Pass the Lea bill!

A MONG the paramount duties Of Con-
n gress, which should be performed at
this session. is to provide by law for the
postwar development and regulation of avia-
ton.
Because Of the war, aviation has received
tremendous development in its technical and
pperational aspects.
The most efficient planes ever known have
been produced for military purposes, including
large-scale transportation over land and sea.
This vast mechanical efficiency will be
carried over into peacetime, and carried fur
Their.
THE development of huge airforces will
return to civil life thousands of young
and able men attuned to aviation, including
skilled pilots. highly trained mechanics, and
experienced supervisors. They should be en-
abled to continue their profession.
To meet the enormous demands of global
warfare huge factories have been constructed.
These will be available for civil production
after the war, with the worlds most COM
petent workmen.
Inland airfeds have been multiplied, and
new transocean routes have been pioneered.
We should not abandon all such utilities.
The physical basis therefore exist for
making civil aviation one of the nations giant
peace industries.
But the laws relating to aviation lag be-
hind the times, and these laws need~to be re-
vised in accordance with the chronological
advances.
However, the foundation exists for proper
legislative action.
1t exists in the Civil Aeronautics Act Of
1888 and the Civilian Pilot Training Act of
1889.
TOR our prewar period these statutes
i served well.
Under them, American civil aviation ex-
perienced a constructive and rapid develop

These REK-AIDES are not social re-
formers, not searchers along the fuzzy paths
of child psychology They are normal, hard
working young men and women with a healthy
interest in juvenile activities and sincere
sense Of patriotism. II is this patriotism which
impels them to devote most Of their leisure
time to coaching youngsters who otherwise
would be left to their own devices.

Their work is invaluable. Without them,
by reason of the shortage Of trained and ex-

Salute 10 the REk-AIDES

WYE AGREE in principle with Gov. Kelly
w that juvenile delinquency is primarily
problem to be solved by local communities
instead Of through an overall state program
The state and the federal government
should be prepared TO offer help where help
is needed. but when you get right down to it
the conduct Of youth cannot be legislated into
proper channels. Il cannot be improved by
any general pattern contrved by socioIogists
or PROFESSIONAL theorists
1t is the problem Of the community and,
more especially, Of the neighborhood and.
basically, Of the individual home. Walter
Barry, secretary Of the governors youth
guidance committee. gave terse expression TO
this fundamental truth Saturday when he
said:
Battered and broken homes intensified by
war conditions are the fundamental cause of
juvenile delinquency"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9-The
w Teheran meeting appar-
entity was a Roosevelt show.
The text Of the declaration
clearly sounds more like an eN-
preston of his leadership than a
document composed by either
Stain or Churchill. In it, his
name is always mentioned first,
while those Of Churchill and
Stain were alternated in sec
ondary position. Obviously he
dominated the gathering - at
least as far as the official an
nouncements show.
BY going no farther than
these announcements them
selves. and avoiding any mill
tary secrets which may be be-
mind them, you will find other
revealing suggestions OF the
limit and scope of agreement.
Primarily, the participants
expressed determination 10
work together, but did not
choose to amphfy this one-sen-
tence statement of purpose in
any explanatory way.

document ever penned by man more succinctly
represents those things, for the preservation Of

The proper observance of Bill of Rights Week is
therefore timely and, as mayor of San Francisco,
shall urge all our people to participate in its ceebra

Recognizing the Importance of properly observing
this memorable occasion, have appointed citizens

ment surprising that of all other countries
combined.
Legally therefore, all that needs to be
to make them fit the needs of the day. and
this is being done in the Lea bill, now in
the House of Representatives as H. r. 1920.
An outstanding merit of the bill is that
it recognizes that domestic aviation is phase
of interstate commerce, and proposes to es-
-tabifsh for it uniform federal regulation.
1T SHOULD be obvious that separate juris-
i dictions by AS states, with as many sets
of unrelated and even conflicting laws would
seriously retard the fullest and best use of
what may be called the new aviation
Likewise, with many new foreign routes
surveyed and available American air traffic
to other continents must assume a new i'm
portance and the federal government alone
is capable Of necessary governmental action
in this field and of correlating overseas and
domestic air traffic
A MODERNIZED aeronautics act should
n encompass this situation, and the Lea
bill does so.
There may be some points in the pending bill
which call for amendment, but these are minor
and should be readily adjustable.
The essential matter is the Lea bill itself.
The aviation industry needs 1t and is wholly
united behind it, and the country needs it in the
national interest.

Zation.

state commerce. WHICH THE CONSTITUTION
