WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (AP) -James T. Pyle, acting civil aeronautics administrator, said today the airways traffic control system now in operation was inadequate although it is good and safe system." Pyle told a House commerce subcommittee the system handies far more air traffic than any other in the world, but he added: "Under the existing conditions it is not adequate to meet all the demands placed upon it without imposing extensive delays on the users." He said the system had been adequate, expansion until the following military the air Korean war, and an unprecedented increase in airline and business aircraft operations. Air Use Problems Studied.

The committee is inquiring into air space use problems in view of the June 30 airliner collision Grand Canyon, in which 128 persons died. It is by Representative Oren Harris, Arkansas. Pyle said the system lacked sufficient geographical coverage of traffic control facilities, personnel, communications and radar and navigation facilities, air-, borne navigation and communications equipment, and research and development on new control devices. "Our air traffic control improvement plan has taken all of inadequacies into account, and will cure them, if implemented, to the extent they are curable by governmental action alone," Pyle said. "The plan is designed to increase capacity of the system fourfold, provided airport capacity keeps pace with air traffic control capacity." Pyle announced that he had just concluded discussions with the chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board on the possibility of delegating to the CAA some of the rule-making authority of the CAB.

The CAB now makes the air traffic rules and the CAA A enforces them, Study Planned. He added that in his discussions with CAB Chairman James Durfee they had agreed that a study of the problem would be made under the direction of himself and the CAB chairman. "We intend to study the existing regulatory systems in order to determine whether it might not be desirable for the CAB to delegate to the CAA the safety rule-making authority in those areas in the CAA, by virtue of its widespread and highly skilled technical staff, have the most intimate knowledge of safety problems," Pyle said. "Because of the approach which both the chairman of the board and myself have taken with this problem, I feel certain that within the very near future we will have arrived at a solution which will improve Government's ability to satisfy the regulatory needs aviation." Bar on Detours Suggested. The possibility of prohibiting airline sight seeing detours over Grand Canyon or other scenic attractions was suggested yesterday.

Representative Walter Rogers Texas, brought out at yesterday's hearing that the airlines frequently divert their flights to give passengers a view of the Grand Canyon and Hover dam. He asked Oscar Bakke, deputy director of safety regulation of the Civil Aeronautics Board whether the CAB had made any recommendation against that practice. The answer was no. Rogers then inquired whether the June collision might or might not have been the result of such a practice. one of the many possibilities, we have considered," Bakke said.

As to the possibility of a bar on such sightseeing, Bakke said "that is one of elements being considered the bureau right the, now." Rogers expressed surprise that the CAB has not yet determined whether the Grand Canyon collision involved a violation of any air regulations. He inquired whether the CAB was delaying its findings or "keeping them classified" until personal and legal problems had been settled. Bakke replied that the time required for the CAB findings was one measure of the complexity of the investigation. He denied there had been any delays because of legal claims or for any other reason. Peter F.

Mack Jr. Illinois, member of the subcommittee, urged legislation also to consider- make an independent agency of the CAA, which now is a part of the Commerce Department.
