AWAIT US. AIR LAWS,
LA GUARDIA ADVISES.
Minor Supervision Only at Present
State Commission IS
Warned.

r. VI. I.aGuardia, President OF the Board
of Aldermen, who had flying experience
during the worlds war. told the New York
State Aviation Commission in the Council
Chamber of the City Hall yesterday that
it would be a mistake for the various
States of the Union to pass regulatory
laws governing aviation in advance of the
adoption by the federal government of
uniform regulations for the entire country.
He made recomen nda tions for minor super
vision pending the passage of national
laws.
Five of the six commissioners appointed
by Governor Alfred Il. Smith to study
aviation in relation to the laws OF the
State were present at the hearing. Colonel
jefferson de Mon. Thompson, president of
tho Aero Club of America, chairman of
the commission, presided. The other
members present were Allan r. Hawley,
Henry b. Herts, Frank S. Voss and Chaun-
cey ID. Hakes.
other speakers were William Whitney
Christmas, president of the Cantilever
Aero Company, of No. 1859 Broadway;
Henry Woodhouse, editor of Flying, and
f. G.. Brown. of Beardmores, Ltd, of
London. 1t was announced at the end OF
the session that several prominent officers
in the Army Air Service will appear be-
fore the commission next week.
1.-The one thing | will ask you to do for
the present" said Mr.. LA Guardia. lis
not to pass any legislation governing
flights. ! do not believe it would be a
good thing to have regulatory laws now,
for the reason that if New York starts
and Massachusetts is ready to start to
enact laws of that kind it will result in
our having forty-eight different sets of
laws governing the air, instead OF uni
form law for the whole United States.
II would give the federal government a
reasonable time to act.
II would recommend to you to estab-
lish as many flying fields as you can
throughout the State
Mr.. Christmas recommended that the
State police be trained in the use of the
airplane and expressed himself in oppo-
stion to government subsidy for air.
plane manufacturers.
Mr.. Brown said he could see no more
reason for law prohibiting flying over
cities than for a law prohibiting the run
ming of automobiles through a city.
Mr.. Woodhouse declared that sporting
events in aviation should be conducted by
the International Aeronautical Fedora
ton, as they have been.
The commission will meet again at fif-
teeen minutes before three o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. There also will be
meetings Wednesday evening and Satur-
day afternoon.

VAL0R SET ABOVE
ALL ELSE BY US.
Acts of Gallantry on FieldHeld
Superior to distinguished
Service"

WASHINGTON, II. c.. Thursday. - In
view of the current discussion in Congress
concerning the awards made by the
American government for distinguished
services and acts of heroism during the
world war the National Geographic So
cietv has issued the following bulletin
giving the history of the three army
awards now bestowed and setting forth
the circumstances under which they are
given:-
I'm nearly all the countries which are
included under the term of Great Powers
decorations for distinguished services rem
dered to the state take precedence over
those awarded for acts of valor. this on
tho theory that the services of statesmen,
generals and other public men high in the
councils of the nation are Of more impor-
itance and therefore deserve higher reward
than do individual acts OF gallantry on
the battle field" says the bulletin, which
is based on a communication to the Society
by Colonel Robert 4. Wyle, L. S. A.
Set Deeds OF Naior Giibgcr.
"The exceptions to this rule are Great
Britain and the United States. in both OF
which countries the primary valor deco
ration takes precedence over all others.
and It is worthy OF note that the standards
set for these two rewards are not only
higher thanjin any other country but they
are also more vigorously applied.
Awards of the Victoria Cross (Brltjsh)
and of the Medal of Donor Americenl
are so rare and so jealousy guarded that
they are undoubtedly the two highest
honors which can be bestowed for valor,
and this may serve to explain why they
are placed first in their respective coun-
tries, contrary to the custom of all others.
An additional resemblance is that neither
is ever bestowed on a foreigner The
Victoria Cross is limited to British sub
jects by royal decree in the case of the
Medal of Honor there is no law prohibit
ing it's award to a foreigner. but it has
never been done. and custom is some
times more potent than acts of Congress.
The Medal OF Honor was instituted by
act of Congress In 1861 and was the ear
liest American decoration. However. it
applied at that time only to enlisted men
of the navy. In the following year en-
listed men of the army were included,
and by an act approved March 5, 1863,
it's provisions were extended to include
officers in the army, but naval officers

COL. LYDIG, LEAVING,
WARNS AGAINST B0LSHEVISN

Just before Lieutenant Colonel Philip
H. Lydig left on board the Lorraine, of
the French line for Paris yesterday aft
ernoon, he made a statement in which
he warned the Allied and Associated
Powers that they weer dealing with a
dangerous enemy in the Bolsheviki and
he expressed the hope that the higher
class of Jews of the United States and
Of the entire worlr would unite to pre-
vent the poorer and underfed portion of
their race from spreading the gospel of
Bolshevism.
1T is possible that the lifting OF the
blockade and the opening of trade re-
ations with Russia will have good ef-
feet upon the Russian people," said

The institution OF the Distinguished

states was in recognition of the fact that
in an army of modern times all tho fight

specially necessary in association with
military operations are equally serving in
the cause.
