GAA AIRCRAFT GETS
SAFETY PAINT JOB
James T. Pyle, administrator
of Civil Aeronautics, U. S. De
partment of Commerce, has or
dered the 92 aircraft operated by
the CAA to be distinctively
marked with daylight fluorescent
paint to make them much more
visible in the air and thereby fur
ther reduce the possibility of
midair collisions.
Wing tips will be painted and
there will be two wide strips on
the upper and lower wing sur
faces. The entire tail assemblies
will be painted and there will
be a wide strip along the under
side of the aircraft, as well as a
stripe along the entire fuslage.
Aircraft not carrying airborne

On the nose.
All CAA planes are to be
painted in this design and with
this special paint. TheJirst plane
in the country to be so painted
is a CAA-DC-3 in which Acting
Governor Waino Hendrickson and

Legion Planning
Hew Insurance Plan
A new insurance plan for mem
bers of the American Legion is
being presented on a nation
wide basis, with all Legion Pasts
eligible to participate. The plan*
which is now taking shape, is
subject to final approval, and
will be administered by National
Headquarters in Indianapolis.
Members wishing insurance will
send applications and payments
directly to National Headquart
ers, local Post officers will not be
required to handle either.
The plan, as proposed, would
provide group insurance at a flat
rate of $12 per year. The pre
mium would remain the same and
the amount of coverage would
decrease with the age of the in
dividual. The amount of cover
age, including age 34 is $4,000;
from age 35-44, $2,250; 45-54, $l„
,100; 55-59, $600; 60-64; $400; 66
69, $250; insurance terminates at
age 70.
The reduced amount of cover
age at increased age levels would
apply individually. The alterna
tive to reducing the coverage
with age would be to charge i
substantially higher rate for all*
or to increase the premiums
steeply with age. The Committee
approved the reducing form of
plan.
The insurance would be on an
annual basis, with the same an
nual payment deadline for all.
members. The insurance would
be available only to Legion mem
bers and to remain insured in
subsequent years, each insured
member must be a paid-up mem -
ber of the Legion for the cur
rent policy year.
Final details are now beitp*
completed by the Insurer and the
office of the National Adjutant.
