Show AVIATION CHIEF URGES j DELAY IN REGULATION i Any attempt by state or federal: commissions to regulate economic- j ally intrastate and non-scheduled t flying would tend to "strangle"! aviation progress, Joe Bergin, state I aeronautics director, said Tuesday in an interview with a Salt Lake Tribune representative. ! Regulation of intrastate air line companies recently was, advocated by Donald Hacking, state public service commission chairman, who said legislative action toward that end would be requested of the 1947 legislature. Mr. Bergin, although admitting the probable necessity of eventual regulation, said that a more extensive ex-tensive background based upon' .studies of a-jtuiJ. - operations . is . needed before such regulation isj attempted. "The civil aeronautics administration adminis-tration has waived its right to impose im-pose economic regulations on intrastate intra-state and nonscheduled flying be- . cause it believed such action would destroy expansion of air operations," opera-tions," he said. "If the states had regulated rates and operations of bus and truck lines when they first Were developed, progress along those lines would have been hindered greatly," Mr. Bergin said. |
