AIR MALLS
SUCCESS,
P0STALHEAD
Business Men Using it More
Than Curiosity Seekers,
49,, a.. Says Henderson

Chicago, July 3.-(By the A. P.)
-Transcontinental mail planes were
rushing through the air with bust
ness-like regularity today, the third
day of the new coast-tO-coast, day
and night air mail.
The heavy run of air mail con-
tinued, satisfying Col. Paul Hender-
son, assistant postmaster-general,
superintendent of air mails with
headquarters here, that business
generally has found the new service
helpful.
There was a suspicion that at the
start persons desiring to send and
receive letters by air mail out of
curiosity or for souvenir purposes
might cause Misrepresentation of the
character of the service actually
given.
"Most of the business people
manufacturers, bankers, jobbers and
advertising men, are large users OF
the air mail, "C0l. Henderson said.
"The percentage of curiosity letters
is exceedingly small"
With nearly machine-like precis-
ion the mail planes were skimminh
through the skies today, keeping
close to schedule. One package west
bound today from Cleveland to San
Francisco, carrying nearly $500 in
postage, was so vari-colored as to
attract attention Of air mail en-
pIcyes. One side Of the parcel was
green, the other blue. There was
white spot, too, which on examina-
tion, proved to be an address the re-
mainder of the color being provld-
ed by the 1(anket Of Nair mail
stamps. The parcel was said to
contain films of the tornado havoc
In Lorain. Ohio, and that vicinity.

DANIELS DOUBTS 1T
Thinks Time May Not BE Ripe
For Such Action in the
Convention

Madison Square Garden, New
York, July 3. (By the A. P.)-Sever-
al members of the Democratic ma
tional committee were discussing on
the floor of the convention sug-
gestion that the committee seek to
end the deadlock by pressing for the
public withdrawal Of both Smith and
McAdoo.
"There still is some question
whether the time is ripe for such
a move,' said Josephus Daniels
former Secretary Of the Navy, when
asked about it. Cordell Hull. chair
man of the committee, thought the
suggestion had merit. Some members
of the committee received the sug-
gestion favorably and leaders out
side the committee expressed will
lingness to confer on the question.
Apparently nothing developed to
blast the idea after it got under
discussion for after casting a bout
Oh it Chairman Hull said the scheme
seems unreasonable. and Franklin
D. Roosevelt, manager for Governor
Smith, said "Pooh! Pooh!"
