CONGRESS- NOT
LIKELY TO Give
AVIATION HELP
GraVer Problems Confront
Lawmakers; Few Bills
Are Scheduled.
BY ERNIE PYLE
Seripps- Howard Aviation Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
new year is likely to be a slim one
for aviation, as far as congress is
concerned. The lawmakers have
other and graver things to worry
about.
There is real dearth of
prospective aeronautical legislation
for the new congress.
The biggest things, of course, will
be the annual appropriations for the
army and navy air forces, the air
mail and the commerce depart
ment's control over aviation.
These things have to be taken
care Of, Of course, but it appears
that each department will have to
fight for every cent it gets.
There may be an air mail in
Yestigation. And again there may
not. Again the stumbling block is
that there will be worse things to
worry about.
ClamOr for Inquiry
Independent operators have been
clamoring for an air mail inquiry.
And many congressman passively
are in favor Of one. But it is hard
to find congressman or senator
who is fighting mad over the air
mail.
The two most important aviation
measures this term both are old
bills which failed to get through last
year
One is the plan of Senator Brat
ton Dem, N. M to put airlines
under control of the interstate COM
merce commission.
The other IS the bill of Senator
McNary Rep., Ore) to set up an
air mail subsidy for trans-oceanic
dirigible service.
The Bratton bill will be fought
bitterly, and probably has little
chance Of going through.
Might Have Chance
Senator McNary is going to push
his bill hard, and it probably would
have a good chance of getting
through we're it not that this will
be a tight-flsted congress.
Last year Senator Bingham
Rep., Comm had bill to provide
for the making public of commerce
department findings on airplane
accidents, by immunizing them from
use in law suits.
But the bill was fought to a
standstill, and this year Bingham
will not even introduce it again.

MINING INTERESTS RENTING

As evidence that mining throughout all Alaska is on the upgrade after many years of mediocre activity and that the Moose Pass district has at tracted the eyes of mining in the States, the news of the sale of the Mike Donney property acres of placer ground at Sunrisehas tended to eject consld erabe encouragement and enthusiasm to the old and new-odtimers in this great of the Territory.
 The recent visit here of w. A. Preston, Seattle min ing man who with his associates, took over Mr. Con- neys claims last week, appears to be the forerunner of intense development of that property in the very future. Mr. Preston said of the most model camps in the country will be established there and that the equipment will be modern in every respect that p or 50 men would probably be employed on the ground next season.
 But to Mike Connolly, one of the best known and liked oldmers in this region, it seems that the contl, ence and go of B years has been both sustained ana attained for that long period the Sourdough has had faith confidence in his holdings and now through re- port of Mr. Prestons personal engineer and it is said one of the Geological Survey mineral experts his con dence and faith has been realized.
 The host of friends and acquaitances of MT. Con- nely-he prefers to be called Mke-we can safely say, are perhaps just as delighted he is and that just reward is now within his grasp Money means nothing Mike; it's the fun of the game and when asked Ii ne would go Outsde he replied: Not by long shot!

CONCENTRATE EFFORTS
 YACHTING PARTIES IN
 SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA

Campbell Church, who operates a fleet of yachts out of Ketchikan, says that business is much better this year than it was last year. He said the seven yachts which he has been using have been under charter on an average of about three and a half months for each craft, with a total of 10 or 15 per- sons carried aboard of each boat, including the guests and mem- bers of the crews, according to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 "The fleet is nearly double this year what it was last year" he said. T expect business will be better next year. A charter for three months next year has been closed on the Westward.
 We are concentrating our eff forts on Southeastern Alaska. Scenery cannot be excelled; fish ing and hunting are the best; wa ters are sheltered in this section. We are gradually making Ketchi- kan our home port, and it is our intention to have our charters be- gin and end either there or at Prince Rupert.
 We have only two charters to the Westward this year. Two of the boats will take game hunters to Kenai in the fall.
 Our captains and crews are re- cruited as far as possible from among Alaska residents. Many of them are licensed guides and nat urally we like to have as many as possible thoroughly familiar with northern waters and other northern conditions.
 Our chartering business was started in 1924 when George East man. of Kodak fame, took the yacht Westward for cruise in Southeastern Alaska waters. He sailed that year on July 10, the roth anniversary of his birth. He has since made three cruises in our yachts in these waters"

 In the good old days of melodrama, such the clarion cry resoundng from the acoustics of the old opera houses.
 But the cry from Alaska to the fire chiefs of the Pacific Coast is of invitation; invitation to make Anchorage the 1882 convention city for the reeaters
 The Anchorage fire department has asked The Gate way and various chambers of throughout the Territory to assist them in enticing Pacific Coast fire chiefs to here for change not because they may be cooled off sooner-persh the thought-but be- cause Anchorage and Alaska wants the opportunity to grasp them by the hand and say: Hello, Odtimer!"
