Win govers All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . Nate Ward tells us that Wm. R. Staff of the CAA was a Delta vis-itor Friday, on a routine inspection trip. Mr. Staff is a CAA supervisor whose district includes all the CAA towers and stations in Utah. Jack Forsey, CAA flight examin-er, is scheduled to be in Delta on Wednesday, this week. Lawrence Whitney, who did some commercial flying here last summer, called the airport from Denver Saturday night and chat-ted with Bob Nichols and Lola Burraston.

It looks to me like somebody tried to make :a big blow about nothing. At first glance, a reader might get the impression that 'the CAA station at Cedar is something extra special, but at second glance any doughhead can see that the achievements listed are strictly routine. The item is headlined, "CAA sta-tion makes 18,013 weather obser-vations in 1951". Now 18,000 of anything looks big, but when you stop to think that CAA stations usually make two such observa-tions per hour, or 48 per day, with occasional extra when changes in the weather warrant, one com-mences to see the 18,000 figure cut down to size. Delta made as many or more and so did every other station. The Cedar station claims to have supplied weather information to 2431 persons other than pilots, and briefed 1135 pilots on 647 flights during the year. Looks big, but 647 flights average less than two a day. The only point in bringing this up is to show just how a clever write-u- p can make routine work look impressive. There's nothing wrong with the Cedar City report. It's strictly "accurate. But if any reader should conclude from the "impressive" figures that the Ced-ar City station is extraordinary in any way, that reader would be swallowing publicity hook, line and sinker. and San Juan, DC-- 4 planes, and charging about 3 cents per mile fare. PRIVATE JET PLANES have been developed by a French company. A low thrust jet engine built o Turbomeca', of Bordes, France, recently propelled a two passenger airplane at 238" mph. Continental Motors, through its subsidiary, Con tinental Aviation & Engineering Corp., has acquired rights to build the little jet engine in the U. b. Continental expects to sell it tor use in four-plac- e executive type planes, of 200 to 400 mph. in this county. The chief problem to be over-come is the engine's "super high fuel consumption. This, presumab-ly must be reduced if a large mar-ket for the engine is to be found. THE AIR FORCE, or at least a part of it stationed at Wright Field has been subject of both ribbing and criticism from Congress as a result of an order for 20,156 super deluxe upholstered typist chairs. It seems the chairs are fancier even than those which typists hold down in the seat of government and the. extra expense involved is $200,000. A Congressional sub-committee protested the extrava-gance, early in December, and in January got a reply saying the delay in replying had been occas-ioned by the need for "additional studies". The boys at Wright Field then' continued to "study" for weeks the question of whether use of the standard type chair would result in "real economy" for the government. The subcommittee, which is hea-ded by Rep. Herbert, fin-ally recommended immediate can-cellation of the order for sup-dup- er ohairs, and threw in the gratuitous recommendation that the Air Force for testing air-craft use its personnal for the defense of the nation and leave the testing of chairs to the General Services Adminis-tration. Congressmen decided that the" Air Force should "Get airborne, not chairborne", according to the Wall Street Journal. IN THE NEWS .... The Wall Street Journal is an excellent source of aviation news, as witness the fact that it is the paper most often quoted by the CAA Digest. Perusing the WSJ we have run across a number of items which, we imagine, may appear in the Digest before long. Here are some items that strike us as inter-esting: THE CAB has approved a tourist air rate to Europe of $270 one way, and $417 to $486 round trip, depending on the season. The Board lalso announced that it would not authorize flights across the Atlantic, partly because it desired to assure the success of the "experiment" of low fare tourist rates. Chartered flights by the scheduled airline will be autHorized, however. SIX RAILROADS, including the Union Pacific, asked the CAB to let them intervene in hearings to extend the certificate of Mid West Airlines, on the grounds that the operation of the air line will mean heavy loss in revenue for the rail-roads.
