Har lan and William Joseph Bren nan Jr. Qualifications for Tower Jobs Changed Changes in qualifications for aircraft traffic control jobs have been announced by James T. Pyle, administrator of Civil Aer onautics, U.S. department of commerce. The qualifications were chang ed in order that more people would be eligible to fill vacan cies in expanding CAA traffic control facilities. Pyle stated. Under the revised require ments for airways operations specialist positions, an intru- ment rating on a pilot's license is no longer necessary as in the past. The new qualifications per mit the substitution of one year at an accredited college or uni versity for nine months general experience or for 60 hours of solo flight. The old substitution of education for experience was one year above high school level for three months general exper ience or 30 hours of flying time. Eliminated from the qualifi cations for controller positions was the provision that six months of qualifying experience be within the 10 years preceding the date of the announcement of the examination. The other experience change permits three years of progres sively responsible experience as a radiotelegraph or -radiotele phone point-to-point communica tions operator to qualify for the next highest salary level.

January 31, 1957 Beaver Marsh Job Deadline Extended Washington U.PJ The Fed eral Power Commission yester day issued an order extending to July 1, 1958, the date by which the Eugene Water and Electric Board must start construction of its proposed Beaver Marsh proj ect, Sen. Richard Neuoerger (D- Ore.) said. The commission also denied a request made by the Save the McKenzie Association for a pub lic hearing on the extension. "I regret failure of the com mission to back- scenic outdoor values of the state by outright denial of license extension but regard the decision as partial victory in our effort to preserve the Marsh area since the com mission policy has been opposed to more than one extension," Neuberger said. The Oregon Democrat added that if efforts to finance con struction are blocked until July 1, 1958, any additional exten sion seems unlikely.
