SEEN UNLIKELY !

There is little possibility that
the Navy will be called upon to fly
air mail over the Pan-American
route, 1t was intimated today by
Admiral William H. Standley,
Chief Of Naval Operations.
Admiral Standley denied there
is any move being made, either
official or unofficial, to have the
Naval Air Service take over this
operation, the only remaining air
mail service remaining in the
hands Of a private contractor.
Asked If the service was equipped
to fly over the route. he. said:
"Of course, we are equipped
to fly over the water route, but
carrying mail would be difficult
without some changes being
made. We are not any more
eager to take over this opera
