MAIL SYSTEM
IN FLORIDA IS
PARALYZED
Embargoes on Freight and
. Express Shipments Throw
Load on Uncle Sam

Jacks onville, Fla, Dec. 22.--t4)--
: succession Of enb t'goes forcing
shippers to advance their means of
moving merchandise in and out Of
the state from freight to express and
then to mail, has caused one Of the
most serious traffic congestions here
ever suffered IN the United States,
traffic experts declare.
When the Florida boom first start
3D. the railroads began to feel the
pressure and soon an embargo was
laid down on freight inbound. This
forced the shippers to resort to the
more expensive though usually faster
express service. But last week the
express companies, finding them
selves swamped, also were forced to
lay down an embargo.
The people then turned their at
tention to the method provided by
Uncle Sam through the parcel post.
This has resulted in an unparalleled
Jam here which is virtually paralyz-
inr the postal system in the state.
Mails in and out of Jacksonville are
running two to six and eight hours
late and the end is not in sight.

pole. possibly backed by Henry Ford,
Is now in prospect, according to re-
ports current here.
Partial substantiati"n "f the re-
port is contained in uhmiSs ION by
McC0nk Field. authorities at Dayton,
Ohio, that two of the best known
fliers in the army had been invited
to pilot a plane from Point Barrow,
Alaska, to Spitzhergan across the top
of the world.
Although Mr.. Ford could no. be
reached last night. executives ut his
factories said they had no knowledge
Of the proposed flight and added it
might be one of the many PROPOSE
tions constantly placed before the
manufacturer.
Mr.. Ford has turned his attention
to airplane manufacture recently and
owns an all-metal plane which, il is
believed, would be used on the pro-
posed flight. Information here in
dicates that Mr.. Ford conferred with
those Interested in the flight some
weeks ago.
Vilhalmur e.efanson, the noted
arctic explorer, is said to be the
moving spirit of the expedition which
it is thought, will leave next April
or May.
LieutenantS John A. MacReady and
James II. Doolittle of McCOok Field
have been invited to go on the polar
trip. 1t is understood they have
been asked to visit Detroit to give
their opinion of the feasibility of the
proposed flight. They regard the
flight as practical and would like
to undertake it.
Lieut.. MacReady, with Lieut.. Oak
ley G. Kelly, made the first trans
continental airplane flight a few
years ago. Lieut.. Doolittle holds sew
eral air records and won the recent
Schneider Cup race at Baltimore.
The proposed route is l,425 miles
