GOVERNMENT APPROVAL SENDS PILOTS INTO AIR

With the announcement telephoned from Washington yesterday that the final contracts are on the way, Harvard's civilian pilot applicants will take to the air by the end of this week, according to Dr. William Bollay, instructor in the ground course.

These contracts of the Civil Aeronautics Authority with Wiggins Airways, the University's flight operator, are all that have been holding things up for the last two weeks, Bollay declared, and as soon as they come and a schedule of training flights has been made out, the students who have passed the necessary requirements will graduate to the East Boston airport, where Wiggins has installed a fleet of 20 new Piper Cubs for the course.

No reply has been received yet to last week's request for an increase in the enrollment quota, Bollay said, but he feels that the chances for the addition of about 40 more men are very good. At present there are 80 men left out of the 185 original applicants.
