CAP & U. of Colo.
Sponsor Aviation
Workshop
WASHINGTON, (JP)—A unique
higher education venture will take
place at the University of Colo
rado’ this summer.
It is the First Annual National
Aviation Education Workshop,
sponsored jointly by the Univer
sity and Civil Air Patrol and
planned as a basic, functional
course in aviation education.
In announcing the workshop,
which takes place during the last
half of the summer session, July
23 to August 26, Dr. Robert L.
Stearns, University president, said
that all facilities of the Univer
sity at Boulder, Colo., including
housing and recreation, will be
available to all teacher-students
enrolling in the workshop.
Enrollment in the aviation ed
ucation course is open to all teach
ers. No academic curricular pre
renuisPes have been set and both |
graduate and undergraduate cred
it will be granted.
Dr. Mervin K. Strickler, avia- j
tion educationist with CAP in
Washington, D.C., and director of
the workshop, explained that
teachers who attend the workshop
will have an opportunity to ac
quire aviation facts, concepts,
ideas and skills. The course, how
ever, will not be a “grounded”
theoretical course, he said. Each
teacher - student will be given
demonstration and orientation
flights and there will be visits to ;
nearby commercial and military
installations.
The workshop director said that
technical information will be pre
* i
sented in a popular vein, as far
as aviation education is concerned.
He added that those enrolled in
the course will observe and prac
tice a variety of teaching methods
applicable to aviation education
situations. More than that, they j
will learn means of utilizing com
munity resources in an aviation
education program.
This is the first instance, Dr.
Stickler said, that the Air Force,
through its official civilian aux- j
ilinrv, has set the stage for a na- |
tion-wide basic program to equip
teachers with the knowledge nec- i
essary to present a course in avi- i

CAA Weight Restriction
Order For C-46 Called
“Economic Blow”
WASHINGTON, (/I’)— A Civil
Aeronautics Administration order
reducing the maximum takeoff
and landing weight for passenger
carrying C - 46 planes by 3,000
pounds has been attacked as “an
economic blow” rather than a
safety measure.
This protest came from Amos
E. Heacock, president of Aircoach
Trans-Airlines, the only carriers
still using C-46’s.
The CAA order Friday was
based on a temporary finding by
the Civil Aeronautics Board that
the present allowable maximum
for C-46’s of 48,000 pounds is
unsafe.
This order followed investiga
tion of the recent C-46 crashes at
Elizabeth, N. J., which killed 56
persons, and at Little Valley, N.Y.,
in which 2 persons died.
NO MORE FREEDOM TRAINS
HOF, Germany, (/P) — Czech
border guards have tightened pre
cautions to forestall any attempt
at a second “freedom train” es
cape through the Iron Curtain,
West German border police re
port.
The Czechs have fastened steel
bars to the rails from A s c h,
Czechoslavakia, to the Bavarian
border to derail any unauthorized
train on this stretch, the Germans
reported.
German police said that only
trusted Czech railway personnel
possess a “safety wrench” to re
move the bars permitting the few
authorized passenger and freight
trains to cross the border to West
Germany.
The Czechs also are reported
busy digging ditches and erecting
electrically charged fences which
will discharge automatic flares at
a touch. Czech border guards then
machinegun the area systematic
ally.
