Need of Landing Device at McNary Field Gets Stress BY C. K. LOGAN Boycott of NcNary field by the Airline Pilots' association dur ing the winter is faced by Salem unless adequate temporary landing facilities are made operational before early winter and successful steps are taken to insure installation of an instrument landing system in the near future, James Matthews, Seattle, assistant flight manager for the : United Air Lines in this area, declared Tuesday. Matthews and James Rudolph, aeronautical agent for the Seat tle CAA office (safety agent), came here to meet with W. M. (Jack) Bartlett, director of the state board of aeronautics and the aeronautics committee of the Chamber of Commerce, J. L. Frantzen, city manager and others interested in the local ituation. Pilots In Earnest "Airline pilots are not kidding when they say they will refuse to land if conditions do not meet their personal requirements for both safety and service and their's is the final say in the matter," Matthews declared. As a result of the meeting City Manager Franzen was re quested to get in touch with the regional office in Seattle to learn if the ILS request for Salem has been placed in the 1950 budget now being made up In Washington, D. C, and to make strong representation for immediate action if it is. If it is not to be included in the budget it was said that "Salem is sunk." Request has been made for the inclusion. Installation of the ILS re- squires from three to six months, and if available now it is prob able it could not be in operation before spring. A compass loca tor, which is included in the complete installation, could be ready for use in a few weeks and would prove sufficient until the complete installation is made. McNary field, it was pointed out, is the only immediate alter nate landing place when the Portland facilities are fog. bound, and during the early spring was used by DC-6s which could not land at either Port land or Seattle. These will not use the field under present con ditions, because of the safety factor. It was pointed out that most of the fatal accidents have oc curred in a three-miles area from an airport between a range station and the field itself, wnicn is approximately one minute flying time for the huge passenger liners. It was also pointed out that between the latter part of October and early spring Salem does not have s minimum ceiling of 3000 faet deemed the necessary safety factor by pilots, and while the the ceiling here is between 800 and 2500 feet for hours later. Compass location facilities with proper range finding will per mit landings here, whether these are installed by the ULA or the city, with the CCA desig nating the frequency upon which to operate. importance airpssra i The ILS is the only answer to the problem of getting the pilot' safely on the field after the range station is neared. Use of the present ULA localizer until final installation is also prob-ble. Minor projects for improve ment of the field were lightly discussed, with Hal Sweeney, Salem manager for ULA, willing to install a neon sign at the ad ministration building designat ing the stop. It is surprising how many people land at the field are unaware that they are in Salem, the capital of Oregon, though the stop here is ninth in commerce on the system, Sweeney said. Also attending the meeting were Roy Harlan, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Burr Miller, representing the aeronautics committee; Wayne Hadley, Junior Chamber of Bee Whiskered E. D. Gill iam wears a beard of bees at the Dallas County Beekeepers association picnic at Dallas, Texas. He thought that the bee caging contest was a lit tle tame, so decided to try a stunt he had read about in a beekeepers' journal. Gilliam took a queen bee from a hive and placed it on his neck. Then waited. In a few min utes bees were swarming over his cheeks and neck to stay with their queen.
