‘Amateur rocketry’
asked to discuss
launching with CAA
“Amateur rocketry” is becom-
ing a new hazard to air travel,
aid the C.vil Aeronautics Admin-
istration has requested that all
proposed launchings be discussed
with CAA safety inspectors.
' Over the country, enthusiastic
young amateur scientists are pro-
posing to launch rockets. Some of
these blow up and endanger oper-
ators, and some never get high
enough to be dangerous. If, how-
ever, they are launched anywhere
along the airways, or in the vic-
inity of airports, they are the
proper concern of the CAA,
charged with safety in flying.
Recognizing the pjss.bl: haz-
ards involved, James T. Pyle, Ad-
ministrator of Civil Aeronautics,
has asked that all proposed
launchings be discussed in ad-
vance with CAA inspectors as
well as local police and fire de-
partment officials.
Still more important to the
rocket launcher, the CAA points
out, is his legal liability if a plane
is struck by his rocket. He could
be sued for damaging or even
endangering a plane in flight,
CAA officials believe.
CAA Safety Inspectors are lo-
cated in 86 District Offices across
the country and are available for
consultation at any time and with
any persons contemplating the
launching of rockets or missiles.
Mr. Pyle made it clear that
there is no attempt on the part
of the CAA to either discourage
or to interfere with rocket or
missile experiments. The only in-
terest of the CAA in the matter
is the protection and safety of
the flying public.

districts may not be in agreement
with some, and pointed out more
sources of revenue were avail-
able to the state of Texas which
would make this a more logical
source for school aid funds to
finance Hale-Akin proposals than
funds from local school districts.
“Roughly 80% state aid and
20% local funds are used to fin-
ance school district operations,”
said Akin, who emphasized the
role local county study commit-
tees should play in recommend-
ing state and local participation.
One important thing he said the
state committee wants from local
committees is their recommenda-
tions on what he termed the “an-
swer on per cent of participation
by the state and local schools in
the (Hale-Akin) program”.
Current building programs are
now financed 100% from local
school funds derived mostly from
bond issues, and Akin expressed
his opinion that a part of the cost
of local school district building
programs should be shared by the
state. Hale-Akin committee mem-
bers present were urged to give
serious consideration to recom-
mendations for state aid in local
school building programs.
“Our people want good school
systems and are willing to pay for
them”, Akin concluded, and told
his audience the responsibility for
acquainting people with school
problems should be assumed by
those who are in a position to
know more about them.
Teacher interest in the Hale-
Akin program was stressed by
Akin throughout his talk.
