Air Safety Board
Is Reoreanized
Bye. A. A.
Hoyt Named Executive
Officer, Caldwell Heads
New Division

Consolidation of the three di-
visions of the Civil Aeronautic Au-
thority's Air Safety Board into one
compact division for economy and
efficiency of operation was perfected
yesterday. The reorganization goes
in effect Tuesday.
The move was based on nearly
years experience in the investiga-
ton of accidents involving aircraft
and is expected to result in closer
coordination. The board abolished
its information and publication di-
vision and merged its former inver-
tigation and technical divisions into
new investigation division.
AS result of the reorganization,
Robert D. Hoyt was appointed exec
utive officer of the board and Frank
Caldwell was named acting chief of
the new division. All sections of the
old investigation and technical di-
visions will be preserved under the
single direction of Mr.. Caldwell,
while the executive Office will carry
on the work of publications
The two new officers are former
Army pilots with long experience in
governmental and commercial avia-
ton. Mr.. Hoyt, whose home is in
Clearwater, Fla, was advanced from
his former post as chief of the old
investigation division. He served as
an Army pilot during the World War,
and from 1919 to 1890, when he en-
tered the aeronautics branch of the
Commerce Department, he did COM
mercial flying. He was transferred
to the Air Safety Board during its
early period Of organization.
Mr.. Caldwell also has served with
the board since it was organized He
served 18 months overseas in the Air
Service during the World War. In
1920 he turned to the air mail serv-
ice, serving in every capacity from
mechanic to division superintendent.
Prior to joining the staff of the Air
Safety Board, he was assistant to
the vice president in charge of oper-
ations for United Air Lines. lr
Mr.. Caldwell has dealt with all
phases of modern air transportation.
He is native of Utah.

Bureau Of Employment
Security Is Created
Under 0. N, Powell
Job Insurance and
Job Placement
Are Consolidated

Federal job insurance and job
placement, once the separate re-
sponsibilities of two Government
departments, but under one of the
recent presidential reorganization
orders placed under single direction,
are to be consolidated in a new
Bureau of Employment Security, 1t
was announced last night.
The new bureau will fall under
immediate control of the Social Sc
curity Board, itself a part of the
new Federal Security Administra-
ton. Oscar M. Powell, executive d.
rector Of the Social Security Board,
will serve also as director of the
new bureau.
Administration Different.
In many respects, the two Gov
ernment functions have been CO.
ordinated in their field operation,
but until the departmental reor-
ganization was authorized last win
ter by Congress the Federal admin
istration of the programs had en-
anated from different agencies.
The Employment Service, created
during the World War period, was
overhauled and strengthened in
1888, but has always been under
jurisdiction of the Department of
Labor.
The unemployment compensation
program, on the other hand, was
initiated under the omnibus Social
Security Act of 1885 and always has
been administered by the Social Sc
curity Board. The Social Security
Act did, however, direct that per-
sons seeking unemployment COM
pensation must register for work
with the Employment Service, and it
has developed that the State en-
ployment Offices have served as in
struments for paying the job insur-
ance benefits.
Early efforts to bring the two
under a single administration in
Washington were blocked by the
rivalry between the Labor Depart
ment and the Social Security Board
over which should take over the
others division. This dispute has
finally been resolved in the Presi-
dents order placing both programs
under the board and making that
agency in turn a part of the secur-
ity administration.
Three Divisions.
In last nights announcement of
formation of a new bureau it was
explained that there will be fur
ther breakdown into three admin
istrative divisions, one for unem-
ployment compensation, one for en-
ployment service and one for field
service
Mr.. Powell said in his initial an
nouncement that the special vet
erans' and rm-placement activ-
tiles of the Employment Service will
be carried over intact.
Next to the creation of new jobs
the most important thing is bring
ing men and jobs together" said
Mr. Powell. TOO much interest can
not be given to this phase of the
work of the consolidated agency. We
are asking every employer and every
worker to cooperate with us in
making these services effective in
bridging the gap between jobless
workers and every available job in
private industry. In all the major
industrial countries governmental
placement services are tied in
directly with the payment of unem-
ployment benefits"
