Asks More Pay For Night
Work In u. S. Post Offices

Washington Up Appealing to
the House to pass the Sproul night
ditferential pay bill for postottice en-
ployees, Rep. Clyde Kelly of Pennsyl-
vania explained, in debate May Z, how
heavy is the burden OF night distribu-
ton of mail in the offices in the big
American cities. He quoted from a
statement prepared by L. F: Flaherty,
ecretary-treaSure OF the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks, and
VIM. M. Collins, president of the Rail
way Mail Association. The pending
bill would put 10 per cent bonus on
the pay of postal employees working
nights and would thus tend to force
the department to re-arrange the work
to bring more of it to daylight hours,
or shorten the hours of those employ
ed at night.
In 1926 about 1870 of the clerks in
the New York City central post office
were employed between A p. m. and 8
a. m. In 1922 $40 of the clerks at
the Varick Street terminal office In
New York City worked at night. Last
year at least 10000 clerks were or
night work throughout the city posi-
offices of the United States. OF the
railway mail clerks, 9,427, or over 81
per cent OF the total, are working a
night, in whole or. in part.
The outstanding fact in the histor!
of night employment in the postal ser
vice is its undermining of the healtl
of the employees. Eyes fail, hear
weakening develops, and such disabil
tiles as flatfoot are much more seriou
than among men on day work in tn
same offices. Deprivation of tn
health building sunlight is blamed b
medical authorities for this tendency

BERLIN, July 16 - An1phibious
airplanes are the logical type of ma
chine for trans-oceanic flying, &C
cording to Otto Merkel, the director
of civil aviation, in a speech deliv-
cred here recently.
Merkel, who is also a director of
the I,ufthansa, added that although
the amphibious plane was the ulti-
mate objective, seaplanes were the
only type Of machine suitable for
long distance over water flying at
the present time.
The amphioiouS plane has not yet
reached a sufficiently high stage Of
development, he declaerd.
Merkel was describing the Luft-
Kansas air program, which is re-
liably understood to be the govern
ment's policy as well.
The Lufthansa has determined,
he announced, to collaborate with
foreign aviation circles in an effort
to bring transatlantic flying with
in the range of practical CONNER
cial operations.
After an exhaustive study of the
Numerous possible routes across the
Atlantic, company experts have de-
cided that the Cape Verde-Brazil
hop offers the greatest advantages
as a field for the first commercial
experimentation.
The flight from Ireland to New
foundland is judge dramatically in
advisable since a year-round Serv-
les would be impossible. 1t was
even felt that a route via Iceland
and Greenland would be better than
the hop to Newfoundland
Merkle said that the Condor Syn
dictate, with which the Lufthansa
organization is affiliated, is already
operating a service from Pernam-
buco to Montivideo.
"It is only necessary to link this
service with line from Europe,
through Spain to the Cape Verde
Islands and SO across to northern
Brazil" explained Merkel.
The Lufthansa plans to collab-
crate with the steamship lines in
inaugurating this service, thus do
ing away with the latent rivalry
which has long existed between the
two interests.

MEXICO WAITS
IN SORROW TO
HONOR AIRMAN
Carranza'S Mother and
Wife Get Message From
L-indbergh.
Aviation
BY GEORGE F. FINE


MEXICO CITY, July 16.-Slowly
Mexico is coming to the realization
that her most famous aviator, Capt.
Emilio Carranza, is dead.
His death was so sudden-he was
found about an hour out of New
York after he had started on a flight
from Roosevelt Field TO Mexico City
that the Nation had difficulty
grasping the fact that Carranza was
dead He was a national figure, a
hero and now a national martyr
Indy Sends Message
Carranza's mother and his young
wife, the wife to whom he was n.y.
ing and for whom he disregarded
weather conditions on his tragic last
flight. are much unnerved but try
ing to bear up strongly under their
grief. Thousands Of messages OF
coincidence are coming in to them.
Among the most recent messages
~.es one from Col. Charles A. Lind
hergh which read:
"The loss OF Carranza is regretted
On both sides of the Rio Grande.
Sis life was dedicated to his coun-
Try"
There is no question but that the
funeral of the popular young flier
will be one of the most remarkable
in the Nations history. Already
$4,000 workmen have indicated they
will take part in the procession
while numerous organizations are
making plans for part.
HonorS Planned
Thus far Carranza has been
posthumously promoted to major
"a natural promotion owing to his
flight to the United States-but
other honors have been held in
allegiance, including one to give him
the rank of general.
Likewise other plans for honorS
have been held off. Included in
these plans is one to have the ruins
of the Ryan monoplane placed in
the national museum and also to
have a monument erected at the
head of the runway at Valbuena
Flying Field-the runway from
which Carranza started his flight
to the United States

port Runway.

Plans for increasing size Of the
Indianapolis airport will be rushed
to completion, it was indicated to-
day, as result of the accident in
which two National Guard fliers
were seriously injured Sunday.
Adjutant General William H
Kershner today expressed the hope
immediate steps would be taken to
acquire 282 E 'eS of land adjacent
to the airpor-. an option on which
has been obtained by James W.
Hurt, City Trust Company real
estate manager.
Lieut.. Carroll D. Doak and Sergt.
John L. Long were seriously injured
Sunday when their plans struck a
tree on land included in Hurts OPP
ton.
Would Provide Ala Acres
The 282 acres under option would
provide 474-acre airport with run
ways of nearly mile in every di-
rection. Hurt obtained the option
for ninety days at an approximate
price of $500 an acre. He repre-
sented the indianapolis Airport
Corporation and the State armory
board.
The enlarged airport would be one
of the finest in the country. Ac-
cording to Capt. H. Weir Cook, Army
aviation instructor attached to the
observation squadron, the field
would be better than those of Cleve-
land, Chicago, st. Louis and Louis
vile, and would cost less.
The new airport would be "L"
shaped, extending mile along the
Holt Rd. to Morris st. and west
along Morris st. to where the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks intersect
the northwest corner.
Coast to- Coast Field
Captain Cook has received a let
ter from Paul Henderson, Chicago,
assuring him Indianapolis will be a
stop city on the transcontinental
proposed air transport corporation,
Of which Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh is technical committee head,
if an airport suitable for large trans
port planes is provided.
Captain Cook said Mai. H. c. Fer
guson and Capt. Phil Love, who Wis
tied the city recently in interest of
the new transcontinental passenger
line, tentatively approved use Of the
indianapolis airport, providing the
increased land was obtained.
Guard Against Crashes
Cook was enthusiastic over plans
for enlarging the airport.
1.-THE Indianapolis airport must be
improved to prevent future acct
DENTS" he said.
Its too bad it takes serious &C
cident such as that Sunday to prove
the necessity for a larger field and
for removing adjacent obstacles"
