IN PLANE

Leaving behind him sense of
something accomplished and promise
of greater things yet to be accom-
|plshed because of his visit here, Car
los Riva Palacio, governor of the
Federal District of Mexico, realized
his ambition yesterday and at 1:15
p. m. took off from the commercial
aviation field here for Nogales, in a
Lincoln Standard plane accompanied
by his aide, the representative of Gov
Iernor FauSto Topete of Sonora and
Ygnacio Soto, his personal friend.
The plane was piloted by George
Brill of the Munsell- Brill flying sery-
ice and before the plane started on
the hop to Nogales G. W. Munseu of
the flying service and Governor Pa
lacio made public the statement that
this air journey is the Inauguration
of an international service and that
Governor Palacio has pledged himself
to go to Mexico City and secure and
send back to the MunSell- Brill flying
service, permits to operate in Mexico
and concessions which the aviators
said would mean the immediate start
ing of an international commercial
al, service.
Governor Palacio came to Douglas
late on Friday and started out on
career of inspection of modern devices
by placing the first long distance
telephone call between Douglas and
Mexico City and carrying on lengthy
conversation with Mrs. Palacio. Fol-
lowing that experiment which he
characterized enthusiastically as a
wonderful advancement and guar
antee of the continued understanding
between Mexico mad the United States,
the executive of the Federal District
granted an interview in which he
said that it was his ambition to fly
back to Nogales on his way home and
his hope to be able to fly from Doug
las direct to Mexico City on his next
visit. ,.
It was this statement which started
the movement which ended in the
agreement between the governor and
the flying service officials and
brought about the air trip to Mo-
gales. Hugo A. Escobar, international
representative for the Munsell- Brill
flying service, happening to hear OF
the wish of the governor Immediately
sought him out and extended to him
end his party the use OF the trim
Lincoln STANDARD plane of the flying
service.
The governor accepted the offer.
Fscobar, after midnight on Friday,
went back to his offices in the First
National Bank building and worked all
might trans!ating from English into
Spanish the agreements and applica-
tons that were to have been pre-
sented to the Mexican government
through channels and at an appoint

morning took up the matter with him.
