Before pilot error" Is inscribed
on any more tombstones. 1t might
be we'll to explore the question: Who
is a transport captain anyhow, and
how did he get that way?
There can be no doubt that the
screening process through which he
rose bars from his profession anna
teurs and incompetents. dare-devils
as well as characters who are merely
impulsive, or old-timers losing their
grip on the controls.
The average chief pilot has sue
ceeded for Is years or 80 in walking
away from airplane landings. He
has digested enough laws, regula-
tions and procedures, Federal and
otherwise, to gray his hair = bit.
and enough operational experience
to lend him an air OF responsible
authority usually associated with
ocean shippers.
Pilots Risk Frequent.
AT IS he has travelled fast and far,
but not far enough to be less anxious
than any other family man to get
back to the wife and kidA, solvent
and in one piece.
Most pilots believe the Civil
Aeronautics Board. no matter how
thorough the examination Of the
wreckage and the witnesses, too
often chalks up an error" against
man who cannot explain what
circumstance or combination of cir
cumstances caused the accident.
They are convinced that many
decision, which looked like mis-
take to the second-guessers, was
based upon the best possible esti-
mate OF all factors under control
OF the men in the cockpit.
Behncke Hits Findings.
Their reaction, however. is some
what less bitter than that of David
L. Behncke, president of the Air.
line Pilots Association (AFL), who
declared, after the two worst dis
asters IN airline history, that you
can't eliminate accidents by in
scribing pilot error Unfortunately
on tombstones."
The spokesman for some 1000
airline pilots, In referring to the
CAB investigation which opened yes
terday into the recent fatal crash at
La Guardia Field, said that while
again there is starting to arise from.
the CAR the ciamor of pilot error
without any facts to support the
allegation, this time it won't be
so easy because the pilot in the
crash at La Guardia is alive to
defend himself"

minimum requirement of $500 hours

Europe Must Develop
Own Recovery Plans
Gen. Marshall Says
Bx Gornett D. horner

Secretary of State Marshall
said today that the next step In
development OF d program to re-
store Europe's economy must
come from European nations
themselves-Russia and Great
Britain as well as other coun-
tries.
He emphasized this at 3 new.
conference In refusing to answer
numerous questions about American
plans to meet what he described a.
q very serious" situation In speech
q Harvard University a week ago.
Gen. Marshall had asserted in the
Harvard speech that any further
economic aid by this country to Eu-
rope must get away from the last
"piecemeal basis" and be aimed al
providing "a cure rather than =
mere palliative" 1t has been re-
ported that the program envisioned
might involve an outlay of around
q, 900 ,000, 900 q year for some years
Gen. Marshall reiterated today
that the initiative In developing q
program Is up to Europe, telling
questioners that he did not think 1t
would be proper to suggest any spe-
cific procedures.
Includes Russia and Britain.
Asked to define what nations he
included in his reference to q pro-
gram for ecnomic recovery, Gen
Marshall said he ment the COM
monty accepted definition Of Europe
everything west of Asia. He
agreed with the questioner that this
included Russia and the British
Isles.
Asked If the suggestion had come
from Europe that nations there
should be left to work out an over
all economic program, Gen. Mar
shall said he had not received any
such suggestions directly, but had
taken note of numerous statements
including some by former British
Prime Minister Churchill.
Hopes for Korea Agreement.
A questioner pointed out that Mr.
Churchill's ideas involved some
form OF European political unity
and asked If he was indorsing that,
Secretary Marshall replied that he
is following the proposition that
European nations must get together
in some way to restore their econ
omy which Is essential to their po-
litical future.
On other matters. Gen. Marshall
said:
He hopes agreement by joint
Soviet commission in
Korea on procedures for consulta-
ton with Korean democratic par
ties will result in early formation
of a Korean provisional government
for all of Korea"
He hopes the prompt reply of
the Indonesian Republic to Meth
erlands proposals for an interim
federal administration representa-
tive of all parts Of Indonesia will
lead to "a peaceful solution" of tine
situation in the Dutch East Indies
soon.

In the case of proper feed, vi

and animal-as for poultry, they
are equally important. In fact,
it all depends on vitamins, their

skill.
