CODE OF SAFETY
TO GUARD FLYERS
Experts Drawing Up Rules to
Prolong Lives of Fool
hardy Airmen.
PROHIBITS TRICK FLYING
Low Attitudes Over Crowds Also
Frowned Upon-1nspections
and Tests Provided For.

To prolong the lives of rashly neg
ligent aviators, experts of the bureau
of standards. the National Aeronau-
tic Association and the Society OF
Automotive Engineers a:e drawing
up an aeronautic code Of safety, pro-
hibiting acrobatie and trick flying
and low flying over crowds. the Asso-
ciated Press has learned. The results
to be realized from the rode--in-
creased confidence of the American
public in the safety of air travel and
less loss of life through accidents
will have a tremendous influence on
the future of aviation IN the United
States, officials state.
The regulati when effective. may
have the jump on similar rule 10
be laid down by. the heavy hand of
Congress. for there is now pending
before the House the redratued Wads-
wor th- Hicks bill, providing for bu
reau of commercial aviation m the
Department of Commerce and which
now provides for unified air control.
But until such time as Congress sees
fit to no longer allow the nations
air force to tag along behind other
countries, officials state, the aeronau-
tic code of safety will easily meet
all necessities.
The provisions of the safety code.
the Associated Press Is Informed, Will
include:
Inspection of aviators and aircraft
in connection with the granting of IL
censes to pilots and air transporta-
ton companies; prohibition of dan
gerous proximity of aircraft in fight:
rules governing personnel AMI equip
ment Of airdromes, including medical
and signal equipment; aircraft radio
regulation rules for landing fields;
lighthouses for night flyers and land
ing.
Passage Is Expected.
The Wadsworth- Hicks bill in prac-
tically it's original form passed the
Senate early this year. 1t has been
redrafted by the foreign and inter-
state commerce committee of the
House to include unified control of
civil, Army and Navy aviation. Its
passage by the House is5 declared to
be assured, together with acceptance
by the Senate of its radrafted form.
Its approval by the PreJidenr ,s also
expected, as he has repeatedly de-
clared in favor of the legislation EN-
bodied in the bill.
In this connection the coming con-
vention of the National Aeronautlc
Association Is of interest. when uni
fed and expanded air power for the
federal government will be the pri-
mary object. The meeting will nave
in mind largely the development of
civil aviation throughout the coun-
try and will have the practical CO.
operation of Army and Navy au-
thorities.
Among the leaders expected to at
tend the convention are: Howard E.
Coffin, former chairman of the air.
craft production board: Benedict
Crowell. former Secretary of War;
Gen. Mason Patrick, chief of the
Army air service; and Rear Admi-
raj w. F. F-llam, former super.n-
tendent of the Naval Academy and
commander Of the Pacific fleet dur
ing the war.
Delegates will fly to ths October
convention from all parts of the
country. Speed and efficiency con-
tests. national and interna tional in
character, will be among the events.

BUREAU.
DismissaIs Tomorrow to In
cIude Those "Who Can
Best Be Spared"
STATEMENT BY DIRECTOR
Cut in Force Partly Due to Heavy
Reduction in Appropriation,
He Says.
STATEMENT BY DIRECTOR

Reduction Of $50 in the personnel
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing will take place tomorrow, 1t was
announced today by Director Louis A.
Hill.
The employees will be chosen from
among those who can best be
spared" it was stated. and will be
taken from the various departments
of the bureau, the names of which
were not made public.
Director Hill announced that the
reduction was made necessary, owing
to a lessening of work at the bureau,
from smaller orders. and also to a
heavy reduction in the appropriation
for the bureau for the present fiscal
year.
Night Work to BE Stopped.
AS a result of the cutting down in
personnel night work at the bureau
will gradually be eliminated. Director
Hill said, as it has been found that
the work now required Of the bureau
can be carried on by operation of the
day shifts only. Just when the night
Hill had not decided. 1t was said. but
this change was expected to take
place gradually, probably with the
stoppage of one night department of
the plant from time to time.
The changes will eventually result
in a saving of more than 100000 an
nually, Director Hill reported.
Not Due to Recent Probe.
The release of $50 employees by
action of the director this week was
believed to have no connection what
ever with the several dismissals last
spring occasioned at the time of Presi-
dent Harding's order changing the en-
tire official personnel at the bureau,
nor was 1t believed to be connected in
any way with findings of the commit
tees of investigation which have been
going over the records of the bureau
following the dismissal of former
Director Wilmet and his associates.
The Department of Justice agents,
who continued their investigation of
the bureau books after the official
Treasury committee had completed it's
report, are still at the plant.

Violates 8-Hour Law.

Assistant Postmaster General Bart

or misinformationh designed to create
unrest among them.
The statement, addressed to all postal
clerks. was occasioned, it is understood.

service was not properly observing the
eight-hour law, as 1t was cheaper finan-
cially to work regular clerks overtime
than to employ substitutes"
Excepts to the Statement.
Taking exception to the statement,
Mr.. Bartlett said that 'inasmuch as 1t
was put out in your name, we have
right to assume that 1t Is the expression
OF each one of you who are members Of
the association"
Mr.. Bartlett declared that it ought
not be necessary for him to deny the
charges. stating: I'VE do not save
money by working our clerks overtime,
In emergencies. when we are obliged to
resort to such a practice. the depart
ment has full and complete authority
in the law"
The federation. Mr.. Bartlett said.
charged the Post Office Department
Win Il Violation OF tne postal laws, ana
violating the law for the purpose of
saving money.
Would Merit Removal
"If it were true that those at the head
of great governmental department
were violating the laws Of the land de-
liberately for any purpose it would be
ground for removal" Mr.. Bartlett said.
1T is about the worst charge that could
be made against high officials. We-won-
der II you. our postal clerks, really mean
to make this charge or to indorse the
statements Of those who do make it."
