THESE AIR CRASHES.
Civilian air navigation has re
ceived many severe setbacks since
its conception on a commercial ba
sis last summer because of the nu
merous crashes occurring on sev
eral of the best lines. This does no
mean that air travel is basically
unsound, but it does mean tha
steps must be taken toward th
prevention of such terrible acci
dents.
Two definite factions have evi
denced themselves. Certain news
papers, on the one hand, have de
voted columns on their front page

are actively engaged in attemptin
to, hamper the airplane business a
much as possible. Several aviatio
companies, on the other hand, ar
trying to block a bill now befor
Congress providing for an investi
gation of recent crashes, and ar
naturally quite anxious to stop un
favorable publicity. The count
coroner at Kansas City, where th
latest crash occurred, claims tha
the hasty dismantling and remova
of the wreckage had wiped out a:
possible evidence which he migh

aviation factions are pulling in th
wrong direction. Instead of offer
