Paramount News-Associated Press flying laboratory to permit the dis trlbution of prints along the line of flight.
 The plane piloted by Bud Gour- ney. St. Louis air mail pilot, carried all the intricate laboratory eauip- ment necessary for developing, print ing, cutting. splicing and titling, as well as compact darkroom cap- able Of turning out large number Of still photographs. Besides the pilot, the plane carried a staff of three men.
 While the big plane raced across the continent the laboratory staff worked continuously. Hundreds of feet Of film and still photographs made by several different camera men had to be developed and pre- pared for delivery to the theaters and ASsoclated Press newspapers.
 The flight of the laboratory plane is believed to mark a new deye,on- ment in the transportation of news linn. During the past few years every possible means Of expcditinc. pictures has been attempted but this IS believed to be the first instance in Nhlch the time spent in actual air travel has been utilized.
