BOARD OF TRADE
TO AID AIR DRIVE
CottreII Pledges Help to CaIi-
fornians in Campaign for
Plane Line.

The Washington Board Of Trade will
join with the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce in the movement for the es-
tablishment of a Southern transconti-
mental air mail and passenger air line,
which has been proposed by the West
Coast business organization after a
lengthy study of the proposed route,
according to word dispatched last night
to the Los Angeles Chamber.
Robert j. Cottrell, executive secretary
Of the local trade body, has wired to
A. w. Poole, head of the aviation de-
partment of the Los Angeles chamber,
that the 5000 members of the Wash
ington Board Of Trade will lend their
support to the new project in present.
ing the case before the Post Once De-
partment.
The new air line would serve Wash
ington, Atlanta, Birmingham, Shreve-
port, Dallas, Ell Paso, San Diego and
Los Angeles. The principal arguments
for the new route are that it would
serve 35,000,000 persons, 1O,000,000 of
whom now have no air mail facilities
connecting with their cities; that the
Southern line would be over low al
titude route, FL PaSo being the highest
point, somewhat over 5000 feet, making
for comparatively easy flying.
1t Is pointed out that the only air
route Washington now has to the West
is by the shuttle line to New York and
thence West over the Northern route.
This roundabout" route. 1t is asserted,
causes the loss of many valuable hours
of flying time and cuts down the value
of the air mail service.
