WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The
Post Office Department is doing the

the day is not far distant when 1t

Mr. New said he agreed with a
statement made in Chicago by Paul
Henderson of the National Air Trans
port. Inc, that efficient air mail
service cannot be rendered until the
government replaces "oldfashioned
single engined planes.
What we have done to date has
been accomplished with equipment
that everybody knows has fallen far

New.
