AVLUTION PROBLEMS
DISCUSSED BY GROUP
The Congressional Sub
comittee on Aviation met
with a group of Nome’s av
iation- minded citizens Fri
day evening, at the Officers
Club on the Nome Air Base
for; the purpose of seeking
information as to what it
can and should do regard
ing legislation for the needs
of Alaska’s aviation, upon
its return to Washington.;
This, move seems to be j
very much in order with1
the present system to give
advance thought to our
post-war problems.
Th(e committee wiahed|
to find out from comercial1
and civilian pperaitons ia-1

lems and the hazards to air
.navigation throughout Al
aska.
The group began the dis
cussion bv stressing the
strategic location of the
jTerritory, in that it will
become an air center on the
heavily travelled routes of
the world in air commerce
to all the countries border
ing on the Pacific Ocean.
Following their investig
tion of the airfields and
| facilities in Alaska, the
; committee was as a whole
convinced of the preemin
ent importance of aviation
in Alaska.
The Chairman of the
comittee, Mr. A. L. Bul
winwle, Representative of
North Carolina's 11th Dis
trict, said, “Our Comittee
is conducting an investiga
tion and study of such mat
ters related to the present
and the probable future,
condition and development
in and affecting air navi-'
gation, and domestic a*nd
foreign commerce as it may
deem advisable.”
It seems that the purpose
of the trip was to educate
the committee with first
hand information gathered
from the persons who know
the conditions at present
and what may be expected
