Board; the House investigation
Committee. and the senate lives
tigating Committee.
The question arises:
Why all these separate investi.
cations:
\ Can IL be that the control OF
civil aeronautics has slipped bach
into politics, as was the case prior
tn the enactment OF the Civil
Aeronautics Act OF 1888, which
removed the control Of civil flying
from the old politically ridden
aeronautical branch OF the De-
partment OF Commerce, and placed
IL on an independent politically
free footing under the Civil Aero
nautics Authority and the Air
Safety Board?
In this regard, II should be re-
membered that during the years
l9S9-1Si0 the air lines operated
for almost eighteen months under
the control OF the Independent
Civil Aeronautics Authority and
the Air Safety Board WITHOUT
ACCIDENTS OR THE LOSS OF
A SINGLE LIFE, q world record
for air line safety that has never
been duplicated before nor since.
Prior to the enactment of the
Civil Aeronautics Act OF 1888,
when the control Of air transporta-
tion and the investigation of acct
dents was under the Jurisdiction OF
tho Department of Commerce,
there had occurred on the air lines
$50 ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN
THE LOSS OF AIS LIVES, and
since tho abolition OF the Air
Safety Board and the indie pendence
Of the Civil Aeronautics Authority
BY reorganization plan No. 4 the
record speaks for itself.
The air line pilots who man the
air liners have not
hanged their minds about what Il
necessary to produce real air
'afety.

Merely blaming the pilot will
not solve air line accidents nor
Increase air safety.
Thorough and scientific indie

from all influence whatsoever, by
a strictly independent air safety
