Aviation Tragedies AwakenPlan
for Inspection of Craft.
Will Be Urged at International
AerOnautic Federation.
MEETING IN PARIS.
Holes" in Atmosphere Another
Thing to Be Considered.
Recent Additions to American
Club Include NOtables.

New York. Jan. 4-In view of the long
series of tragedies which marked the
course of aviation in 1910. the Aero Club
OF America will urge the International
Aeronautic Federation at it's meeting In
Paris next week to establish a system
OF thorough official inspection of all ae-
roplanes and balloons flying i'll any ex-
hlbition or contest throughout the
world An additional recommendation
is for an investigation of atmospheric
conditions, particularly in regard to the
much discussed and disputed .'holes'' in
the air.
The rules for inspection are to provide
also for investing in the proper auth
ority power to exclude from flying in
any exhibition or contest such aero
planes or balloons as the official inspec-
tion may determine dangerous to the pi-
lot or spectators.
Recent additions to the membership of
the Aero Club of America include Rus
sci Grace, a cousin of Cecil Grace who
was lost in cross channel flight; Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, William Travers
