Regulating Air Service.

THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
for Acronautics has submitted special report to
the President dealing with regulation of air
navigation air routes the whole United States
and cooperation among the government departments
in the development Of the air service.
The committee recommends:
An army air service under the Secretary OF War;
A naval air service under the Secretary of the
Navy with its activities centralized in a Bureau of
Aeronautics in the Navy Department.;
An air mail service under the Postmaster General;
Bureau of Aeronautics for the regulation OF air
navigation under the Secretary OF Commerce. and for
carrying out such policies may be adopted for the
encouragement and upbuildng of civil and commercial
aviation;
A National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
for the continuous prosecution of scientific research,
and in advisory capacity for the coordination Of
all aeronaucal activities Of the government.
The committee suggests that Federal regulation of
aviation not be accomplished under the existing
laws and urges enactment of adequate laws.
