Responsible post. Washington, D.C., Sept. 28. A post, which probably carries with it more responsibility than any other in the field of aviation, is held by Richard C. Gazley, New Chief of the Safety and Planning Division of the Bureau of Air Commerce, U.S. Department of Commerce. All problems relating to aircraft, airports, air transport, education, international relations, power plants, and radio development come under his direct supervision.
