Washington December 16 AP report says Captain Irwin T Pollock superintendent of the Naval Observatory laments a regrettable loss of interest in and understanding of the magnetic compass due to gyro compass development. He notes no details but cites a tendency to neglect the magnetic instrument.
Officials warn that destroyers and submarines favor gyrocompasses over magnetic compasses, risking navigation errors. Calls grow for more officers to take the compass course at the Naval Observatory, with the school kept open though only one officer enrolled this year. Reports cite successful radio time signals for longitude from Alaska to Sumatra and eclipse observations, noting potential increases in disturbances on Telegraph and other lines as solar activity rises.
