Ending Of Congress
May Bring Air Probe

Unless the unexpected happens,
the aircraft battle stirred tlp ~
the cAustic comments of Brigad dier
General William Mitchell Oh the
nations air defenses, Is liable to
come to an abrupt ending. possibly
within the next few days.
Despite the fact that big guns
on both sides Of the present con.
.troyersy are just lilnbaring up, the
pressure of time makes It naiidae
tory al far as Congress Is con-
cerned, that the public hearings be
brought to q close as soon as
possible.
Extended Work Impossible.
This fact has been brought home
with renewed force to the House
aircraft investigating committee BY
the discovery that Ii win. be prac-
tically impossible for the committee
to extend its work beyond the pres
ent Congress which expires on
March &.
The House, it has been pointed
out, has no authority Is allow the
committee TO delay making its re.
port until the next Congress- con.
venes in December, q course of
action which the committee would
like to adopt.
The only way the life Of the
committee might be extended would
be by the passage Of d joint reso.
luton creating the COMMITTEES into
q commission. AS the resolution,
would have to pass both House
and Senate. it is hardly likely that
an attempt will be made to secure
its passage.
With this fact in mind. the com.
nntttee finds itself confronted with
one OF the largest problems now
facing the nation and no time In
which to give II proper considera-
tion.
Since early in the session hear.
inss have been held covering all
phases OF the aviation problem,
considered bO0h from q standpoint
OF national defense as well M from
g commercial viewpoint, until the
large size volumes. How to tIi.
gest this and bring In q report
that will do justice to the question
is causing COMMITTEES members no
little worry.
Proponents Of the united air ser.
vice, however, are entirely satisfied
with the results obtained thus far,
regarding the wide publicity that
has been given the question OF AiI.
defense as q victory IN itself,
Action by the present Congress,
they point out. Is out Of the ques-
ton while the impetus given the
movement by the present investi-
cation Hnd its deveIOpments Will
insure the question real hearing

Highway Commission Asked
to Improve Morton County
Road to Bismarck

a new trade territory may be open
ed for Bismarck as result of a
conference held here Saturday after
noon between committee from the
Bismarck Association of Commerce
and the state highway commission.
The Association of Commerce ask
ed the commission to improve the
Morton county road, that starts at
the River road, about mile west Of
the bridge, and runs southwest to
the Sioux county line. The commit
tee members said the road is in bad
shape and almost impossible and
that persons living along that high
way were forced to detour arounl
through tMandan in order to get to
Bismarck. They said that the Nor
ton county commissioners would not
improve the road because they fear
ed Mandan would lose trade from
that territory.
The Association of Commerce COM
mittee suggested that the road be
graveled and it was estimated that
the improvement would cost approx
mately $4,000.
The highway commission authorized
Chief Engineer Black to get prices
of improving the highway.
