WILLIAM P. MAC CRACKEN, Jr. PAPERS
Scope and Content Note
The recent deregulation of the airline industry has produced a great deal of
confusion and controversy, but it is still a far cry from the chaotic conditions of the early
1920's when commercial passenger service was its infancy. In those simpler times there
were no overnight air mail deliveries, no licensing qualifications for pilots, no safety
standards for aircraft, and almost no regularly scheduled passenger service anywhere in
the United States. But air travel began to change with the passage of the Air Commerce
Act of 1926 which established the bureau of aeronautics in the Commerce Department
and provided for the first time for the regulation of civil aviation.
The first federal regulator of aviation was William P. Mac Cracken, Jr. An
experienced aviator who had served as a flight instructor during World War I,
MacCracken also served on the Chicago Aero Commission and was a member of the
board of governors of the National Aeronautical Association (1922-26) before Herbert
Hoover appointed him as the first Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics in
1926. MacCracken's Papers were given to the Hoover Library by Mrs. Sallie L.
MacCracken Murphy and her daughter, Nell Elizabeth MacCracken, in several
installments totaling 45 linear feet between 1971 and 1992. The most recent of these
accretions (9 linear feet) was received in March of 1992 and has proven to be a valuable
source of information concerning the expansion of commercial aviation, numerous
corporate mergers, the background of the notorious 1930 conference of airline operators
and a subsequent Senate investigation.
After helping to draft much needed safety standards
left the Commerce Department in 1929 to resume the practice of law. He continued to be
actively involved in the growth of commercial aviation after leaving the Commerce
Department. Indeed, his role as chairman of the 1930 conference was thrust upon him
because his firm had advised and represented so many of the major airlines. Ultimately,
this relationship would make him a prime target of Senate investigators. The conference
had been convened by U.S. Postmaster Walter F. Brown in an effort to get airline
operators to agree to a consolidation of the various airmail routes into three or four
coast to coast networks operated by the best equipped and most financially stable
companies. This close cooperation between the federal government and the major
commercial airlines left Brown and MacCracken vulnerable to charges of favoritism.
When a complaint was lodged with the Senate Committee on Ocean Mail and Air Mail
Contracts, Chairman Hugo Black agreed to investigate what appeared to be a Republican
scandal.
Black opened the hearings in September 1933 and MacCracken soon found
himself prominently featured as one of the alleged conspirators. As part of the
Committee's investigation, Black subpoenaed and later seized MacCracken's office files.
Major portions of these files were stamped as exhibits and offered in evidence before
Black's committee. The files were eventually returned
virtually all of the papers received from Nell MacCracken in 1992.
Even though investigators found no evidence of collusion or conspiracy in the
files or elsewhere, the Roosevelt administration cancelled all air mail contracts with
commercial airlines in February 1934. Henceforth, the airmail would be delivered by the
U.S. Army Air Corps. Despite a valiant effort, the Air Corps soon proved ill-equipped
and too disorganized to handle the job. After twelve fatal accidents and several lesser
injuries in less than a month, President Roosevelt allowed the airlines to resume flying the
mail in mid-March.
The exercise proved the wisdom of awarding contracts to the most experienced
operators; but it had also been very costly. Dozens of airlines executives who had
attended the "spoils conference" were illegally blacklisted and, in effect, excluded from
employment with any of the major airlines. A half million dollars of Air Corps equipment
was destroyed and twelve lives were lost. Private operators had been receiving an average
of 54 cents per mile to fly the mail in 1933. The cost of Air Corps operations amounted to
$2.21 -- over four times as much!
MacCracken's papers do not contain the full record of the Black Committee's
deliberations, but they do provide considerable information on a wide range of issues and
aviation related topics during an important period in the development of commercial
aviation. The collection contains a large number of photographs of early planes and
equipment.
The collection also contains files concerning MacCracken's law practice after
1929 and his service as secretary [1925-36] of the American Bar Association.
