within the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority, having no other responsible
ties to break into its time, and free
to devote itself exclusively to study
and recommendations that will save
lives and increase public confidence
in the airplane.
Take all the Work of Govern
ment, add to it the constant efforts
Of the aircraft industry in its vari-
GUS parts, and you will know why
we look forward with confidence to
seeing air transportation break its
own safety records over and over
again.
13 College Training Courses.
Almost as soon as it was organized,
the authority began to develop
plan for training a large number of
civilian pilots. AS a trial effort. with
the aid of funds from the National
Youth Administration, we already
have conducted 13 training courses
at as many colleges in various parts
OF the country-courseS using not
only the college facilities, but those
at nearby flying fields. At the first
nine schools to get this course under
way, 220 students were enrolled; and
Evening star., 1939-08-01

there will be no economic loss. These
pilots will use their training in avia-
ton In peaceful pursuits. As me-
chanics in airplane and airplane mo-
tor factories, as dispatchers in the
airport towers, as workers In the
weather stations, as radiomen, as
aeronautical engineers, as airport
managers, as administrators and ex-
ecutives in aviation companies, they
will be more efficient and therefore
more desirable workers because Of
their knowledge and skill as pilots.
Furthermore, they and their friends
and families are more likely to be-
come customers of the scheduled air
lines. Many will be purchasers of
airplanes for business and for
pleasure.
Already the effect of our small ex-
perimental training program has
been felt by the ight-plane indus
try. All companies manufacturing
light airplanes report increased busi-
ness and some of them report diff
Guilty in filling orders in spite of 100
per cent increase in their produc-
ton. Certainly the increased en-
ployment that will grow out of the
proposed training program will be a
Evening star., 1939-08-01

by-product that will not be the least
OF its desirable features.
That is the story I wanted to tell
you-the story of how American
civil aviation has become today su-
preme In the world, and of how the
aviation agency of your Government
the Civil Aeronautics Authority
has co-ordinated the Governments
part in this achievement, during its
first year of existence.
Should any one come before the
microphone a year from now to
speak to a similar title, the figures
he will give you will be still more
impressive; the industries that deal
with civil aviation will be producing
still more planes, and flying still
more miles with even greater safety;
and still more of you in the radio
audience will listen to him with more
understanding interest because you
will have become regular air travel
ers and users of aviations service.

for aviation agreements with other

for aviation agreements with other
countries.
No form of transportation could
succeed if it asked its patrons to
assume undue risks, and in the
recent record of air transportation
nothing is more impressive than its
high standard of safety. In the
IL months that ended last night,
the domestic airlines of the United
States flew more than 73,O000 900
miles with passengers and carried
an average of more than eight pas
sengers in each airplane, yet there
were fewer serious accidents than
in any year since 1926, when there
was less airline flying in that year
than there is now in a month.
Safety Doubled.
BY any of the conventional statis-
tics by which safety is measured,
air transport during the IL month.
just ended has been more than
twice as safe as in any past year.
can report tonight that there
have been more than 100000
miles of airline flying since any
life has been lost in an airline acci-
dent. The total amount of pas
senger traffic during that no
accident" period has been equiv
alent to moving the entire half
million population of the city of
Buffalo from their present home to
Chicago without a single mishap,
or of transporting the entire Reg
ular Army of the United States,
from New Orleans to New York with
similar freedom from misadven-
ture.
The superstitious may feel that
should knock on wood when I recite
such figures, but it is not necessary
to regard them in superstitions
light, for they are not the result of
luck. They are the result of hard
work and wise planning, great skill
and great care. They tell story
of air transport lines and their peo-
pie, and of Government and It's
people, all pulling together.
Constantly improving standards of
safety come from a constant en-
phasis on safety, and an insistence
that no chances shall ever be taken
and no precaution neglected. They
come from the airline pilots pride in
their profession and constant study
to meet its demands. They come
from the work of research labora-
tories and airplane designers in i'm
proving the airplanes, and from that
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority
in setting the requirements that new
airplanes must be able to meet in all
matters affecting safety.
Contributions to Safety.
Increased safety comes from the
research of the airline operators on
means of navigating safely and sure
ly to the intended landing place, and
from the research of the Civil Aero
nautics Authority's own people in
the same field.
Safety comes from $4,000 miles of
modern airways, lighted and fur
nlshed with a network of radio
beams for guidance and radio
markers of various types to give the
pilot his location along his course
a vast ground plant set up and
maintained under the direction of
the administrator in the Civil Aero
nautics Authority, and improved
from time to time as new discoveries
in radio science permit.
Finally, safety comes from the
ceaseless study of accidents-not
only the accidents that have
happened, but those that might
possibly happen and that can be
prevented if they are foreseen ano
the necessary precautions taken. 1,
is for precisely that purpose that
the Air Safety Board was established
Evening star., 1939-08-01

Of these, 215 already have received
their private flying certificates.
We believe that these experiments
are the beginning of proof that a
very large percentage of the general
public can fly airplanes-particularly
since qualified instructors are ex-
travagant in their praise of these
graduates, rating their general level
OF efficiency far above the graduates
of flying schools that have not here
tofore employed the well-planned
flight course now prepared by the
authority.
On the basis of this experience
we asked, and Congress has author
lied, a much larger program for the
future.
This program is in line with the
democratic philosophy which main
tains that one of the best means for
national defense is the development
of civilian personnel and facilities
which can be quickly turned to de-
fense when emergency arises, but
which may be used for peacetime
activities If no such emergency de-
velops.
Program Won't Be Loss.
