NEN AIRMAL BL ON HOUSE SLATE Revised Measure Differs Greatly From First Mead Proposal. Complete reorganization of the New Deal airmail law of last year is pro- vided in a new airmail bill introduced in the House late yesterday by Rep- resentative Mead of New York by in- struction of the House Post Office Committee of which he is chairman. The bill, revised to meet objections by the Post Office Department and airmail operators, differs in many re- spects from the original airmail bill introduced by Mead last month. ‘The committee amendments include one demanded by Second Assistant Postmaster General Harllee Branch forbidding the Interstate Commerce Commission, in fixing rates of airmail payment, to take into consideration airline losses resulting from “unprof- itable maintenance of non-mail schedules.” Retains Rate Control. The bill retains the provision of the | original Mead bill urged by the Presi- | dent and the Federal Aviation Com- | mission empowering the I. C. C. to| raise as well as lower airmail rates. | This is intended to save lines which face bankruptcy due to operations losses. | Another new section, adopted to| satisfy objections by airmail opera- tors, would curb the right of the Post- master General to designate as pri- | mary airmail routes any routes of less | than 500 miles in length. Operators contended the original bill, giving the | postal head power to designate as| either primary or secondary any route except three primary transcontinental routes would have given him arbitrary and unreasonable authority and would have jeopardized the security of every airmail operator holding more than one contract. The law prohibits any contractor from operating more than | one primary route. Another new committee provision directs the Postmaster General to prescribe the number and time of de- parture of all airmail schedules and empowers him to put airmail on any &cheduled passenger or express flight by a plane of a contractor either be- Royal Family in Happy.

The new law would prohibit the holding of an airmail contract by any company which has as an officer or director an unnaturalized foreigner | or which employs any alien as a pilot | or radio operator. Other Provisions Unchanged. Other provisions of the original Mead bill are retained without much | change. They provide for consider- able expansion of the airmail system, | with a limited route mileage of 32,000 miles and an annual flying mileage | of 45,000,000 miles. The Postmaster General is permitted to grant an ex- tension of any airmail route of not to exceed 150 miles, provided not more than one such extension is given to any one contractor. Pilots, mechanics |, and other airmail line employes must be paid in accordance with rates estab- lished by the National Labor Board and working conditions for such em- ployes must conform to decisions of the board, it is stipulated in the bill. The new measure, worked out in executive session by the House com- | mittee, in what is believed to be nearly | record time for so important a bill, | now is pending on the House calendar and Mead is expected to press for | early action on the floor.
