OCEAN FLIGHT BAN
REFUSED BY i. s.
Air Co. Ordination Committee
Holds Care and Competent
Aviat0rS Needed Factors.

By the Associated Press,
Although deciding against the
feasibility of governmental regula
ton of transoceanic flights. the Gov
ernments air coordination commit
tee holds the belief that such air
journeys should only be taken by
aviators competent to judge the risks
involved and in carefully tested
equipment.
The committee composed of the
three assistant secretaries in charge
of aeronautics in the Commerce,
Navy and War Departments. held a
conference on the recent fatalities of
transoceanic flights to study methods
Of regulating these ventures, follow =
ing n suggestion by President Cool
idge for such an investigation.
Oppose Unscientific Flights.
Flights not planned in a scientific
way. they reported, should be dis
coura Sed, but they held public opin-
ion will itself act to that end and
will impose a restriction on the offer
ing of any direct incentive for the
making of exceptionally hazardous
flights without reasonable precau-
tions."
The three air secretaries said they
were mindful of the scientific knowl-
edge acquired by the flights and the
impetus given to aeronautics, to-
gether with the exhibition of pioneer
spirit in flying. so they agreed that
governmental prohibition should not
be instituted. They recommended
seaplanes or flying boats for over
water flights. rather than land planes.
Prohibition Is Declined.
I'VE are mindful of the scientific
knowledge acquired and the impetus
given to aeronautics," the committee
said, ''by the several successful
flights, and, Notwithstanding the seri.
Gus hazards attached to transoceanic
flights, the members of the commit
tee are agreed in not favoring any
specific governmental prohibition of
pioneering flights.
"The Departments of War, Navy
and Commerce are all times ready,
as in the past, to assist, If requested
and as may be practicable. when
flights are planned or undertaken and
to advise with those proposing such
trips on the difficulties and the risks
involved"

Officials Dispute
Paris Claim OF Dry
Law Factor i'm Levy

That American prohibition has
served to upset France to some
extent because it has almost COM
pletely cut off her exports of wines
and liquors to the United States
was a view expressed by Com
merce Department officials inter-
ested in the French American
tariff situation.
Although a good proportion OF
Frances exports consists of wines
and liquors, such trade. these ofn-
cials said in disputing the French
claim, never has been great
