lair REGULATIONS
| TO UNITY SERVICE
Department of Commerce
Moves to Stabilize Newest
Transport System.

Regulations which are expected to
bring about in the air transport Held
the uniformity of operation of railroad
and steamship lines, coupled with un-
precedented records Of safety and re-
liability, were put into effect during the
past week by the aeronautics branch Of
the Department of Commerce.
These regulations, which are regarded
as among the most important yet
framed to deal with air transport OPP
erations, are designed to surround In
terstate air passenger transportation
with all possible safeguards and to
guarantee maintenance of schedules.
Under the new code of rules the De-
partment of Commerce is requiring the
operators of scheduled air passenger
transport services in interstate COM
merce to obtain from the Secretary OF
Commerce a certificate Of authority to
operate such a service.
"The certificate Of authority" it was
explained by Clarence M. Young, AS
sistant Secretary Of Commerce for Aero
nautics, will be issued only to those
operators who effect complete compile
ance with the new regulations and the
interpretations hereunder.
Safety to Be Increased.
"When placed in full operation and
effect, these regulations, which constt-
tute q standard or code Of minimum
requirements governing the operation OF
scheduled interstate air passenger
routes, are expected to bring about I'M
precedented records Of safety and re-
liability in this phase Of civil aero
nautics.''
The regulations require that on OF
before July Is applications for certifi-
Gates shall be filed by air transport
operators with the Department Of Com
nerce. Upon receipt of the applica-
ton the department may issue tenn
porary letter of authority to operate
pending inspection Of the route and
facilities of the operator by Department
of Commerce inspectors.
"This action by the Department Of
Commerce" Maj. Young said, "has now
become necessary in order to standard
ize the various methods of interstate
passenger air transport operation that
have developed and will continue to
develop in the future. It Is in further
ance Of a comprehensive, fundamental
program which has been developed un-
der the provisions Of the air COM
merce act.
Anyways are now extensively estab-
liShed, satisfactory communications
equipment Is becoming available, and

aids to air navigation In the interest of

side-kick, Art Oieut. Arthur I. Ennis,

wrong as usual and what was meant
was that the business of being pilot
Is not a business; 1t Is a profession.
From that gather that professional
men can be replaced by machines like
the mechanical pilot, but q sort OF
mental, or a George as some people
would call o steward or porter, has to
be a real human being, who Is wise TO
