PROTECTING AIR PASSENGERS

Some enghtening information not alone for the
members of the Territorial Legislature but for the
entire travelling public of Alaska presented to the
Legislature this week by Hugh Brewster. Aeronautlcs
Inspector for Alaska. Appearing before committee
of the Senate yesterday afternoon the Inspector
pointed the blunt fact that the Territory actually
has no legislation to protect lives of air passengers
Fortunately virtually all the aiplane operators in the
Territory heed the regulations of the Department of
Air Commerce. They up to standards in every
respect and consequently flying in Alaska is as safe
as anywhere on earth t ~fr t.~ $
But the point that Mr. Brewster was making and
one which certainly needs making, is that there is
no Territorial to flying the safe thing it in
the north. In other words, airplane operator
can into Alaska, file his registry number thumb
his nose at the Federal regulations and go out and
carry all the passengers he wishes to and nobody
cen do anything about it. He risk his own neck
and those of his passengers and has authority
to tell him nay.
The key to the situation is found in the fact as
the Inspector pointed out that Federal air commerce
regulations interpreted to apply only in restricted
sense to intra-state commerce. or commerce within
the boundaries Of state Territory The only regu
lations the unlicensed operator actually must observe
air line regulations regulations that become
effective when the plane gets into the air In other
words the Department holds it has no authority
the ground No inspection is required of the I'M
licensed operator to that his craft air worthy
or the pilot is physically fit and properly trained
to operate plane. He take any kind of old
crate the aviators refer to them, into the air
with passengers under the present setup True there
is legal dispute to the all-encompassing
power of the Federal government Territory,
some holding that the Federal regulations should
apply. But the fact remains that the legal depart
ment of the Air bureau has held otherwise
with the result that Alaska is at the mercy of
unlicensed pilots and aircraft that might into
the Territory
1t is purely lucky condition that the people
Of the Territory have not been victmized by such
aircraft But the fact that they have not to any

should be taken promptly to guard against just such

can act promptly and with dispatch when the need
arises, as the members of the Juneau post did so
effectively during last Novembers disaster

service But their forces be of greater value

avoid frightening the French bourgeoisie, OF
disorder broke loose in which persons in
jured and eight arrested. More than 500 Mexi-

violent agitation for Trotzky's expulsion

too red for the Communists themselves both the Rus

That when they see Trotzky they see red, too.
