Archie Roth of the Oregon State Board of Aeronautics. He was speaking to 66 independ ent and Sheriffs' aero squadron members from every section of the county, who gathered at the court house to hear about the national guard air reserve plan.

To detail the plan for listeners was Director W. M. Bartlett of the Aeronautics board. He said the idea behind the organization is a centralized system for controlling all private planes in case of a war emergency.

If there is a con trolling organization to coordinate activities, there is a better chance that the private "props will keep turning," he said. The plan is to secure all avail able information about the approx imately 1700 private aircraft in the slate and activate an organ ization on a local level under a central national guard reserve, he said. The importance of a local level operation is greater efficienty, ac cording to Bartlett. He pointed out that key men in those local sec tions know their men and facili ties, thus leading to efficiency of coordination, and control.
