-FOUR AIR LINES
T0CENTER HERE
Mexico West Coast Mail
To Come By Way Of
Monterrey

Brownsville's place as the air line
center Of the South was practically
assured Monday when plans were
announced for a fourth major air
route to be inaugurated March 9,
by the Corporation Aeronautica de
TranSportes, S. A., who on that day
will start daily mail, passenger and
express service between this point
and Mazatlan, principal port city
on the west coast Of Mexico. Cities
to be served on this new route are
Matamoros, Monterrey, Torreon,
Durango, and Mazatlan, the west
ern terminal.
J. M. Grajales, vice president of
the company, arrived at Matamoros
late Sunday, and Monday discussed
plans for the new route with
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce
officials. Theodore T. Hall. Of Los
Angeles, president Of the company
and also president of the American
Aircraft Corporation, will be here
Thursday to complete plans for
initiation of the new line.
Grajales said that his company
had already been given the mail
contract by the Mexican govern
ment, and that Ryan and Fairchild
planes would be used, with a trip
each way daily. The planes will
leave the east and west terminals
at approximately the same time.
Eight hours flying time is required
for the flight.
Representatives from each city
along the route will be in Browns
vile Saturday to see the first
plane take off, Grajales sait.
Evidence of MeXico's enthusiasm
over the proposal is contained in
Gra jales' declaration that Durango
citizens worked day and night in
order to put their rough landing
field in condition after an appeal
by the mayor.
Lloyd Anderson, chief pilot for
the corporation, has had $500
hours in the air, and will fly the
first ship east toward Brownsville
from Mazatlan.
Other lines which will be in oper-
alton are: Pan-American, from
Brownsville to Mexico City; Texas
Air Transport, from Brownsville to
San Antonio; and Gulf Air Lines,
from Brownsville to Houston.

Mobile Blamed For
Crash Of Italia On
North Pole Flight

ROME, March 4-tPl-Official
blame for the disaster which ended
the North pole flight Of the dirigi-
BILE Italia last May was attached
today to General Umberto Mobile,
its commander.
Two counts are contained in the
censure. which was made by the
official board of inquiry appointed
by Premier Benito Mussolini.
The first of these blames Mobile
for the crash itself; the second
finds no acceptable justification OF
his letting himself be rescued
from the ice first when finally
the Swedish aviator Lundborg
reached the stranded men.
The report contains the highest
praise of Captain Alberto Mariana,
pilot. and Captain Filippo Zappi,
navigator, whose conduct with the
Swede. Finn Malmgren, was the
subject of many reports after their
rescue.
The repor says the wreck of the
Italia was due to a faulty maneu-
YER. the result partly of the COM
position of the crew and OF the
way the craft was handled. Re
sponsibility of the maneuver fails
on the Italia'S commander"

Thus far all indications
have been that the revolt is

times.
Two states-Sonora and Vera

While loyal troops were being
dispatched to the affected regions,
there had been no bloodshed so
far, the revolving military COM

RAIL LOSSES CUT,
CLAIM AGENTS FIND
Session Here Studies Means
of Stopping Needless
Drains on Resources.

How the railroads are successfully
eliminating carelessness and waste as
factors in handling passenger and
freight traffic was described today by
r. H. Ashton, president of the Ameri-
can Railroad Association, to the open
ing meeting of the associations freight
claim division at the Willard Hotel.
The conference brought together some
600 freight claim officials representing
leading railroads of the United States,
Canada and Mexico.
THE railroads for some time have
realized the tremendous cost OF care
lessness. both in money and human
lives" MIR. Ashton said, "and are ac-
lively engaged in reducing 1t to MIMI
mum. 1t has been brought nome 10 'ne
railroads that they must improve Their
financial condition by plugging unnec-
esSary drains on their resources.
Through organized EFFORT the ran
roads have reduced the amount oil
claims paid out for loss and damage to
freight shipments from $ll9.833,l 21 III
1920 to S37,146,8l3 in 1928, or saving
of SO per cent.
This reduction has been effected de-
spite the fact that the volume ol
| freight now being handled by the raj
| carriers is approximately Z per cent
greater than that of 9 years ago"
Other savings effected by railroad
arrangements, through the conserva'
ton of fuel and the introduction OF
more efficient rolling stock and equip
ment were described by the speaker.

| ference was made by Commissioner
