Statutes. | By the Associated Press. It's open season on dead laws. The House Committee on Revision of | the Laws, which prevailed upon Con- | gress to repeal more than 1,000 obso- lete statutes last session in one stroke, is on the trail of more of them. The purpose of the revision group is | to strip the Federal statutes of laws| which subsequent legislation has made | obsolete. Compliation of the list re- pealed last on took four years. Congress, example, has passed several laws prescribing rations for Army men. As new ones were enacted, old ones were left on the books. So, | | to conform to the letter of all existing ration laws, soldiers would have had to | eat about & dozen meals a day. | Rules for Territories. Federal laws regulating territories | which have become States were still | haunting the statute books before the | Revision of Laws Committee dug them up for congressional repeal. Not only does this dead wood clutter up the already bulky statutes, says the committee, but it breeds technical tangles when lawyers haul out laws which are obsolete but not actually re- | pealed, Representative Byron Harlan, of Ohio, chairman of the committee, hopes the weeding-out process will eventu- ally be handled by & permanent joint committee of the House and Senate.

Kinney, Commerce De- partment, First in World to Ac- complish Feat on Long Flight. The world's first long-distance cross- country flight ending in a “blind” land- g was made Monday by James L. Kin- ney, Department of Commerce pilot, ac- cording to report received here by de- partment officials. Taking off from College Park Alr- port, College Park. Md., in the face of rain, fog and thick weather, which kept all other planes on the ground along the coast, Kinney flew blind to Newark, N. J., and landed there in the fog with the assistance of the new De- partment of Commerce blind-landing redio installation now under test there. Kinney reported by telephone to Washington that he did not see the ground once from the time he left Col- lege Park until he had crossed the fleld boundary and was ready to put the ship on the ground at Newark. He flew the 200 miles on the Department of Com- merce radio beams, reported his in- STAR, WASHINGTON, BRITISH COAL USED TO MAKE NAVY 0L Contract for Year’s Supply of Aviation Gasoline Let by Ministry. LONDON (#).—A contract for a year’s supply of aviation gasoline made from British coal has been placed by the air ministry. This action follows by a month the first order the admiralty has ever placed for fuel oil made from British coal for one of its destroyers. An entire home defense squadron, equipped with high performance fight- ing airplanes, is now flying solely on the new-type gasoline as a fuel scale experiment. Col. W. A. Bristow, managing di- D.

Whaling was established as an in- dustry in South Jersey just 300 years ago in Delaware Bay and off the coast. | A Dutchman, Capt. David Peterson de Vries, is said to have been the first | man 'to put whale fishing on a com- ! mercial basis in this country.

Harlan points out, to put repeal legis- lation through both houses, | “Some day we hope to extend the | revision work to include simplification and_shortening of laws,” he explains. “We hope to develop a style of legis- lative expression which will make every law short, to the point and unmistak- | able in its intent. Complicated, ver- | bose statutes give lawbreakers a good ;h]ance to escape through technical loop- | holes.” | | | “Boiling Down” Impertative. t | With each Congress piling new laws | on the already massive_collection, it is | considered likely that Federal statutes | might eventually grow beyond human comprehension. ~Harlan says continu- ous culling of old laws and “boiling | Cown” of new ones is imperative. | “Clarifying and shortening our laws would improve the whole system of legal procedure” he contends. “Court action would be speeded up. Compli- cations would be avoided.” | James A. Reed of Missouri, when he retired from the Senate in 1929, said: “We have enough laws now to govern us for 10,000 year.” FEDERAL JOBS LIST | | MAY BE PUT ON SALE| PR ReE { | Grant to Confer With Documems} Chief on Plan Affecting U.
