AIRMAIL SHOWS
HEAVY INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Trans.
portation by air of all first class
mail between distant points in the
United States is within the realm of
possibilities.
High postofficc officials told the
United Press today that the in
creased air mail business during the
last u days has opened new ave
nues for expansion Of airmail serv-
ice.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Irving w. Glover. in charge of
airmail service, has under consid-
Grafton a dozen petitions, from cit
les urging that they be given air
mail service.
The department however, will
take no action ON these requests un-
til after the full effects of the re-
duced airmal rates have been de
tlrmined.
The reduction to five cents an
ounce for first class airmail has al
ready increased the volume about
10 percent.
Glover predicted today that the
airmail business would expand an
other 5G percent in the next six
months.
Contract operators have reported
to the department that mail has
become SO heavy that preparations
have been made to fly extra sec
tions whenever necessary.
Postal officials said that the
study of moving all first class mail
by air ON long haulS has been un-
der consideration for some time.
The time for such an experiment
is not far distant, they said. Tests
for this service probably will be
made on the New lork-San Fran
cisco trans-contimental route.
Officials predicted this new serv-
ice would come soon. BY 'soon y
they did not mean within month
or even a year, but that it would
be tried as soon as airmail transpor-
tation advances a little further
