TESTS AIR SHUTTLE
Service Is Designed to Speed Trans

Field.

CHICAGO, R).-Post Office officials
here have been experimenting with an
airplane shuttle service to speed trans
fer of air mail from the landing field.
A truck and an amphibian plane
were matched against each other
the truck making its way through nine
miles of traffic while the plane sailed
above, landing in the harbor at the foot
of Jackson street, not far from the post
Office.
In tests the plane has averaged q
saving in time of 25 minutes each trip.
Whether the system will be adopted
depends on further tests and Washing

expected, will be balanced against
added expense.

 CHEER SOUTHERN WING OF PARTY
CLAUDIUS- H. HUSTON

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug q. Consideration of southern man for chairmanship of the Republican National Committee has given new hope to some southern party lead CTS of an early adjustment of the tangled Republican situation in several southern states.
 When the Republican National Committee meets in Washington September g, Claudius H. Huston of Chattanooga, banker, educator, business man and longtime friend of President Hoover, is expected to be named Chairman.
 From his point of vantage in this border-line political state Mir Huston long has been able to give party leaders excellent counsel, and his influence has been felt in na- tional party affairs over a consid- erable period of time Some see in his expected election to the party chairmanship another ex- precision of the party's interest in and gratitude for the southern vote
 His knowledge of southern affairs, his understanding of the southern situation and his interest in party affairs, it is felt here, would make him valuable man to the party in it's efforts to effect better organi- zation in the south.
 MT Huston was active in behalf of Hoover in the preconvention campaign as well as in the election campaign. The Tennessee leader served two years under Secretary Hoover as Assistant Secretary of Commerce at the beginning of MT. administration in the Commerce Department.
 The Tennessean was leader in state party affairs in 1920 when the state went for Warren G. Hard ing. When Mir Hoover was cam paignlng for the presidency, he chose Elizabethton, in the indus trial section of Tennessee, for his only southern campaign speech.

REGULATIONS OF THIS YEAR MAY
 HOLD FOR 1880
Fisheries Adequately Gov cred by Them, Says Com
 missioner alley

Few if any changes are contem- plated in the present Alaska fish cries regulations, it was indicated today by Henry O'Malley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries. The fisheries, he said, are appar- ently on satisfactory basis, the regulations which were in force during the current season working in satisfactory manner, and there seems at this time to be no need for any material alterations.
 This, the Commissioner indi- cated, was particularly true of the several Southeast Alaska areas. There is one possible exception Sumner Strait-and he is giving serious study to the situation there.
 There is no question, said Com missioner OMalley, that the runs in this section are rebuilding. He pointed to the remarkable recov- cry of pink salmon following the disastrous season of 1927. In cer- tain Southeast Alaska areas that year the pink run was almost a complete failure and it was neces- sary to shorten the fishing sea- son. This seasons pink run was about 70 per cent as large as that of 1928, one of the districts big gest years, and was approximately 100 per cent better than the cycle year of 1927. The red salmon fisheries also continue to show im- provement in the district. This seasons pack, 10000 cases, is the largest in great many years.
 The increase cannot be accounted for by more intensive fishing since the regulations of 1929 imposed heavier restrictions than those of 1927. Trap leads were decreased, the commercial fishing season was shortened, and there was, on the whole, less gear used in taking fish in 1927. The increased pack, therefore, it was pointed out, can only have come from heavier and more sustained runs.
 This year was the sixth since the Department of Commerce was given wide latitude in administer ing the Alaska fisheries under the Act of Congress of June 6, 1924. The initial regulations were pro- mulgated by Commissioner O'Mal- ley late the same month and made immediately effective. Each year since, including the current one, these have been materially changed, restrictions being added to suit natural conditions and the situation of the fisheries as indi- cated by the escapement and packs of various species.
 The present regulations, the Com missioner said, seem to cover the situation adequately. He is grati- fled with the healthy condition shown as a whole and confident that the fisheries of the Territory are now on a sound basis. He will leave tomorrow morning on the Brant for Petersburg, Yes Bay. and Ketchikan. After visiting the First City about three days. he will pro- ceed to Seattle enroute to Wash ington.
