tionships to civil aviation, then 50
widely scattered.
Just year ago Congress passed
the law which set up the Civil Aero
nautics Authority, not as something
to harass the industry, but on the
industry's own recommendation and
request to provide central agency
through which Government would
watch the interests both of the in
dustry and the general public. So
far as this is regulation, it has been
sought by those regulated.
Composed Of Three Elements.
Administratively, this Civil Aero
nautics Authority is composed Of
three elements: The Authority OF
five members, which develops eco
nomic and safety policies and en-
forces them through its Bureaus Of
Economic and Safety Regulation; an
administrator, whose principal con-
cern is the construction and opera
ton of the vast ground plant Of the
Federal airWays system; a three
man safety board, which is left free
of restriction and charged with the
duty of finding out actual facts con-
corning accidents.
At this point I would like to thank
the National Broadcasting Co. and
The Washington Star, not only for
myself and the individual members
OF the Authority, but also for the
administrator and the safety board,
for making possible this radio report
to the public.
In the light of world events during
the past year, most of us now
understand the reason that Con-
gress had for passing the Civil Aero
nautics Act. Congress was think
ing far beyond the long recognized
importance of airplanes to the
postal service and said so in the
new law. Air transport had to be
strengthened because of its vital
Importance both in modern COM
merce and in national defense.
In its relation to the economic
problems of air transportation the
Civil Aeronautics Act enters wholly
new territory. In the first place, it
puts an end to the unrestrained,
cut-throat competition among air
carriers which a year ago threat
ened the wreck Of the industry, by
requiring that the test of public
convenience and necessity be met
before a new line could be estab-
lished. The new law also gives the
Civil Aeronautics Authority the
power apd responsibility of deter
mining the amounts that air lines
are to receive from the Government
for the transportation Of mail. The
determination has to be made after
considering both the needs of the
community for the service to be
rendered and the need of the trans
port company for an amount of
revenue sufficient to serve the public
properly
Fixing Of Mail Payment.
An air line is permanently con-
tinuing enterprise. 1t comes into
existence in most cases partly be-
cause of the desire for improved
postal service. To insure that such
service can be supplied and at the
same time to permit the develop
ment of an air transportation sys-
tenn that will properly care for pas

with three tricks in spades, four in
hearts, one in diamonds and three
in clubs. Where a spade was led and
a shift made to diamonds, it was
held to exactly game with no over
tricks.
Nobody SET the contract. not even
those players who combined proba-
bilities of suit-length in their part
ners' hands with the desirability OF
leading combinations in their own
hands. These led the diamond j,
which theoretically is the best lead
in the hand. It proved practically
correct too, as it also prevented
overtricks. In a nutshell. the short
suit leaders were tied for top anG
the long-suit leaders for bottom
score on the deal.

A RULE TO STRESS

ONE RULE WORTH stressing

know the defense will devolve main
" upon your partner, that If your
own long suit gets set up you prob
ably can never regain the lead to
cash its long card or cards. Your
assignment therefore is to strive to
hit your partners long suit, by lead
ing some short suit of your own. If
you happen to pick the right one,
your side may down an otherwise
unbeatable contract.
