EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1940 Foes of C. A. A. Shift Emphasize Disfrust For New Sefup ‘Why Revamp Agency Doing a Good Job?’ Opponents Asking BACKGROUND— President Roosevelt’s fourth re- organization plan, now before Congress, orders the Air Safety Board abolished and the Civil Aeronautics Authority transferred into the Commerce Department. Nation-wide opposition threatens to result in a bitter non-partisan fight. when the plan reaches the floors of Congress. This is the last of a series of siz articles dealing with this controversial subject. By JOSEPH 8. EDGERTON. The status of the Civil Aeronau- tics Authority is affected not only by President Roosevelt's fourth re- organization plan, but also, to & lesser extent, by the somewhat earlier third plan. Although Sen- ator McCarran, Democrat, of Ne- vada has introduced resolutions opposing both plans, it is against the fourth plan that the chief op- position is developing. Reorganization Plan No. III, which deals with intradepartmental changes, in the language of the President, “draws a more practical separation between the functions of the administrator of the Civil Aero- nautics Board” (the proposed name for the C. A. A. following its trans- fer into the Commerce Depart- ment). ‘Under the original C. A. A. setup, the Authority itself had jurisdiction over the Safety Regulations, Eco- nomic Regulations and General Counsel’s Divisions. The adminis- trator took charge of the Federal Airways Division. Safety Regula- tions include certificates and in- spection, private flying development and regulations and enforcement sections. It was found in the practical operation of the organization that the certificate inspection and pri- vate flying development sections more closely fitted in with the duties of the administrator than with those of the Authority itself. In the in- terests of efficient operation, there- fore, the administrator also as- sumed the unofficial post of “super- visor” over these two sections. In the capacity of supervisor he worked under the Authority; as adminis- trator, he functioned independently. Under this unofficial setup regula- tions and enforcement came under jurigdiction of the general counsel Official Status to Changes. ‘This proved a more practical set- up than the original plan. The changes were purely administrative | and had little effect outside the | C. A. A. Reorganization Plan No. III merely gave official status to | these administrative changes, which already had been made and were in | operation. | It is significant, however, | officials of the Civil Aeronautics | Authority apparently were not con- | sulted by the White House in the WOODWARD & LOTHROP THE MEN’'S STORE.. SECOND FLOOR that | drafting of Plan No. III. It is believed that the plan reached the ‘White House via the Budget Bureau, before which C. A. A, officials had outlined the new arrangement and which had .studied the matter at the request of -the President. Although the apparent ignoring of the C. A. A, had little practical effect insofar as Plan No. III was concerned, the precedent was soon to be followed, with far more se- rious results, in the drafting of Plan No. IV. Here, in & matter vi- tal to its ‘yery existence, the C. A. A, again was ignored by the White House, it is charged. Offi- clals of the C. A. A. have sald in- formally that their first knowledge of this radical and fundamental change was the published text of President Roosevelt’s letter pro- posing Reorganization Plan No. IV, submitted to Congress April 11. Plan IV places the administrator under the Secretary of Commerce, while the five-man “Civil Aeronau- tics Board” is to perform its rule- making, adjudicative and investi~ gative functions independently, as as present.

The Air Safety Board would be abolished and its work taken over by the Civil Aero- nautics Board. : Many Objections 2 ‘Those to the transfer already have raised many objec- tions. They point out that once again the same body which makes and enforces air safety regulations and which provides aids to air nav- igation and maintains airways and intermediate landing fields would be in scharge of accident - investiga- tions in which, in many cases, it would be an interested party. Budget matters would again be lumped with those of the Com- merce Department and, as in the past, economy efforts leveled at the departmental budget in all probability would be distributed among all agencies of the depart- ment in a horizontal fashion, as happened in the case of the former Bureau of Air Commerce, and main- tenance of aids to air mavigation would suffer again as in the past.
