RUNYAN TALKS TO ROTARIANS Speaks on Commercial Aviation to Local Club This Noon Mr. Bland Runyan, attendant at the United Air lines station here, spoke on commercial aviation at the regular meeting of the Rotary club this noon in the Hotel Jefferson. Mr. Runyan said that' Iowa City's part in the observance of National Airmail week was very important because this city was on the first transcontinental airmail route, which he termed the "main line." He said that air lines today are endeavoring to answer questions pertaining to safety of passengers through various, achievements and reforms of aviation.

In mountainous areas, he declared, "minimum altitude mark is set and pilots must adhere to the regulations in flying." Baragraphs, he said, record altitudes of a plane enabling companies to keep close check on their pilots. East bound planes fly at odd levels, he said, and west bound planes fly at high levels to aid in avoiding accidents. The guest speaker asserted that, in direct contrast to the old slogans, air lines now stress safety rather than maintenance of schedules. He also told of the part played by radio in aviation and brought in other forms of safety measures being stressed by air line companies. An inter-club meeting with the Ames Rotarians will be held next Thursday evening, it was announced.

Guests today included Dr. A. H. Barker of Atlanta, with Dr. W.

L. Bywater; Mr. E. H. Davis of Des Moines with Mr.
