Pan-AmeriCan to
Remain Here If
Trains Speed Up

we will remain in Brownsville
If arriving time of trains can be
set back one hour"
This is the text of a telegram re-
ceived Monday morning from Geo.
l.. Rihl, vice president of Pan-Amer-
lean Airways, Inc, who is in New
York comforting with John It.
Trippe, president Of the air line op-
orators. relative to location Of the
northern terminal of that line along
the Mexican border.
No other word had been received
from Mr.. Rihl and local officials
said they had no comment TO make
until the position of the operators
Of airmail and passenger lines here
had been made more clear.
Pan-American officials some time
ago asked Brownsville to aid them
in speeding up arrival of trains here
and the Missouri Pacific schedule
was shortened and q club car was
put on so that passengers intending
to continue on into Mexico by air
could have their breakfast before
arriving here.
Since that time Mayor A. 3. Cole
and others have conferred with w.
G. Choate, general manager of Mis-
souri, Pacific lines in Texas, and
Mr.. Choate says that as soon as a
short stretch Of track between here
and Houston has been ballasted the
time of passenger trains
between Houston and Brownsville
can be further reduced, possibly as
much as As minutes.
In connection with airport con-
tract, Thomas <. Gilmore has been
sent here from New York by Pan
Airways to act as opera
tions manager at their terminal.
Mr.. Gilmore has been in Browns
vile several days.
Rihl was expected to pass through
in a day or two en- route
back to Mexico from New York City
and he is expected to explain more
fully the position Of the company
