72 Passage of Aeronautics Bill | Hoped For at Present Session i ‘The leading position of this country in sporting aviation is evidently agi- tating Grest Britain, judging from editoriale in London publications de- voted to aeronautics. London Flight, i1 a recent jssue, scolds her home government for allowing America to jump to the very front rank by tak- ing world leadership In enduranc altitude and speed. Speaking of this inelination of our cousins across the nond, who regret American eminence in the air, B. H. Mulvihill of Pitts- burgh, vice president of the National Aeronzutic Assoctation, in an inter- view yesterday. sald: “These record-breaking perform- ances, of course, belong to the Army. That very fact {llustrates the effect | of Army regulation and control upon front-rank _attainment. ~ What the Army has done in the air under hard and fast rules and instructions eff- aiently applied, can be done by civil- jans when regulation and control of neronautics is written into federal| law as provided in the civil aero- :autios bill now befors Congress This bill has passed the Senate and s now In the House interstate and foreign commerce committee. ~Chair- wnan Winslow of the committee is Quite sanguine of ita enactment in the closing days of the present Congres }ie hak taken a very deep interest In the measure, and, with the sympath otio co-operation of Secretary Hoov Tas gone very thoroughly into th subject. oot bill which has been approved unanimously by the government de- Dartments operating air equipment. and by the leading civillan organiza- tions working for the alr supremacy of the United States, estabilshes & bureau of aeronautics in the Depart- Thent of Commerce. It seeks to pro- Vlde the needed authority for the expert inspection of fiving machines ‘he llcensing of alrcrait and pilots. for Installing and certifying air routes | AVIATION ACTIVITIES IN WASHINGTON BOLLING FIELD, ‘'he weather on the Model. airway Wednesday was the most unusual ex- perienced this year.

Walter Burrows received word 1. F. Hartigan, commanding officer 2t Fort Washington, Md., addressed Lhe reserve officers of the Army on the organization within the Army. Mor- ale and contentment of the enlisted personnel was the keynote of Maj. Hartigan's address. Last month he was awarded the D. S. C. for his serv- ices in the world war. Tomorrow evening Maj. Stephen M. Walmsley, Signal Corps, U. . A., as- sistant to chief signal officer, will ad- @ress the meeting of reservé signal officers on “Development in Signal Communications. his will be the i fained by pliots who have flown over | from his home that his| and terminals. and lays down rules for “;‘, the air which will bring about effective co-operation between our military, na- val. postal and commercial air activities. “Aviation being the most signifi- cant mechantcal development of our generation because it speeds: up dransportation and communication,” sald Mr. Mulvihill, “is Intimately and importantly linked with our scheme of national defense. That is prope but If civilian avi jon s to dep: from present stage of sporadlc experiment, then direction through federal regulation and control along proper channels is imperative. As see it, only through enlightened legiglation can a firm foundation for : civilized aviation be laid down upon which to raise & lasting structure of progress. “We all know,” he continued, “that the achievements of the Army which | Ili are arousing something akin to J.ll-’ ousy across the water, and the ac- | i complishments of the’ Navy, I forever will hold Its niche in history because of its first airplane flight across the Atlantic, would have been impossible of attainment under hap- hazard methods. Control by author- ity, regulation, required attention to ! detalls, applied by the War and Navy | departments, had pérhaps more to | do with the eminence gained for the , natlon by their air services than the personnel factor itself. No really big thing ever was done by blunderbuss methods. “Well in this civil ronautics bill,” sald Mr. Mulvihill, e are tearing a leaf out of the book of military and’ naval alr experience. Logically and in a broad-guage spirit we are adapt-, Ing known requirements for success | to civil aviation, certain that the re- sults will be marked in enormous ad- vances In our commerce, industry and finance. “The civil aeronautics bill compre- hends law that will bring out the potential strength of the country in attaining supremacy in the air.
