C0PELANDBILLS
SEEK SAFETY
IN AIR
International News Service


Additional subsidies to expand
commercial aviation and increase
safety on the airlanes was pro
posed to Congress today by Sen
ator Copeland CD, Of New York,
chairman of the Commerce and
Air Safety Committees.
In a series Of bills introduced in
the Senate Copeland directed the
Postmaster General to conduct a
survey of the air mail routes with
a view to increasing the volume
of mail sent by air, reduction OF
air mail rates, and the Inaugural.
ton of an air parcels post ana
air lettergram."
The bills also would exempt
from Federal taxation money ex
nended for the development OF air
safety devices ard create in the
Department of Commerce bu-
reau of Federal airways to develop
and regulate aerial navigation.
Rates Reduced
Under the Copeland plan, air
postal rates would be reduced
to S cents per ounce, and the let
tereram. a single sheet OF folded
paper, sealed but not enclosed in
an envelope, could be carried 1or
2 cents. And air postcard could
be mailed for 2 cents.
The experiment would begin
with regular flights over 10 es-
+ablished air routes. The Post o.
flee Department would be re-
0uired to report the results Of the
experiment to the next session OF
Congress, showing comparative
costs and revenues to the depart
ment.
IF the plan is successful. Senator
Copeland proposed further thaG
"feeder" lines be established to al
State capitals and cities OF 15,OO0
population or over. He said:
81 am eager that the Federal
Government do all it ian at
this time to develop commercial
aviation, both from the stand
point of increased facilities and
increased safety. This country
has made wonderful strides in
the last few years, but l think
It is the duty of the Federal
Government further to extend
helping hand"
NO FAULT TO FIND
Copeland said he had no fault
to find with the present aviation
set-up at the Department OF Com
merce but that he believed a sep
arate bureau to promote nav1ga-
ton exclusively would increase
safety in air. He added:
81 want to separate the regu-
lation Of functions pertaining to
ground operation from those Of
the sky"
He pointed out that this recon-
mendation was made in the air
safety committees recent report
to Congress which followed more
than a years investigation of all
branches of aviation with view
to improving the airways and
eliminating safety hazards.

CONTROVERSY CONTINUES ON
 HIGHEST COURT
Voluntary Retirement Su- preme Justices at 7OSug-
 gested as Alternative

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Sena- tor Pat McCarran, Nevada, today laid the groundwork for the Sen ate's approval of the bill providing voluntary retirement of Supreme Court Justices who are seventy years old. in the hope that some justices would resign and thus all leviate the controversy over Pres ident Roosevelt's plan to add six more Justices to the Supreme Court if those over seventy do not retire.
 Senator McCarran called togeth- CT the Senate Judiciary Commit tee to consider the bill which was passed by the House.
 Senator Sherman Minton, In- diana. speaking for the Adminis- tration last night, said in radio address: Five men on the Su- preme Court have absolute veto power over the legislative policy of the peoples elected representative. T
 Senator Carter Glass. Virginia, critic of the program, said that the country needed an Attorney Gen. eral more than additional justices, in replying to an address made Sunday night by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings.

FOR
 DEVELOPMENT
 OF N0RTHLAND R
Conference Is Held with President-Plans Out
 lined by Three
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary of Delegate DimOnd

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Need for early action in putting into construction program developed for Alaska airplane landing fields and roads and trails was taken ur in a conference with the President Tuesday by Senator Schwellenbach of Washington, Dr. Ernest Gruen- ing, Director of the Division of Ter ritories and Island Possessions, and Delegate A. J. Dimond.
 The program outlined to the President calls for enlargement and improvement of a number of air. fields and construction of new ones where warranted. It also would pro- vide additional road facilities in various sections of the Territory, supplementing the construction to be undertaken through the regular appropriations for the Alaska Road Commission and the Bureau of Pub lie Roads in the Territory. Appro- val of a similar program has been sought before through the use of Works Progress Administration funds. but could not be worked out because the work contemplated could not be efficiently undertaken in Alaska under the restrictions as to maximum wages, hours of labor, and the use of relief labor, as pres cribed for expenditure of such funds.
 The President expressed his in- teresa in Alaska and his desire for its development. He expressly re- ferred to the benefits which would come to both Alaska and Canada from the construction of the Inter national Highway. While the bud get for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1888, has been made up, and the Ohio and Mississippi Val ley floods have imposed an unex- pected drain on the Treasury, there is good reason to hope that some thing substantial for the benefit of Alaska may be worked out

An arrangement whereby trollers and cod fishermen will be permitted to profitably dispose of their acci- dently caught halibut has appar- ently been arrived at, as indicated by the following letter from the Secretary of State, dated January 26:

 The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of January 19, 1887 in which you quote from telegram received by you from the Alaska Trollers Association stating the de- sire of the trollers that the pro- posed revision of the Halibut Con- vention now in force between the United States and Canada should permit trollers as well as black cod fishermen to retain and sell hali- but accidently caught by them in

TROUBLE OVER DISCHARGES
 TIE UP SHIPS
Maritime Unions Threaten Legal Action Against
 Federal Orders

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 16. Maritime Unions today threat ened more legal action against the Federal order tying up American vessels whose crews do not have sailors discharge books by sailing time.
 James Engstrom. secretary of the Maritime Federation in Seattle said that action there awaited word from San Francisco Federation of- ficials.
 One restraining order has already been obtained. in San Francisco for a ship in port here.
 Another restraining order has been filed at Los Angeles.
 The order for tie-up of ships in Seattle whose crews do not have discharge books was issued by 0. w. Sanders, Washington supervis- ing officer of the Bureau of Navi- gation and Steamboat Inspection
 The first ships expected to be affected by the tie-up order in Se- attle are the freighter Mexican, due to leave Seattle Thursday for Bos- ton, the Harry Luckenback, due to sail Monday and the President Grant, due to sail for the Orient on February 27.

TRAP MEMORIAL IS DEFEATED IN
 ALASkA'HOUSE
Only Four Votes Mustered for Request to Eliminate
 Fish Traps in Territory
RURAL SCHOOL BOARD
 BILL ALSO LOSES OUT
Plan for Women's Pioneer Home Endorsed Unani-
 mously by Members

Mastering only four votes, the Coffey memorial asking the aboli- tion of fish traps in Alaska was defeated by the Territorial House this morning with l2 votes against it. Voting for the request to Con- gress were Ed Coffey of the Third, author of the measure, H. H. Mo- Cutcheon and Nell Scott, also of the Third, and Speaker Joe Green of the First. The nays were An- derson, Davis, Dan Green, Kennedy, Laiblin, Litchtenberg, Nerland, Race Rogge, Ross, Tolbert Scott and Smith.
 While Coffey argued strongly for the memorial. it appeared from statements of other members that one of the features against the re- quest was that it made no provis- ion for protecting native fisher men against Outside fishermen if the traps were abolished.
 At a hearing in the House yes- terday, Archie Shiels, President of Pacific American Fisheries, point ed out to the members that aboli- tion of traps would mean an annual loss to the Territory of $334, ,000 annually, and with Social Security and other appropriations needed it seemed like a poor time to slash revenue. Grover Vim was another appearing before the House.
 School Board Plan Killed
 The House defeated another old favorite this morning, the Mo- Cutcheon bill to re-establish rural school boards. It fell by the way side by vote of IA to 2. Most of the members indicated they were well satisfied with the present set- up under the Board of Education.
 Four House measures and two Senate bills were approved. The Coffey memorial asking the Fed eral government to pay $220,000 toward the education of natives in the Territory now handled through the Territorial Department of Edu- cation. This is a regular procedure each session
 After failing to win approval two years ago, the House definitely started toward erection of a Pion- eers' home for women. The Nell Scott-Race resolution which pro- vides for the setting aside of $25,-
