Le Roy Meisinger Says Its Study Must Precede Commercial Con- quest of the Air. 1 | The “ocean of air,” which followers | of aviation believe some day will be| filled with great air liners plying their{ way from city to city on regular schedules, must be studied from a me- teorological viewpoint, and the whims and fancies of the elements must be reduced to easily understood data be fore the dream of world-wide commer- cial aviation can become a reality, ac cording to C. Le Roy Meisinger, gov ernment meteorologist here. Mr. Meisinger, in a paper discussing the effect of air conditions on com- mercial aviation, says that meteorol- ogy is the mainstay of aviation, re. gardless of the confidence a pilot may have in his motor and in his plane. The “ocean of air,” he says, constant- ly is changing and does not contain steadfast currents such as' the gulf stream and the Japan current which are found in oceans of water. He points out that even the prevailing belief that far above are strong west erly winds which never change some. times is shocked by facts revealed through scientific study of aerial con- ditions. —_———— “Havana Specinl”—Only Direct through train to Key West.

The first move to exempt the salary of the President-elect from income taxes was made in the House by Rep- resentative Pell, democrat, New York. A Dill by the New York member would exempt mnot only the $75,000 salary of the President, but also the salary of the Vice President from provisions of the income tax law. Beginning next March 4 the President will have to pay an income tax of about $18,000 ler of the House naval committee. The House refused yesterday to sus- pend its rules and adopt a resolution designed to prevent the abandonment of Camp Funston, Kan. The measure failed through inability of its pro- ponents to muster the necessary two- thirds vote, the vote being 172 for to 110 against suspension of rules, or sixteen less than the required number.
