Confusion Over CAA---CAB
By James J. Strebig)

AeronauticS Board.
 Do they confuse you? Suffer no inferiori:y pains. Even members of the Presidents Air Policy Com mission have had to have the diff ference explained to them.
 And the agencies themselves have prepared statements defining their positions, to meet frequent inquiries.
 The confusion began in l94O, when President Roosevelt split up the Civil Aeronautics Authority, which had been established by the 1888 Civil Aeronautics Act.
 He left the five-man board CAB as an independent agency and consolidated the previously independent Air Safety Board with it. He put the bulk of the old authority's operations into the Commerce Department as the Civil Aeronautics Administration | OCAAD.
 In general, this separated the judicial and administrative func- tons in federal aviation.
 That left the setup which stands today as follows:
 The CAB is civil aviation's law making body. its economic god mother and its court of justice.
 The CAA administers the regu- lations prescribed by the CAB and operates flying facilities-airwaYs airport control towers. communi cations. experimental stations and weather reporting services.
 The CAB has about 300 em- ployees. The CAA has 14,0O0 serv- ing in every state, territory and in many foreign countries.
 To be more specific, CAB writes the safety rules, investigates the accidents and fixes the responsi- bility. It determines who gets new airline routes, what changes shall be made in those routes, how much airmail pay each airline should get. The board is responsible only to the President, who appoints its five members with the consent of the Senate.
 The CAA is headed by an ad- ministrator, responsible to the sec retary of commerce. His huge and farflung staff operates through nine regions, each of which is semi-autonomous with respect to many of its functions.
 The regional staffs keep an eye on flying 10 see that rules are not violated. that planes are properly inspected. that the facilities used by aiImen are maintained in working order.
