Budwig, director of Air Regula-
tion, Department of Commerce.
today called the attention Of
aviators to the ruling requiring
planes flying over such institu-
tions to maintain an altitude OF
at least 1000 feet.

received letters from a number Of
prison officials claiming that the
ruling, which is contained in an
amendment to the air traffic
rules which became effective in
April is being viola ted. indicating
that the reason for it is not gen
orally understood.
According to the air director.

attitudes over prisons was pro
hibited when prison authorities
expressed the fear that it would
be possible for accomplices OF
inmates to drop tools and even
weapons within the walls.
Recent unrest among inmates
of several prisons is said to have
resulted in requests from officials
for stricter enforcement of the
air ruling.
