'. s. TO BE CHARTERED
 FOR 4IR NAVICATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The United States is to be charted for aerial navigation, much the same as oceans are charted for ships.
 The Department of Commerce geodetic and coast survey has laid plans for preparation of the charts to guide aviators to any part of the country. For the purpose of the work, the country will be di- vided into 89 sections, each cover ing four degrees of longitude and three degrees of latitude.
 The first of these air maps takes in parts of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio and will be known as the Detroit Sheet"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-12

In addition, the geodetic and coast survey will rush the comple- tion of strip maps for the commer- cial airways, 50 or more of which have not been mapped.
 The navigation charts, showing main railroads and highways, prin- clpal cities, attitudes and outstand- Ing landmarks, will be compiled from various maps available and from data obtained on flight sur yey work.
 The work will involve much fly ing to select landmarks from the air which do not show on maps available now.

INVESTIGATION < OF FLARES IS
 ORDERED MADE
Gov. Parks Authorizes h. vestigation of Lights Re-
 ported Near Seward

Investigation of reported flares near Seward has been authorized by the Territory, it was announced late yesterday by Gov. George A. Parks. It was thought possible by Seward and Anchorage people that they might have been made by Aviator Merrill who has been missing for almost a month.
 The Governor said authority had been granted for boat to leave Latouche and search the district in which the flares were said to have been seen earlier this week. The Admiral Watson, also, was mo- tified and will keep a close watch for any signs of the missing flier
 The Governor was appealed to this week to send the Unalga to investigate the flares. However, it was decided that the inquiry should De made as quickly as possible and that a boat from somewhere in the district could handle the mat ter more expeditiously than one sent from this section. It was for this reason that the Latouche vessel was obtained.
