ANTICIPATING THE REQUIREMENTS OF AVIATION The Lea-Bailey hill to amend the Civil Aeronautics Act, not only represents 3 continuation of the farsighted policy of Congress to promote further successful ef- forts of the aviation industry in assisting the government in war work, but it also fos- ters peacetime development of aeronautics. The current annual report of the Civil ‘Aeronautics Board attests the value of this aviation policy. It shows how, under the } act, our air lines have been able to co- cperate with the military services and con- tinue to operate under private management, although their peacetime functions were | subordinated to war needs, When war was declared, our air car- | riers had available the equipment and per- } sonnel for transfer to direct’ military ser- capable of thereby relieving the military commands of time and effort necessary to provide such facilities. Both Army and Navysare utiliz- | Ao. send sup- | rb ing the carriers’ organizatio: theater of war, ional leaders recognize that the United States needs far-sighted avia- | tion policies to maintain world leadership in air defense and commercial air service. Publicity is a poison that seriously damages the thinking apparatus of individ- uals. An estate near Landon is held for the period “unti) the world’s rotten.” Well, the condition has arrived.

Bascom L. Grooms “flies off the han- die,” like mest of us, and may “ily” off it more quickly than some of us, though not quite as quickly as the writer. But you don’t have to tax your mind to determine where to “place” him. He doesn’t keep back any- thing he feels he should tell you. His frank- ness is as bare as a bleached bone. What he is to your face, he is to your back. His-position as head of_a_utility makes him the butt-of unjust attacks. As a rule, all | one histo: dorto. losé-his fiends is io step into the presidency ef a public utility. But Bascom L. Grooms has proved to be so good a give-and-take buffer pony he ably represents and the public he striciently serves, he stands out today as me of the best liked men in Key West. What prompted us to write this edi- | torial, however, is not Mr. Grooms’ record in advancing from the operator of a wolley ear to the head of his company. We had in mind the free and unstinted service he has given to his community. Ever since he came i to. Key West he has_ been active im civic work, and he has given cheerfully of his | time, his labor and his money with the only object in view of serving his community and striving to promote its interests.
