The burden of the Congress which
meets next Monday will be legislation
to ease the economic strains on the
country, but the product clearly will be
one of compromise between contending
interests.
With political factors what they are
today, substantially no chance appears
of either Republicans or Democrats put

entirely according with their respective
ideas.
The party forces in Senate and House
are divided by hair line. The presi-
dental campaign Of 1892 Is on the hori-
zon. and President Hoover faces the
near certainty of an opposing House,
led by Representative Garner Of Texas
as Democratic Speaker. The Repub-
licans expect to continue control of the

forced accidents have been ap- preciably curtailed and this m turn stimulates the confidence of the traveling public in this great est means of transportation-avia- tion.
 "The air commerce act of l"2b passed by the national Congress promulgated rules and regulations regarding all air traffic, operation of aircraft, licensing of same and licensing of mechanics and pilots.
 Licensing Necessary
 "In this act it made it man. datory that all aircraft operated in interstate business must be li- censed and flown by licensed pill Ots. It further specified that air craft operated within the District of Columbia or territories of the Uni ted States shall be licensed. Further, the Alaska Territorial leg islature passed aD air act adopt ing the requirements as set forth in tho air commerce act of 1926, making it mandatory that air craft operated within the Territory of Alaska be licensed and planes and pilots coming into Alaska register with the secretary of Al aska at Juneau the model and de partment of commerce license for the planes an1 that all pilots must give their names and addresses and license numbers.
 Tt has been ascertained that in a number of instances this resu- lation has not been fulfilled.
 License Types
 Tn order to enlighten the tray cling public relative 10 the resu- Iations the following is given: -
 ''Licensed aircraft bear the fol- lowing symbols: The letter or letters NC preceded by numerals which are iSsued from Washington and these are displayed on both sides of the rudder, the top side of the right upper wing and the bottom side of the lower left wing As an example. NC 1854 or NC 44Y.
 Further there must be dis played in a prominent place in the cabin in view of all the pass engers licensed card with the authorization to use these mum bers The card gives the make, model and manufacturer number of the plane in addition to passen- ger and load capacity.
 These licenses are issued for one years duration. The plane must be inspected annually by depart ment of commerce inspector and in addition an inspection is necessary after every major accident before it cen operate for hire or reward again.
 Pilots License
 "There are other types of plane licenses such as experimental and for state or federal governmen, owned planes. These, however. will not be gone into as none of this type is expected to be in operation in the. Territory.
 "There are four types of pilots licenses, the transport, limited com. mercial, industrial and private.
 '.The restrictions and privileges of a transport pilot are that he can operate any type of aircraf1 anywhere within the United States or it's territories but cannot for hirt or reward carry passengers in z
