PRESS RELEASE
Safer Flying To Stem
From Rescue Plan

Camel corps, alpine climb
ing teams and floating wealth
er reporting stations may in
the near future be welded to-
gether into a worldwide
search and rescue service,
bringing greater safety to in
ternational air routes.
This unusual combination of
desert, mountain and sea faci-
lities, which would be only
part of a service for safety in
air travel, is envisaged here in
a plan outlined by the Inter
national Civil Aviation Organi
cation QCAO), a United Ma
lions Specialized Agency.
In a new set of standards
and recommended practices,
which may come into effect as
soon as the end of this year,
ICAO proposes a modest
peacetime counterpart" of the
search and rescue system
which saved the lives Of thou
sands of aviators and passen-
gers in World War II.
The antagonists of the war
built up large organizations to
save Shutdown air crews,
which had received sosmuch
valuable training that their re-
placement was difficult. Nc eff
forts were spared to pick up
friend and foe alike, the form
er to fight again and the lat
ter to be kept from returning
to the enemy.
The peacetime system sug-
gested by ICAO, however, will
be less elaborate, with empha-
sis on economy consistent with
reasonable protection for the
travelling public. ICAO mem
Der states would be called
upon to pool their resources
, 1950-08-23

and to formulate joint plans
for the conduct of search and
rescue within their territories.
In most cases it would be
sufficient to use public ser
vices, such as armies, air fore
es, navy and police detach-
ments. If they were suitably
organized and equipped, they
would be able to undertake
search and rescue operations
when emergencies arose. Only
in exceptional circumstances
would it be necessary to form
units exclusively to undertake
this search and rescue activity.
AS alerting posts, ICAO pro-
poses to use such existing es-
adjustments as outlying tele-
phone exchanges, police sta
tons, railway or cable offices.
1t would be necessary to estab-
lish new alerting posts only in
sparsely populated areas and
other places where communi-
cation systems are not highly
developed.
The ICAO plan also des-
cribes methods for organizing
rescue services and outlines
signals to be used by search
parties, as we'll as by survi-
Ivors. Nations participating in
the system would permit i'm
mediate entry into their terri
tories for search and rescue
equipment or personnel. Aid
would be given regardless Of
nationality of aircraft or sur
vivors.
The proposal also includes
rules for indicating the con-
tents of packages to be drop
ped to survivors. Red would be
used for medical supplies,
blue for food and water, vel
