M AVIATION PARLEY RESUME IS AT L Value to Medford Stressed by A. H. Banwell, General Chairman of Boise Meet Army Needs Reviewed A resume of the Northwest Avia tion Planning Council sessions in BoIm, Idaho, last week was given at 1De weekly luncheon-meeting of the Ltons club In Valentine's cafe Wed nesday afternoon by A. H. Banwell, the council s general chairman. Mr. Banwell'a tal follows: " While the meet'. ng was devoted primarily to aviation planning for the Pacific northwest, nevertheless there were many things brought out at the conference which are of vital and specific Interest to Medford. In the first place. Gen. Oscar Westover, chief of the United States army air corps, opened the conference with a splendid address on national defense. He stated that the most pressing problem now before the service was the question of army airbases. He expfcfnt& hat an alrbase Is not a single field' a unified, coordin ated group of fields, supplied with shops, depots, ground personnel and fighting strength. This is not a thing which a single community can achieve. It la a matter for unified planning on the part of the geo graphical region involved. "The general stated that bases may be established in private and com mercial fields. This statement should give us In Medford some encourage ment, as from the general's remark It would seem that there would be a poslblllty of our present field being used as a secondary base if the army established one In this district. Airport Size Puzzles. "The question of how large an air port should be was one that all the experts attending the meeting could not answer. The size of an airport depends on many things. Where It la located, for Instance, and then again no one knows what the next ten years will develop In the field of aviation, O. N. Montelth, vice-president of the Boeing Aircraft company, stated It was Impossible to predict what would happen In the next ten years and the only Idea one could have on this Is to look back and see what has happened In the past ten years and then visualize the possi bilities of the future. "It Is predicted that regular ser vice will be Inaugurated In the near future across the Atlantic between New York and London. The Clipper ships are already spanning the Pa cific and It was further predicted that within a few years regular aervlce will be Inaugurated over the north pole. Planes are now being built on the Pacific coast with elevators and spiral stair-cases, in connection with airports and future developments one thing was emphasized In which all the experts agreed and that Is that runways should be paved. "One of tha most colorful speakers em the program was Commander C. E. Rosendahl, America's No. 1 'llghter-than-alr man.' Commander Rosen dahl's talk drew the largest audience of the conference. He Is still a be liever In the possibility of using Ughter-than-atr craft for commercial operations and his splendid technical address proved his point. Ho dealt at considerable length with the wreck of the Hindenburg, which he saw, and It was his opinion, although the board of Inquiry has not yet estab lished the reason of the wreck, that It was due to fire as a result of the use of hydrogen instead of helium. "The question of airmail service ICE G.MAN. Earl Connelly, successor to Mel vin Purvis, directed G-men's search (or kidnaper;, of Mrs. Alice Farsons of Long Island. PAST WEEK AND HURTS S Blight Increasing in Jackpn County Orchards Hay Hurt, But Truck Gardens Do Well, Though Weedy leaoed sizeable was also thoroughly discussed and Instructive talks were given by Fred D. Fagg, director of the bureau uf air commerce, and Col. W. Sumpter Smith, principal aeronautics engineer for WPA. It Is Impossible to enu merate everything that was learned In a short talk, but within a few days we shall receive a set of the resolutions passed at the conference which will gtve a clear conception of the vast number of aviation prob lems which were thoroughly dU cussed. "Anthony J. diamond, delegate to congress from Alaska, gave a clear picture of the Alaska problem which Is one of vital Interest to every Pa cific northwest community. The con ference brought together the great est authorities of aviation In the United States and It Is doubtful If another meeting has ever been held where so many army, navy, federal government, commercial operators and manufacturers were present. Med ford made one or two contacts with some of these groups which should eventually react to our favor. "The next meeting will be held In Vancouver, B. C, In either March or April and It is highly desirable thit we have a large delegation attend at that time." PORTLAND, June 34.
