FLIGHT SUPERVISION
DIFFICULTY OF FRAMING REGULATIONS SOUTHERN CROSS INQUIRY MELBOURNE, Tuesday. The last witnesses examined by the Air Inquiry in Melbourne included Air Commodore R. "Williams, head of the Air Board. He expressed the opinion that it would be unwise to frame regulations for flights over sparsely populated territory, as it would be most difficult to see that they were carried out. However, the department should be given discretionary power on the question of the equipment of airplanes undertaking long and lonely flights. Witness undertook to make suggestions in writing relative to a scheme for mapping Australia along the proper lines. Howard Love, president of the Wireless Institute of Australia, contended that aircraft should be brought under the same regulations as ships in regard to wireless equipment.
