The AAF report went on to point out the definite advantage of time gained over all standard navigational methods including the conventional navigational Three Star H0218 system. "The Collins method eliminates the necessity of using 'dead reckoning' which is so vital to standard navigational procedures," the Robertson report concluded.

Nation-wide Architectural Design Competition Begins An architectural competition of nationwide artistic and historic significance was announced at St. Louis Saturday with the offer ing of $125,000 in prizes to secure a design for a $30,00,000 federal memorial to Thomas Jefferson and the pioneers of the western ex pansion of the United States. Site of the memorial is 80 acres now cleared in the downtown cen ter of the St. Louis river front, an area historic as the funnel of early migration to the west. George Howe, director of the contest, in speaking of college ar chitecture in the United States, said, "Collegiate Gothic and col legiate Georgian buildings are neither Gothic nor Georgian, but charnel houses of the mind, from which the corruption of death fil ters into the collective uncon scious. Stresses Originality. He has made his emphasis on originality clear to the sponsors of the present competition and in dicated that his idea of a memo rial is not a mausoleum and that there will be little likelihood of erecting a "charnel house" on the St. Louis side of the Mississippi. The competition is open to ar chitects, including construction engineers. Students in these fields are also eligible. Landscape ar chitects, painters, sculptors and laymen may take part in the con test by associating themselves with an architect. Architects are encouraged to compete as mem bers of such associations.

"The purpose of the memorial from which a design is sought in this competition," Howe has writ ten, "is not only to commemorate the past, but also, and especially, , to keep alive in the present and in the future the daring and un trammeled spirit that inspired Thomas Jefferson and his aides to offer men of all nations new op portunities under democracy by consummating the Louisiana pur chase."
