CHAMBER WIRES PROTEST ABOUT
 RADIO LICENSE
Federal Radio Commission Told New Order Would
 Be Disastrous Here

Enforcement of the Federal Ra- dio Commissions order affecting the type of licenses required of radio stations in Alaska would re- suit in depriving a large proportion of the Territory's population of tele gra phie communication now available during the summer months, the Commission was told in a protest telegraphed to it yes- terday by H. L. Faulkner, Presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
 This action was authorized yester- day by the Chamber which voiced serious objections to the new order that requires. Alaska stations, under operation by private individuals or firms, to operate under public sur- vice commercial licenses. Hereto fore they have been operated under. limited service permit.
 Tn his telegraphic protest to the Commission, MT Faulkner said most of the present stations would be unable to operate under the new order. He added Opinion in Alas ka seems unanimously in favor of handling radio communication through the Alaska Signal Corps A copy of the protest was furnished Col. Frank J. Griffin, officer in charge of the Seattle-Alaska cable system and allied lines.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6-Through its confidential investigations of airplane accidents, the Department Of Commerce has been enabled to bring about elimination of the re- petition of many accidents by cor rection of the causes.
 These Investigations by Depart ment field workers bring out many facts which probably would not be determined by a formal inquiry accor ding to Maj. Clarence M. Young, Assistance Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, and permit determination of faults in both planes and pilots.
 One of the most recent results of the inquiries was the new pilot regulations which went into eff feet September l. Under them, pilots are limited to carrying pas sengers and cargo only in classes of planes for which they are suffi- ciently experienced and licensed.
 Publication of the results of crash Investigations, Major Young said, likely would bring about defeat of tAeir purpose. Because of their confidential nature, more can be learned by the Investigators than if witnesses were placed on oath at formal hearing, the Air Sec retary believes.
 Many times" he said, friends have told us things about 8 dead or injured pilot which they would not have said if the report was to have been made public. In this way we learn many valuable things which can be used to prevent fu- ture accidents"
 Accidents in scheduled flying along the airways last year were only 8.2 per cent of the total and marked decrease from this figure is expected to be shown for the first half of this year in reports to be made public soon.
