He Says.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press stan Correspondent


,. NEW YORK, Dec. 26-Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh, whose New
York-to-Paris flight generally is
credited with accelerating interest
IN aviation in this country. talked
Today Of the future of flying and,
more particularly, how it is likely
10 affect the average man.
In response to a request by the
United Press, Lnidbergh outlined
Several tasks that must be accom-
plished before the airplane becomes
an everyday factor in the life of
the average American.
He disclaimed any power of
prophecy and pointed out that in
an industry tha tis changing as fast
as is aviation, no one can predict
precisely what will happen.
He believes airports are playing
and will continue to play a most es-
Eential part.
Why Flying Makes Gains
Before we can expect to have a
great number Of aircraft used by
private owners Lindbergh said I'VE
must find ways for flying to take
a place in the everyday life Of the
average man.
"One of the first essentials is to
have airports within what might be
called a short taxi ride from the
downtown district"
He pointed out how flying by
private individuals is making its
greatest headway, per capita. in
sections of the country like Texas
and Oklahoma, where there is less
congestion and where cities are
farther apart.
Lindbergh was asked whether the
airplane ever was likely to become
as common a means Of transporta-
ton as the automobile.
VIII Become Essential
The automobile he declared. ''is
used as an essential in the average
persons business while travelling be-
tween his home and Office
we cannot expect the airplane,
in a period of few years, to fit
into their lives in that way.
The private airplane is still
luxury to a majority of the people.
The automobile is a necessity.
Aircraft must be reduced in cost,
made easier to fly, and they will
have to become an essential to our
routine of life before they will be
sold in numbers which can be COM
pared, even in small way, with
automobile sales.
Larger Planes Predicted
However, I believe the use of
private aircraft by business men
will increase each year and that
as time goes on the plane will be-
come a necessity to many people
as part Of their everyday life"
The tendency on trunk airlines,
Lindbergh believes, will be toward
larger planes.
In that connection, he pointed
out that airlines are carrying more
passengers than they we're a year
ago.
Big planes are practical, he said,
and expressed the opinion that it
would be entirely feasible to fly the
Dornier DOX across the ocean un-
der proper conditions.
