 MORE AIR TRAVEL
Predicts Speed and Economy
 Will Be Combined

New York, Dec. 16 tP>-The speed of air travel will soon be available at a cost no greater than that of the automobile. Harry r. Guggen- helm, president Of the Daniel Gug- scnheim fund for promotion of acronAutics, last night told the Railroad club.
 "A modern five passenger air plane, equipped with a Wright Nhirlwind motor. costs about s12,- 5o0," he said allowing about s5,- nn0 for the motor and the balance for the plane. These figures are based on the cost of q years out put of $50 engines and 80 planes. On quantity production basis, 1t is easy to imagine how greatly this cost can he reduced"
 The cost Of airplane operation is comparatively small. MT. Guggen- helm said, pointing out that the gasoline consumption of the type mentioned is approximately 13 gal Ions an hour, while about a pint of oil is used per hour for a 90-mile speed
 Overhead, insurance, depreciation and obsolcscence Mr. Guggenheim named as the important factors in prescnt-day cost of airplane opera tion.

 perity, Lawrence Says

New Haven. Dec 16 UP)-New confidence has filled New England and there has beeen "a genuine re- newal of the spirit of progress in re- cent months," President John &. Lawrence of the New England council told that organization here today.
 He said this was true despite the fact that Certain of our con- munities have just begun to be ser iously embarrassed by the economic pressure which most of us here fore saw a couple of years ago."
 Tt has been generally recog- nlzed, Lawrence said, that the New England council. created by the business organizations of New Eng land, with the aid and encourage ment ot the New England governors is the outstanding factor in the re- awakened spirit of New England.
 "The council has been able to command some of the ablest minds ill New England and set them to "'ih Nu So!!IH ol our bdSlc ploDltlllS That the council has been able to enlist such services for the solution of our problems is due to the strength, the unselhshness, the sin- cerity Of purpose, and the represen- tative character of the men who compose it.

ion. So long as the council can keep lhe confidence of our people through this same unselhsh devotion to the interest of New England, just so long will it be in position to serve constructiVely as a guide to this sec ton in Its economic development.
 Our experience in the last two years proves that our idea Of two years ago was worth putting into &C., 'tlon, anu the principles underlying our organization and operation en- tlrely sound. It remains only for us 10 see that our actual performance IS up to the same standards.
 You know of the progress our agricultural friends are making with their farm marketing program set up under council auspices; you know also that we are making prog ress toward development of con- structive power policies for New England. and stimulating power companies to aid in our industrial development
 We have succeeded in stimulat- ing a reaWakening of community spirit in some places where that was the greatest need, and brought about the study of local conditions: we have stimulated also a wider use Of the research method in the solu- ton of every day business problems; we are working toward New Eng land unity among our representa- lives in Washington, and formed an association with Virginia which has already proved of concrete value to New England.
 Last, but not least, the assistance to business in Vermont, embarrassed by the recent floods, organized by New England bankers at the re- quest of the council has served to bring us all closer together, and demonstrate on a large scale what 1t may mean to us in New England to work together"
