l. at the
Nations Capital
Nv BYRON PRICE

(Chief OF Bureau, the Associated Press Washington
There is only one way to describe accurately the
situation IN washington today. That Is by recognizing
frankly that 1t Is situation Of confusion and uncer
ta,nty which cannot be portrayed with clarity until
executive legislative and judicial attitudes have been
developed more fully.
For two years the national capital has been riding
along on wave OF enthusiasm and hopefulness. Mr..
Roosevelt had launched certain vital experiments The
dull WEAKNESS induced by the depression had given way
to revived sense Of motion.
Everyone was interested again. congress amiable.
popular support tor the President overwhelming and
the day Of reckoning In the courts seemed far away
Now the atmosphere has changed. There Is doubt
ees
hestant. The courts approaching final judgments
Conservatism has reasserted itself the hand I'D
bewildeIins swarm Of radical movements has developed
Washington is puzzled 1t would be thankful, In
deed, II someone would tell 1t where It Is and where
it is going.
ROOSEVELT SILENT
The general feeling Of transition and uncertainty Is
increased by the silence Of the President With respect to
many Of the controversies which raging about him.
1t always has been Mr. Roosevets habit to bide his
time It is his practice not to reveal his hand until he
thinks the psychological moment has arrived.
He makes game of it, and likes to keep even some
Of his closest advisers guessing In the present circ
In administrative posts on the anxious seat.
The fortunes OF key men within the administration
circle are undergoing constant chang few weeks sso
resgnng Now his responsibilities have been enlarged
and he seems quite happy.
Others have had the same experience. There ore
quite apparent differences Of opinion within the
cabinet ITSELF and Washington again IL filled with m.
mors Of . general shakeup
PROGRAM CHANGED
The ADMINISTRATORS legislative program has been
subject to constant fluctuations
About nd.March congressional leaders received
what they thought definite word that the President
wanted all his major bills passed before adjournment
week later Senator Robinson emerged from White
House conference announcing policy which would cut
the calendar In half.
Today no member of congress considers himself
wise enough to predict Just what viii happen. The
guesses Of the insiders divided such important
subjects the bonus and imitation It Is difficult to
recall any previous time when the fate Of 20 large

the balance

Add to this the unsetting effect Of inconclusive
litigation new deal projects the manifest instabl
ity Of popular opinion and the constant conflict In
ports to the actual status Of the curve Of business
recovery and it viii be apparent why Washington Isl
confused
The air has about 1t the feel Of gathering storms
whose magnitude no one can gauge with precision.

We May Yet Get Wings

Statistics from the aircraft industry indicate
that America has not yet acquired wings. From
= high point of more than 5000 planes made
and sold in 1929, plane manufacturers descend
ed to about third of that in 1882 and produc-
tion is rather less than half Of the former peak
now.
There are sound reasons for this, chief
among them being the fact that advances in
airplane design have not been such as to en-
courage the average man to take himself off
the ground.
Air lines have been making higher speeds
and carrying more passengers as faith in their
safety grows, but private flying has decreased.
The reasons for this are rather obvious.
As sport, aviation is expensive. Not many
persons have the inclination or can afford to
go into it for pleasure alone. Few persons have
the time to become expert pilots. Before planes
can become as common as automobiles they
must be as easy to drive. Airports usually are
well removed from cities and the saving in time
effected by their use is reduced by the diff
ficulty Of getting to and from the landing
fields. Likewise it means taxi hire.
A good many of these objections may be
overcome soon if tests now being made work
out satisfactorily.
The proposal is to devise an autogiro, one
of those machines with whirling wings. so that
the wings can be folded back. Gears would be
30 adjusted that power could be transferred at
will to either the propeller or the wheels.
With such contraption the average citizen
could park his plane in his garage, drive it on
the ground to the nearest vacant lot and take
off, for such machine gets off the ground in
about 20 feet. He could land in the same way.
In case Of trouble he could land without diff
ficulty for these machines can come straight
down without serious harm to passengers.
Such development is what the airplane in
dustry needs. # and when it is perfected,
America really will take to the air. Until
something like this is done pleasure flying will
b confined to the wealthy or those enthusiastic
youls who are willing to put everything they
have into It.
