RIHL HERE ON
TRIP EAST In
MONEY SEARCH
Aviation Company
Head Says Much De-
pends on Visit; Con-
cessions Old

The success of airmail in Mexico
will have a strong bearing on the
trip he is making east in an en-
deavor to interest American capital
in the project, George L. Rihl.
president Of the Mexican aviation
company, said here Saturday after
noon during a brief stop-over on
his journey 10 New York and Wash
ington.
The official arrived in Matamoros
in one Of the big all-metal planes
owned by his company shortly after
D. m, and crossed the river al
most Immediately for conference
with y. b. Creager on the matter OF
a proposed airmail service from
Washington to the border here.
Mr. Creager was not in the city.
and the official had long confer
ence with members of the Joint air
port committee of the city commits
sion and the Chamber Of Commerce.
The airport situation generally was
gone over, all agreeing that the
route through Houston, Brownsville
and Iampico was the logical one.
Mr.. Rihl expressed disappoint-
ment at not being able to see Mr..
Creager. A conference with him was
one Of the objects Of his visit 10
the United States at this time, he
stated.
He left Brownsville Saturday
night at 7:45 for San Antonio.
where he will stay for two days he
fore proceeding to Washington and
New York in the interest OF raising
tunds for his venture, he declared.
He will return through Brownsville
IN about two weeks, he said.
Mr. Rihl revealed for the first time
Saturday afternoon that his com.
pany has held the concessions for
airmail service from Mexico CITY 10
the border, and from the capital on
southward, for the past two years.
They have not felt that the time was
ripe to act on them before, and
therefore they were never made
public, he declared.
Prior to the Lindbergh goodwill
flight the Mexican government had
only a luke-wsrm interest in avia-
tion- but that event changed the
entire face of things. and made the
tying game very popular one in
Mexico, he said.
While here Mr.. Rihl expressed re-
gret that he did not have time for
survey OF the sites under con-
sideration by the local airport COM
mittee for municipal landing
