AIR MAIL INCREASE
PLEASES SPONSORS
Bright Future Seen With
Mounting Volume of
New Service.
ny the Associated Press.

0y the ASSOCldIeu HEeSS-
Sponsors of the air mail yesterday
viewed complacently the rapid strides
taken by this branch of the postal
rose-tinted glasses.
Representative Kelly, Republican,
Pennsylvania, author of the scent air
postage bill and several other air mail
measures, predicted that one out of
every 10 pounds Of first-claSs matter
would be carried by plane or airship
within five years. He expressed the be-
lief that this period would see the es-
tablishment of over-ocean routes to
Europe and South America.
Christmas Service Doubled.
Postmaster General New estimated
that the use Of air mail for sending
Christmas gifts and greetings this year
was double that of 1927, which in turn
was twice the 1926 total. He based
his announcement on figures for the
Chicago-Salt Lake City route, with
westbound poundage at 22,6l6 and the
load eastward at 26l99 pounds. Fig
ures on other lines are not yet available.
The House post Office committee Is
expected by Kelly to report favorably on
his bill to authorize the Postmaster
General to enter into contracts for the
transportation of mails by airships 70
foreign countries and TO American pos
sessions in the West Indies and the ter
ritories.
Airship builders and post office Off
Gals have discussed the matter with the
Pennsylvania, who said he expected
British airship interests would make a
bid for the American business, both
north and south of the Equator. The
authority for the Postmaster General to
grant such contracts is desired at this
time, Kelly said.
Foreign Contracts Proposed.
Kelly also has introduced bill to au-
thorize the Postmaster General 10 make
contracts with foreign individuals and
corporations for transporting mail by
air in insular and foreign countries
This measure, he said, was intended 70
meet as far aS the transportation OF
United States mail is concerned, the sit
uation developed by monopoly granted
to German air interests by the govern
ment to Colombia.
At present the Postmaster General is
limited to making contracts in foreign
countries with American companies OF
with governments. The new measure
would empower him to negotiate con-
tracts with the German concern.
Pointing out that the scent airmai
postage which became effective Angus
resulted in a tremendous increase II
the volume of airmail in this country
Kelly said, only the fringe Of the de-
velOpment possible has been reached.
Within five years." Kelly said, :.
believe that the airmail will carry
out of every 10 pounds of firSt-clas
mail. This will mean that airplane!
will carry 35,000000 pounds of non
local first-class mail each year. A
present the air lines carry pound o
every 60 pounds of f1rst-class mail IL
this country.
AT present the airmail is PRACTICAL,
equal to train service as far as regu
larity is concerned. Soon it will sur
pass the slower transportation"
