he discovered that Bermuda officials had taken
exception to his flight over the island-though
he did not land-and had protested to the
United States Government. He had violated
the air rights of Bermuda by not asking per-
mission to Fly its air." Here was pretty
mix-up, indeed.
The question as to what height Williams few
over the island was not brought up nor was
the question Of the type of plane he was using.
williams was quoted as saying:
ION our fight from Maine to Rome Yancey
and flew over a lot of countries, just the
same as other transatlantic airmen have done,
and nothing was said about 1t. When we took
the Pathfinder to Cherbourg TO put her on
boat we received amusing telegram from
the French air ministry saying that, inasmuch
as we already had flown over rs per cent Of
the military Notifications Of France permission
was thereby granted to fly over all of them.
THE suspension seems a bit ridiculous TO

include commercial craft Take Bermuda, for
instance. Recall the faux pas that Roger Q.
williams. transatlantic flyer. committed last
June with respect to this British possession 1t
created no little stir and brought on williams
q sharp bit Of punishment from the Depart
ment of Commerce air regulator, Gilbert C.
Budwig. And it brought forth from williams
some rather cauStic comment In regard to for
eign trespass with respect to q commercial
plane.
On June 30 last Williams. accompanied by
Harry Z. Common of New York, and Enroll Boyd.
a Canadian, made a nonstop fight from New
York City to Bermuda and return. He merely
few over the Atlantic. circled over the island
and dropped a bag of mail. Back in New York,
in the latter part of July, he was Informed by
Mr.. Budwig that his pilots license had been
suspended for 80 days. Later the suspension
was cut TO a week. williams was dumfounded
and thought that it was practical joke. Then

me- because We used Bermuda only as q ref
erence point in our navigation. If we had
landed there they might have had real cause
for complaint, although. far as know no
action of this sort has been taken against Yam
cey and Bill Alexander, who new out there and
landed in a seaplane some time ago"
williams proceeded to point out that other
ocean flyers have passed over any number OF
foreign states without being called upon the
carpet citing the planes that new daily be-
tween Buffalo and Detroit by way of Canada
without protest.
Aviation is so young that no body Of law
has been developed to cover the controversies
which will inevitably arise in the course of its
DEVELOPMENT Regulations have not been made
as yet regarding the height at which plane
must fly over property in order to be free from
an action in trespass Should the point ever
be settled. how is it going to be determined that
trespass has actually occurred?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-14

CUP1osE that 500 feet is accepted as the
minimum altitude for flying above prop
erty outside of cities and towns. How is the
yardstick to be laid on? What about emergency
flying at an altitude less than 500 feet? What
about taking off and landing? What about
night flying?
The flying of a plane more than the opera
ton of any other mechanical agent of loco
motion, demands that its operation at all times
be left to the Judgment of the pilot. Its speed
for cerain maneuvers must be in accordance
With the science of flight and not subject 70
definition by law. Its landing must be into the
wind. regardless Of the direction.
Aviation is an independent science. rail-
road train runs on track, an automobile runs
on a road but a plane stays in the air only
when propelled. 1t comes nearer being law
unto itself than any other medium Of trans
portation.
These recognized facts with respect to avia-
ton make a wide gulf between it and other
modes of transportation. There are no prece-
dents to guide in the matter of safe speed"
The demands of plane to remain aloft take
care of that. "Safe altitude has as much APP
plication to pilot and passengers as to per-
the ground.
Those who have made study of air rights
confess the questions to be bathing. They
point out that time alone can solve them.
Aviation is growing by leaps and bounds as a
means of commercial transportation. Larger
and heavier planes being contemplated.
The number of planes in service is increasing
year by year. At present there is room for all,
but how about 10 or 20 years hence?
If the public is beginning to be "touchy'
about the present-day operation of planes over
its head. what about the third and fourth gen.
erations from now?

dicted reliably today at city hall.
Election of DR.. Frederick E. Jack
son, Democratic member, as presi-
dent of the board, succeeding DR..
Henry S. Leonard, Republican mem
Der, was understood to be on the
health board program in accordance
with the administration policy to
have Democrats head all city de-
partmentS.
DR.. Leonard was named on the
board by former Mayor L. Ert Slack
and has served as president for the
past year. Jackson formerly served
as board president and was instru-
mental in starting the present hos
pital building program.
Evans Woollen Jr., the other
Democratic board member, who
was appointed in June by Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan, was discussed
for the presidency. but it was be-
lieved selection of a Democratic
physician, rather than business
man, would meet with more hearty
approval from the medical profess
sion.
With his reelection as secretary
and city sanitarian. DR.. Morgan
will begin his nineteenth year in
