The Troubled Air

May we. who have been
active In aviation for many
years. extend. through your
newspaper. our congratulations
to Edward p. Curtis. the Presi-
dents adviser on aviation, for
his excellent report in which
he proposes the establishment
Of an independent Federal
aviation agency which would
absorb al the civil aviation
functions now performed by
the CAA?
In view Of the fact that the
report states that the CAB
and the CAA have failed TO
modernize air traffic and air
safety regulations properly,
plus implied criticisms Of other
weaknesses. 1t Is well at this
time TO review possible rea-
sons for these failures.
In 1898 with passage of the
Civil Aeronautics Act q num-
Der Of men were chosen TO
head the various departments
Of the newly constituted Civil
Aeronautics Authority. an in
dependent agency. Most Of
these men had grown UP in
aviation from It's earliest days,
and as . group represented
what basic knowledge there
was at the time In civil avia-
ton. In l94l they were called
into the military services where
they remained until 1916. A
large proportion Of these men
for varying reasons did not
return to their old jobs, and
the failures and lack Of growth
OF the CAA can be considered
as beginning from that period.
II Is no secret that the replace
ments during the war years
were, In many important in
stances. men with little or no
aviation experience. who made
policy In q science Of which
they knew little or even
seemed to care less. Many Of
us thought It quite extraor-
binary that these requirements
even refused to fly. but by
virtue Of their positions had
suddenly been classified as
authorities in civil aviation.
Some men. who had held rela-
lively minor positions before
the war. and had decided TO
return TO the CAA, were given
assignments far removed from
their training and experience.
The waste Of talent was
fantastic.
AL Of which brings us back

'Boyish Prank

Thank you for your editorial
Of May l6. "BoVish Prank"
I am little encouraged now to
believe that there is still some
sanity left in this country.
I was shocked. after reading
only . few days before that
crime in the United States had
reached new highs, to read Of
the juvenile court judge dis
missing such q wanton and
cruel assault on the grounds
that penalties do not cure
bad habits" Even supposing
for the moment that they do
not, should such an irrespon-
sible person who showed no
sign Of remorse be allowed to
roam about until perhaps he
commits murder? How about
the other youngsters who viii
now be encouraged by the
judges words to do likewise,
rather than be warned by swift
and adequate punishment?
When she took the oath Of
ONCE. did the Judge have the
same feelings? Is she uphold
ing the law by such q state
ment. or, Is she rather encour-
aging anarchy? For. II her
statement Is allowed to stand,
without her being asked to
resign or be impeached, the
logic Is clear. Law enforcement
has broken down. Let's close
the criminal courts and warn
all citizens to arm themselves.
Evidently the Judge has been
reading too many books Of the
new sociology which says that
criminals are mentally sick
people who should be pitied,
not punished. Too many judges
are falling for this nonsense
because they live in ivory
towers. They are constantly
fawned upon. have the weapon
Of contempt Of court" always
handy. live In the best neigh
borhoods.
Y judges had to live next
door to some Of the people they
dismiss with q few harsh
words. II their daughters were
constantly insulted. their sons
beaten UP. their homes ran
sacked periodically. they would
then realize that most Grim
inals are shrewder than the
judges and the sociologists
combined.

to the subject on which I have
written before. The CAA has
recently stated from its now
no longer lofty height that
q new airport will be built at
Burke. 1t seems that their only
justification for this mistake
is that considerable funds have
already been expended. Yet.
nowhere have ! seen q study
Of this proposed site in rela-
ton to flight characteristics
Of jet aircraft which will soon
be in use. Remember that
when Jets take OF from An
drews Airileld. Washington
National is notified. The dis
lance between Burke and
Washington Is less than An
drewS and Washington and
the CAA still talks In terms Of
safety. ] also would like to
see data which will indicate
what space Is conceivably
possible for expansion II and
when expansion Ii needed.
We in aviation are always
concerned with flying safety.
We also are aware that sta
tistically there win be an acci-
dent at specific intervals. But
do we have 70 up the odds
on flying accidents merely be-
cause we have made an error
which we refuse to deny? Or
maybe II Is because q commu-
nifty Is interested In the imam
cial returns an airport may
bring?
! am still against Burke until
I see Justification which viii
stand close scrutiny.

To Politics

WICHITA, Kans.. Mar. 81 up.
Judge John NJ. Stice of Wichi-
ta's Common Pleas Court, &C
cused of conspiring in the opera
tons of a burglary ring, says the
charges stem from the political
ambitions of Attorney General
John Anderson of Kansas.
1T is apparent that the Re-
publican attorney general Of
Kansas has announced that he
wants TO run for Governor Of this
State" Judge Stice declared. He
wants the hide of a little county
judge who is a Democrat for
campaign material. He has al
ready commenced his press re-
leases.
IF was really guilty of these
accusations. ! would have re-
signed the day this story broke"
Mr.. Anderson initiated disbar-
ment proceedings against judge
Stice Tuesday. The Kansas Su-
preme Court has given the judge
until April 10 to answer the
charges.
"AS far as his accusations Of
politics are concerned, they are
run-of mill type hogwash," Mr.
Anderson said after reading
Judge Stice's statement.
Several hours after Judge Slice
issued his statement Mrs. Stice
reported he had a heart attack
at their farm home near Cheney,
Kans., and was taken to a
Wichita hospital.

MeddIing Loid
To 2 AirIines
By the Associated Press

Eastern Air Lines has charged
that American Airlines and Pan
American World Always tried to
interfere in United States Mexi-
can air negotiations in Mexico
City.
Eastern made complaint to the
Civil Aeronautics Board yester-
day. 1t asked the CAB to re-
Quire that all information about
the obstructive tactics of
American and Pan American be
made available to the board and
to President Eisenhower, and be
made a part of the public record.
Eastern is informed and be-
lieves that American and Pan
American had representatives in
Mexico at the time of the most
recent bilateral negotiations !.
and that such persons. in accord
ance with their past practice,
sought to influence the negotia-
tons" the airline said.
The governments of the United
States and Mexico exchanged
notes March Z providing for an
air transport agreement under
which various air services be-
tween the two countries, long de-
layed by international differ
ences, would be permitted 10 be-
come effective next Tune 5.
Eastern made its accusation
against its two rivals in asking
the CAB to reopen the record on
the applications of Eastern,
American and Pan American for
authority to operate nonstop be-
:ween New York, Washington and
Mexico City.
Eastern said the record has
become stale since the original
hearing in November, 1854. and
contains ancient data" that is
hopelessly inadequate.

'AIeution Islands Dig Out
After Series of Quokes }

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Mar. 81
R.-The series of earthquakes
last week in the Aleutians caused
heavy damage on Adak island
and left children so frightened
they awaken screaming at night,
an observer reported yesterday.
Ward Wells. Anchorage COM
mercial photographer. toured the
Aleutian island chain where more
than 80 aftershocks have been
felt since the heavy March 9
quake that caused Pacific tidal
waves. He made the trip last
week end.
Mr.. Wells said most of the
damage was on Adak, midway in
the island chain. He said some
roads there have splits Is feet
wide and 8 feet deep. some build
ings are damaged and road
guardrails look like they had
been put in by some drunk"
Mr.. Wells said construction
projects on Adak we're damaged
heavily, but that completed
buildings had mostly minor
cracks and broken windows.
Navy officials at Kodiak head
quarters said they considered
Adak suffered extensive light
damage"
