TIGHTEN RULES

AT CITY AIRPORT]

CAA Likely to Man Control Tower in War Move; Visiting Curbed.

Still bare and windswept since ast week’s Civil Aeronautics Authority order grounding all private craft, Municipal Airport yesterday began stirring toward some measure of its pre-war activity. But things will not be the same out thére for the duration. Major changes in operation are going into effect soon. New restrictions alréady have been laid down The nation’s largest airport in these early days of the war still is & civilian port. There are no indications yet that the Army will take over the field as rumored at City Hall.

Study Tower Transfer

But the Civil Aeronautics Authority is quietly moving in. In a downtown office building yesterday, Works Board members and Airport Superintendent I. J. Dienhart conferred with W. H. Kramer, CAA regional chief, on the transfer of the control tower from the City to the Government. The transfer will be made soon. This means that although the present traffic operation may not be modified, the CAA will establish control over all traffic on the field as well as at Stout Field, military port now nearing completion. ] Instead of the present control tower staff of four men, eight men will be assigned as tower operators. They will be employees of the CAA rather than of the City.

Tighten Visitors’ Rules

The freedom of airport visitors will be curtailed. Parking “to watch the planes come in” at night will be banned by extra police patrolling the grounds. Visitors no longer will be permitted to enter the grounds from the parking areas. They must pass through the passenger tunnel under the administration building where they will be subject to the scrutiny of guards. All gates leading to the field from the parking areas will be locked. Visitors will be restricted to the apron front of the administration building. They will not be permitted to wander on the field.

Licenses Invalidated

Under the CAA ruling, all private pilot licenses were invalidated Dec. 8. But pilots may have their licenses reinstated by presenting to CAA officials evidence of citizenship and loyalty. Planes which are not secured in locked hangars or staked out under guard must be rendered incapable of flying, according to CAA orders. There are few visible evidences of the changes being made. The airliners come and go on the same schedules, And a few private and student pilots who have been recertified are flying again. Load Secret Cargo But late yesterday, passengers aboard one ship received a grim reminder of the war. Soon as they had gotten out to stretch their legs during the stop-over, airline employees began removing the seats in the ship. As the passengers watched, puzzled, crates were loaded aboard the plane. The passengers settled down to wait in the lobby. It took some time and a good deal of exertion to hoist the heavy cargo through the narrow doorway of the plane. Onlookers wondered what the cargo was and where it was bound. The officials did not say.

Raid Rules Made For Al's Building

NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (Ut P). -~It’'s a long walk up the -102 stories of the Empire State Building, the world’s tallest building, but Former Governor Alfred E. Smith ordered today that all its elevators are to be halted during air raids, Detailed precautions were announced for the 1250-foot “struce ture.

MIDWAY HOLDS OUT, SENDS U. S. CABLES
