CONGRESS NOT LIKELY TO GIVE AVIATION HELP Graver Problems Confront Lawmakers; Few Bills Are Scheduled. BY ERNIE PYLE Scrlnns-Howard Aviation Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The new year is likely to be a slim one for aviation, as far as congress is concerned. The lawmakers have other and graver things to worry about. There is a real dearth of prospective aeronautical legis/aticn lor the new congress. The biggest things, of course, will be the annual appropriations for the army and navy air forces, the air mail, and the commerce department's control over aviation. These things have to be taken care of, of course, but it appears that each department will have to fight for every cent it gets. There may be an air mail investigation. And again there may not. Again the stumbling block is that there will be worse things to worry about. Clamor for Inquiry Independent operators have been clamoring for an air mail inquiry. And many congressmen passively are in favor of one. But it is hard to find a congressman or senator who is fighting mad over the air mail. The two most important aviation ' measures this term both are old I bills which failed to get through last j year. One is the plan of Senator Brat- j ton (Dem., N. M.) to put airlines | under control of the interstate com- : mercc commission. The other is the bill of Senator McNary (Rep., Ore.) to set up an air mail subsidy for trans-oceanic dirigible service. The Bratton bill will be fought bitterly, and probably has little chance of going through. Might Have Chance Senator McNary is going to push his bill hard, and it probably would have a good chance of getting through were it not that this will be a tight-fisted congress. Last year Senator Bingham (Rep., Conn.) had a bill to provide for the making public of commerce department findings on airplane accidents, by immunizing them from use in law suits. But the bill was fought to a standstill, and this year Bingham will not even introduce it again.
