BROOKS FIELD AIR COPS
FLY OVER CITY CHECKING
UP TRAFFIC VIOLATORS
Get Their Number if They Break the Law-Can't
Argue Him Out of Turning You In-In Fast Ships
and There Is No Getting Away-"No Loafing
Allowed" in the Sky by Student Pilots.

Residents of San Antonio who en-
terrain the fear that some day an
airplane will come crashing through
the roof Of their house will be inter
ested TO learn that strict regulations
regarding flying over the city arc en-,
forced at the Primary Flying School
at Brooks Field, where pilots are first
tanught to fly. Every filler at the
tield. including students and instruc-
tors. ore subject TO regulations.
No student pilot is permitted to fly
over the city at any time, and all
are required to keep within radius
Of five miles of Brooks Field except
when on authorized cross-country
flights. Instructors are not allowed 10
fly over the city under an altitude
of 1000 feet. This altitude is suffi-
cient TO afford an experienced pilot
ample time to pick out landing place
should something go wrong with his

by graduated cadet filters or student
officers who have graduated from the
flying course. Sometimes, however,
officials of the post patrol the air and
see that all regulations are being
rigidly enforced.
No Politics In the Air.
One feature of the aerial police
system at Brooks Field is that il
leaves no chance for partiality on the
part of the pilot patroling the air. He
is under instructions to get the num-
Der of the ship violating regulations.
and when he takes number he does
not know whether cadet, student
officer. instructor. or high post Of
fetal is flying the plane.
Officers at Brooks Field state that
very little trouble is encountered by
anyone violating the flying regula-
tons. Cadets. student officers and
full to observe the regulations, and
student been found flying over the
city. These instances did not repre-
sent wilful disregard of the law. the
students having become so interested
in flying their plane that they allow
al it to get over the restricted dis
t.ict.
"No L0afing Allowed"
Another reason for maintaining aer-
ial police at Brooks Field is to see
that student pilots do not loaf in the
air. Some students. after they learn
to fly and are sent off for morn
ing flight, are prone fly aimlessly
around through the air. A student
pilot is supposed to be doing some
specific aerial maneuver every mo-
ment he is in the air, and when he is
not doing this he is guilty Of loafing

Cop Has a Speedy Ship.


These regulations are not merely
given to the aviators with an order
to observe them. but regular police
ships from Brooks Field patrol the
air and see that they are observed.
The aerial cop usually flies in n Spad
or DeHaviland plane. n type faster
than the ING training plane. used
almost exclusively at Brooks Field.
by means of the faster ship he can
easily outfly the pilot who has dis
regarded an aerial traffic regulation,
get his number. and be waiting for
him when he returns 10 the field.
For violation of these flying regu-
lations n pilot is dealt with severely
by officials at the field. and repeti-

KELLEY URGES
6O-DAY SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
State System All Wrong,
Cheyenne Legislator
Says in Address.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Feb. 22.-wyo.
ming should have a legislative session
of 60 days duration. and the intro.
duction of bills should be limited 10
the first thirty days. in the opinion
OF Senator A. d. Kelley of Cheyenne,
one of the most active members of
the Seventeenth session.
From the experience I have gained
| am convinced that our system is
all wrong" said Senator Kelley, ad.
dressing the Lions club. IT say 10
YOU frankly hat It is a crime TO
make laws the way we make them.
A coed deal of our time is consumed
N speeches to the galleries.
up to the last few days OF this
session we had passed only 80 or 30
bills. Then all OF n sudden we got
busy. and in a continuous session Of
three days and two nights put
through nor han 100 more. BY
Monday we were worn out, our brains
completely frazzled. 1t was impos.
sible TO give those matters any real
consideration.
II believe this condition would be
greatly relieved IL we could hold a
60-day session and PROVE that bills
could be introduced in only the first
80 days.
"rh~ree-fourths OF the laws we en-
acted were for the relief of the dry
farmers. the wet farmers. the stock.
men and the irrigation fellows. Many
OF these We're, TO say the least, III.
conceived and injudiclous."
Senator Kelley criticized the party
caucus" system of considering legis.
lation which was in vogue during tho
recent session.
"Caucuses are nil right both
parties held them frequently IN the
session just closed-but too often,
believe, persons try to put over per.
sonal issues by means of them he
sad. Nothing but political issues
should be considered in these meet
ings."
