                      IN THE AIR 
 
        The Civil Aeronautics Authority has jurisdictional over air 
commerce similar to that of the Interstate Commerce Commission over 
other forms of transportation.   It regulates air traffic between the 
States and with foreign lands.   It might issue regulations as to 
emergency landings on navigable waters or on lands within any wilder- 
ness area but it is not likely to play any real part in your problem. 
 
        State authorities, presu-mably, may control air craft operating 
exclusiv4"within state limits and having no connection with aWW inter-

state opoeration, altho such traffic might interfere with established 
national traffic lines and so be objectionable. I have not studied the 
question of state jurisdiction in this respect, and would simply suggest

that the proper state authority, if Jurisdiction is asserted, might well

promulgate a regulation denying such local air craft the right to land, 
except in an emergency, in any wilderness or restricted area without a 
special license to do so, 
 
                     USE OF WATERS 
 
          While under recent rulings of the US. Supreme Court almost 
any stream might possibly be classed as navigable or as affecting navi- 
gation, that issue may largely be avoided under proper regulations. If, 
however, it should arise, the determination of the governm.ental agency 
involved should control until and in the absence of a court ruling thereon.

 
           State laws as to hunting and fishing apply to all waters. 
If the State laws protect wilderness areas such as you have in mind, 
well and good; if not, no doubt they are sufficiently broad to permit 
the State game commission to issue a regulation forbidding hunting and 
fishing within the limits thereof, with qualifications if deemed proper.

 
           State regulations might provide for federal emnployees, if 
any, stationed within any such wilderness area, to act as state agents 
or game wardens to help enforce the state laws.   A similar regulation 
by the national organization would permit the federal employee to so act.

 
           The use of motor boats on the water of any such wilderness 
area should be denied except under special permits, unless within some 
established route for commerce or travel.    Such a regulation would 
probably issue out of the Bureau of Inspection and Navigation, Depart- 
ment of Commerce.   In the event any operation of the War Department 
is affected in any waters involved, a regulation from that source might 
also be necessary. 
 
                       USE OF LAND 
 
            Except as to hunting and fishing, and the enforcement of 
health laws, it will probable be undesirable, if not impossible, to 
restrict or limit the use of lands by a private owner within any such 
wilderness area. He may also, of course, be restricted as to the creation

of fire hazards.
