FLYING MAKES PIONEER
OF NASSAU ATTORNEY
Variety of Perplexing Cases In
volving Aviation Keeps Edwards
Busy Seeking Solutions.

NEW YORK, September 1 (NA.N.A.).
Aviation makes a legal pioneer of
Elvin Edwards, district attorney of Mas
sau County, in a day when it's the
custom to complain that the body of
the common law has grown too bulky
and universal.
His territory, including various COM
muterS' towns on Long Island only a
short ride from Manhattan, also con-
tains the big flying fields.
AS planes increase and flying be-
comes more general, Nassau County be-
comes air-conscious. sometimes to
provoking degree. The droning of mo-
tors gets tireSome. Nerves are set on
edge by low flying over dwellings oc-
cupied by people who have fed from
the city for the peace that would be
theirs except for these travellers who
make all space their highway.
Therefore Mr.. Edwards, already busy
enough trying to keep country clubs
from going speakeasy in an aristocratic
way, wants muff1ers for plane motors
and legislation on stunt flying and low
flying, and also a law making the in
toxication of a pilot a felony.
