and eliminates the landing signal officer, cutting the annual landing accident rate to .98 per 1000 from 24.

Comic Leads To Boy's Death

A 12 year old boy in Leban unintentionally hanged himself trying to copy a comic book stunt. Police reported the child Daniel T. Dmytheshin placed a rope from a rafter and leaped to trigger a mock puppet, the book open on his bed showing the scene with a rabbit and a swinging dummy. The tragedy occurred after his mother returned and found him suspended feet a few inches from the floor.
