Separate Agencies Sought.
MIR. Kelley said after his talk
that his commissions chief OBJ

for his own and Prince Georges

holds that view because its mem

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del, Sept.
6.-Nearly 600 private airplanes
converged on this spacious air
port today and disgorged 1,400
sportsmen-pilots and their guests
for their annual roundup.
The flyers, who came from 20
States and Washington, D. c., are
members of the Aircraft Owners
and Pilots Association, an organi-
zation whose aim is to make flying
more useful. less expensive, safer
and more fun.
The pilots and their guests are
determined to have plenty of the
latter, for their roundup at Re-
hoboth Beach does not end until
tomorrow night.
Planes Vary in Size.
The planes ran in size from the
tiny Knight Twister single-seater
to plush Lockheed Lodestar with
seats for IL passengers. Every
popular make Of light plane was
represented. Today there were to
be aircraft and equipment dem
onStrations.
The Knight Twister, a home
made job built in the washington
area, is the smallest plane east
of the Mississippi. they say. It
belongs to Bob Baber. IS, an auto
mobile salesman of 36O5 Longfel-
low street, Hyattsville. Md. He
and several other pilots built the
little plane in a year, completing
it at Hyde Field, Clinton, Md. A
biplane, the top wing only has a
15-foot spread. and the red-and-
white ship Is but "a feet long. Mr..
Baber few the lis miles from
Hyde Field in the Twister in so

The big heroes Of the day were
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion men who brought the hun
dredS of planes in on the grass
runways at a rate of about three
a minute at the peak time, with
a high degree of safety.
Kenneth McMechen, tower man
at the New Castle Del.) airport,

tionS to planes with radio from
a CAA mobile aircraft traffic con-
troll. Meanwhile AL Rose, tower
controller at Newark, N. j., air.

nails to the incoming ships. Green
meant all clear and come on in,
red meant go around again be-
fore touching down, and alter
mating red and green told the
pilots to proceed with extreme
caution.
Air Thick With Flames.
At times the air looked as it
were full of mosquitoes, but the
CAA men had full control of the
planes. Mr.. Rose. who has brought
in $4,000 planes in 81 years, cas-
ually remarked that he took his
job in stride and pointed out that
the AOPA pilots helped him in
his job by abiding fully with his
instructions. Tomorrow night, Mr..
Rose will dispatch the ships to
their home bases two or three
at a time by using signal flags.
The CAA also handled all flight
plans. The Weather Bureau in
stalled a station at Rehoboth for
the special use Of the pilots.
The roundup had a full COM
plement Of well known visitors.
Prominent among them was w.
T. Piper. 70. president of the air
