AIRLINE ROUTES |

Air Commerce Bureau and

Postoffice Department Seek Change.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 256 (U. P). —An interdepartmental ment committee is studying over- |

Govern- |

lapping authority in the regulation ji

of ‘commercial aviation, it Was learned today. |

1 Regulatory authority is now vest- 3

ed in the Post Office Department | and the Bureau of Air Commerce; | the Post Office Department over | both schedules and routes of air-| lines ecarrving the mails, and the | Bureau over the safety factors, involving all commercial airline oper- | ations, including mail-carriers. Al bill before Congress would transfer | all control merce Commission. There is some complaint of ov er- | lap between regulatory functions of | the Postoffice Department and the | Bureau of Air Commerce. Final | authority on operations lies with | the latter. The Bureau actually | controls scheduled commercial operations mile-by-mile and determines, | for instance, whether planes shall | duck through canyon cutoffs or fly over mountainous obstructions. The Bureau also regulates speed, height | of flight and all phases of an air-, plane's progress from point to point. Safety Tests Claimed

Officials insist that no commercial routes have been approved for transport operations which have not been tested as far as practicable for safety.

The Bureau recent airplane forts of pilots

does not attribute accidents to efto short-cut ap- | proved routes, although there is no satisfactory method now of de- | termining after a crash whether a pilot was off course deliberately or | by accident, Usually, however, the | accidents occur with planes off course in such a way that they would lose rather than gain time. | In explaining over-lap of Federal | control, officials said the PostofTice | Department in entering into a mail contract with an airline, might specify the route to be flown. But un- | der the law, the airline operator must get the Air Commerce Bu- | reau’s approval of the route. If | the Bureau finds that it involves unusual hazards, it could disapprove it. The airline ‘operator | would have to go back to the Post- | office Department to work out another arrangement.

Could Block Contracts

Under airmail contracts, airlines must carry out a specified number flights within time limitations and conditions. Frequently, an of- | ficial explained, airline operators seek Postoffice permission for immediate change of time for certain scheduled flights to meet competition of a rival carrier. If the Air Commerce Bureau finds that a plane flying the new schedule would be following too soon after or before another ship over the sam~ course, it could bar the flight. “Insofar as mail-carrving airlines | are concerned,” an Air Commerce official said, “our job is to see that the schedules are spaced out for safety purposes.” The Postoffice Department also may specify minimum speeds at! which the mails may be carried. If the Air Commerce Bureau finds that to attain these minimums an airline would have to “push” its ships at speeds not conducive to safety, it would refuse to certify the flights. The Bureau also has this authority over airlines which do not carry the mails. An Air Commerce official said the Bureau was not seriously con- | cerned with frequency of flight] schedules.

Insists on Beam Routes

| “An operator may make as many | flights as he wants providing they | meet with all our Safety require- | ments,” he said. f The Bureau insists that fliers | follow specified routes under given conditions. For example, under or- | dinary conditions, a commercial airliner flying from Washington to Cincinnati must follow the radio beam to Pittsburgh and there pick up another beam to Cincinnati. | This course follows the outline of two sides of a triangle. If lying conditions are perfect, the plane may be authorized to fly a straightline course from Washington to Cincinnati over Charlbston and | Huntington, W. Va.

Airlines Propose Routes

. Should conditions require that| the plane fly the longer, indirect | course, and the pilot attempts a short cut, the Bureau could penalize the line for an infraction of the regulations. Routes are always proposed first by the airline operators. Some of them may call for straight line point-to-point flights. Others may call for a zig-zag course to avoid dangerous country or to take advantage of air navigation aids. The Bureau has authority to make changes in routes in the Interests of safety. Also, if an air- | line finds it can save flying time by & change in the course, it may | seek the Bureau's permission to change.

Hope to Get Get Diploma 0 Honor at Exposition.

PARIS, Nov. 25 (U. P.).—Wine growers of California, who entered a collective exhibit, are hoping to obtain a “Diploma of Honor” when the Paris Exposition makes its wine

Any awards will be given collec- | tively to the group, which includes Beringer Brothers of Saint Helena, Napa County; F.

After the tasting, which took place last week, the jurymen submitted their reports to a superior jury which is now considering the merits of the products. Raymond Harper, American lewver of Paris, who is representing the Califcrnia growers on the jury, told the United Press that “of course we would like the California group to receive the Diplome de Grand Prix, which is the highest award.” “But T hardly think we can hope he said. “However, I think and hope we shall get the next best, which is a diploma of honor.”
