Two Cent Stamp Not
Nee on Air
Mail, bennett Says

Qaite a number OF Brownsville
and Valley people are spending
money unnecessarily in the use az
air mail. Postmaster c.. w. Den
nett made known today.
We have had many letters come
into the local office carrying the
ordinary two-cent stamp In addi-
ton 70 the five-cent air MAJ
stamp he said.
1T Is probable that the confusion
is a result OF the case Of special de-
livery letters. which carry a ten
cent stamp in addition TO the two
cents for regular postage.
Five cents Will carry the airmail
letter TO its destination. but II does
not include special delivery. Den
nett said.
However. the cases where the pub
lie has used unnecessary stamps in
air mail are becoming less frequent
at the local poStoffice and in 2
short time should be entirely elm
mated. bennett believes.
In 1928. there were l40. 900. 900 air
mail letters carried I'm the United,
States. and n far from negligible
number Of these had too much post
age. according to n report BY the
poStoffice department.

Minister Ramsay Macdonald said he
hoped soon to reveal how the nego-
tiations were TO be conducted. Hugh

to which Mr.. Macdonald referred.
The speech was before a labor

Mr.. Macdonald declared he would
put il no higher than to say he was
hopeful. Announcements Of such
things as the meeting place of a
disarmament conference and its
objects might be expected within

II am not a prophet and am not
going 70 pose as one able to pro-

Of this. that the obstacles which
have been in the way Of an under

The great thing which Is want

Of different peoples. different races

Letter Says Not Practical To

Probability that the air mail line

parent In a communication received
today by Postmaster O. w. bennett
from the second assistant post
master general. who answered a let
ter written by bennett concerning
the special cachet for the first
rail over the line.
The letter stated that" since the
time element entered into the ex-
tension Of G. A. M. 20 from Houston
TO Brownsville. ID would not be
practical TO inaugurate service be-
tween the two cities until the new
night route now being mapped Is
completed and light abeacons and
emergency landing fields installed.
This means that first air mail
over this line will not leave here be-
fore the first OF the wear or later
bennett said. Il. c. Elliott, airway
extension superintendent Of the
United States Department OF Com
merce was here recently for about
ten DAYS. mapping the route and at
tempting to complete arrangements
for emergency landing fields near
Harlingen and Raymondville.
Planes ove G. a. NJ. % arrive in
New Orleans from Houston at 100
n. M daily. That means they leave
Houston about 8 a.. m. and con-
s%equentlv would have to leave
Brownsville at Q or 3 a. IN. The
plane from New Orleans arrives in
Houston about 4 d.. m. which means
that il would be 10 or II O'Clock at
night arriving in Brownsville"
