u. 5. AIR MAIL POST
! TO Be ABANDONED
Superintendency to Be De-
cIared Vacant Wednesday
When A. {. Peterson Quits.

The last chapter in the operation
of the air mail service by the Gov
ernment will be written Wednesday.
when Alvin z. Peterson will step out
of the position of general superin-
tendent. Postmaster General New an
nounced yesterday afternoon that the
post would be declared permanently
vacant.
The Post Office Department sur
rendered at midnight. August 81,
the last of the air mail routes oper-
ated by it. Mr.. Peterson has been
busy since then disposing of the
property of the service. When he
leaves this week he will become affil-
lated with the National Air Trans
port, Inc..e with headquarters in New
York City, one of the larger contract
air mail lines.
Equipment Valued at Millions.
Airplanes and other property which
Mr.. Peterson has disposed of since
August 81 have been valued at sew
eral million dollars. The service had
SIS airplanes. 35 of which were sold
at auction, the others being turned
over to various Government depart
ments. The lighting equipment will
continue to be operated by the De-
partment of Commerce for the bene-
fit of all airpianes, just as lighthouses
are operated at sea. The various
airports have been turned over to the
municipalities nearest to them.
AS explained by Postmaster General
New the purpose of the personally
1ucted" Government air mail Serv-
j was to demonstrate to private
capital that the service was not only
possible scientifically, but that it could
be made profitable commercially, and
thereby to encourage the creation of
a new industry in the 'United States.
There are more companies making
airplanes In this country today than
there are companies making automo-
biles, Mr.. New points out. There are
about 20 privately owned lines flying
the air mail or about to take up the
work. The National Air Transport
is operating the route between New
York and Chicago.
Some Lines Making Money.
Some of the contract air mail lines
have not proved profitable and their
operators have dropped out. But 9TH
ers are making money, and are find
ing that, with careful operation,
they can steadily increase their profits.
Postmaster General New firmly be-
lieves that the air mail service will
grow in popularity and that It can be
conducted with ever-increasing profit
and safety.
The Government looks forward to
the time when privately operated air
mail lines will insure a permanent
body Of skilled flyers in private life.

SUMMERALL LAUDS
LEADERSHIP ABILITY
General Cites Quality as Great As
set Before Reserve Officers
Association.

Leadership Is quality needed IN
every comma nder from the senior gen
eral down to include the squad leader.
and lack OF it invariably results in
needless loss of lives and disaster.
Mai. Gen. Charles p. Summerall, chief
Of staff of the Army, told more than
400 members of the Reserve Officers
Association at their monthly meeting
in the Interior Department Audito-
rium Tuesday night.
In addition to tactical and teChni.
cal ability. the true leader possesses
the power of controlling and direct
ing his men so as to create a team
work which will bring maximum re-
suits" Mai. Gen. Summerall said
"'rhe commander is the instructor,
administrator, co-ordinator and en-
ergizer of his unit. He is the head
that plans clearly. the hand that eNe.
cutes enercctically. the heart that in
spires. He is essentially the morale
officer Of his unit.
"A military unit is no better than
it's commander: it is n faithful mirror
and measure of his character and
capacity. The officer who would in
fluence his men must actually be whnt
he desires them to become. lie must
he willing and able to do anything
he orders them to do.
The loyalty of a commander to
his unit is generously reciprocated.
Loyalty works downward it begins
with the commander. The leader who
is not loyal to his men will get little
or no loyalty from them. The leader
who appeals to the reason and the
pride of his men, is exercising a pow.
erful influence for teamwork When
properly identified with his troops,
the personality of the leader remains
in their minds, and in the stress of
battle his influence encourages them
and strengthens their resolution.

She contendcd that the former pro

Taft desired to know whether such aC-
ton would not lead to corruption and
open the door to officials who did no.

Other members of the court express

that they considered it sautary to
have officials punished criminally who
failed to proceed against offenders un-

Mrs Willebrandt suggested that
there was grave doubt as to whether
Donelly had evidence that the law had
been violated in the particular case in
which he had been prosecuted, but
Justice Butler pointed out that the
