being developed at Vera Cruz for
connections to Mexico City. The
Mexico City train out Of Vera Cruz
leaves the Tejeria air field at 1902
a. m, and the train from the Mexican
capital arrives at the field at 1929
n. m. Connections from the north
will necessitate night flights be-
tween Brownsville, Tampico and
Vera Cruz, the return trip by day
flight. Whether the schedule from
the border will be arranged to make
this connection without a stopover
at Vera Cruz has not been deter
mined. IL has been announced that
present plans propose direct Tampico-
Mexico City route for passengers
not desiring to go by way Of Vera
Cruz.
Present Many Problems
"Working out schedules for the
air lines presents the same problems
as did schedules for rail lines during
the early days of rail development"
the president of the Mexican COM
pany said. 81 am confident that
schedules will be worked out which
will assure minimum delay in hand
ling both mail and passenger traf-
fic."
Officials Of the Mexican Aviation
company expressed the opinion that
the Brownsville route would be des-
ignated for the proposed five-day
service between New York and Bue-
nos Aires. Argentine, eliminating
the hazards Of travel over the Gulf.
This route. according to recent sur
veys would be near sea level, with
a maximum altitude of 1000 feet
between Merida and Tegucigalpa.
Principal points on the proposed
route from Brownsville south are
Tampico. Vera Cruz. Merida. Belize.
Teguci~alpa. Managua, Cristobal, Ju-
RADIO, Buenaventura and down the
west coast of South America via
Guayquil. Bahia. Lima and Valpa-
raise: then east to the Montevideo
